Lady Zhao could only return, crestfallen.
Since the marriage was not to be, Madam Ping naturally had to inform the Marchioness, Lady Bai. She wasn't worried about her mother-in-law, Lady Bai, at all. As long as she mentioned that their eight characters did not match and they counteracted each other, she knew that her mother-in-law wouldn't utter half a word of objection with her understanding of the woman.
When Lady Bai heard that the high monk's divination showed that Mingzhu and Ning Lixuan were mutually counteracting and that if they were to become husband and wife, it would surely lead to marital discord and an unsettled household, she immediately abandoned the idea of this marriage alliance.
After Madam Ping dealt with her mother-in-law, Lady Bai, and was about to leave, she looked at Zhao Yuner, smiled, and then went out.
