"Me?"
Nie Zhijing's eyes glinted.
"If the family agrees, then I'll marry him. It's not like I... dislike him or anything."
"In your wildest dreams!"
Nie Lingshan pouted.
Even if the family might agree to her and Lingxi marrying him together, they would never allow Nie Zhijing to marry Chen Sheng.
She, at least, was not bound by any marriage contract. But Nie Zhijing... her potential engagement to the Second Prince was practically an open secret among the Nie Family's upper echelons.
Although the Emperor had not issued a formal decree, his intentions were clear. How could the Nie Family dare to break the agreement?
Even if the imperial family was showing signs of decline, they were still the rulers of the Twelve Provinces.
Their authority was so immense that no Noble Family would dare challenge them head-on.
"Second Miss."
A maidservant reported softly from downstairs:
"There's a Young Master Ouyang Ke outside who wishes to see you."
"I won't see him."
