"That's true. Old Master Liang must be very unwilling. He went through so much trouble to get his hands on the He family's little beauty, only to be scared to death by a bunch of actors."

"Alright, stop crying. What's the use of crying? Instead of crying here, we should pray to God to bring His Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince here as soon as possible. If His Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince come here, we might still be able to survive."
