Zhulan was relieved, she didn't see any unwillingness in the boy's eyes. When Yu Lu and Wong Wei met, Zhulan couldn't help but laugh; these two really did look like husband and wife.
The engagement was formally settled, with the wedding date set for after Yu Lu came of age.
The formal engagement took less than seven days, which was quite speedily done. Now that the two families were connected by marriage, the benefits were clear, and Zhou Shuren's official duties became even smoother.
It was only after another slip of the tongue by Lady Tao that Zhulan learned why, after their birthdays were found to be compatible, Lady Tao had taken such a special liking to Yu Lu and had been so exceptionally generous, offering two sets of jewelry as a meeting gift.
