What Are You Being So Nervous About

The room was silent for a while when a sudden loud noise came from outside.

"Where are you, Grand Duke? It's no use hiding from me. My Big Brother has informed the Emperor of Great Shang that I will be marrying you to unite our countries."

It was the voice of a tender yet strong-willed young girl. 

"Princess Wanyan, I've told you before that the Grand Duke doesn't live here. Please return to the coaching inn immediately."

Wang He's helpless attempt at convincing could be heard coming from outside.

Ling Lihua's eyes narrowed and the nervousness she had felt immediately disappeared. She glared coldly and furiously at Lu Hetian.

She said sarcastically, "Dowager Duchess, do you still think that the Grand Duke has had a hard time fighting in the battle out there? I don't think it's entirely true. He has the companionship of a pretty lady and must be enjoying himself so much that he doesn't miss anything about home."
