Chapter 219 - 219 218 The Son-in-law of a Prestigious Family

?Chapter 219: Chapter 218: The Son-in-law of a Prestigious Family Chapter 219: Chapter 218: The Son-in-law of a Prestigious Family Mrs. Li, longing for company, was delighted to have Mrs. Chen, the mother of the governor of Dingzhou, as a well-spoken companion. In no time, they found themselves engaged in endless conversation, and Mrs. Li even invited Mrs. Chen to have a meal in her room that night.

Mrs. Chen was proud of her great-granddaughter’s beautiful appearance and dutiful nature, and had long desired a high-born groom for her. Upon arriving in Dingzhou, she had heard of Chu Lingxuan and had her hopes set on him, planning secretly to find someone who could help arrange the match.

Mrs. Chen, with a plan in mind, dismissed Mrs. Lu and the maidservant, and said to Mrs. Li with a smile, “A while ago, during the General Lu’s daughter’s wedding, I had the opportunity to catch a distant glimpse of Mr. Chu, and oh my, he was truly handsome and impressive… My great-granddaughter Hui’er is as beautiful as her father, unique in her beauty, gentle and virtuous, and good at poetry and painting.
