Old Du's face turned pale instantly, feeling that Prince Ning was showing him far too little respect. After all, he had been by Prince Ning's side the longest and had more opportunities to offer him advice than others.
Prince Ning: Heh, who are you? Why should I give you face?
"I have two candidates in mind: one is my maternal cousin, and the other is Lord Fu's son. Lord Fu's sister is my maternal aunt." Seemingly worried that Mr. Qiu might not know who Lord Fu was, Prince Ning deliberately added a sentence of explanation.
Mr. Qiu chuckled lightly: "Your Highness, I am well aware of the circumstances of these two individuals. However, I feel that neither of them is suitable; rather, the second young master of the Ren family would be a better fit."
“The second young master of the Ren family?” Prince Ning frowned. “In terms of family background, their family is far inferior to the Ming’an Marquis’s family, the maternal family of Princess Chen. This is probably not appropriate.”
Mr. Qiu shook his fan and said, “In my opinion, this marriage is the most suitable one. The Ren family is not very prominent now, but as long as His Highness is willing to help them, they will surely rise to prominence one day. Moreover, the Ren family has a good family tradition; men rarely take concubines, and even if they do, they are never favored exclusively. This marriage not only requires the Marquis's consent but also the consent of the Marquis's wife. And what a woman needs most is her husband's affection. Considering all this, what is unsuitable about the Ren family?”
Prince Ning slammed his fist on the table and immediately decided to act as matchmaker for the two families, and then personally go to their homes to propose marriage.
The girl sitting opposite Lu Qingyan couldn't help but sneeze, wondering who was talking about her.
"Third Prince," she called out, lowering her head shyly, "Han'er knows that it's not proper to ask you out, but Han'er really feels indignant on behalf of my sister."
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow, knowing what she was referring to—Feng Changgui's elopement. However, she said, "Second Miss, this matter has nothing to do with me. Why are you specifically targeting me?"
Could it be that they think I have a good relationship with Feng Changgui, so they know his whereabouts?
What kind of logic is this? To outsiders, he and Feng Changgui do seem to have a good relationship, but they haven't actually spent much time together. Why should she have such a firm grip on Feng Changgui's whereabouts? She's not someone else's spies.
Lu Qingyan's lips twitched: "Second Miss, men and women should not touch each other. I did not intend to come to see you. I just happened to run into you at the manor. You stopped me from leaving, so I sat with you."
"Han'er knows that doing this is against the rules, but Han'er can't think of any better way. Han'er knows that Your Highness and Prince Chen have a close relationship, so I wanted to ask."
Looking at her beautiful face, Lu Qingyan curled her lips in sarcasm: "If I knew where he was, do you think it would be your turn to ask me? Father and the Marquis would be the first to know."
Han'er's expression changed, and she bit her lower lip tightly: "It was Han'er who overstepped her bounds."
Lu Qingyan held her head, feeling a headache coming on. Even if she was stupid, she could clearly see what this woman meant.
If she really came to ask about something, why didn't she refer to herself as "Han'er" instead of "your humble servant"? Why didn't she ask someone else, but instead asked "Feng Qingqing"?
Lu Qingyan touched her delicate face, surprised that it was actually quite attractive.
Thinking about getting married in two months, Lu Qingyan's expression worsened.
