Madam Sun brought up Zhao Erya and Gao Yishui to Yu Xiaolian, and Yu Xiaolian, according to Zhao Erya's wishes, rejected Gao Yishui.
Madam Sun knew about Zhao Erya's unfortunate past, but one can't remain unmarried just because of that. Even widowed women can remarry; how could a young woman in her prime spend her entire life alone?
Madam Sun urged Yu Xiaolian to counsel Zhao Erya so she wouldn't end up in a hopeless situation.
Yu Xiaolian whispered to Madam Sun about Zhao Erya possibly having someone she was fond of. She suspected the most likely person was Sun Mancang, the grandson of Fifth Master Sun, because the grandsons of Fourth Master Sun had all married over the past year, except for Sun Mancang. Moreover, Sun Mancang was the one Zhao Erya interacted with the most.
Madam Sun laughed. As long as there was someone she fancied, that was good—better than spending life alone.
