"Hmph!" Ms. Ni snorted coldly, finally feeling a bit of satisfaction.
Wan Lifang hurriedly pleaded with Ms. Ni, "Mother, your son has an important matter and needs your help."
Ms. Ni glanced at him sidelong: "What is it?"
Wan Lifang chuckled and said, "Gu Dafu's family has been delaying agreement to the marriage, probably fearing that Gu Yumei will be mistreated by her mother-in-law after marrying into our family. Why not come with me and father to meet Gu Dafu? Seeing how kind and amiable you are, Gu Dafu will surely agree to the marriage right away."
"What? You want your mother to grovel and humbly ask the Gu Family to consent to the marriage?" Ms. Ni's eyebrows slanted in anger as she rebuked, "I am a scholar's wife, a noble wife, and you expect me to plead with a common peasant? Absolutely not!"
What's Gu Dafu but a mere farmer, worth her visit?
