Xue Qianqian didn't say anything, but she felt happy in her heart.
I didn't expect Brother Pei to be so powerful that he could even defeat the government soldiers. But I soon became worried again, thinking that Liu Xiao might not give up.
Moreover, the government also took the capture of the young master of a noble family very seriously and would most likely send troops to encircle and suppress him. No matter how powerful Pei Yun was, he could not compete with the government.

Every day there were cries and shouts outside, which made anyone who heard them sad and anyone who saw them shed tears. Xue Wenju had submitted several letters to the court, but received no response.
