Chapter 730: Chapter 730 Warning Chapter 730: Chapter 730 Warning I can keep a secret for Second Sister.
But before that, Su Yunjin felt it was necessary to caution her Second Sister, lest her Second Sister be dazzled by Young Master Wu’s sweet nothings.
If Young Master Wu were to cajole her Second Sister into losing her body, regret would come too late. After all, this is ancient times, and Su Yunjin knows how important a woman’s chastity is in ancient times.
Although Su Yunjin is from the modern era and doesn’t think it’s that crucial, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and act according to the local customs.
One must be vigilant not to let Second Sister suffer any disadvantages. Su Yunjin, very cautiously and with a serious expression, admonished Su Ningxiu, “Second Sister, you and Young Master Wu haven’t truly come together yet, nor have you married. Moreover, you have only recently become acquainted with Young Master Wu and there’s much you don’t know about him. I can keep this a secret for you and not tell our parents, but you must also promise me not to act foolishly.”
Su Ningxiu was not a child of mere years and understood the folly Su Yunjin spoke of. As an unmarried woman, Su Ningxiu’s face flushed with heat.
“Little sister, don’t worry! Second Sister knows where to draw the line,” Su Ningxiu said, perhaps out of shyness, she dared not meet Su Yunjin’s gaze and subconsciously lowered her head.
It’s only by looking at the two feet on the ground that Su Ningxiu could feel slightly less embarrassed. For the sake of her Second Sister’s future, Su Yunjin knew her Second Sister was shy.
Still, she continued, “Second Sister, after all, your relationship with Young Master Wu is not yet proper or official. You should see him less in private. If Young Master Wu truly has sincere intentions and wants to marry you, let him send a matchmaker to our family to propose. If our parents see that Young Master Wu sincerely wishes to marry you, they will certainly not object.”
Since Young Master Wu is a local and presumably has a substantial family wealth, he would certainly not be rejected if he personally sent someone to the Su Family to ask for Second Sister’s hand in marriage, given Mrs. Shen’s and Su Zhongshi’s honest and straightforward natures.
Furthermore, this was actually a method Su Yunjin had devised to test whether Young Master Wu was truly sincere–if he dared bring a matchmaker to formally propose marriage.
At the very least, it would prove Young Master Wu’s sincerity towards her Second Sister. However, if Young Master Wu hemmed and hawed after hearing this suggestion, it would be clear that his intentions towards her Second Sister would likely be the same as Fan Wenxuan’s towards Su Xiaofu.
Nothing more than prey in their eyes! Before they’ve had their way, they may treat them as treasures, but once they have succeeded, they become worthless.
Su Yunjin still hoped that her Second Sister wouldn’t ruin her own life.
Su Ningxiu did like Young Master Wu and genuinely wished to marry him. Having heard Su Yunjin’s earnest words, Su Ningxiu found them reasonable.
As things stood, her relationship with Young Master Wu was neither proper nor official, and being seen together too frequently would not only harm her reputation but also Young Master Wu’s.
If things went as her little sister suggested and Young Master Wu brought a matchmaker to propose, then she and Young Master Wu could be together in an officially recognized relationship.
In that case, even if she were to go out with Young Master Wu occasionally, others wouldn’t gossip. After all, there is nothing abnormal about an engaged couple talking together, as long as they don’t act inappropriately.
“Little sister, I have taken to heart what you’ve said. I will urge Young Master Wu to propose to our family as soon as possible,” Su Ningxiu nodded, her demeanor showing how seriously she took the matter.
Su Yunjin could see that Su Ningxiu had taken her words to heart.
