After glancing briefly at her two half-sisters, she turned to Madam Ji and said, "Mother, now that this matter has happened, we have no choice but to accept the Wen Clan's Second Young Master's proposal."
Madam Ji's eyes turned cold upon hearing this.
After a brief silence, she said, "No. Even if I have to send the two of them to a monastery, I will not allow them to become that man's concubines."
Unable to understand her mother's decision, Second Young Lady Ji asked, "Mother, isn't marrying them into the Wen Clan a good decision? Once they join the Wen Clan, Father's position would become more secure."
Madam Ji said nothing at first. Then she turned to her personal servant and ordered, "Momo, have the two of them kneel in front of the ancestors. Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit them."
The old servant bowed and replied, "Yes, Madam."
Following her order, the momo signaled to the other servants. "Escort the two young ladies to the ancestral hall."
