Lian'er's words enlightened him. He didn't like his family pressuring him to get married, but he was mainly wrong in this matter and had caused trouble for his family.
During dinner, Da Meng downed a full glass of wine in one gulp, solemnly apologized to everyone, and explained the whole story.
The Qiao family remained silent for a while.
"Why didn't you say this sooner? This girl is your savior. How can we not treat our benefactor well?" Old Mrs. Qiao scolded.
Old Master Qiao said, "You need to make it clear from the beginning who will let you send that person out, even if—"
He considered it for a moment, then continued, "Even if there are some risks involved with this girl, our Qiao family is willing to take them on."
Fortunately, since the person was still at home, they didn't treat her too coldly. She was well fed and clothed, and they even sent a doctor to check on her condition.
Old Man Qiao snorted: "You, always so stubborn, don't do it again next time."
Da Meng's nose stung, and his vision blurred once again.
When he finally spoke out, this was how his family reacted, and he felt even more guilty and remorseful.
“Da Meng, it’s not that the family is pressuring you to get married, but you’re of age and you’re always traveling to your fiefdom. Your only chance is at those banquets. Otherwise, where are you going to find a girl you like?” Madam Lü said with a hint of grievance.
"If you really can find your soulmate, why would your family urge you to go drinking? What if your life were in danger? Luckily, that girl saved you this time."
Qiao Laosan: "Mother, let's not talk about it anymore. Zhizhi is ahead, and Xiaomeng is ahead too. It's just a matter of others saying a few words. Our Qiao family has weathered many storms, and we're not incapable of taking them."
Qiao Lian'er said, "That girl saved Brother Da Meng, so let's give her a proper ending. Now that she's settled in our home, let's find a way to help her regain her memory, find her family, and send her home safely."
With the decision made by their leader, the Qiao family had a clear and definite goal for what to do next.
Old Qiao left some good dishes for this meal: three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup, filling an entire tray.
"Let her eat more. She's too weak. She's been eating well these past few days, so why can't she recover?" Old Mrs. Qiao muttered at the end.
"I also find it strange. We thought that since Da Meng brought him back, and he ate meat and vegetables at every meal, how could his body be so weak? The doctor couldn't find anything wrong either," said Madam Lü, also puzzled.
“She was in such a state herself, yet she still went to great lengths to save Brother Da Meng,” Ling Yin said.
Grandma Qiao gave Da Meng another disapproving look: "If you keep hiding it, you'll have to blame yourself if something goes wrong."
Da Meng blushed again.
The girl was somewhat surprised to see a full plate of food brought in. Seeing the cold expression on Princess Zhenguo's face, she thought she wouldn't be able to eat tonight. She then silently began to think about how to leave the Qiao family without making things difficult for everyone.
Should we treat her to a nice meal and then let her leave?
That's for the best, so as not to displease the Qiao family, and to avoid her feeling uneasy.
"Eat up. My family didn't know you saved me, so please don't worry about it. Now everyone has decided to help you regain your memory and find your family," Da Meng said gently.
