"Do you know how Madam answered the proposal for a son-in-law at the last banquet?" Old Madame Li said nonchalantly.
Lady Li had a foreboding feeling in her heart and didn't dare to ask.
Seeing her reaction, Old Madame Li instead laughed, "Do you think that only high-born families are worthy of such demands?"
"Mother, I'm not used to you speaking like this." Lady Li slowly calmed herself, realizing that she had spoken impulsively to the old madam earlier, mostly because the frustration from returning from the Chu family hadn't dissipated, allowing her temper to take over and say whatever came to mind.
But after she finished speaking, she regretted it once she calmed down.
This submissive attitude from Lady Li barely reduced Old Madame Li's anger toward her, "The Chu family's meaning is to find someone willing to wait until the Chu family's daughter turns eighteen to marry, regardless of status, as long as he has good character."
