In the evening, Zhulan spoke to Zhou Shuren about Yu Jiao's matter, "Do you think Consort Liu has a screw loose, truly believing that once our family and the Shangguan family meet the Emperor, the engagement will be directly settled?"
Zhou Shuren, fanning himself with a fan, said, "Consort Liu wouldn't dare make any big moves, either. After following the Emperor for so many years, she understands his temper well. If it causes a huge commotion that becomes public knowledge, Consort Liu fears she won't be able to control the situation and will be completely despised by the Emperor. It's better to choose two influential families."
Zhulan wanted to roll her eyes. It seemed that the Zhou and Shangguan families had become the top picks. "Do you think Consort Liu's scheming will succeed?"
