Regardless, He Su was wealthy, capable of providing him a better life, and she was deeply devoted, almost insanely infatuated with him, so he would definitely not be able to treat her poorly in the future.
Many people got married without even having seen each other’s face, and the affection between a husband and wife was cultivated over time anyway.
In any case, at that time she thought Dong Huiying was not good to the Liang Family Brothers, and that was her initial intention. Hence, what followed happened. But when Dong Huiying and Officer Fang went to rescue Liang Shujun, she realized that maybe things weren’t as she had imagined. Perhaps there was affection between the two, and she also might have been mistaken.
So after that, Tie Hailan revisited the information her subordinates had gathered.
She knew the young lady was eighteen this year, but she really didn’t seem it. Because Dayuan women usually stood around one meter eighty in height, but this girl seemed more like a little porcelain doll than a grown woman.
Dong Huiying glared at her, suddenly feeling a little suffocated.
Because of her height, she once again suffered ten thousand points of brutality!
Tie Hailan’s home was in Jun City, which was conveniently on the way for Dong Huiying, so the carriage headed straight for Jun City with the two of them.
Tie Hailan seemed to be someone who couldn’t stay idle, always looking for opportunities to talk to Dong Huiying, and whenever Dong Huiying was not paying attention, she would stealthily touch her head, poke her paw, pinch her shoulder, and pat her leg.
Dong Huiying seriously wondered if she had encountered a pervert?
Fortunately, as soon as she glared, Tie Hailan would laugh with a ’hehe’ and pull back.
However, she would revert to her old ways before long.
She was quite resigned to it.
As the carriage entered the city gates, Dong Huiying jumped down from the carriage. Tie Hailan seemed somewhat reluctant to part. "Little Sister Xiao Dong, my home is on the east side; just ask around, and you can find it. If you run into any trouble in Jun City, you can come to me, okay?"
Dong Huiying hesitated for a moment, "Thank you." She wasn’t ungrateful, but she still felt a bit awkward around Tie Hailan, though she knew the woman meant well.
Tie Hailan took another look at her, then quickly pinched her cheek. Just as Dong Huiying was about to get angry, Tie Hailan laughed heartily and retreated back into the carriage.
Dong Huiying lingered on the spot for a while.
Jun City was busier and more prosperous than she had expected, with many horses, carriages, and people, as well as numerous taverns and shops.
Dong Huiying had agreed on a meeting place with Hong Xiangjun, but being unfamiliar with the area, she searched for a while before finding the right place.
She looked up at the signboard above the tavern, then walked in, only to be stopped by the waiter.
The waiter glanced at Dong Huiying dismissively, "Little sister, this is not a place for you." Having been in this world for some time, Dong Huiying had come to understand a bit. People usually addressed adult women as ’lady’, while ’little sister’ was specifically used for girls under the age of fifteen who were not yet considered of age.
Instantly, she puffed up her bun face.
"I’m here to find someone!"
The waiter frowned, and Dong Huiying quickly reported Hong Xiangjun’s name.
The waiter was taken aback and then said vaguely, "Lady Hong? Ah, so you are the person Lady Hong mentioned. My apologies, truly, my apologies." The waiter’s face warmed up considerably. At first, seeing her covered in blood and dressed in tattered clothes, he had mistaken her for a begging child. He didn’t expect her to be a friend of a familiar patron. "However, Lady Hong has already left. She did leave a message for you though, asking you to find her here."
