"Your Highness, this comes as quite a surprise," Jiang Hong started.
"It's not sudden at all. When Great General and First Lady was up in the Northern Territories, I had already spoken to the Old Madam Jiang about this. She just wanted to wait for your return to discuss the matter," Xiao Nanye explained.
"And now that both you and your wife are back, it's only fitting that I'm here to talk about this proposed marriage."
While Xiao Nanye spoke, his words were directed to Jiang Hong and his wife, but his eyes were irresistibly drawn towards Jiang Peihuan.
Jiang Hong was no fool; he noticed the attention on his daughter. Somehow, it confirmed his eldest son's words; one shouldn't judge a person solely by their appearance.
Clearing his throat, Jiang Hong shifted his attention to Jiang Peihuan, "Huan Er, please take your sister downstairs."
"Yes, Father." she replied.
