Listening to Li Guihua, Nan Dashu quickly made a decision.
He realized that unless he was certain that Nan Yu and her three siblings would return, he could not send Li Guihua back to her maiden home. He had to keep something in his grasp; he couldn’t come away empty-handed in the end. This was the nature of Nan Dashu—he always thought first about what he could gain, rather than how he might make amends for his own mistakes.
Even after deciding he couldn’t let Li Guihua leave just yet, Nan Dashu didn't offer her a kind look. It was a golden opportunity that she had yielded, and he wasn't about to waste it. If Nan Yu and the others didn't return, having Li Guihua around to serve him just as Nan Zhi once had would be perfectly fine.
