Marquis of Ningyuan and Madam Ningyuan were also brimming with smiles, though the marriage arrangement with the Chief Minister Jiang's Family had been called off, the Shen family was still a decent prospect. Despite the Jiang Family's extensive wealth and influence, a daughter from the Jiang household inevitably required doting on, and one would need to revere her like a Bodhisattva upon marrying her.

Furthermore, fortunes can change in the blink of an eye; seeing the Jiang Family's recent streak of mishaps, it's uncertain how much longer they can remain prosperous. Should anything happen to Jiang Yuanbai, and Jiang Yuanping met with trouble, wouldn't the Jiang Family be like scattered monkeys once the tree has fallen? Whoever chose a Jiang daughter might actually be the unlucky one. The Shen family was different; it seemed that Lord Shen's future prospects were looking increasingly bright and enduring.
