Lady Qian clutched her daughter tightly to her bosom with a heart full of distress, soothing her in a soft voice, "Wei'er, do not grieve. Mother knows everything. You are my beloved darling, and it is absolute folly to think I would ever marry you off casually. Least of all to someone like Qian Mofeng. Mother will definitely choose a husband for you who excels in every possible way."
Lady Qian coaxed Shen Wei'er for quite a while longer. Eventually, Shen Wei'er finally stopped crying. She raised her tear-blurred eyes to look at Lady Qian and said, "Mother, then let us have Cousin Mofeng leave. If he continues to stay in our household, I fear it will damage my reputation."
Lady Qian thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "You heard what Shen Yiru said right before she left just now. The servants outside have already caught wind of it. Your cousin must take Shen Yiru as his bride so that we need not fear anyone spreading malicious gossip and tarnishing your reputation."
