"General Xie has agreed?"

"I agree, Mother. Don't worry, we've already discussed it. Xie Linzhou is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, he won't go back on his word."

Liu Yuelan's eyes instantly reddened, and she patted Song Ning's head: "Er Ya, Mother doesn't want you to wrong yourself."

"What are you saying, Mother? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would wrong myself? You don't know how many girls in the capital would do anything to get into the Duke's mansion. They all know it's a good family, but none of them got in. Instead, I succeeded."

"Do you really like General Xie?"

Song Ning paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I like it."

Liu Yuelan sighed, "Well, since you've made up your mind, your parents will respect it. As long as you're happy."

"Don't worry, I will definitely live a good life in the future."

That was settled, and Song Ning also sent a message to Xie Linzhou.

The Duke's mansion had already prepared the betrothal gifts and was just waiting for the appointed day to present them.

So, on the third day after receiving Song Ning's message, Princess Jianing and Xie Linzhou arrived with betrothal gifts.

Princess Jianing also invited a highly respected elder from the royal family, and her betrothal gifts were far more extravagant than those of others.

Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan were somewhat reserved. Although it was today that the betrothal ceremony was being held and they were the ones who should be putting on airs, they couldn't put on any airs at all.

Song Ning was worried that her parents would be nervous, and she originally wanted to go in and say something to help, but Xie Linzhou pulled her away.

“That’s their elders’ business, we don’t need to worry about it. This is my first time visiting since you moved in, so please show me around.”

Song Ning glanced inside with unease, but Xie Linzhou grabbed her and pulled her away.
