Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1372 - 1370: The Young Lady Is in High Demand

Until Master Gui left, Wufu still couldn’t figure out his intentions. She was somewhat perplexed, but Madam Zhou was very excited and explained it to her, which made her somewhat understand.

Is Master Gui interested in her?

"Mother, you must be overthinking. We’re just business partners and friends," Wufu said with a mixture of amusement and frustration.

"Silly child, I have experience in these matters, how could I overthink? That Young Master Han might have feelings for you. You’re grown now, having admirers is quite normal!" Madam Zhou looked at her daughter, who was blossoming beautifully, feeling increasingly pleased as she spoke. "But, that young Master Han said he’s from Duke Shun’s Mansion? Sounds like a very prestigious family."

Duke Shun’s Mansion?

Wufu’s mind quickly recalled that Duke Shun of Nanyue seemed to have the surname Han, so she said, "Mother, Duke Shun’s Mansion is one of the noble families in Nanyue."

Upon hearing that the other party was of noble birth, Madam Zhou’s eyes widened, no wonder that Young Master Han had such an extraordinary demeanor.

But then she thought about their own family, as it is said that high-born marry daughters, and low-born marry wives, their own family background was indeed too low, somewhat unmatched!

If only her daughter also had a good background, that would be wonderful!

Madam Zhou’s emotions were all expressed on her face. Wufu saw her mother’s obscure look and knew what she was thinking, so she said, "Mother, look at the well-raised daughter you have. Even as someone from a humble background, she can catch the noble young master’s eye! You won’t have to worry about your daughter not finding a good son-in-law in the future, right?"

This indeed redirected Madam Zhou’s thoughts, who playfully scolded, "Look at you and your vanity. What do you mean by that? I think this Young Master Han is really good-looking and well-mannered!"

"Mother, I just see him as an older brother! Let’s not talk about this matter for now!" Wufu quickly replied.

Madam Zhou frowned, "You’re already of marriageable age, and you’ll be sixteen after the new year. It’s high time to be engaged..."

"Mother, I just remembered I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be chatting with you. I’ll go handle them first!" Afraid of being urged into marriage, Wufu quickly stood up, gave a slight curtsy, and fled.

"Hey, you girl..." Madam Zhou reached out her hand but saw her running away quickly. She couldn’t help but complain to Qiu Xiang beside her, "Look at this, every time we mention her marriage, she escapes! She’s going to become an old maid!"

Qiu Xiang covered her mouth and laughed, "Madam, the girl has just reached the age of marriage, how could she be an old maid?"

"Girls should marry right after reaching the age. And even after getting married, it’s not completed all at once. You still have to meet and consider, and once people are decided, you’ll have to go through the Liu Li process—this can’t be done easily within one or two years!"

Madam Zhou said, "Right now is the time to meet potential matches, but unfortunately, I don’t know many people here."

Previously in Huayang, she didn’t know many people, just Madam Ping and Madam Ma, but now that she’s newly arrived, she hasn’t even left the door, where would she know people?

Qiu Xiang said, "Madam doesn’t need to know many people now. Our young lady’s prospects are quite good now. Moreover, she has a family background, and she’s naturally good-looking. Once the news is spread, why worry about no one coming to inquire?"

Madam Zhou thought carefully about it and agreed, "That’s true."

"So, Madam, you don’t need to worry. I’m afraid your eyes will be dazzled with choices at that time."

Madam Zhou imagined that scene with anticipation and thought of the Young Master Han who came today. He was truly good, both in appearance and family. She wondered what her daughter’s thoughts were!

As they say, when a girl has her own strong opinions, there are downsides too. At least for marriage matters, as parents, they can’t firmly make the decision for her.
