Second Miss Cheng agreed but couldn't help spinning around with the box in her arms after returning to the room, telling her personal maid, "Today wasn't a wasted trip."
The maid laughed, "As long as Miss is happy."
Second Miss Cheng hugged the box and chuckled, "Of course I'm happy."
Chancellor Cheng didn't take these trivial matters to heart. He was quite open about his wife's concern over whether Bai Dalang intended to use their daughter to climb the social ladder.
"I've spoken with Bai Zhi. He's doing well in his studies, and his character is quite honest. Just as the matchmaker said, their Bai Family also comes from a line of nobility. In fact, if we trace back ancestors, they might be even stronger than us."
At least their ancestors are recorded in the Clan Record, while the Cheng Family hasn't even touched the threshold.
