He casually helped her establish her standing in the village, and to repay him, she went to the marquis’s estate where he lived in Shaoyin to take on his stepmother, kill his half-brother, and outmaneuver his younger brother. Once she had repaid every favor, he turned the marquis’s grand hall into a wedding hall, took her hand, and ordered his servants, “What are you standing around for? Hurry and help the heir’s consort change into her wedding dress...”
