Just like that, the deadlock persisted. She followed Su Dingheng for another year, but he couldn't marry her. With red eyes and deep guilt, Su Dingheng approached her and said, "The old master arranged a marriage for me and asked me to marry a woman named Long Shuli."
"Who is she? The daughter of a high official?" Liu Shulan's heart shattered, sinking to the lowest depths. She couldn't escape her background!
However, Su Dingheng appeared frustrated. "What daughter of a high official? She's like a beggar on the street! That night, I don't know how I ended up with her, and then my father found out. Surprisingly, my father valued her!"
"What... a beggar?" The anger in Liu Shulan's heart flared up.
On what grounds could a beggar girl marry Su Dingheng, while she, born into a respectable family, was denied the position of the Marquis's young madam just because she was a little poor?
She was not convinced!
