even though she had a liking for Xiao Qinghe, she could only give up on it.
Su Qingyue said, “If you like my fourth brother and you can be with him, I would be happy to see it happen.
How are you any different from Li Rong’er?
Now that the Xiao Family has split up, all the villagers know that I have not yet consummated my marriage with the Xiao Family’s three sons.
And my deed of sale has been torn up long ago; strictly speaking, I have nothing to do with the people of the Xiao Family anymore.
However, I’ve developed mutual affection with the third brother, and I’ve already agreed to marry him.
As for the fourth brother, given the current situation, he’s merely going to be my young uncle in the future.”
“Do you really like Xiao Yuchuan?” Tao Meijiao asked unbelievably.
She nodded her head.
Tao Meijiao couldn’t help but say, “But Master Chang has already announced to the people of the world that you are his fiancée…”
“I never agreed to be Chang Haotian’s fiancée,” Su Qingyue said, her expression icy as she brought up the matter, “It’s all Chang Haotian’s wishful thinking.
I’m not going to marry him.”
“But Chang Haotian is the owner of the world’s number one estate, a colossal wealthy power,” Tao Meijiao said.
Su Qingyue cut her off, “Stop singing his praises.
He’s just one person.
I don’t need his money.”
“I’m just afraid he won’t give up on you…”
Su Qingyue said, “When Master Chang let out that joke about wanting me as his bride-to-be, maybe he was joking.
Think about it, he only mentioned ‘Unnamed’ as his fiancée.
Although I’m ‘Unnamed,’ no one in the world has ever seen my true face.
That means Master Chang could make any woman ‘Unnamed’ if he wishes.
Moreover, since so much time has passed, if Chang Haotian really cared for me, he wouldn’t have failed to seek me out by now.
That can only mean he was jesting.”
“But still…” Tao Meijiao wanted to say more.
Su Qingyue said lightly, “Once I’ve set my mind on something, I won’t change it.”
Tao Meijiao glanced at Xiao Yuchuan, who was busily laying bricks in the yard, “I hope he knows how to treasure you.”
Su Qingyue led her to take a seat on the chairs, “Now, tell me about yourself, have you found a suitable young master lately?”
Sitting on the chair, she shook her head, “I’ve met quite a few young masters of equal social and economic status, but if they’re not pedantic scholars, then they’re nothing but hedonistic sons without substance.
Those who are somewhat promising and pleasing to the eyes refuse to come forward.
And those who are willing to make a move are all eyeing the wealth of the Tao Mansion…”
After a long litany of complaints, “Xiao Yue, you know I’m nineteen years old now, already an old spinster, and my father keeps saying that if we don’t welcome a son-in-law this year, he’ll be laughed at every time he steps out of the house.”
Su Qingyue smiled slightly and pointed towards the kitchen, “There’s a ready candidate over there.”
If a 19-year-old were in modern times, she would still be studying, but in ancient times, girls married early and were considered of marital age upon reaching adulthood at 15.
Ancient people valued male children over female children due to their emphasis on continuing the family line.
Ordinary women typically started getting married upon reaching adulthood.
Even girls from poor families often got married earlier; it was not unheard of for them to be wed by 13 or 14, go live with the husband’s family, and bear children after a couple of years.
Being nineteen or twenty without having married would definitely make one a bona fide spinster.
Tao Meijiao hesitated, “But you and your fourth brother…”

“There’s really nothing there,” Su Qingyue insisted, looking towards the kitchen, “In truth, in my heart, I’ve always regarded him as a younger brother.”
