In the evening, when Ning Sangsang walked into the dining room, a sumptuous dinner had been prepared, steaming hot and fragrant.

In the dining room, General Hua, Hua Liuli, Chu Aotian, Chu Aoyu, Su Xiaoyu, Ning Hui, and Gu Yunshen were sitting at the dining table. Her third sister, sixth sister, and seventh brother were nowhere to be seen.

Ning Sangsang was about to ask when Su Xiaoyu spoke up, "Xiao Sangsang, your third sister and the others left this afternoon. Seeing that you were asleep, they didn't come to disturb you. They told me that they had something important to do, so they left first."

After hearing this, Ning Sangsang swallowed the words that were about to ask them where they were going.

General Hua sat in the main seat and said cheerfully, "Miss Ning, please sit down and try these special dishes of Liangzhou City."

"Okay." Ning Sangsang responded with a smile.

Su Xiaoyu couldn't wait to pull Ning Sangsang over and asked her to sit next to him, "Little Sangsang, sit next to me."

General Hua saw that everyone was present, and he swept his eyes over everyone present. He said in a loud voice: "Today, I, Hua, want to thank you all here! This time, we were able to win the battle with Beimo so easily, and we also captured Moguan City and forced Beimo Kingdom to sign a surrender letter because everyone worked together to fight against the foreign enemy.

You are all warriors. It is a blessing for the Chu State to have good men and women like you." He raised his glass and stood up, "Come, I'll toast to you all."

Everyone raised their glasses and stood up after hearing this. Gu Yunshen smiled and said to General Hua: "General Hua, you are the true hero of the Great Chu State. We are just doing our part."

"Yes, General Hua, you are the real hero of our great Chu Kingdom." Chu Ao Yu agreed with a smile.

"General Hua, you are a great hero. I admire you very much." Ning Hui looked at him with admiration on his face.

"General Hua, you sacrificed your own family for the sake of everyone, fought on the battlefield, and protected the mountains and rivers of the Great Chu State. We should respect you. If it weren't for you, how could we enjoy a peaceful life without war?" Ning Sangsang said.

"Yes, General Hua, you have worked hard to protect the Great Chu Kingdom over the years. We should respect you." Su Xiaoyu echoed.

Chu Aotian said: "General Hua, this cup is for you."

General Hua listened to their words and laughed heartily, "Okay, okay, you toast me, let's drink this glass of wine and have dinner."

Everyone drank it all in one gulp, and then sat down to eat.

"Don't be polite, everyone. Eat more." General Hua greeted everyone with a smile.

"General Hua, don't worry, we won't be polite. We will eat more." Su Xiaoyu responded with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I like straightforward girls like you."

The dinner ended in laughter and joy. After the meal, General Hua suggested going to the courtyard to admire the moon, and everyone readily agreed.

The night sky of Liangzhou City was exceptionally clear, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, its silver light filling the entire general's mansion.

"General Hua, we will set off back to Beijing tomorrow." Chu Aotian said to General Hua.

"Okay, you guys go back. You've been at the border for a while now, and your families must be worried."

General Hua said something and thought of something, then said to Chu Aotian: "Seventh Prince, my daughter grew up in the northwest since she was a child. She is straightforward and has no scheming. She doesn't know how to fight in big houses and can't stand any grievances. You two are not suitable. You should cancel the engagement. Anyway, you don't like her."

His daughter didn't want to marry the Seventh Prince, so he had to help her cancel the engagement with the Seventh Prince.

He didn't want his daughter to marry a royal relative. He just wanted her to be free from constraints and live a happy and carefree life.

"General Hua, the marriage is not a joke. Miss Hua and I have been granted a marriage by our father. Cancelling it like this will not be good for Miss Hua's reputation." Chu Aotian said in a deep voice. Compared with the delicate girls raised in the boudoir, he prefers a heroic girl like Hua Liuli.

"I don't care about my reputation." Hua Liuli came over and said, "Seventh Prince, don't worry about my reputation being damaged. Just cancel the engagement."

Seeing that Hua Liuli didn't care about her reputation and was determined to break off the engagement, Chu Aotian said in a deep voice, "Miss Hua, if you want to break off the engagement with me, come with us to the capital tomorrow and we will personally speak to our father."

"Okay." Hua Liuli agreed readily.

They will be leaving for Beijing tomorrow, so everyone chatted in the yard for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.
