Yuexi didn't speak, but just stared at her mother. Madam Li knew that the eldest daughter wasn't someone who liked to overthink things, but the younger daughter was different. Despite her seemingly innocent and unassuming nature, she could figure out everything in her mind.

Madam Li said, "Madam Li wants to betroth our Yuexi to their young master Xu Di."

The two girls looked at each other after hearing this. Madam Li said, "I was quite surprised when I found out. After all, the Xu family comes from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, a true noble family. But Lord Xu told Madam Xu that he has taken a liking to our Yuexi and plans to come and propose marriage after the New Year."

Yuexi's face immediately turned red. Yuelin said happily, "It's Young Master Xu Di! Young Master Xu Di is a capable man. He's good at farming and also studies well. I heard from his Ninth Miss that he's already a student of the Imperial Academy and will be able to go back to take the imperial examinations for the title of Xiucai and Juren in two years."

Yuexi blushed and said, "Mother, isn't it inappropriate for us to be trying to climb the social ladder like this?"

Madam Li, unusually serious, said, "Yuexi, you've always been a thoughtful child. While marriage is about matching social status, it also depends on the woman's ability to manage the household and support her husband. Since Madam Xu and Lord Xu both think highly of you, you must have proven yourself worthy of their approval. Your father, Lord Xu, Madam Xu, and I will handle the rest. Don't worry about anything else."

Li Yuexi blushed and said, "But my sister's marriage hasn't been settled yet."

Madam Li smiled and said, "It's just an engagement, not a wedding. What's there to be afraid of? Your father and I already know what's going on with your sister's marriage, so don't worry about it."

Mrs. Li told her two children to tidy their clothes before going to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Looking at her younger sister, Li Yuelin was overjoyed and said, "I think the eldest young master of the Xu family is a really, really good person. My sister will definitely have a good life in the future."

Li Yuexi blushed and said, "Sister, how can you tease your little sister like that? Oh dear, I still have some things to tidy up in the backyard. I'll go and tidy them up right now."
