“Alright, alright, go attend to the guests; don’t neglect them.” The boss never had a comeback when arguing with Ling Zhou. Though she seemed weak, her head was filled with principles he had never heard of—could his life experience be insufficient?
“Hmph!”
Until closing time that night, she remained troubled by this matter, and the persistent scout still following her only fueled her anger.
She suddenly turned into an alley, leaning against the wall and waiting for the fool to walk right into her trap. As expected, hurried footsteps appeared shortly after she entered the alley, quickly approaching.
“Ah, Miss Xia,” Shang Fa entered and was startled to find her standing behind him.
“Go find that useless general? On what grounds?” She raised her delicate eyebrows. Going to find him now would make him think she was eager to marry him. “Dream on; if you want to go, go yourself!”
“Young Master Xia, if you don’t want me to reveal your identity here, come with me to find the general.” Just as she was about to serve tea to other guests, Shang Fa spoke slowly behind her.
“You!” Ling Zhou suddenly turned around, almost spilling the teapot.
His tone was provocative, but there was no threat in Shang Fa’s eyes. Instead, they were filled with expectation.

“Is that useless general so important to you?” she asked uncertainly, wondering what good he could possibly do.
“Like my parents.” He nodded firmly, knowing Ling Zhou was already wavering.
“Hmph, let me consider it!” Ling Zhou said huffily, “But I have conditions.”
“I absolutely will not reveal the young lady’s identity!” Hearing that she would go with him, he excitedly stood up from the stool.
“Of course.” She looked down on the loyal man before her, “What I’m saying is, get out of here immediately!”
“…”
