However, she also knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Another side room in the general's mansion.
The atmosphere inside the room was also strangely eerie.
General Xie paced around the room several times with his hands behind his back, looking extremely nervous.
Sitting at the table, Liu's gaze was fixed on a piece of letter paper, and she couldn't look away for a long time.
General Xie stopped walking and said:
"The princess's reputation has plummeted. Even though her arrogance and domineering nature were well-known in the past, it has never been like this before..."
"When people talk about the princess, they say she's a ruthless and vicious woman. Can such a reputation be reversed in the future?"
Liu's hand kept stroking the signature area of the letter.
The words "Quiet and Harmonious" were clearly written there.
She hesitated for a long time before saying:
"Even so, she is still a princess of noble blood, a hundred times more noble than Gu Jiangli, isn't she? These things are just something the common people find interesting and novel, and they'll forget about them after a while."
"She will still be a noble princess. If her marriage to Shi Yan goes through, Shi Yan will not only be a general, but also the son-in-law of the Northern Qi."
“We’ve helped the princess and done her a favor. If my brother Baoxuan gets married in the future, the princess can help him find a good family to marry into.”
General Xie nodded subconsciously: "That's right, I know it wasn't easy to find your younger brother. The reason I haven't found a wife for Baoxuan all these years is because I wanted to settle Shiyan's marriage first."
Liu sighed and said earnestly, "Alas, Baoxuan is my only blood relative, and Shiyan is a child I watched grow up. My sister entrusted Shiyan to me, so naturally I must prioritize him."
“I’m sorry to have troubled you, Madam. I’ve been fighting on the battlefield for many years and I’m not good at socializing. I don’t know many nobles in the capital. The rest of the Xie family is unwilling to help Bao Xuan find a husband. That’s why… Otherwise, Bao Xuan would have married a noble lady long ago.”
"No, sir, how can you blame yourself? Once Shi Yan and the princess are married, we can then focus on Bao Xuan's marriage."
"So, we have to do as the princess says?"
Lady Liu nodded solemnly, “Helping the princess is not difficult.”
