The Ma matriarch is the grandmother of Ma Chengting, an elderly lady richly dressed and radiating authority. She appears outwardly benevolent but her scrutinizing gaze carries pride. She recalls glimpsing Li Shu two years ago and finding her unsuitable as a daughter-in-law due to her poor appearance and behavior. She summons Li Shu to arrange a marriage with a centurion grandson who has a divorced previous wife. She claims her father frequently visited the Ma household complaining about delays, and she wants to give a solution to avoid further accusations.
