How could the daughter of a butcher become a young lady of an official's family when she couldn't sit or stand properly and was such a rough, shameless rascal?
Wu Xin'an heard this, opened her big eyes wide, and pulled a gleaming butcher's knife from her waist. With a flick of her hand, it whistled through the air, its sharp tip sinking into the rosewood table. The handle continued to quiver.
"Why can't I? I'm doing a fine job, aren't I? Everyone up and down the household gives me a thumbs-up and says I'm great. Don't you agree?"
The members of the Wu family all stared at the trembling knife handle and nodded repeatedly.
"The eldest young lady is right!"
"Elder Sister is absolutely right!"
"The eldest young lady is completely right. Couldn't be more right!"
Matchmaker: "Well... Lord Pei is a fine young man, handsome, powerful, and with everything going for him. All the noble young ladies in the capital would be delighted to marry him. He could even become a prince consort. Why not choose a young lady from another family?"
Pei He slowly shook his head.
"No. I'll marry a young lady of the Wu family!"
"Well... The Wu family's second young lady is as beautiful as a flower, and the third young lady is learned and proper. Why not choose one of them?"
Pei He lowered his head and looked at his hands resting on his knees. His fingers were long, his skin fair. He unconsciously flexed his fingers, then firmly shook his head.
"No. I'll marry the eldest young lady of the Wu family..."
This is a story about a man and a woman falling for each other and becoming a couple!
