The Meng Family and Yan Family have been family friends for generations. The eldest son, Yan Nanxiao, of the main branch married Lady Meng Shujing from the Meng Family, and they had three daughters. Yan Nanxiao was the only son of the main branch, and the grand lady constantly nagged about having a grandson. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't get along, so to secure her position, Meng Shujing thought of marrying her daughter's family into the Yan Family, naturally eyeing the most outstanding Yan Song of this generation.
Lady Meng naturally agreed. Comparing Yan Ke and Yan Song, it was clear the promising Yan Song was more appealing. In reality, personal preferences seemed less important in the face of family alliances.
Yan Ke found these women very amusing. His brother was like a coveted gem, with countless families in the Capital City eyeing him hungrily, eager to pounce for a piece.
