That day, every great mansion in Shangjing was in an uproar. Which of their legitimate daughters wasn't precious?
They were all doted on and pampered as they grew up, with families hoping to use marriage alliances to gain more support.
But for a mother, it was different. These daughters were their own flesh and blood. How could they bear to watch them be sent to their deaths?
Even Kuang Yunqiao, who had been confined to the Buddhist Hall, rushed out for the sake of her own legitimate daughter.
"Marquis, she is our only daughter! You can't just stand by and watch her be sent away for a marriage alliance."
Bai Yugang was filled with frustration. Ever since that unfilial son of his had married the legitimate daughter of the Southwest General, Deng Zhiyi, he had been forced to surrender what little military authority he had left.
As a Marquis with no real power, how many people would still show him any respect?
