Mrs. Shi's words left Mrs. Miao momentarily stunned in place.
Old Mrs. Xia was taken aback and glanced over at Mrs. Zhen, who slightly shook her head, indicating she was unaware.
"Madam, do you mean..." Mrs. Miao forced herself to remain calm, her feet feeling as if they were nailed to the ground, her smile carrying a hint of uncertainty.
Mrs. Shi's smile grew even more pleasant as she said, "Yun Ying has come of age; I just wanted to ask if any proposals have been made for her yet. If not, I might be able to make some inquiries."
Mrs. Miao's eyes suddenly widened, hearing her own heartbeat pounding.
This mix of tension and excitement was even more intense than when she was younger and involved in proposals herself.
Du Yunying's marriage had been a lingering worry for Mrs. Miao. Last year, it wasn't as urgent; when marrying off a daughter, one should choose carefully and not hastily settle, for if she ends up suffering later, it would be too late for regrets.
