Meanwhile, Gao Yingjie also returned. General Wang had just finished his work when Gao Yingjie came in. "General, I'm back."

General Wang was delighted to see Gao Yingjie. "When does the Yun family wish you two to get married?"

Gao Yingjie lowered his head. "General, I've messed things up."

General Wang's smile froze instantly. "You messed it up?!"

"Um."

What did you do?

“I…I want to speak with you privately.”

General Wang waved his hand, and everyone in the room left. "Speak."

"Yes." Gao Yingjie recounted to General Wang how Sisi had tricked him into revealing information.

After hearing this, General Wang wanted to kick Gao Yingjie. "How could you treat Yun Xiaoliu like a child? Can a child intimidate barbarians? Can a child make bandits obey her?"

"I was wrong."

Lady Wang was chatting with her maids when General Wang returned. "You may all leave."

"yes."

After the maids left, General Wang looked at Madam Wang and said, "I have betrothed Fourth Sister to Yingjie."

Madam Wang was stunned upon hearing this. "What did you say?"

“I told him I had promised my fourth daughter to Yingjie.”

"How could you do this? Fourth Sister is your legitimate daughter!"

General Wang didn't want to either, but...

General Wang told Madam Wang what Gao Yingjie had told him. "If I don't marry Fourth Sister to Yingjie, won't the Yun family say I'm pushing someone I don't like onto their daughter?"

Madam Wang would rather the Yun family say they were better off than marry her daughter to an orphan. "Can Yun Qingmei compare to Fourth Sister? Fourth Sister isn't divorced yet. Wait, you just said that when Yun Xiaoliu asked him which of your daughters he liked, he didn't say?"

"Um."

"Then let's betroth Fifth Sister to him."
