Li Wei looked at Mrs. Hong and said, "Mother, if you don't want me to marry Qingju, then you can stop dreaming of me becoming the wife of an official."
"Starting tomorrow, I won't go to school anymore. I'll just stay at home and do farm work, and I won't participate in the exams in two years either."
"Anyway, everything I do is for Qingju. Since you don't want me to marry her, why should I bother doing these meaningless things?"
"You—"
Mrs. Hong was furious but laughed instead, "Alright, you're truly my good son, to actually force your mother for the sake of an outsider!"
Li Wei smiled bitterly, "Mother, you were the one who forced me first!"
During this time, Shen Qingju didn't want to see him and refused to accept the things he sent.
Ever since he was a child, Shen Qingju was the only girl he liked, the only one he wanted to marry. He wasn't interested in any young ladies from noble or official families.
