r of the Grand Duke Family, but what was discussed in private was quite unpleasant to hear.

Weiwei did not have a good reputation at all.

Was Ji Qingyuan not bothered by this? Did the Ji family not mind?

The Dowager Duchess was quite doubtful about that.

However, Ji Qingyuan sounded sincere and did not appear to be putting up a false front.
He seemed to be genuine in his intentions, which rather perplexed her.

What did Ji Qingyuan see in Weiwei?

The Dowager Duchess could not be blamed for thinking of Ji Qingyuan in this manner.
Ever since Lu Liangwei had caused such a scandal, there had been quite a lot of unpleasant, vicious things said about her in private.
Her reputation was considered more or less utterly ruined.

What did Ji Qingyuan want with Lu Liangwei as a daughter-in-law?

A hint of consideration could be seen within the Dowager Duchess’ wise eyes.

Ji Qingyuan was not a stupid man either.
Naturally, he understood the Dowager Duchess’ ruminations.
In his most sincere tone, he offered, “Dowager Duchess, please don’t second-guess this.
I really do think that Weiwei is a good child.
It’s my Xiu’er who can’t match up to her.
You know how he is.
That boy is arrogant and rebellious, unlike Weiwei, who is mature and stable.
If we are able to become relatives through marriage, it would be a blessing for Xiu’er.”

The Dowager Duchess fell silent at his words.

Both families had had many dealings with each other in the past.
In a way, she had watched that child, Ji Xiu, grow up.
He was blessed with good looks but had always been stubborn and obstreperous since childhood.
As he got older, he grew even more arrogant and obstinate and was incapable of submitting to discipline.

Even though his son had never done anything particularly bad, Ji Qingyuan had still encountered plenty of headaches because of Ji Xiu.

If this had been Weiwei from before, the Dowager Duchess would never have believed Ji Qingyuan’s words.
However, so much had happened since, and Weiwei had certainly changed quite a lot.
At the very least, she was far more likable than before, and her character had become much steadier.

“That girl has been pampered too much by the family.
She’s not the paragon you make her out to be,” the Dowager Duchess replied in a tactfully polite manner.

Ji Qingyuan immediately replied, “You’re much too humble, Dowager Duchess.
Weiwei has been personally guided by you, so naturally, she has been excellently brought up.
Our Xiu’er, on the other hand, is very stubborn.
I’m afraid he might not be a proper match for Weiwei.
However, I do hope the Dowager Duchess will still give some consideration to my proposal today.
I really do think Weiwei is a good girl, which is why I made up my mind to come and see you.”
