Gu Ruinian said blandly, "I'm down on my luck now. You're the daughter of the village chief, and I don't dare to reach too high. You should go back."
Wu Na shed tears of grievance.
Ever since her family knew about her feelings for Gu Ruinian, Wu Ren and his wife had started to interfere strongly.
That year, her family had arranged many potential marriage partners for her.
Those her parents favored looked down on the Wu family's reputation and refused to marry into the Wu family.
Those willing to marry into the family were mostly trying to climb up due to Wu Ren being the village chief.
Additionally, Wu Na always had Gu Ruinian on her mind, so no suitable match was set.
"Brother Ruinian, your words are harsh. I'm the village chief's daughter, while you're a child student," Wu Na said.
Gu Ruinian was momentarily speechless.
If Wu Na didn't know that someone with a lame leg couldn't take the imperial exams, Gu Ruinian would have thought Wu Na was mocking him.
