Mr. Shang raised an eyebrow. "So you've fallen for a married woman?"
Shang Huai continued to shake his head, "No, she is still an unmarried woman."
The merchant's father was completely baffled. "Could it be that you are in love with a woman from an enemy country?"
Before Shang Huai could say anything, his father shouted, "Let me tell you, if you like women from an enemy country, I'll kill you right now."

The father of the merchant said loudly, "Even if she is the daughter of the Duke's mansion, or even if she is the daughter of a farmer, as long as you like her, I will ask for her to marry you."
Shang Huai was overjoyed and immediately said loudly, "Thank you for your kindness, Father."
