"Ning Yuting, watch your language," Xu Jian's face darkened as he looked at Ning Rongxuan and asked, "Elder Ning, does Ning Yuting's decision represent the stance of the Nings? If that's the case, I won't impose any longer."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Rongxuan replied, "Yu Ting is just confused for the moment; we will ensure she attends Pengfei's funeral on time tomorrow." Ning Rongxuan knew Xu Jian was right—in Wu State, the Xus could easily crush the Nings. Although the Yes were a prominent family from Capital City, their reach didn't extend to Wu State. The Xus were the real power in Wu State, so Ning Rongxuan dared not go against their wishes.
"Since Elder Ning has said as much, I can rest easy," the gloom on Xu Jian's face lifted, and after a pause, he added, "Elder Ning, there's another matter I'd like to discuss with you. My son, Xu Kai, is also of age to marry, and I think Min Yan would be a perfect match for him."
