Meng Tianhe was slightly stunned. "The magistrate's nephew?"
Prefect Cao was the highest-ranking official in You State, practically a local emperor. The Meng Family was well aware of his family background.
He only had an elder sister, so where did this nephew come from?
Prefect Cao turned around and said, "Xiao'er, come and meet the second and third masters of the Meng Family."
A burly man with a braided hairstyle and pronounced features strode out from the back of the crowd.
At a glance, it was clear he wasn't from the Central Plains.
Meng Tianhe boldly inquired, "Sir, if I may ask... which nephew of yours is this?"
Prefect Cao, exuding authority, replied, "He is the son of my close friend. Why? Are you trying to say that my nephew is not worthy of marrying a daughter from the Meng Family? In the end, no matter how wealthy your Meng Family is, you're just lowly merchants. It's your fortune that I'm willing to lower myself for you."
