Li Xiang privately urged his Little Aunt to keep it a secret. He told her not to let it slip, especially not to his older aunts or his grandmother.
His grandmother was soft-hearted, and if his older aunts came to cause a scene, she would inevitably come and plead on their behalf.
In reality, his Little Aunt was a very shrewd woman. Even if Li Xiang hadn't urged her, she wouldn't have gone around spreading gossip.
When Grandma learned of her Little Aunt's "romance," she was quite pleased and told her to bring him home for a visit during the New Year.
His cousin's wedding was also fast approaching. Li Xiang joked that his Little Aunt and his cousin could hold a joint ceremony. A mother and son getting married on the same day would make for a wonderful story.
