Hong Fei explained her purpose.
During dinner time, Liang Shujun didn't invite Luo Yang and Gao Jian to stay for a meal, but instead directly issued an eviction order, driving the two men out of her courtyard. Though seemingly cold-hearted, perhaps out of compassion for their plight, she ultimately was moved by a sense of pity.
After the evening meal, she quietly instructed Hong Fei with a few words.
Originally, according to Liang Shujun's wishes, Hong Fei was only supposed to secretly look after Luo Yang and Gao Jian, ensuring their safety. However, having followed them for a while, perhaps out of sympathy for the two men, she had returned to Taihang Town to fetch a carriage and caught up with them again.
She said to Luo Yang, "Come aboard, I'll give you a lift."
Luo Yang was somewhat flattered. Looking at Hong Fei's tall and strong build, he didn't know why, but suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of security.
