"Then those two siblings should get married if they are of marriageable age."
Liu Hongying was unaware that Song Dazhou had taken a liking to her. As she pulled weeds, she remained wary of him, fearing that he might do something bad to her.
Seeing Liu Hongying like this, Song Dazhou quickly explained, "Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, I mean no harm."
