But it's a one-in-five probability!

The two widowed sisters-in-law were filled with envy.

A month ago, their father-in-law, Zhen Yi, spent 100,000 shi of grain and 10 million copper coins to arrange a marriage for his daughter, persuading the current Han emperor, the King of Yunzhong, to marry a daughter of the Zhen family.

Now that the great war is over, the prince will surely come to propose marriage, and the Zhen family will soon become relatives of the emperor!

The whole family was beaming with joy, but Zhen Mi was only smiling insincerely, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Yang Wei from Zhuojun had secretly pledged his life to her, saying that he would go to Youzhou to fight the enemy, make meritorious achievements, and then return to marry her.

But a month passed and there was still no news.

Did he kill the enemy and achieve merit, or did he achieve nothing, or has he already died on the battlefield?

Zhen Mi has been unable to sleep for the past month.

Now that he has heard his father say that the war in Youzhou is over, if Yang Wei is still alive, he will definitely come to Zhenjiazhuang to find her!

But their father then betrothed them to a Han prince he had never met before.

One is the one she loves, the other is someone she has no choice in.

Zhen Mi hoped that Yang Wei would secretly come to find her and then elope with her!

"Mi'er, what are you thinking about? Don't worry about that second young master of the Yuan family!"

"No matter how powerful the Yuan family is, can they be more powerful than the imperial family?"

"You can stay home in peace. Your father will set off for Ji County right now with generous gifts, so that you may become the princess consort and the daughter-in-law of the governor's family!"

Seeing that Zhen Mi seemed a little absent-minded, Zhen Yi comforted her.

In his opinion, the most beautiful of his five daughters was undoubtedly his youngest daughter, Zhen Mi, and the King of Yunzhong would surely fall for her.

As for Yuan Xi, the second young master of the Yuan family who came to Zhen Mi's door time and time again to ask for her hand in marriage, Zhen Yi naturally disagreed with the marriage.

Although he was a businessman, he also knew about some factions in the government and the public.

Yuan Shao and Liu Wei, the King of Yunzhong, were clearly not compatible.

If their daughter were to marry Liu Wei and then Yuan Shao's son, the Zhen family would be pleasing neither side. It would be better to unite them with one family.

The prince would be the first choice, of course!

As for Yang Wei of Zhuojun, who had previously helped the Zhen family avoid being robbed by the Black Mountain Army, Zhen Yi had long forgotten about him.

"That brat from the Yuan family still dares to come here? You should bring up the Han Dynasty prince to make him back down, understand?"

After giving a few instructions, Zhen Yi left with the large convoy.

This caravan contained the Zhen family's hidden treasures: 100,000 shi of grain, 20 million copper coins, and countless precious items.

Zhen Yi knew that Youzhou had just ended a war and was in dire need of reconstruction. Sending these things would surely be a timely help to Liu Wei.

All the gifts he sent were, of course, part of the dowry for the Zhen family's daughter!

After all, in ancient times, the size of a woman's dowry determined her future status in her husband's family.

In some places nowadays, women demand an exorbitant dowry of 388,000 yuan, only to receive three quilts as part of their dowry!

After Zhen Yi left, Madam Zhen, Zhen Yao, and the four elder sisters of the Zhen family were filled with anticipation and eagerly awaited the arrival of that wonderful day.

Zhen Mi, however, was absent-minded all day.

The next day.

Knock knock!

Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door of the Zhen family!

The servant rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door, only to see a tall, handsome, and dashing man standing before him.

However, his disheveled hair, loose breastplate, and faded long robe made him look as if he had experienced some hardships!

"Who...who are you? It's so early in the morning, can't a person get some sleep?"

The man looked up, grinned, and revealed a set of big white teeth!

"I am Yang Wei from Zhuojun!"
