Bai Shan stopped Bai Erlang, who still wanted to provoke Bai Dalang, and said to Bai Dalang, "Cousin, is this really your reason for rejecting marriage?"
Bai Dalang: "…Do you think my mother would believe it?"
Not just Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, even Manbao shook her head, "She definitely won't."
She said, "I talked to my dad and the others about it. My mom and my sister-in-law believed me, but my dad and my brothers didn't believe it at all. Especially my dad—he even secretly asked me whether my second aunt's family offended me somehow."
Bai Dalang said, "If I dare use such an excuse, my mom would think the same thing."
Manbao sighed, "See? Being smart isn't always easy."
Bai Shan chuckled for a while, then said to Bai Dalang, "This is simple. Just tell Uncle that you want to marry a young lady from an official family. It would help your career in politics in the future. You don't even need to say it yourself—Uncle will definitely convince Aunt on his own."
