"You're leaving?" Ling Kong was surprised.
"Yes, boosting morale is important, but education is also crucial. After all, acquiring true knowledge is how I can contribute to the country in the future. That's my greatest ambition."
"The Duke's daughter is truly an ambitious woman, that's commendable."
Ling Kong showed an expression of appreciation, smiling thoughtfully.
"If you can continue the Duke's legacy in the future, you will undoubtedly become a heroine in military and political fields."
Lie Fengzi felt a surge of joy in his heart and beamed with delight. He truly valued strong, independent women — what did that countryside girl have to compare to him?
"I have to leave now, both as a farewell and to celebrate your promotion today, Young Master Ling Kong. I'll offer you a few drinks."
Lie Fengzi tidied the table, smiled, and poured two generous glasses of wine with an expression full of admiration and grandeur.
