Yuan Gui's intentions were so obvious that even Aunt Fang, Tao Hongdan, and the others, including Kang Shuxian herself, noticed them.
Tao Hongdan and the others hoped Kang Shuxian would find someone reliable. Yuan Gui was young, promising, the cousin of the county magistrate, of good character, and liked Kang Shuxian, making him an excellent choice.
Kang Shuxian was unaware, but she knew she wasn't entirely without feelings.
However, this feeling clashed with her resolve to remain single, making her feel somewhat ashamed—how could she, after vowing to depend on her sisters for life, be with another man?
When Tao Hongdan learned of this, she almost rolled her eyes, while Yuan Gui couldn't stay in Heichang County much longer.
He was there to fetch someone, and even though the Fang Family's parents understood and deliberately delayed him by two days, he couldn't afford to linger any longer.
After all, there were people anxiously awaiting them in the capital.
