Of course, the words couldn't be said openly. As Kou Shuangshuang tended to Du Haokun's wounds, she said, "Go out and tell Commander Liu's adjutant that I've already gone to bed and it's inconvenient for me to go out. However, someone did come here today.
My husband was worried about me and came to pick me up personally. Since it was already dark, it wasn't convenient to disturb the Commander. My husband will pay his respects to the Commander early tomorrow morning, so please don't take offense."
After the guard left, Kou Shuangshuang ordered the two maids to release Tian Xueli. At first, Tian Xueli was crying after being pinned down by the maids, but seeing that Du Haokun didn't express his usual concern for her and was instead focused on talking to Kou Shuangshuang, ignoring her completely, along with being held down uncomfortably by the maids, Tian Xueli gradually stopped crying.
