Besides, in his heart, no one could ever compare to Su Mu.

Bai Qingyu lowered her long lashes, hiding her expression, and slowly headed towards the Bai Mansion.

"Eldest Young Lady, Fifth Brother said you were looking for me!" Bai Jinzhi saw her eldest sister playing with Kangle and Xile when she entered.

Seeing Bai Jinzhi coming over, Bai Qingyan instructed Nanny Tong and the wet nurse to take the two children away, then smiled and patted the spot beside her, saying to Bai Jinzhi, "Come and sit!"

Bai Jinzhi happily ran over, tugging at her neck as she spoke to Nanny Tong, "Don’t take Xile and Kangle too far, Nanny, because I want to play with them later!"

Nanny Tong responded with a smile, "I understand, Fourth Young Lady, they’re just in the side hall. You talk with the Eldest Young Lady first; the Little Princess and Little Prince need to be fed, too."

Watching Nanny Tong and the others leave, Bai Jinzhi obediently kneeled down in front of Bai Qingyan, her black and white eyes blinking as she looked at her eldest sister: "Eldest Young Lady, is there something you want me to do?"

"Eldest Young Lady has something to ask you... Now that Third Aunt is looking at young men of your age for you, intending to settle your marriage first, do you have anyone you’re fond of? Do tell your eldest sister..." Bai Qingyan quickly added, seeing Bai Jinzhi about to speak with wide eyes, "Think it through! If you say something, Eldest Sister might be able to persuade Third Aunt. If you don’t, when the parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words come, there won’t be room for regret."

"Eldest Sister, why are you going along with my mother and her nonsense!" Bai Jinzhi earnestly looked at Bai Qingyan, "We agreed before, we won’t marry anyone!"

"Back then, your brothers couldn’t return, and we needed the Bai family’s sons and daughters to uphold the family’s name. Now... you have the freedom to choose a husband you love to spend your life with. This matter, of course, needs consideration!" Bai Qingyan lightly tapped her fingers on the table, "Now that you are the King of Gaoyi, marrying won’t be considered entering another family. You won’t have to deal with the intrigues of a mother-in-law. You should think about it."

"But where is there a good young man willing to marry me, live in the prince’s residence with me, and be inferior to his wife?" Bai Jinzhi always felt that finding a husband was difficult, so she hadn’t thought about it much.

"What if both of you were officials in the same court? Little Fourth... Do you know your cousin in Uncle’s family, Dong Changqing, has a liking for you? Later on... he restrained himself because of your noble status and seeing you had no such intention towards him." Bai Qingyan mentioned Dong Qingping’s son, Dong Changqing.

Bai Jinzhi’s eyes widened at her eldest sister, her ears suddenly turning red. She knew her eldest sister never lied to her, but... but... Dong Changqing had never said anything!

"And there’s Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping. You treat them as buddies and brothers, but you’re a girl. Have you ever considered what they think of you?"

Bai Jinzhi quickly shook her head, even showing an expression as if she’d seen a ghost: "Eldest Sister, I simply don’t believe it. Lu Yuanpeng can’t seem to relax unless he spars with me every day, and Sima Ping talks to me in a way that makes me choke. They always look for chances to pick on me! If I hadn’t beaten them into submission, would they behave?"
