Lou Shixun was stunned, but he quickly swore, "A loyal subject? I have always been loyal to His Majesty. I am a loyal subject through and through!"
Liang Wan shook her head. "You are an intelligent man, Great General. Why play dumb with me? Or do you believe you can trifle with your own life and fortune?"
Lou Shixun said, "How could I possibly trifle with my own life—"
'He really won't give up until he hits a wall.'
Liang Wan scoffed lightly. "It's only been a few days, and the Great General has already gotten ahead of himself."
Lou Shixun said sheepishly, "Your Ladyship, you truly wrong me with those words. Haven't I already followed your and His Majesty's orders and proven that the blood letter submitted by the Lou Family was a fake? Is such an act of placing righteousness before family not a sign of my loyalty to His Majesty?"
