"Shut up. This is the capital, not Nanyang Prefecture. If you keep howling, the Imperial Guards will come and arrest you." Zhou Laoda was too lazy to talk to him anymore and turned to get into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Guihua sighed softly, "Siqing is a really good girl. I like her very much. She is sensible and well-behaved, and she doesn't have the airs of a noble lady. She is easy-going and good-looking. It's just that her family background is too prominent. I'm afraid she would look down on us."
“That’s the Empress’s niece. Let’s not be like toads trying to eat swan meat. We should know our place.” Old Zhou shattered Zhao Guihua’s unrealistic ideas.
