Everyone in the Ping Cheng quad knew that the entire Zhai family lived in the capital and had not returned in years. Because of the distance, when talking about the Zhai family, they often could only rely on news from the television. 'See, that's what the news on television said. I used to be neighbors with their family and lived in the same courtyard.'
Since the Zhai family was in the capital and Qiao Nan had never been to the capital, how had Qiao Nan managed to hook up with Zhai Sheng and enchant him to such an extent that he was willing to marry an old spinster who was nearly forty years old?
In Qiao Zijin's mind, she had never treated Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family as people from Ping Cheng. As such, although everyone in Ping Cheng already knew about their family, she felt that it was likely that Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family did not. With such a bold assumption, Qiao Zijin faced the Zhai family with full confidence.
