"It's nothing," Zu An thought to himself, since he had just promised her, it wouldn't be good to say something that would damage her reputation.
"Really? Why did she act so strangely towards you today?" Zheng Dan asked, puzzled.
"She's never really liked me, maybe she's a little unhappy about our relationship," Zuan explained with a smile.
"Oh dear, you've made me so ashamed that I can't face anyone in the Sang family anymore." Zheng Dan was extremely embarrassed.
“Actually, you don’t need to feel so guilty. Maybe they’ve already tacitly approved of our relationship,” Zuan said meaningfully.

King Qi frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Zhi'er, your answer disappoints me greatly. At this point, you're only concerned with women?"
Zhao Zhi was startled, but he wasn't stupid and immediately realized: "Could it be related to the imperial envoy this time?"
King Qi nodded: "That's right. Your trip to Yunzhong County to propose marriage is just a pretext. In reality, you have another mission. When the time comes, you will do this and that..."
