An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

The little girl smiled shyly, but she was hiding something. Sang Ling glanced over and saw what was going on.

There were so many soldiers returning with her, and there were quite a few she knew and had serious dealings with. But she insisted that Chen Feng go back to the Dai Mansion with her to explain - maybe her family wouldn't think too much?

"My mother didn't want to, and my eldest mother didn't want to either, so naturally I couldn't go." Dai Chengjun tried to suppress the smile on his face, but it seemed as if the corners of his lips were pulled up by something and he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did.

"What did Chen Feng say?" Sang Ling went straight to the point and smiled at her with narrowed eyes.

"In fact, we had agreed on this story long ago." The daughter of the Dai family cleared her throat and said, "If you say that I accompanied you to Jiaozhou, then I can't have any contact with you after that. So you say that I sneaked out on my own and was abducted by the bandits. Jin Sheng and Wei Xiao couldn't rescue me, so we were sold to the south together. Fortunately, their team passed by, and Chen Feng knew me because I was a classmate of Marquis Mu Wu and his wife, so he saved me. But at that time, the war broke out in the south, and all the checkpoints to the north were blocked, so they had to find a safe place for me to live, and brought me back with us when we returned to Beijing."

"My parents would also like to thank you."

Sang Ling was stunned after hearing this, and after a while he gave her a thumbs up, "Ling Zhen, I admire your thoroughness."

"My family invited him to have dinner with them." Dai Chengjun adjusted her skirt and said in a low voice.

This was very strange, and combined with her half-shy look, Sang Ling smiled again with narrowed eyes, "Are there any other plots in your story?"

"Do you want to know?" The girl from the Dai family started to keep the secret, and Sang Ling nodded and said "Yeah".

"Give me your mascara in exchange."

She found it funny. "I was going to give it to you." Then she changed her tone and pretended to be angry. "You are interesting. You let others exchange things for your own business."

"Don't you want to listen?" Dai Chengjun finished speaking. Sang Ling blew into her palm and started to tickle her. "Tell me quickly."

The carriage was shaken by the noise, and the driver turned back to take a look. The two little girls stopped laughing, and Dai Chengjun smiled and begged for mercy, "I say, I say, stop it now." After the other side stopped the action, he took a quick breath to calm down, "It's said that he was a hero saving a beauty. He is the hero and I am the beauty."

"Did Chen Feng say that himself?" Sang Ling's curiosity was about to jump to his throat.

"I was the one who started the conversation, and he just said that he saved us on the way. My aunt asked, 'How did you save us?' I said that he broke into the robbers' den by himself, beat them all with his skills, and saved the three of us. My aunt wanted to keep him at home for dinner, but he didn't want to, but I gave him a hand in private, and he stayed."

"How are you going to give him a hand - in private?" Sang Ling emphasized the three words "in private".

In front of a room full of people, it is not necessarily that the two of them would stand together. If they specifically grabbed one of them, wouldn't everyone be able to see it?

"I just went over and pulled it." Dai Chengjun looked innocent as he tucked his falling hair behind his ears.

"I've noticed something's wrong with you two. Tell me, what's going on between you two?" Sang Ling didn't continue arguing with her. When the driver's voice came again, they had already arrived at the East Market.

The daughter of the Dai family laughed and scolded, then lifted the carriage curtain and asked Sang Ling to get off, and then arranged for two servants to take care of the little girls.

When they all got off, they happened to meet a camel caravan of Western merchants carrying spices passing by. The group of people immediately pulled over and stopped. The five little daughters of Zhongcun were all stunned and watched the caravan go far away.

Sang Ling signaled Zong Xiang and Wei Chu to take the five little daughters to the side for a walk.

Dai Chengjun cast a glance and didn't care much. She simply took Sang Ling's arm and continued in a low voice, "Listen to me, I thought he was good-looking at first, so I paid more attention to him. Later, I found that he was really silly, so I couldn't help teasing him. I don't know how, I just--" She thought for a while before saying, "I fell in love with him."

"Then what do your family think?" Sang Ling also carefully recalled Chen Feng's situation - Chen's hometown is in the northwest, and his ancestors were all poor people. He was originally a fire chief, and now he has been promoted to a deputy general, but he is not a member of the imperial court. The salary is all paid by the general of the chariot and cavalry. In the future, he may be a good son-in-law with a promising future, but in the eyes of these powerful families in the capital of the country, his family is probably not big enough.

This question stopped Dai Chengjun. The daughter of the Dai family looked at the street with a blank look in her eyes for a while, and said, "After dinner, he went back. My mother asked me a few questions and said that he looked good and spoke steadily. He was just five years older than me. My mother didn't say anything, and my father didn't say anything either. Then he went back to his study."

Then it is estimated that this marriage will be a long and difficult journey. It depends on whether the grandmother of the Dai family has the final say in the family. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get through the level of her parents alone. Sang Ling pondered in silence, and Dai Chengjun continued his own words, "But it's okay. I'll ask Chen Feng when I have time. As long as he is not as cowardly as Qin Zhongjian, I won't become a banle."

Sang Ling nodded in agreement and echoed, "With determination, all difficulties can be overcome."

The two of them walked and turned into a mansion. She asked Zui Banle again, "Have you contacted her? When you have some free time, let's go out and have fun."

"She is not like you. She is at home taking care of the children." Dai Chengjun pouted and sighed repeatedly, "What good stuff can come out of the Xun family? She gave birth to a daughter, and the concubine gave birth to a son. Although he is a concubine's son, he is also Xun Jin's first son. The family treasures him very much. When we were out, Ban Le sent someone to my house to deliver a letter. The higher-ups said that even the child's wet nurse bullied her."

"How did it become like this? After all, she is a daughter of an official family, how did she end up like this?" Sang Ling suddenly remembered that the last time she met Ban Le, she was still speaking for Xun Jin, saying that he had promised something... Then she changed her mind and sneered. How can you trust a man's words? If you want to hear something nice, just open your mouth and don't do anything.

"She has accepted her fate now. Her parents don't care. What else can she do? After all, her daughter is her own. She has suffered and the child is innocent. Naturally, she has no time to take care of the child."

"So I say, rather than dragging it out to this point, it's better to get a divorce sooner rather than later." Sang Ling muttered to himself. Before Dai Chengjun could hear clearly, the shopkeeper on the other end of the street brought out the jade ring that she had reserved earlier. The conversation stopped for a moment. The Dai family's daughter's attention was already on the jade item. Sang Ling was distracted for a while, and still felt bad.
