"By the way, now that you've finished your mourning period, you're twenty-five years old and probably already have several children. It's time to start planning your marriage."
Liu Jiangqing didn't know what to do. He knew his mother well enough to talk to him, but he didn't know if she would agree to marry the girl next door.
Liu Jiangqing felt a little troubled and said, "Mother, I'm not in a hurry."
"You're not in a hurry, but I am! I'm still waiting to hold my grandson!"
Liu Jiangqing was speechless. Indeed, he was not young anymore, and it was understandable that his mother was anxious.
Liu Jiangqing thought for a moment, then decided to talk to his mother about it. He didn't want to let the girl he was attracted to slip away without even trying.
After dinner, Liu Jiangqing went to see his mother and told her his thoughts. As he expected, his mother's first reaction was to disagree.
Liu Jiangqing was somewhat disappointed, but still wanted to give it a try.
"Mother, your son is indeed fond of Miss Wu."
"Marriage is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. Since Miss Wu has managed to build her business to such an extent, do you think you can control her? Take my advice and forget about it."
Liu Jiangqing: "Mother, your son does not want to suppress others. Your son is getting married because he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and support each other. Your son does not think that it is good to find a wife who listens to him in everything."
His mother was displeased with what her son said and sent him home.

What are your thoughts?
Liu Jiangqing's father naturally wanted to know what his wife was thinking.
"Of course I don't want to, but I don't want to see my son suffer such heartbreak."
Liu Jiangqing's father thought for a moment and said, "We'll send someone to inquire about this Miss Wu next door. If she's a good person, we'll settle down with her. Besides, judging from the series of policies the Emperor has issued, the status of merchants is rising, and so is the status of women. Since that girl is a shrewd businesswoman, she must be a down-to-earth and understanding woman. If we can really make it work, having a capable wife will surely ensure that our son will be well-off in the future."
When Liu Jiangqing's father said that, Liu Jiangqing's mother naturally had no objection. Before going to sleep, she thought that she would send someone to inquire about the martial arts girl who had captivated her son the next day.
