Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Tian Shanshan listened to her parents argument with a cold expression on her face. After a moment, she spoke in a cold tone, Father, theres a solution to every problem. Primus Shao is not married, and this is all a misunderstanding! If he comes forward and clarifies the situation, everything will be resolved.

Officer Tian and Madame Tian were taken aback by her words.

Madame Tians eyes lit up. Yes, youre right! Its just a baseless rumor. Once Primus Shao sets the record straight, the rumor will be dispelled. I believe someone must be envious of Primus Shao and spreading false information.

Officer Tian furrowed his brow and spoke in a deep voice, Shanshan, do you truly wish to marry Primus Shao?

His question surprised Madame Tian as well. She couldnt help but interject, Yes, Shanshan, you have so many eligible suitors among the n.o.ble young masters in the capital. You can have your pick! Primus Shao is from a small town and lacks the qualifications to be compared to them. He simply isnt worthy of you!

Tian Shanshan couldnt help but recall the events of that day. The pear blossoms, pure and white, danced in the air, and the young man stood before her in his simple green attire. Yet, there was an unmatched elegance and an aura that captivated her. His eyes, like precious black gems, were clear and radiant, seemingly capable of ensnaring ones soul.

He was aware of her n.o.ble background, yet he remained composed and graceful, neither servile nor arrogant. It ignited a desire within her to conquer him.

She couldnt accept it.

Why did he look down on her?

The more she dwelled on this, the more her thoughts spiraled. She couldnt stop herself.

If only he werent the Primus, it would have been fine. But he was!

When she received the news, she was overjoyed.

This man was fated to belong to her!

Dad, Mom, if I dont marry him, well be the laughingstock of the capital! He has to marry me! Tian Shanshan a.s.serted firmly.

We cant afford to be humiliated, Officer Tian sighed, sharing a glance with Madame Tian.

The Tian family couldnt bear the shame!

Both parents regretted allowing their daughter to have her way without knowing whom she had set her sights on. They should have discreetly investigated her interests and resolved the matter privately. That way, everything would have proceeded smoothly, and everyone would have been content. But their daughter had always been intelligent and reliable, earning their trust.

Yet, this time, something went terribly wrong.

It was an enormous mistake.

The couple felt utterly helpless.

Dad, Mom, please trust me. I am going to marry Primus Shao. I promise he wont disappoint you, Tian Shanshan pleaded, rising from her seat and respectfully addressing her parents.

Her words infused Madame Tian and Officer Tian with renewed determination and confidence.

Tian Shanshan bid her parents farewell and made her way back to her residence.

During the journey, she remained silent, her head bowed.

Fu followed behind her, maintaining complete silence out of caution.

She was resolute in her decision to marry him. She had not only fallen in love with him, but she also refused to endure such humiliation.

As the direct daughter of the Minister of Personnel, she was one of the most remarkable n.o.ble ladies in the capital. She couldnt bear such disgrace when it came to marriage. How would she face society in the future?

She would become the wife of the Primus, ensuring her husbands bright future as a first-cla.s.s official. With the support of her father, brothers, cousins, and n.o.ble concubine, accomplis.h.i.+ng this would be a straightforward task.
