Chapter 466 - 251 Distant News_1
Qian Yixiu went to visit Duo Duo in the main house. Duo Duo was still lying in bed, her eyes red and swollen from crying. She hadn’t touched a drop of water from morning until night.
Children of ancient times really were precocious, as the little Lolita seemed to be suffering from a broken heart.
Upon seeing Qian Yixiu arrive, Duo Duo pouted and called out, "Embroidered older sister..." Unable to control herself, her tears started to flow again.
Qian Yixiu didn’t know how to comfort her and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears. She said, "Duo Duo, please don’t be sad anymore. Sometimes what you lose isn’t your loss but theirs."
This phrase seemed to be quite popular in her previous life as a universal consolation.
"My grandma said that the young man was talented and handsome, with a good family background. Missing out on such a good match means I won’t likely encounter another," Duo Duo said before bursting into tears again.
Lady Xu, who was nearby, also cried, appearing even more distressed than Duo Duo. It seemed everyone in the main house had favored the match, which Lady Tang had disrupted; no wonder even Lady Wang, who was always dignified, couldn’t hold back her tears.
Qian Yixiu advised, "That’s not necessarily true; the world is very large. You’re still so young, just wait, and maybe you will come across someone even better. Look at Aunt Ting, she’s from such a good family, and she refused a marriage proposal, thinking she might find a better match..."
Qian Manting was a girl with aspirations. Hearing that a relative who was a fourth rank officer in the provincial city had sought her hand in marriage, she wasn’t interested. She believed that her cousin, Qian Manjiang, still had higher prospects, and she had the capital and possibility to marry into a true official family. This infuriated Qian Sigui and Lady Wong, but they were powerless against her.
