In the Capital, daughters of the four great families were not for the average person to marry with confidence. Thus, most of them intermarried within these prominent families, but a few married into other wealthy and distinguished households.
But without exception, they were either taken as the wife of the eldest legitimate grandson or as the bride of the future head of the household.
After all, with the support of the four great families, their husbands could all become the future patriarchs.
But where is there a noble house without competition?
People like Chu Cimo, who had no thoughts of competing, were truly few and far between.
Once that happened, if the internal strife became too severe, therefore, families would either not marry at all or only marry a daughter from the four great families for their heir.
The Chus could only be considered the new elite of the Capital.
