"I want to make it clear with you now. After you divorce her, Wan Qing can only be a concubine. She can't become the official wife. If she becomes the official wife, won't we become the laughingstock of everyone? Do you understand?" Chen Qian's mother anxiously reminded her son.
"Mother, of course I know. Wan Qing is illiterate and unsophisticated, she can't be the official wife. During my recent trip to the provincial capital, I met a lady whose father is a Capital Official. If I can marry her, our family will rise in status. I had a good rapport with her brother, and she said she would like to marry a top scholar. I'll strive hard to become a top scholar, and then it won't be difficult to marry her," Chen Qian said confidently.
