Cui Ming said, "Even good advice can't persuade a doomed soul."
Qin Yuan said nothing, hurrying toward the front courtyard to greet Qin Jijiu and the others.
She hadn't reached the front courtyard when a servant came up to her, saying, "Madam, the Marquis has invited the in-laws to wait in the front hall."
Qin Yuan then hurried to the front hall.
Before she even entered, she heard Qin Jijiu's hearty laughter from afar.
Hong Ye said, "It seems the master and the Marquis are enjoying their conversation, Miss, you needn't worry."
Qin Yuan slowed her steps, saying, "Father is quite pleased with the Marquis as a son-in-law; even if the Marquis runs out of topics, Father would never let the conversation stall. With Qin Heng and cousin Si Yuan here as well, all the more so."
Cui Ming said, "That's true, since cousin is here, Sixth Master Gu should be present too."
