Lei Jiuniang nodded, stood up, and said, "Aunt, I know what you want to ask, and I have already made up my mind."
She turned her head to look at Xia Jinheng, her eyes filled with boundless tenderness and appreciation. "Although he may seem to have nothing compared to the wealth of the Jin Family, I believe in myself, and I believe in his drive. Together, we won't have a bad life. Put it another way, even if we do, so what? I chose this man. He has no fear of gossip, he doesn't care that I'm a widow, and he is determined to protect me. That is enough. Love can sustain us, and besides, I, Lei Jiuniang, won't let our life turn out poorly. I have at least that much confidence."
She paused slightly. "Aunt, others might think I am bad luck, but to speak quite bluntly, a man passing away—what does that have to do with us women? Which woman would willingly lose her husband? You should understand, right?"
