Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

The second wife pursed her lips and said, “Mom is only saying this to you. I won't mention it to anyone else, especially not to your aunt."

"My daughter is excellent—there's no need for her to compete with anyone over a man."

Still, it felt a bit regrettable.

She had missed out on such a promising son-in-law like Zhan Yuan.

"By the way, how did the old lady of the Zhan family come to know your elder sister? I heard she's already in her early eighties, yet she still travels around looking for wives for her grandchildren."

The second wife was clearly intrigued by Madam Zhan.

Ouyang Ting replied, “I don't know Madam Zhan personally, so I'm not sure. All I know is that she took a liking to my elder sister, and Zhan Yuan did too. I don't have any romantic feelings for Zhan Yuan. Mom, please don't say things like, 'It's a pity we missed out on him' in the future."
