Xiao Keyan hadn’t met the person, so she kept her opinions to herself, quietly listening to Dong Jingyi continue to speak.
At dinner in the evening, Madam Dong mentioned the visit from Madam Yuan at the dining table.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhenghua immediately laughed and said, "What a coincidence, I also met the eldest son of the Yuan Family at the racetrack today and raced a few rounds with him."
As he spoke, admiration appeared on his face.
"Truly living up to his reputation as a son of a military family, the eldest son of the Yuan Family’s equestrian skills and marksmanship are truly remarkable."
Dong Yuanxuan spoke up, "Yuan Yonghao trained with General Yuan in the barracks from a young age. He was already capable dealing with matters on his own when he came of age, leading troops to patrol the twelve military towns. If he didn’t have real skills, how could he manage his soldiers?"
He said this while smiling at Xiao Keyan.
"Some say he has the demeanor your father had when he was young."
Xiao Keyan was full of disbelief: "That guy, can be compared to my father?"
Dong Zhenghua laughed as he picked up the conversation: "It’s not an exaggeration. The military talents of the eldest son of the Yuan Family are indeed outstanding. The Xiliang Cavalry was personally trained by the Prince. They’re famous for being unruly troops, skilled yet proud, not recognizing just anyone."
"But now the cavalry commander is the eldest son of the Yuan Family, which shows that his abilities are indeed impressive. By the way, have you all already met him?"
Xiao Keyan nodded her head but said nothing.
Dong Jingyi laughed and said, "We have met him, more than once in fact. We saw him once at the assembly square and then again at the Ganzhou Restaurant, during the Western Regions merchants’ disturbance."
"I must say, his skills are indeed impressive. At the assembly square, he single-handedly defeated everyone in the ring, and during the chaos with the Western Regions merchants, he acted, and then no one was injured on the second floor of the restaurant."
As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Keyan.
"Wouldn’t you say so, Keyan?"
Xiao Keyan made an ’oh’ sound: "Pretty much."
Madam Dong: "I heard the Yuan Family seems to want to marry into the Ren Family."
Dong Jingyi hurriedly added: "It seems so. Keyan and I saw him for ourselves, he fought fiercely with Young Master Cao for Miss Ren. But, Young Master Cao also likes Miss Ren, so who will end up marrying her is still uncertain."
