The first watch of the night had arrived.

"Sigh..." With a sigh, Aunt Liu's voice became even lower, "Little Jing, I definitely wouldn't say this if it weren't for your own good."
"For my good?" Little Jing looked at Aunt Liu, puzzled, "You're saying this because you don't believe me, right? How could it possibly be for my good?"
"If I don't say it, you'll keep hesitating about not wanting to marry, and if you miss this opportunity, you'll surely regret it later. Little Jing, I really treat you like my own daughter; otherwise, why would I bother with such a thankless task? What benefit would it be to me?"
Little Jing remained silent, then after a long while, she smiled gratefully at Aunt Liu, "I know what to do now. After dinner, I'll talk to the old lady about this and ask her to make a decision for me."
"That's the right thing to do." Aunt Liu smiled reassuringly, "I've watched you grow up, silly child. In time, you'll understand."
