The day was bathed in sunshine, spring blossoming in full splendor. The garden of Ma's Mansion was a riot of color with green willows mirrored in crimson, presenting a stunning scene.
Yueyao accompanied Mingzhu as they strolled through the garden.
Noticing Yueyao's peaceful and serene demeanor, Mingzhu said, "Yueyao, my cousin came to propose marriage, aren't you afraid at all?"
Yueyao uttered an "eh": "Why are we back to this topic again?"
Mingzhu swung Yueyao's arm and said, "Tell me, are you really not afraid? You don't know, when Marquis Weiyuan sent someone to propose marriage to General Zhao Yi's Wu family, seeking to secure General Zhao Yi's second legitimate daughter for my cousin, the U family's Second Young Lady became so frightened that she came down with a high fever overnight." She guessed that if she were in that position, she would probably be scared sick as well.
