Gu Liancheng's hands were folded leisurely together. In response to her question, he calmly counter-questioned, "I'm not sure what you mean, Auntie?"
"Why did you marry Little Snow?" Luo Qing continued, "Did you marry her because you liked her?"
"Auntie, it's not that I don't understand the meaning of your words," Gu Liancheng smiled, "What I don't understand is why you're asking. Whether I like her or not, and whether I want to marry her, have no connection in a high-society marriage, correct?"
Luo Qing was about to respond, but stopped herself.
Then, Gu Liancheng added, "Or perhaps, what I really want to ask is, does getting an answer to this correlate with why you've come today? What impact would it have on Qianxun? Moreover, would telling you 'yes' or 'no' satisfy you? This links to the reason for your visit today: to protect Little Snow, or to protect Qianxun?"
Luo Qing was taken aback.
