Lan Zhi suddenly threw down her embroidery hoop, hugged Gu Fei, and started crying nonstop. "Little Fei, do you think I'm a burden? Do you not want me anymore?"
Gu Fei felt a headache coming on. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How could I ever not want you?"
"I was just thinking that you're grown up now and will have to get married sooner or later."
"It's just that this Mr. Xu isn't sincere. He only wants to take you as a concubine, and I'm not happy about that."
"But if you're willing, I won't stand in your way."
She patted Lan Zhi's back. "If you don't think much of Mr. Xu, I can have someone take their time and look around for you. Finding a handsome, good-tempered Scholar would be fine too."
"How does that sound?"
Lan Zhi just kept shaking her head, sobbing so hard she couldn't speak.
A thought struck Gu Fei. "Well then, what do you think of my second brother?"
Lan Zhi wiped away her tears, tilted her face up to Gu Fei, and nodded.
