บท 1350: Marriage

Qiao Xuan had a sudden realization that Zhao Shu was no longer a young man. If Madame Zheng were still alive, she might have already arranged a marriage for him, possibly even two years earlier.

Shuixiu, hailing from the Jiangnan Mountains, was a striking beauty, and Zhao Shu, with his wealth and good looks, must have caught the attention of several families. It seemed likely that he had resolved his personal matters and was pursuing a romantic relationship. This assumption was further supported by Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing's cautious demeanor.

Besides personal affairs, what else could be too delicate to discuss openly?

Since Zhao Shu was absent, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn't prolong their visit. They agreed to visit the flower fields the following day, bidding farewell for the time being.

During their journey on the wagon, Qiao Xuan nestled against Shao Yunduan's shoulder and shared her conjectures.
