"That won't do. Those girls from wealthy families without their mothers' guidance have a hard time. Moreover, that girl has a stepmother! How can she be of help to you?"
Mrs. Lv was somewhat displeased. Though the status was suitable for her Xiao Bao, she was unimpressed by the idea of someone living under a stepmother's thumb.
"Mother knows a lot, but where did you hear it from? That girl is virtuous and gentle and will surely be filial to you and Father in the future. Besides, her status isn't bad. If I weren't the teacher's disciple, it wouldn't be my turn to marry her!"
Gu Chengyu was surprised by Mrs. Lv's opposition and also by how well she seemed to know about Yao Mengxian.
Yet he hadn't mentioned anything to his mother before, only that the teacher had a granddaughter from the Duke Mansion.
In the past, they were unrelated people, meeting occasionally only due to the teacher.
