When the sun rose in the sky the next morning, marking the beginning of a new dawn, an unexpected visitor showed up at the Li Family's manor.
Li Xueyue had just finished breakfast when she received word of the visitor.
"Ning Huabing?" Duchess Wang Qixing had said, astonished by her visit. "Isn't that Marquis Ning's daughter?"
Duke Li Shenyang nodded. "He's a prominent member of the Courts."
"Well, I don't see a reason to keep her outside waiting. Let her in," Duchess Wang Qixing instructed the servant.
Duchess Wang Qixing took a glance towards her aloof son who was reading a book at the breakfast table, even though she precisely told him books weren't allowed at this time.
Li Chenyang could feel the pressing stare of his mother. "I'm too young for marriage," was the only thing he said whilst flipping to the other page.
"W-what?" Duchess Wang Qixing awkwardly laughed, "Marriage? Psh, I didn't even think of it."
