Miss Chai wore a worried expression, "That's why I'm very anxious, but I can't find anyone to talk to, so I had to come to you, Aunt, to ask for your advice."
The Princess Consort of Luling said, "Do you want me to persuade your elder brother?"
Miss Chai forced a smile, "I'm afraid my older brother won't listen to reason. He's not worried that I won't get married; he's just trying to get back at someone, so he wants to marry me off to a very wealthy and noble family as soon as possible, and the sooner the better."
The Princess Consort of Luling shook her head, "This is a major life decision; how can it be handled so hastily? Your brother's approach is short-sighted."
Miss Chai sighed, "He's very stubborn, and rarely changes his mind once he's decided on something."
The Princess Consort of Luling thought for a moment, "How about pretending to be ill? If a girl is sick, the groom's family will surely give up, and your brother won't force you either."
