Originally, they weren't this bold, but with a young lady from the Wang Family among them, the others felt emboldened.
The Wang Family is the fastest-rising aristocratic family in the Da Xia Dynasty, with one Grand Marshal, one Chief of Staff, and one Mighty General in the court within a decade. Several others are below the fifth rank. They've far surpassed other aristocratic families like the established Gusu Family, which has only produced one scholar in twenty years, and he's a sickly man. They have more daughters and hope to strengthen their family through marriage alliances, but good families look down on them. Not being a top-tier aristocratic family themselves, the Gusu daughters also look down on others, leading to a situation where they can't marry up or down, causing the family to gradually decline.
