Mrs. Wang, upon hearing this, did not doubt but exclaimed repeatedly, "So that's why, no wonder the children born to my cousins always died young..."
She didn't use her own knowledge to question Zhao Hanzhang because she believed her daughter to be the most capable and learned person in the world. Since she said so, it must be the truth.
She also didn't ask why they couldn't choose the daughters of Wang Kuang or Xiahou Ren, but Zhao Hanzhang explained briefly in a low voice, "Wang Kuang and Xiahou Ren each represent the noble families that moved southward and those that stayed in the north. I may use them, but I don't want them involved in the power of the Imperial Family, so they're not suitable."
Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang was willing to explain, Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment before asking softly, "Then is General Beigong's daughter suitable? I heard that you rely heavily on him, and he holds significant military power. If he were to marry Erlang, wouldn't you suspect Erlang?"
