Mrs. Zhang feared Ruan Mian would argue with the constable and hurriedly pulled her to the back, quietly advising her.
"Mianmian, do not rush. This matter is under the orders of the Governor, perhaps... we should secretly find someone to speak to General Huo, maybe he is not yet aware of this situation."
General Huo is supposed to come and propose; even Ruan Qing is to be taken away with them. If he knew, how could he remain unresponsive?
However, Ruan Mian shook her head: "Mother, if the Governor insists on this, I'm afraid General Huo won't be able to help much."
"Previously, during the Wuheng mutiny, the former Governor fled and has been missing ever since, so there was no one in charge at Wuheng, and thus, General Huo temporarily took control as the border general."
"Now the court has issued orders, sending the Governor here, and General Huo cannot exceed his authority to confront the Governor; otherwise, he too might be implicated."
