Jiang Baoshu and Song Jingman both set their hearts on marrying Prince Kang.
But, such thoughts dared not be confided to their families.
Mrs. Xiao Zhang no longer wished to rely on Jiang Baoshu to climb the ladder of wealth and honor. She desired stability and intended for Jiang Baoshu to marry a reputable scholar. Then, with the Jiang family's support, they could help the son-in-law to pass the imperial examination and embark on an official career.
Especially after Wu Lan's husband became an Advanced Scholar, Mrs. Xiao Zhang's intentions became even clearer.
Yet Jiang Baoshu was not pleased.
In Song Jingman's case, the Song Family had already arranged a marriage for her, so naturally, she dared not say anything.
Both were anxiously beside themselves.
But as young ladies of the inner court, they had no knowledge of the past dynasty's affairs and could only worry helplessly.
