"But your parents' love for you is genuine, so asking them to stand up for you is the best way."

“Yes, Shu’er, the Fourth Prince is already old and still has children. Are you going to marry him and become a stepmother? If you ask me, we should go back to Anzhou Prefecture now and ask your parents to make the decision. I don’t believe they can still marry you off to the Fourth Prince’s mansion.”

She was very close to Chen Shu and knew Chen's parents well, knowing that they would never marry their daughter to the Fourth Prince.

Since it wasn't Chen Fangdao and the Xie couple's fault, the one who did this absurd thing must be someone from the Chen family in the capital.

How shameless! A powerful family would sell its daughter for personal gain.

Feng Yue felt utterly disdainful and thought she would take her girlfriends back to Anzhou Prefecture right now.

Chen Shu was momentarily dazed. "Should we go back now? But what if my parents can't persuade my grandfather and the others?"

This possibility brought tears to Chen Shu's eyes.

Filial piety is a huge burden on everyone's head. Even parents can't go against their grandfather's wishes, can they?

Feng Yue was at a loss for what to do. She was extremely worried about her friend and subconsciously wanted to seek help from Gu An'an, "Sister Gu, can you help me think of a solution?"

"There is a way." Gu An'an coughed lightly, and noticing that her friends were all looking at her, she softened her tone, "Perhaps we can have your brother step in."

"He feels sorry for you, and might help you reject this marriage proposal."

The author says:

Chen Yuan: You only think of me when you have a problem. Am I someone who solves troubles?

Chen Shu: Otherwise, what use is a brother like you!
