The two of them remained silent the entire way until they returned to Lady Meng's courtyard, where Lady Meng finally couldn't help but speak out: "What was that just now? Are you still thinking of Xia Zheng?"
As she saw her mother's angry look, Yao Hanai slightly lowered her gaze and remained silent.
This silent demeanor instantly ignited the fury in Lady Meng's heart, and she huffed angrily, scolding: "Are you muddled, child? You're about to marry into Xiliang in a political match, and yet you are still foolishly dreaming of marrying Xia Zheng? If you had the ability to capture his heart, that would be one thing, but you don't even have that; you can't even outdo a simple village girl, so what face do you have to call yourself the number one talented woman of the Capital city?"
