The matter was settled quickly, and word spread just as fast through the Capital City: the Xie family had actually agreed to a marriage alliance with the Lu family.
Shen Ningning went to the National Academy to attend the graduation banquet.
Everyone who saw her said, "Congratulations, Princess, truly, congratulations!"
Meng Wanning even made a point to approach Shen Ningning.
"Princess, how… how did you come to favor my second uncle?" Her eyes were full of gossipy curiosity.
With many of their classmates around, Shen Ningning maintained a dignified yet distant smile.
"What's so wrong with him that would make Miss Meng speak of him that way?"
Her words turned the question right back at her. Meng Wanning's smile stiffened. "Princess, please don't misunderstand. I was only joking."
Ye Shangyi and Qi Xiuwei stood protectively by Shen Ningning.
Ever since the Matchmaker Festival, Meng Wanning had been sensible enough not to bother Xu Jingxi anymore.
