Learning that Wu Yan and Jiang Tao had come to propose marriage, all the Chu family members who could return did so, filling the house with lively activity.
Li Qingyu brought out the family's fruits and snacks to entertain the guests, showing warmth and thorough hospitality.
After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.
Wu Yan signaled Jiang Tao, who promptly said, "Uncle, Aunt, our main purpose today is to propose marriage between Qingning and our family's Zhaozong…"
He spoke at length before handing a list of betrothal gifts to Chu Rong, followed by presenting a box and giving over one thousand silver coins as betrothal money.
"Uncle, these are our betrothal gifts. If there are no issues, shall we set a date for their marriage?"
Chu Rong examined the list carefully, surprised by the generous offerings, and felt inwardly shocked.
