Gongyang Puyu was greatly alarmed. He exclaimed, "Young master, you mustn't think like that. The so-called Red Simurgh is the auspicious star governing marriage, and it requires both parties to be willing for it to result in matrimonial bliss through proper channels. If one side is unwilling and forced, it turns the Red Simurgh into an evil omen!"
"Red Simurgh as an evil omen? What happens then?"
Gongyang Puyu's lips trembled as he finally managed to say sixteen words: "Family shattered, reputation destroyed! Plans fruitless, life worse than death!"
The severity of these words startled Huangfu Yuxuan.
He almost did this the day before yesterday. No, he already did it. If he hadn't underestimated Xia Wenjin and let her escape, she might already be in his mansion.
He felt immensely vexed for the beating he endured. Could this perhaps be a blessing in disguise?
