“These young masters from noble families are trained from a young age, and they have the best resources in all aspects. There are quite a few outstanding ones,” Zhou Sifu added.
“Brother Lin must be under a lot of pressure. We need to think of a way to help him,” Zhou Wufu said, rubbing his cheek.
Just then, everyone heard heavy footsteps coming from the courtyard. When they turned around, they saw the very person they had been talking about, with a pretty little girl in his arms, falling heavily from the sky, deliberately making a heavy sound so that they would notice.

Chen Yueru wasn't ambitious; she didn't want to marry into a wealthy family. As long as the family was reasonably well-off and treated her well, that would be ideal.
