"Nothing can be hidden from the old lady; my niece has taken a liking to a girl from the Xiao family..."
"I heard you once sought the hand of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family from their clan leader?"
Mrs. Zhao... Who says those who are devoted to Buddha ignore worldly affairs?
She is very well-informed.
"At the time, there was such an intention, but later I found that the Third Young Master was too boisterous. His temperament might not match with the Xiao family's eldest daughter, so I gave up on that idea."
"Is Doctor Xiao's granddaughter a calm and composed person?"
"Indeed, but the girl is still in mourning, so please keep it confidential, old madam."
"I understand," the old lady sighed, "Since it's about Doctor Xiao, I will surely inform Lao Qi."
"Thank you, thank you very much, old madam."
Unexpectedly, it worked out!
Mrs. Zhao instantly felt very clever; seeking the old madam's help in a roundabout way was indeed the wisest decision.
