Madam Li was also a woman of action, “I will send an invitation to Madam Su tomorrow to see if she’s available. If so, you can accompany me to pay her a visit.”

Daohua nodded but appeared a bit hesitant, “Mother, do you think the Su Family will agree?”

Madam Li also lacked confidence, “Let’s feel them out first.”

Mulling it over, Daohua would be very happy to have Su Shiyu as her sister-in-law; for one, her fourth brother liked her, and for another, the two had known each other for many years and understood each other well, forming a certain emotional foundation. This was much better than a marriage completely arranged for family interests, a blind and mute matrimony.

After thinking it through, Daohua spoke, “Mother, our family still seems too low in status in the eyes of an aristocratic family like the Su Family. Which girl doesn’t want to marry into a higher status? Madam Su might not be willing, but I have a strategy that could possibly increase her fondness for fourth brother.”

Madam Li also wished to facilitate this marriage and quickly asked, “What strategy?”

Daohua said, “…you tell Madam Su that unless Sister Su remains childless until thirty, fourth brother will absolutely not take a concubine.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Li was stunned.

Seeing that Madam Li did not immediately object, Daohua continued, “Mother, if Sister Su really does marry into our family, she will be marrying down. Our family must show some sincerity, right? Otherwise, with so many prestigious clans, why would the Su Family choose ours?”

“Of course, we’ll need to inform fourth brother in advance since it’s his marital affairs to prevent future trouble. Men, well, they’re all lovey-dovey at the beginning, but as time goes by, they tend to grow fickle and start flirting around.”

“Smack!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Daohua’s head was smacked by Madam Li.

With an accusing look, Daohua gazed at Madam Li, “Mother, I’m helping you come up with ideas!”

Madam Li glared, “Tell me, what kind of talk is that for a young lady like you?”

Daohua pouted and muttered, “I’m telling the truth.”

Madam Li felt somewhat helpless; she didn’t know who her daughter took after, always saying such astonishing things, and, worst of all, she was often right, leaving her no room to refute. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

Daohua leaned closer again, “Mother, what do you think about my strategy?”

Madam Li glanced at her obliquely, “Your strategy is a good one, it’s just that… it’s somewhat unfair to your fourth brother.”

Not taking a concubine—that alone, once word got out, would have people breaking down their family’s door, those who truly cherished their daughters.

Daohua smirked, “He’s the one who’s eagerly pursuing Sister Su; naturally, he has to offer something. Besides, if he truly likes Sister Su, how could he have eyes for other girls?”

Madam Li looked at Daohua speechlessly, “Just look at you, anyone who didn’t know better would think Miss Su is your sister instead of him. You don’t even seem to feel sorry for your fourth brother.”

Daohua retorted, “Mother, I’m doing this for fourth brother’s own good. Look, with this approach, maybe Madam Su will overlook our family’s status and agree to an alliance with us. Then won’t fourth brother have won his beauty?”

“Furthermore, without the trouble of concubines, the family can live in harmony, how nice is that? With fourth brother’s abilities and Sister Su’s virtue, if they work together, couldn’t they lead a prosperous life?”

Madam Li took these words to heart. In the past few years, she had her grievances against the master of the house because of Mistress Lin; if not for their three children, she wouldn’t have wanted to manage the affairs of the Yan Family any longer.

Looking back now, she realized it indeed wasn’t conducive to the family’s prosperity.

Seeing her daughter still looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes, Madam Li made a shooing gesture, “Alright, I’ve got it. Go rest.”
