Xie Liangchen spoke to Cheng Yanzhao like this for the first time.
Cheng Yanzhao stood at a respectable distance from her, purposefully keeping Chen Zigeng between them, and bent slightly when speaking, afraid of being impolite.
When Xie Liangchen had met Cheng Yanzhao outside Song Xian's small courtyard, he had stared at her with the demeanor of a profligate son, but today he seemed like a different person.
Xie Liangchen and Chen Zigeng saluted Cheng Yanzhao.
Xie Liangchen said, "General Song is busy with state affairs, all for the people of Daqi. We hope we can be of some help."
Cheng Yanzhao looked into Miss Xie's clear and honest eyes, feeling disheartened for Song Xian. Miss Xie was just short of saying that General Song loves the people like his own children, being like a parent in their hearts.
The difference is indeed quite vast; one has gone to the Capital City, the other hasn't even left Chen Family Village.
