"Shirou, you are already twenty this year. Other young ladies have long since married and had children. You cannot keep delaying this any longer."
As Lady You spoke, she could not help but take out her handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Do not blame your mother for being heartless. Mother is doing this out of concern for you. Your father and I are still here now, and we can still protect you. But when we are gone, what will you do?"
Seeing her mother in such distress, Zheng Shirou felt as though her heart were being pierced by needles. Yet, she truly did not want to attend the Flower Viewing Banquet to be scrutinized, and she wanted to marry even less. All this time, Brother Mufan was the only person she had ever wanted to marry. She bit her lip hard, struggling to keep from crying out loud.
