"Your other brother-in-law, Bai Yujing, has already passed the imperial examination at the young age of sixteen. If he can pass the examination again next spring, he will be a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) before he even reaches adulthood. There are very few like him in the entire Western Wei. Looking at his achievements, when will I be able to enjoy such a carefree life?"
Upon hearing this, the two brothers felt somewhat embarrassed and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Shuqin hurriedly pleaded for her two elder brothers.
“Father, although Bai Yujing is outstanding, he is not our family’s official son-in-law. He may not be able to take good care of the Jiang family in the future.

Throughout her words, she was trying to draw a clear line between Jiang Huaiyu and Bai Yujing.

Jiang Wenyuan was amused by the two people's support and beamed with joy.
He said, "I am old. The future of the Jiang family depends entirely on you. Come, let us father and son drink this cup together."
