Pei Houli received Lady Fang’s letter and promptly began to arrange the viewing. The next day, news arrived that they were coming to the family home for viewing, asking Lady Fang and Pei Qin to prepare.

Lady Fang also worked through the night to finish Pei Qin’s new cotton-padded coat and trousers, a peach-red fine cotton cloth, and embroidered some falling petals along the collar and hem with some silk thread left over from before.

After trying on the new clothes, Pei Qin declared them good before attempting to take them off.

"Qinqin! Just keep them on! You’re of age now, and it’s time to discuss marriage," Lady Fang lovingly stretched out her hand to stroke Pei Qin’s head. "I’m not capable of much, and I’ve even held you back. This young man from the town is not bad, his family situation is passable, and I’ve invited them to view you."

"View..." Pei Qin’s mouth twitched again and again. Seeing Lady Fang’s apologetic and compassionate eyes, the words of refusal that had reached her lips were swallowed back down.

Lady Fang noticed her mouth twitch but didn’t say anything, and touched her from head to toe again, "The soles of your shoes are still not well sewn; I’ll make you a new pair of cotton boots later!"

Seeing her eyes brimming with tears, Pei Qin didn’t say anything and just sat quietly at home, waiting to be viewed.

In the morning, Pei Houli arrived on time with the viewers, calling for Pei Qin to come to the old house.

Lady Fang and Pei Qin came over, with Si Ya following behind to watch the event, leaving San Ya and Pei Wendong at home to watch the door.

Once inside, they found that Pei Wenli had indeed returned.

Pei Houli smiled and beckoned Lady Fang and Pei Qin into the house.
