He spoke in a serious tone, prompting Mrs. Zheng to change her expression: "What is it?"
Pei Yuqing said softly, "I wish to expedite the wedding ceremony, and marry within three months."
... The room fell silent once more.
This time, it was a deathly quiet.
Mrs. Zheng was speechless, and Xie Shu didn't mention his daughter's shallow appreciation of mere appearance.
The couple exchanged glances and could see the alarm in each other's eyes.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at the trusted servants in the hall, then relaxed a bit, her gaze falling on her daughter's face. She said tenderly, "The wedding date is so urgent; is this decided by you both?"
The atmosphere changed dramatically, and Xie Wanqing noticed it. She nodded cautiously.
Pei Yuqing, not wanting the young girl to be questioned by her parents, proactively explained: "It's because I am not young, and my parents are anxious, so they wish to hasten the wedding... there is no other reason."
