"How dare she!"
"What is so good about Mu Jinyuan, anyway? She caused such a massive disaster, yet everyone is still speaking up for her at every turn! I have never received such treatment in this household! If I’m even a quarter of an hour late for my morning greetings, Mother punishes me. And they all knew I didn’t want to marry the Marquis Wuping, yet they just stood by and watched as Mother shoved me toward him? My heart belongs to Xie Shaoqin. Someone like Xiao Fu, a mere savage, isn't worthy of him at all. Why did no one ever think of me for such a good marriage?"
"They talk about us all being one family, where honor and disgrace are shared, but when have they ever truly treated us like family? With my brothers about to place high in the imperial examinations, I absolutely cannot let Mu Jinyuan ruin their future. If my brothers don't have a bright future, how could Prince An ever look at me twice? I refuse to marry the Marquis Wuping—that old, reckless man!"
