"Jiaojiao..." Chen Luo looked at Lin Jiaojiao somewhat fearfully, her face full of worry and anxiety.
She felt that Jiaojiao's words meant to ask the Zhu family not to marry the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, and then the Chen family wouldn't need to cancel the engagement.
As for the Zhu family, she didn't want to marry into it whether or not they married Zhang's legitimate daughter.
Lin Jiaojiao noticed Chen Luo's nervousness and gently patted her hand resting on her knee to soothe her.
The Zhu family must marry Zhang's legitimate daughter anyhow, so it was impossible for them to agree not to marry her or lie to temporarily appease the Chen family.
With her as the Regent King's Consort present, if any problems emerged in the Zhu family's plans, it would be considered deception in her and the Regent's eyes, which could result in serious consequences.
The Zhu family wouldn't be able to bear such consequences.
