Qian Ruyi is not her biological daughter, but she has fulfilled her duties as a mother over the years. There is indeed something strange about this matter. If it were up to her, she would not allow Ruyi to marry into the family. However, if she were to forcibly stop her, she might damage the already fragile mother-daughter relationship. Therefore, she handed over the decision to Mr. Qian.

"Ruyi, this matter isn't settled yet, but marriage is a major life event. Why don't we get engaged first, and then figure things out later?" Master Qian suggested tactfully.

"Father, Li Rouniang holds a grudge against Wu Lang because of Erni's matter, that's why she came here to frame him. Don't believe her!" Qian Ruyi said bitterly.

"What do you mean?" asked Master Qian, puzzled.

"I later heard from the steward that it was Wu Lang who brought Erni here. But Wu Lang meant well. Zhao Dahua was going to secretly sell Erni, but Wu Lang stopped her, thinking that Erni's family didn't want her anymore. That's why he brought her here, hoping to give the child a place to stay. He didn't expect to be misunderstood by that despicable Li Rouniang," Qian Ruyi said.

"Ruyi, are you confused? You actually believe this? You're going to marry someone like that? I don't agree to this!" Upon hearing this, Master Qian immediately understood and his impression of Wu Yong worsened. He was afraid that Wu Yong wasn't the one who saved people, but rather that he was the mastermind!

"Father, you believe others but not me? I'd rather die than not marry you!" Ruyi stubbornly insisted.

"Are you trying to anger your father to death?" Master Qian was furious!

"Father, I grew up in the countryside with Mother and we suffered a lot. After Mother died, I returned to Father's side. Although Mother treated me well, I always felt out of place. I want to have my own home." Ruyi began to appeal to his emotions.

"Daughter, you can't just marry anyone. Wu Yong is no good. I'll find you a better one later," Master Qian said earnestly.

"Father, I am already carrying Wu Lang's child. Who will you let me marry?" Qian Ruyi said through gritted teeth. The two had indeed been intimate, and a child would be born sooner or later. She was not lying to her father.

"You..." Master Qian was shocked, but finally relented.

However, Master Qian originally intended to pave the way for Wu Yong, but now that's been put on hold for the time being. He's thinking of observing Wu Yong first.

If a person's character is truly bad, it's better to keep him by your side. That way, your daughter can still be happy for the rest of her life. If a villain like Wu Yong were to rise to prominence, your entire family would likely be imprisoned. It must be said that Master Qian was quite good at judging people.

Regardless, the wedding of Miss Qian went ahead as planned the following day...
