"What do you know, kid?" Madam Han frowned. "Military power is the foundation of civil governance. Are the eruditions of scholars meant for war?"
Liu Qinghuan comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. My son, Zijun, is General Qingguang of the Great Qi. Although he has fought bravely and risked his life, he has never failed to win. Situ is in the barracks and is sure to be safe and sound."
"General Qingguang?!"
This time the two spoke in unison.
I thought it was a war where I would be retired, but unexpectedly I was appointed to an official position in the imperial court.
"There's nothing to hide between our two families. Situ's mentor is the former Grand Master of Great Qi, Situ Wang, a hermit from Sanyi Mountain. It was the Ye family that had done him a favor back then, and after Situ finished his studies, they allowed him to come to the Ye family to help Zijun."
Han Dai and Madam Han didn't know what to say.
"But..." Mrs. Han suddenly felt that she was marrying above her station and backed out of the marriage proposal.
Liu Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Han's expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Madam, Situ has no achievements now, he is just a retainer of the Ye family, please rest assured."
"Then, if Dai'er gets married, does she have to follow him back to Yunxi City?"
Liu Qinghuan spoke truthfully and nodded, "We plan to return to Yunxi in the fall."
"Sanyi Shanren is an extraordinary person, and he may not know much about the ways of the world. If you have any concerns about marriage, just tell me."
"My daughter, the distance between Yuncheng and Yunxi is long and remote. How can I bear to let Dai'er marry to such a faraway place..." Mrs. Han reached out and stroked Han Dai's hand, feeling a little reluctant.
"I understand your feelings. If you are willing, you can go to Yunxi with Master Han. Situ is an orphan and will definitely treat you two as his own parents." As for the Sanyi Immortal? That's his grandfather's generation.
Madam Han shook her head and said, "Dai'er's father and I have lived in Yuncheng for half our lives. It's not like we can just leave like that."
"But, mother..." Upon hearing this, Han Dai suddenly had the idea of not getting married.
"Miss Han, Madam Han," Liu Qinghuan quickly stopped talking, fearing that the two would say something about not marrying her. How could she then face Situ again? "It's too early to consider this matter now. It's better to wait for Master Han to come back and discuss it again."
Mrs. Han nodded: "My daughter is right."
Liu Qinghuan believed that Master Han should be an extremely polite person, and since Situ Yue "slept with" someone else's daughter, he should definitely hold Situ Yue responsible.
Seeing that Madam Han remained silent for a long time, Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips and said, "Situ's interpersonal relationships are simple, that's all. For the sake of the marriage, I dare not hide a single word of these things, otherwise it would be insincere."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first," Liu Qinghuan said with a casual smile. "Today I'm mainly here to pass on a message and ask if Miss Han is free to get together tomorrow."
Han Dai nodded: "Is tomorrow at 9:00 PM possible?"
"Of course, Miss Han, does she have any favorite flavors? I can prepare some."
"The food at Huanxi is delicious. Just prepare whatever you like, sister." Han Dai was taught by Master Han not to be picky about food since she was a child. If she said what she really liked to eat, she was just like an ordinary girl who had a sweet tooth. They happened to meet each other in the pastry shop.
"That's great. If there's nothing else, Mrs. Han, Miss Han, I'll take my leave first." After Liu Qinghuan said this, he stood up.
Mrs. Han also stood up to see her off: "My daughter, thank you for taking the trouble to come here."
"What are you talking about, Madam Han? This is what I should do. Please stay, the wind outside is very cold." Liu Qinghuan said as he wrapped his cloak around himself.
