"Eh? Sister Liu Shui, you're leaving?"
Tushan Jing Ci said, surprised.
"Yes."
Liu Shui nodded gently, a hint of resignation in her expression.
"My second uncle started a rather large business over in Ironhawk City, in the Liang Kingdom. He's been short on trustworthy relatives lately, so he wrote to us. My mother is insisting on going to see him, saying she has to go and help. I have no other choice but to go with her."
It was true that Liu Shui's second uncle had struck it rich.
But Liu Shui knew in her heart that her mother's insistence on going to rely on her second uncle wasn't just about living a better life. The more important reason was that her uncle had mentioned in his letter that there were a few good families there and he wanted to arrange a marriage for her.
Her mother's heart was set the moment she heard, and she was determined to take her daughter to have a look.
Liu Shui couldn't win an argument against her mother.
