Minister Liu lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Zhou, what private matter have you come to discuss with me?"
Manbao pondered for a moment and felt that no matter how she tried to circle around it, this wasn't something easy to ask indirectly, so she simply came straight out with it, "Minister Liu, yesterday we had a drinking feast at home, and Madam Minister also came. She brought up the matter of Liu Huan and my third niece again. I'd like to know what you think about it."
Minister Liu was taken aback. He hadn't expected it to be this. With this kind of thing, once people had already gone to the girl's home to propose, that naturally meant the elders in the family were in favor.
What was there to ask?
The shrewd Minister Liu answered cautiously, "I'm very fond of your Third Lady. I've heard she studies diligently, does well in her work, and is very gifted. I'm only afraid that Lord Zhou doesn't think much of our Liu Huan."
