“My son has already married Lord Sun’s daughter,” Jiang Wan’er said.
"Her name is Sun Ruoxi, right? I didn't say you should have your son divorce her," Huo Minggao said. "As I said before, I have plenty of daughters, old ones, young ones, and even widows."

"Send us two hostages?" Sun Mian frowned and said, "No, it won't be that simple!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded. "He wants one of them to become a first-rank Jianwei General, and the other to enter the Grand Secretariat and become a Grand Secretary!"
