"The Princess Zhaoming was stunned. So it wasn't a plea for an official post for the Zeng family? Instead, it seemed to be a proposal for Ning'an's hand in marriage?"

"Come to think of it, the Zeng family's move showed real sincerity. Since the young master of the Zeng family and Ning'an had grown up together, if they had directly sent a matchmaker to the door, it would have seemed like they were forcing a marriage. Even if the Rong family refused, it would have been bad for Ning'an's reputation. Sending a family member from the Zeng family to convey the message without making it too definite gave the Rong family room to maneuver. Only the two families would know about this matter, so there would be no harm to her reputation."

"Master Zeng Si lowered his head and smiled faintly. "Actually, in terms of family status, the Zeng family is not worthy of Ning'an. But my mother also said that Ning'an is a simple girl who grew up in the Zeng family. If she's not used to the wealth and prosperity in the capital, she can always go back to Nanling.""

"Hearing this, the Princess Zhaoming sighed inwardly. The old lady Zeng truly doted on Ning'an. Even after Ning'an had left the Shi family, she still worried about her and was afraid that she would marry into a bad family."
