So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Lei Tingyi looked at his mother with a calm and firm expression, and his eyes revealed an unshakable determination.

"Mother, it is precisely because marriage is a serious matter that I cannot marry Sister Lingxi. Although she and I have a sister-brother relationship, we are not husband and wife. As for Jiuan, she was born in Juling City. Maybe the Ling family is not as prominent as the Yu family in the eyes of the world, but Jiuan is Jiuan. She has her own unique charm and value, no worse than anyone else."

The clan leader's wife listened to her son's words with a frown on her face, obviously not buying into his remarks.

She believes that marriage is not just a matter between two people, but also a marriage between two families, which concerns the future and status of the family.

"Yier, do you know the meaning behind marriage? It is not just the union of two people, but also the alliance between two families. Lingxi comes from a famous family, and she is a good match for you, which will be of great benefit to the future of the family. And what can Jiuan bring to you?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in the tone of the clan leader's wife.

Lei Tingyi took a deep breath and tried to make his mother understand his position.

"Mother, I know you are considering the interests of the family, but marriage should be based on love and respect. Although Jiuan is not from a high family, she has an indomitable will and a pure and kind heart. She is the one I have chosen, and the one I am willing to protect for the rest of my life."

The clan leader's wife looked at her son's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

She knew that her son always had his own opinions and choices, and she had never seen him take a relationship so seriously.

"Yier, I hope you can reconsider it. Marriage is a serious matter and it is not a joke. But if you really want Jiuan, I am willing to give you a chance to let her prove her worth."

There was a hint of compromise and temptation in the tone of the clan leader's wife.

Lei Tingyi felt a little relieved when he heard this.

He knew that although his mother was stubborn, she was also a reasonable person.

As long as Jiuan can show her excellence and uniqueness, I believe her mother will accept her.

"Thank you, mother. I will get Jiuan ready to meet you."

There was a hint of gratitude and determination in Lei Tingyi's voice.

He knew that this battle over marriage was far from over, but he and Jiuan would definitely work together to strive for their own happiness.

The Sect Leader's wife spoke in a serious tone, as if she was weighing some internal considerations.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for her. I just want to see with my own eyes what's so special about this girl that you're so obsessed with."

Lei Tingyi spoke lightly, his tone revealing his firm trust in Jiuan.

"Mother, you can't embarrass her. Jiuan is not one of those spoiled young ladies. She is tough and tenacious, and has her own principles and positions. I believe that no matter what you ask, she can deal with it in her own way."

When the Sect Master's wife heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect that her son's opinion of the girl was so high, even exceeding her approval of Yu Lingxi.

This made her curious about the girl named Jiuan.

"Yier, since you trust her so much, I feel relieved. However, I still want to remind you that marriage is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. Since you have chosen her, you must be responsible for her and for the family."

The clan leader's wife's tone revealed a hint of motherly concern and worry.

Lei Tingyi nodded, knowing full well the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

He is not only responsible for Jiuan, but also for the future of the family.

Therefore, he became more determined in his choice and believed that Jiuan was the person with whom he could spend his life.

"Mother, I understand what you mean. I will take this relationship seriously and work hard to make the family more prosperous because of my choice."

There was a firmness and confidence in Lei Tingyi's voice.

The clan leader's wife looked at him, her eyes revealing a complex emotion.

She knew that her son had grown up and had his own opinions and choices.

Although she still had some doubts about Jiuan, she also believed in her son's vision and judgment.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news then."

The clan leader's wife finally compromised. She decided to give her son a chance, and also give the girl named Jiuan a chance.

Lei Tingyi felt grateful when he heard this.

When Sect Master Lei heard that his wife had returned, he hurried over.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw his wife talking to Lei Tingyi, and her expression seemed a little solemn.

"Madam, are you back? You must have had a hard time on the trip to the south."

Master Lei's voice was gentle and concerned. He walked quickly to his wife and held her hand.

The lady looked at Master Lei with a hint of fatigue on her face, but more of it was the joy of seeing her husband.

"Well, I'm back. This trip to the south did have some twists and turns, but fortunately everything went well."

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Lei nodded, then looked at Lei Tingyi.

"Yier, your mother just came back, why are you letting her stand and talk? Quick, help your mother sit down."

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi hurried forward, held his mother's arm, and led her to sit on the stone bench next to them.

Then he poured another cup of tea for his mother and handed it to her.

"Mother, please have tea."

Lei Tingyi's voice was gentle and respectful.

The lady took the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Sect Master Lei.

"Master, I came back this time because I have something I want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei's expression froze. He knew that his wife would never make trouble out of nothing. Since she said she had something to discuss, it must be a big deal.

"Ma'am, please go ahead."

Sect Leader Lei's voice was steady and serious.

The lady looked at Lei Tingyi, then spoke slowly.

"It's about Yi'er's marriage. I heard that he likes a daughter from a small family named Jiu'an. I think we should meet her and see if she is suitable to be the daughter-in-law of our family."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Lei frowned slightly.

He looked at Lei Tingyi, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

However, Lei Tingyi's eyes were firm and calm, as if he had already made up his mind.

"Yier, is this true?"

There was a hint of temptation and inquiry in Sect Leader Lei's voice.

Lei Tingyi nodded without hiding anything.

"Yes, father. I do like Jiuan. She is the one I have chosen."

Sect Leader Lei was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Since you have made up your mind, let's arrange it and let us meet Jiuan. However, marriage is a big matter and it concerns the future of the family. We must consider it carefully."

The lady felt relieved when she heard this.

She knew that although Sect Master Lei was usually strict with Lei Tingyi, he would still respect his son's choice when it came to marriage.
