Sang Yan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes. I won't see him. Nor do I wish to. So, don't grant him the marriage. I'm not speaking for him, I'm speaking for that girl. What did she do wrong? To be betrothed to a man she doesn't know for no reason?"
He Ying was quite pleased at the beginning, but then felt something was off—how did it become his fault for granting marriages?
"Do you think just anyone can be granted marriage by me? That's a matter that brings glory to our ancestors. That girl probably can't thank me enough."
"Yes, thank her."
Sang Yan thought of Lan Xi, who had been married to her original host's brother by the Emperor, who indeed was grateful to the Emperor. But what about the original host's brother? Had anyone asked for his opinion?
Thinking of the original host's brother, who was also not one to give peace of mind, she said, "Well, just wait and see. See if Sang Jue will come back and thank you."
He Ying was silent.
How did this involve Sang Jue?
