As he finished his story, Han Mo had also finished his chicken soup.
He listened for a full quarter of an hour. From beginning to end, Han Mo had not heard the name Han Shizhong from her mouth once, which made Han Mo a little anxious.
"How about this, since there's nothing else to do today, why don't you take Commandant Han with you and go to the market again? When you return tonight, tell me all the rumors you've heard and seen!"
After returning the soup bowl to Liang Hongyu, Han Mo spoke again.
"My lord, have I done something wrong?"
As soon as Han Mo finished speaking, Liang Hongyu suddenly asked softly.
"Why do you ask that?"
Looking at her shy expression, Han Mo was stunned. No way!
Had he taken Han Shizhong's wife's heart without any warning?
"Then why do you keep trying to set me up with that blockhead..."
As Liang Hongyu said this, her eyes became noticeably red.
"I..."
Hearing her say that, Han Mo's mouth twitched. At this moment, he truly didn't know how to explain.
Heaven and Earth!
Was some celestial maiden playing a joke on me?
At this moment, Han Mo's frustration was beyond words. Wasn't this ridiculous? Wasn't this a mismatch?
Could his charm be so great? How long had it been, and Liang Hongyu seemed to have become devoted to him all of a sudden.
"When I saved you, didn't I already say that I had no other intentions towards you?"
After a dry cough, Han Mo could only say, bracing himself.
"I know, even if I leave the courtesan register, I was once a woman of the night. I can't become my lord's wife or concubine. But even without any title, I am willing to stay by my lord's side, even if it's just as a maid!"
After saying this, Liang Hongyu immediately squatted on the ground and covered her face with her hands.
She looked like a startled ostrich.
As a woman, saying these words was the limit of what she could do.
This time, Han Mo truly started to have a headache. How did things start to develop in this direction?
"Who says you are a woman of the night? Although Commandant Han looks like a blockhead now, with his abilities, he will surely rise to prominence one day. I learned physiognomy from someone in my youth, and his face is of noble bearing. You will not suffer any grievances if you follow him. Why hang yourself on this crooked tree like me?"
If it were an ordinary woman who had gone this far, Han Mo might have accepted it with half-heartedness, after all, he was a man.
But the problem was, this was Liang Hongyu, a heroic woman!
Keeping such a woman by his side as a maid would be a waste of talent.
Even if she was willing, Han Mo was afraid of being struck by lightning.
"But, how can I, a woman of the night, be worthy of him..."
The more Liang Hongyu spoke, the sadder and more wronged she became. As she spoke, she squatted on the ground and started to cry.
"How about this, let's become sworn siblings today, okay? If you don't mind, from now on, you will be my own sister. If anyone dares to spread rumors behind our backs, I'll tear their mouths apart!"
Listening to Liang Hongyu's quiet sobs, Han Mo gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and threw out a trump card.
"But I..."
"That's enough, there's no 'but.' If you continue to refuse, it means you don't respect me!"
As soon as Liang Hongyu finished speaking, Han Mo interrupted her directly, giving her no chance to refuse.
"Brother, please accept this bow from your humble sister!"
After a long time, Liang Hongyu finally held back her tears.
Biting her lips, she then bowed gracefully to Han Mo.
"Hahahaha, from now on, you are my sister, Han Mo. As for Commandant Han, I will personally speak with him later!"
Although Liang Hongyu's eyes were still full of tears, Han Mo said with a guilty conscience.
"Mmm..."
With a soft hum, Liang Hongyu, whose face was as red as a monkey's backside, quickly covered her face and ran back to her room.
Behind her, Han Mo finally let out a long sigh of relief. Good heavens, this was too frightening.
However, upon closer thought, he could understand Liang Hongyu's feelings before.
Although she was a future heroic woman, she was still just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
She couldn't distinguish between gratitude and affection.
Thinking of it this way, Han Mo could somewhat believe the legends in later historical records.
What was called love at first sight was more likely Liang Hongyu's gratitude towards Han Shizhong.
Indeed, feudal ethics are destructive! Although feudal ethics had not yet reached the point of devouring people in this era,
However, it seemed that the corruption was deep enough.
If Han Mo hadn't known that their married life would turn out to be quite good, his few casual words just now could have ruined Liang Hongyu's entire life.
"Hey, you, go find Commandant Han for me!"
After sighing with relief, Han Mo decided to sort out Han Shizhong first.
After all, he had many things to do, and he really didn't have time to waste too much energy on matters of romance.
Besides, Liang Hongyu was beautiful, and now she had become Han Mo's sworn sister. In any aspect, marrying her to this common soldier was a profit for him.
With Han Mo's current status, being able to establish a connection with him was truly a pie from the sky for Han Shizhong.
"My lord, you were looking for me?"
Hearing that Han Mo had something to tell him, Han Shizhong hurried over.
"Yes, there is something I need to discuss with you, but there's no rush. Please sit down!"
After leading him into his room, Han Mo directly took the main seat and motioned to the chair opposite him.
"Commandant Han, what do you think of me?"
Han Mo had never played matchmaker in his life.
It sounded simple just now, but now that he was actually doing it, he felt a little awkward.
At least at this moment, he couldn't even think of a proper opening line.
When he started speaking, he made Han Shizhong shiver.
This kid, he couldn't possibly have fallen for me, could he?
