Xu Lejin and Xie, mother and daughter, talked on and on.
Finally, Madam Xie got up to take her leave. After thinking for a while, Xu Lejin said in a deep voice, "Mother, although my eldest brother is born out of wedlock, he is still Father's eldest son. Mother should still send someone to inquire about my sister-in-law's character."
“Zhen’er is still young and has many years to go before he grows up. Father is not capable enough, and Mother is getting older. The Xu Mu’er family still needs a capable male member. Eldest brother is a bit ambitious and needs a smart and wise sister-in-law to keep him in check.”

"If possible, follow the clues to find out who Juxiang and Xu'er's masters are, and who placed them as spies around me."
Ru Hua replied respectfully, "Yes, this servant will instruct Xiao Luzi as soon as possible."
