Shen Huaixu's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Yi Qian with disbelief in his eyes.
She used to think that Yi Xi came from a scholarly family and must be old-fashioned and dogmatic at heart. Who knew that her behavior was so unconventional? If she told others about it, she would be unacceptable to the world.
Such a person, in such an era, can be said to be brave. She was shallow in the past.
However, she found it difficult to answer this question. After all, she knew very well who Yi Qian's favorite person was.
Chen Huaixu pondered for a long moment before answering, "Sister Yi, I really didn't expect you to tell me this. Truthfully, if I were in your shoes, I would stick to my heart's desire. Even if the person I love doesn't like me, I wouldn't marry off so easily—assuming my father and I give me the confidence. Nine out of ten women here wouldn't do that, and that's a conservative estimate. So, I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person."
Yi Qian seemed to be shocked. She stood there for a long while, then lowered her eyes, smiled bitterly, and murmured softly, "As expected of his daughter, she always leaves me speechless."
Her voice was so soft, almost inaudible, that Shen Huaixu had to pretend he didn't hear it.
If the person Yi Qian liked was not her father Chen Su, with her courage, she might have thought of matchmaking. Unfortunately, Chen Su's obsession for many years could not be easily changed, and could only be left to time.
Judging from the other party's implicit meaning, Yi Xi may have already expressed her feelings to Shen Su. No one knows when Shen Su will change his mind, not even Shen Su himself, so she guessed that Shen Su would definitely reject her mercilessly.
Although she admired Yi Xi, she could only pretend to be ignorant of everything and could not give Yi Xi hope, causing her to waste her time in vain.
Thinking of this, Shen Huaixu saw Yi Qian showing her a bright smile she had never seen before, "I understand, thank you, County Master."
Shen Huaixu's heart skipped a beat, and some bad thoughts suddenly came to her mind. She quickly said, "Sister Yi, you are a very good young lady. You deserve all the good things. You don't have to go down the same path until the end."
Yi Qian turned to look at her, curling the corners of her lips helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
