"Sir, there is something you don't know."
Xu Shenzhi lowered his voice. "Rumors of a marriage alliance between the Wang Family and Luoyun Manor have been circulating for a while now. Not long ago, while you were in seclusion, sir, I happened to hear a bit of gossip.
That Wang Zilan... I'm afraid she's about to be formally engaged to Lu Maozhi of Luoyun Manor. If we wait until then, it will be a done deal, and I fear it will be..."
"Lu Maozhi? The one ranked last among the Ning'an Ten Heroes?" Chen Sheng's gaze sharpened.
"Yes, that's him."
Xu Shenzhi's expression was grave.
The title of Ning'an Ten Heroes was a golden seal of approval in Ning'an Prefecture, carrying immense influence.
He was worried that once the Wang and Lu families were joined by marriage, with the connection to Luoyun Manor and Lu Maozhi, forcing Wang Zilan to bow her head and admit her wrongs would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"I understand."
