Ning Yuchen feared that delays would bring complications, so he didn't dare to postpone any longer. After a full day of screening, he finally settled on a candidate.

Lady Yao just sat there, shedding tears, twisting a handkerchief around her fingers.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Let me finish." Ning Yuchen averted his gaze, not letting himself soften. "This Prefect Yin is no ordinary person. You must have heard about the marriage that's been the talk of the town recently! The one Marquis Cheng'en was granted is Prefect Yin's second daughter.
Think about it. He's related to the Empress by marriage. The Central Palace has two Princes. If you play your cards right in the future, you'll definitely be part of the royal family.
