Hong Fei hesitated for a mont, then looked sowhat timidly at the General, "Gao Luo... I am not fortunate enough. Although I am fond of them, I understand in my heart that with my current situation, it’s not suitable for to talk about marriage. Between and them, it’s destined to be unrequited!"
Hong Fei was clearly trying to shoulder the responsibility, fearing that the General might overthink it and that he might take it out on Luo Yang and Gao Jian because of her lack of initiative.
Dong Huiying: "..."
She found that Hong Fei seed a bit stubborn?
"Hong Fei, give an answer; I only ask you this once: Do you have feelings for those two? Do you wish to marry them?"
"I..." Perhaps Dong Huiying’s question was too blunt, causing Hong Fei to blush. She stamred, "I... I’m not good enough for them..."
Dong Huiying laughed with anger, "Not good enough? Anyone under Dong Huiying can only be out of reach for others, never not good enough!"
She stood up, "Go clean yourself up, and over the next few days, relax and cultivate yourself in the mansion. Do not drink anymore. I have already said, if you disobey, you will be dealt with according to military law; this is no joke."
Afterward, Dong Huiying led Shujun out.
When the two ca out of Hong Fei’s room, Shujun gently pinched his wife’s small hand. He blinked his charming peach blossom eyes and asked, "Xiao Hui, what do you plan to do next?"
Of course, he knew that his Xiao Hui would absolutely not ignore the matter.
Dong Huiying tilted her head and thought, "Let’s visit the Gao and Luo families. Hong Fei has feelings for those two, and you’ve said that they have feelings for Hong Fei too. I’m puzzled, though; they clearly admire each other, so why can’t they be together?"

"Jian, that Third Master Liang is here again."
In the Gao family, Gao Jian was dressed in a crescent-colored robe. His eyes were covered with a white cloth as he fumbled over the chessboard with both hands, inadvertently knocking over the chess bowl, causing pieces to clatter onto the ground.
He paused for a mont, then turned his head toward the sound, facing the room’s door.
Father Gao saw him in this state and couldn’t help but sigh again.
Back then, Jian was determined to marry into the He Mansion. Seeing that He Su was decent and ca from a large and prosperous family, they agreed. Who would have thought that in the end, Jian would end up in this state.
Father Gao still rembers vividly when Jian returned, his eyes had been gouged out, leaving him blind, and his body covered in bruises, so thin it was almost out of shape.
He and Jian’s mother were furious beyond compare, but by the ti they and the Luo family head arrived in Taihang Town, everything was settled, and even He Su had been beheaded at the marketplace.
But even though that woman died, it couldn’t quench the bitterness in their hearts!
The once arrogant and sowhat proud Gao Jian had completely changed. Now, he rarely showed any emotions, except in one matter...
Upon learning that Shujun was visiting, Gao Jian frowned, and then it seed he gritted his teeth before feeling his way to stand slowly.
He called for a servant and then asked the servant to help him walk toward the front hall.
After reaching the front hall, unable to see, the servant whispered softly to him.
It turned out that Third Master Liang didn’t co alone but brought another person, a woman.
A woman?
Gao Jian couldn’t help but hold his breath, instinctively thinking of Hong Fei.
But listening to the servant’s description, he understood that he had misunderstood; the woman who ca with Third Master Liang was not Hong Fei.
Relieved, he couldn’t help but feel a slight tinge of disappointnt...
