Lin Xingyi did not deny her statement, but the problem was not at all where she claimed it to be.
Struggling with the issue internally and unsure of what to do, after some thought, he simply said, "I think we still need to take a second look at that illegitimate son from the Hu Family. Right now, there are plenty of prodigals pretending to be scholars, and passing the imperial examination to become a Juren is not such a big deal. Let's wait and see."
Madam Lin disagreed, "I know you don't think much of a Juren, but do you think everyone is like you? Wait and see, wait and see, by the time others participate in the imperial examination and rank as a Top Scholar, they will no longer consider Youyou. Isn't this precisely to ensure Youyou's well-being that I have timed this discussion of marriage? If they care about their son's future, they will certainly agree to this marriage."
