Everyone knew that this white crane always followed Xu You Rong around when it was not delivering messages. Its personality was cold and prideful but right now, it was so close with Chen Chang Sheng. This meant that Chen Chang Sheng knew the white crane from way back.

So everything said in the letter was true and not an excuse. Xu You Rong wasn’t forced to follow her grandfather’s will but accepted this marriage as her wish.” *

*Translator Note: Just in case readers forgot, it was mentioned very early in the story that Xu You Rong’s grandfather was ill and Chen Chang Sheng’s master cured him. To thank his work, Xu You Rong’s grandfather made a vow to marry Xu You Rong to the master’s apprentice.
