[At Zhu Zhengfeng's words, the corner of Dai Jili's mouth twitched.
If he dared ask Qin Feng and the others about this, would he even live to tell the tale?
If he brought it up, Qin Feng and Zhu Zhuqing would surely beat him to death on the spot.
Dai Jili knew they simply looked down on his family.
Especially the Zhu sisters-they still harbored plenty of resentment toward the imperial family.
A marriage alliance with someone from the imperial family would surely remind them of their past, and they might even lash out at them.
That was why he only dared approach Zhu Zhengfeng. At least Zhu Zhengfeng would refrain from attacking him for the sake of their friendship.
"Hahaha, true enough. Let's set that matter aside for now and discuss something else. Qin Qingxian is old enough now. How about sending her to study at the Star Luo Royal Academy?
Rest assured, the Star Luo Royal Academy will spare no effort in teaching Qin Qingxian. All its resources will be directed toward her.
What do you think?"
Dai Jili laughed several times, then steered the conversation elsewhere.
Everything could be taken slowly. He refused to believe that two children who grew up together would fail to develop feelings for each other.
If the main road was blocked, he could always take a side path.
"Well, I can't make that decision. I'll need to discuss it with Zhu Zhuqing and Qin Feng," Zhu Zhengfeng answered slowly.
After so many years navigating officialdom, how could he fail to see what Dai Jili was thinking?
But the same point still stood: it wasn't his decision to make.
"All right, then. I'll await good news from you. The Star Luo Royal Academy would be delighted to welcome Qin Qingxian as a student."
