Lord Dingguo's sudden change of topic left Madam Guan momentarily stunned; how did the An Yang Marquis Mansion come up all of a sudden? Wasn't that the Empress's maiden family?
"Why did you bring up the Empress's family?" Madam Guan envisioned a young girl, saying, "The legitimate daughter of the second Master Gongsun, I've seen her in the Empress's palace. She hasn't come of age yet, but she's quite a lovely and charming young girl."
"What do you think about proposing her for our Yi son?"
Madam Guan's pupils constricted as she looked into her husband's eyes, asking if he was serious.
She tried to detect any hint of jest in his eyes but found none. His eyes were entirely serious, indicating deep thought rather than a mere spur of the moment decision.
