Mrs Ning said eagerly, "Of course I want to hear the truth. Please tell me."
Lady Northern Feng cleared her throat. "Sweetheart, you know I always speak my mind and never sugarcoat things."
"Yes."
"I'm going to be straightforward with you, then."
"Sister-in-law, just say it," Mrs Ning urged her.
"I offered a marriage proposal to Xiao Wu on Ah Xun's behalf before you arrived."
"What?!" Mrs Ning almost jumped to her feet!
As Northern Feng General's only child, Feng Xun was the sole heir to Northern Feng Mansion. Could he take Feng Wu as his wife?
Lady Northern Feng asked, "Do you think that Xiao Wu would be marrying above her station?"
After some hesitation, Mrs Ning nodded. "After all, Xiao Wu can't cultivate anymore."
