Lu Jingxing mused for a moment, then said, "Granting Ning Fang the title of Commandery Princess wouldn't be difficult."
Wanyun curtsied deeply and said, "Thank you for your immense grace, Your Majesty."
Lu Jingxing immediately added, "However, a fiefdom is out of the question."
Wanyun asked, "With the title of Commandery Princess, Madam Sheng will have to bow to Sister Xiao Fang, right? A Commandery Princess's rank is much higher than that of a merchant's wife, isn't it?"
Lu Jingxing chuckled. "You asked for a title for Ning Fang just so her mother-in-law would have to bow to her?"
Wanyun said, "Yes. You have no idea how vile Madam Sheng is. It was bad enough that the Sheng family hid things from Sister Xiao Fang, but Madam Sheng actually wants Sheng Xin to marry Yongjia and make Sister Xiao Fang a concubine!
