Xiangzhi felt like she was being roasted over a fire. She knew Su Erhu was a smart man, but she hadn't expected him to be so difficult to deal with.
She could only grit her teeth, bow gracefully to Su Erhu, and say gratefully, "I thank Young Master Su for considering my feelings. I was too swayed by appearances today. I hope you will not hold it against me."
However, Wulipai Village is, after all, the root of Xiangzhi and her father.
If things don't escalate to the very last resort, Xiangzhi really doesn't want to make matters worse. She only asks that the young master allow these two young men to accompany her. If the clansmen truly refuse to listen to reason or force, then Xiangzhi will trouble the young master and everyone else again.
Su Erhu pondered for a while, then nodded, "In that case, we will do as Miss Qin wishes."

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tree shade, falling on the shimmering silver, making the silver light appear exceptionally dazzling.
The burning sensation gradually turned the woman's watery eyes red, and a sour feeling gathered at the tip of her nose. Large tears slid from her eye sockets to the corners of her eyes, and all the past events flashed through her eyes like a revolving lantern.
Thud!
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes onto the silvery light.
The woman could no longer hold back and burst into tears like a child, clutching the broken silver.
Only at this moment did she fully understand that what she had missed was not just a young man who was devoted to her, but an entire life that could never be turned back.
