Lady Zhou had some reservations about Zhao Xiue, but upon hearing what she said, she still turned her head and gave Zhao Xiue a full look. After all, the importance of Lian Xiuxiu's marriage in Lady Zhou's heart almost surpassed all other matters.
"Nanny, isn't there a saying, 'A local despot is better than a distant king.' My uncle is going to Hejian Prefecture to become an official, while my aunt is still at home looking for a suitable match; the difference couldn't be greater," Zhao Xiue said animatedly as she approached Lady Zhou, "If we go to Hejian Prefecture, where my uncle holds office, he's the parent official there; everyone would have to respect and yield to us. The prestigious families there would open their doors for us to choose from. To put it bluntly, whoever we take a fancy to, we only need to send a message, and they would come knocking on our door eagerly asking for a marriage alliance."
