The Lan Family could never agree to Lan Ningzhen marrying a young strategist from Qianling Town. Everything Xie Jue had was given by the Second Prince, and with just one word, the Second Prince could strip Xie Jue of everything. The Second Prince had once suspected that Xie Jue might be trying to climb up through Lan Ningzhen, but the spies in the estate informed him that Xie Jue was very indifferent toward Lan Ningzhen—he had no intention of clinging to power. Clearly, it was Lan Ningzhen being hopelessly infatuated.
The Second Prince actually quite liked his little sister-in-law and didn't wish for her to marry any of his brothers, so he was rather pleased with the situation and didn't interfere. However, upon learning the Lan Family's intentions, he was extremely displeased, and this could even be counted as a warning to the Princess.
