"Aunt Ling Xiu, is there anything else?"
Ji Ruyan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.
Ling Xiu looked extremely anxious, "Seventh Imperial Concubine, I beg you, the Empress Dowager didn't actually want this, it's just that the Du Clan is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. If we cannot produce an Empress, once our master is gone, the entire Du Clan will decline among the aristocracy. Such a situation is definitely not what our master wants to see. The master wants to propose a marriage for Miss Xuexue to our future family head of the Du Clan, who is fifteen this year, named Du Jingxu. He is the top scholar of both civil and military exams this year. Honestly, I really don't think the master has any intention of wronging Miss Xuexue."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyan looked at the Empress Dowager, who had fainted, without saying a word.
However, using her sister as a bargaining chip, she still couldn't accept it.
