Just as Xiao Jing 'ai had said, her reputation was indeed better. With the title of Xingping County Lord and the emperor's personal coronation, she was always looked up to by others. Moreover, she was not young, and she should be at the age of marriage. If she was any later, she could not afford to delay it.
If she insisted on marrying Yang Shao, then she had to seize all the time. Otherwise, she could only listen to her parents 'orders and the matchmaker's words.
Although Madam Xiao was a stepwife, she was not a mean person. In addition, Xiao Jing 'ai's identity was different from before, so she should not be bad at discussing marriage. However, there was definitely a gap between her and the mother of the country she wanted to be.
However, seeing that she was willing to give up on an aristocratic family like the He family, it was obvious that she was determined to go all out.
If Xiao Jing 'ai still wanted to follow the old path, she should have made a move soon.
