Song Hua retorted angrily, "No! I am perfectly clear-headed. Why can't I marry the woman I love? Time and time again, why!"
At this moment, a guard rushed over to report, "Master, Prince Lu and Princess Lu are looking for the second daughter of the Wang family. They say that the second daughter had a quarrel with her family and ran away from home with her ancestral gold bracelet. Now they want to search our Prince Xiang's mansion."
