Hua Yan looked at Xiaojin for a moment; Xiaojin hadn't noticed someone was approaching, so she diverted her gaze towards An Shiliu.
An Shiliu's dark face, watching Xiaojin, was unusually serious, without a hint of his usual playfulness.
After observing An Shiliu for a moment, Hua Yan said in a low voice, "Shiliu, you've only met Xiaojin once, do you really want to marry her? You also heard what Granny said earlier, she shares blood with Jing Jia'an of the Royal Family of Nanjiang."
An Shiliu nodded, "Young Master, this lady is quite remarkable."
Hua Yan nodded, "She is indeed remarkable. I'll talk with her in a while, and I might tell her about Jing Jia'an's death. If she can accept it, that would make things easier for you. If she can't, marrying her will likely be troublesome. Moreover, we from the Hua Family of Lin'an must treat each other with sincerity before and after marriage, so you'll also need to reveal your identity to her. If she doesn't accept you..."
