Wang Chengyu is the legitimate eldest son born to Ms. Chen, and although he is only sixteen this year, he has already earned the title of Scholar.
It is precisely because he is so outstanding that Ms. Chen does not want to arrange his marriage so early, planning to reconsider after he competes in next year's examinations, where, should he achieve the status of scholar, higher marriage prospects could be sought.
However, contrary to her desires, the Old Lady believes in reinforcing alliances through marital ties, and there is no girl more to her liking than Ye Xia; thus, she seizes every opportunity to match them, waiting only for Wang Chengyu to develop feelings for Ye Xia, which would make it difficult for Ms. Chen, as his mother, to object.
Although her husband currently supports Ms. Chen for the sake of their son's future, who knows how long he can withstand the Old Lady's relentless persuasion? He might change his mind any day under her influence.
