Even though He Su is already dead, when the name is mentioned now, both Shujun and Dong Huiying, the couple, find it quite distasteful.
"It was those two."
Shujun sighed deeply, "Back then in Taihang Town, I schemed against He Su. Luo Yang and Gao Jian escaped from the He Mansion, and Luo Yang had his eye gouged out by Pei Yu. I found the two quite pitiable and feared they would encounter danger on the road, so I had Hong Fei follow them. The tangled relationship between these three likely began around that time."
To this day, Dong Huiying can still recall the blood on the scaffold at Caishikou that day, with Pei Su being beheaded with one swift stroke and all her family assets confiscated.
Considering her crimes, originally Luo Yang and Gao Jian would have been implicated too. However, she had heard Shujun mention that the Luo and Gao families had some minor influence, which might have helped in this matter.
