"I'll never agree to this marriage! Jing is two months younger than me. Making me call him 'Brother-in-law'? Over my dead body."
"I don't agree, and Yao'an won't either. Neither of us brothers will approve, so Jing can forget about setting foot in our house!"
Chen Wanqing covered her ears, looking pained. "Were you reincarnated from a sparrow? You're so loud."
Chen De'an let out an aggrieved whimper.
"I knew it. You've always liked Jing more than me. When he sheds a tear, you feel sorry for him, but when I cry, you say I was reincarnated from a sparrow. Oh, good heavens! Why don't you just make Jing our blood brother? That way, he wouldn't have to marry my sister."
The look on Chen Wanqing's face was beyond exasperation and speechlessness.
'With a brother this dramatic, why is he even bothering with the imperial examinations? He should just join an opera troupe.'
But he was her own flesh and blood, so she had to placate him.
