Zhulan saw Lady Qi signaling with her eyes, motioning Qing Xue and the others to leave, "Speak."
Even after the maids left the room, Lady Qi still spoke softly, "A few days ago, I went to the palace to see Consort Ran. She asked me to bring you a message when I had the chance: Princess Aerola has inquired about your granddaughter."
Zhulan fiddled with her handkerchief, "Thank you."
"There's no need for formality between our two families. Speaking of which, the Grassland Tribe now only has the Marquis left, but that title is hollow, without any real power. Their thoughts are skewed now."
Lady Qi didn't elaborate further; she knew Zhulan understood that several Grassland Marquises were trying to establish themselves in the capital and avoid being consumed. Marriage alliances seemed the best course for them.
