Jiang Yan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, she whispered, "Auntie told me the same, that if I wasn't willing, I should ask Seventh Sister for help. But... I think, after all, this is the royal rule, if we go against it, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to our family. Seventh Sister, don't take risks for me. I'm not exceptionally beautiful, and I might not even be chosen."
"In that case, you can participate as usual, I'll think of a way to get you not chosen." Jiang Ning said softly, "There are so many noble ladies participating in the selection, it doesn't matter if you are not chosen."
"Um, thank you, Seventh Sister."
"We're siblings, no need for formalities." Jiang Ning laughed, "Did Fifth Sister come back yet?"
"Yes, she did."
"How is her husband?"
"He seems well-behaved, and he speaks to Fifth Sister kindly. Fifth Sister seems lively, so I suppose they are harmonious."
