Xie Xun's hands trembled as he held the letter. Second Brother got married in Beiman? Married? His sister-in-law is a Beiman woman, so that's why Second Brother has been tight-lipped about him and Fang Chuning? Second Brother actually got married in Beiman!!! It must have been a helpless move. So what if he bowed to their Heavenly God? The Beiman people might recognize it, but he doesn't. Why should Beining recognize Beiman's Heavenly God? And Second Brother kept this marriage a secret for so long. Wait, who is his wife? General Cui's letter didn't make that clear at all. It's maddening!
Dugu Jing must know!
In the dead of night, Xie Xun summoned Dugu Jing into the palace. Dugu Jing thought something must have happened in Beiman and rushed over in a hurry, only to find Xie Xun asking about Xie Jue's marriage.
Dugu Jing frowned, silent, his expression betraying barely concealed disdain, as if a marriage between a Beiman person and someone from Beining was an unforgivable crime.
