Moreover, his heart already belonged to another: "I appreciate the Minister's consideration, but I have no immediate intention of marrying," he said.
Prime Minister Ye admired Fang Tuo, finding this young man to be a promising talent with both good looks and character.
It was just that he was too poor.
His daughter had always been pampered at home, and he didn't really wish for her to marry Fang Tuo and live a life of poverty. His face showed no change in expression upon hearing this; he simply nodded slightly, "It is proper for a man to have such thoughts."
Behind the screen, Lady Ye's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but in the end, she said nothing.
She merely waved her hand, signaling Shaohua to leave first.
