Tian Shanshan listened to her parents’ argument with a cold expression on her face. After a moment, she spoke in a cold tone, “Father, there’s 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 Tian’s eyes lit up. “Yes, you’re right! It’s 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 couldn’t help but interject, “Yes, Shanshan, you have so many eligible suitors among the noble 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 isn’t worthy of you!”
Tian Shanshan couldn’t 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 one’s soul.
He was aware of her noble background, yet he remained composed and graceful, neither servile nor arrogant. It ignited a desire within her to conquer him.
She couldn’t accept it.
Why did he look down on her?
The more she dwelled on this, the more her thoughts spiraled. She couldn’t stop herself.
If only he weren’t 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 don’t marry him, we’ll be the laughingstock of the capital! He has to marry me!” Tian Shanshan asserted firmly.
“We can’t afford to be humiliated,” Officer Tian sighed, sharing a glance with Madame Tian.
The Tian family couldn’t 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 won’t 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 noble ladies in the capital. She couldn’t 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 husband’s bright future as a first-class official. With the support of her father, brothers, cousins, and noble concubine, accomplishing this would be a straightforward task.
