Brother Cheng's face darkened upon hearing this: "It's definitely not an issue for Brother to be among the top three in the Imperial Examination, but earning merits that would make the Emperor decree a marriage—that's really tough."
Probably an entire lifetime wouldn't suffice for such a great achievement, and then Brother would remain a bachelor for life?
Gu Jinli: "So, this isn't something we can help with, and based on Brother's personality, he wouldn't want us to interfere."
Brother originally just wanted to secretly admire Third Miss's affections, but we guessed his intentions, and he's already quite frustrated; if we dared to do something, Brother would definitely explode in anger.
"However, as Brother's siblings, we can't just do nothing; we should indeed help Brother out."
Brother Cheng listened with delight and asked, "How can we help? Second Sister, please tell."
