Chapter 22: Do Not Discuss Marriage Proposals_1

"Mother, I don't want to discuss marriage!"

As Li Xiu'e was speaking, the door to the main room was pushed open from the outside, and Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan, the brother and sister duo, returned home from school and happened to hear her words outside.

Su Ziqin, also known as Sister Qiao, showed her displeasure when she heard about discussing marriage, "I want to take the entrance exam to the Imperial Academy and become a Female Official."

"Is there any girl who doesn't discuss marriage?"

Li Xiu'e instantly became unhappy as her voice raised an octave, "Going to school and discussing marriage aren't conflicting, why don't we settle the marriage first? Then after passing the exam and becoming a Female Official, we will proceed with the wedding, what's wrong with that?"

"It's not as simple as you think. Once a woman is engaged, she is tied down. Which in-law family would be so easy to persuade, letting us decide when to hold the wedding?"
