"Qing Dai, you are not like Lianxin. Lianxin was sold into the mansion at a young age, all alone, with no attachments. Your parents are both in Duke Zhen's Mansion; if you follow me in marriage in the future, will you be willing to leave them? I believe your mother also thinks the same, wanting to keep you by her side. Wang Rui's son is currently working under Steward Tian in the mansion; he's quite clever and will soon be able to take charge independently. Being a steward is also within reach."
Yao Mengxian noticed Qing Dai's face looked displeased, and with a sigh, she continued to persuade: "We've been mistress and servant for many years. Would I ever harm you? I must find a satisfactory match for you. If you are agreeable, once we return to the mansion, I'll ask Wang Rui's family to bring their son over for you to meet."
