Excuse you, Astarion, that story was amazing, and you should be grateful to Shen Luguang for providing you with such a comprehensive peak into the recent history and values of this world! And honestly, who cares if the official story isn't entirely accurate? Historical accuracy is for dry annals and dusty debates; of scholarly interest to be sure, but little to do with the daily attitudes of the people or the running of the country!
Ah, but one could hardly expect a foreigner to understand such niceties right off the bat. In any case Shen Luguang quickly forgets to be sulky, because something far more important catches his eye: namely the smooth way Liu Feiyu got them into the city. What's that all about??
"Da-shixiong is so well-connected!" he exclaims, keeping a hand on Astarion's arm (and inadvertently towing him along) to make sure he doesn't get separated and lost as they enter a bustling city street. "How fortunate A-Si and I were to cross his path." Could he be one of those Lius? A distance cousin of the Second Wife, perhaps? But then why would he be so against going to court? Unless it's a false name...
