"If even I don't believe it, then others certainly won't believe it either."
Seeing the other party remain silent, a hint of sorrow appeared on her face: "Your Highness, I know that I was found by the Second Master before, and such a thing happened between the Second Master and you... so you don't trust me as much as you trust Consort Liu and Consort Chu."
"Whether the Duke believes it or not, I have always regarded you as my husband. Only when you are doing well can I share in your glory."
“These past two days you’ve been frequently visiting Chu Ji’s courtyard, seemingly discussing something. But whatever it is, with such a commotion, it’s bound to get out of the way. If something is discovered, you won’t be able to help your wife, and you’ll be in danger yourself.”
Zuan sighed, realizing that none of these women were easy to deal with. Although he didn't say it directly, he had clearly guessed something.

At this point, Zuan changed his clothes and personally escorted them out of the city.
The Jian family had been operating in Yunzhong County for many years and naturally had their own trusted confidants. One of the generals guarding the city in the west was one of their men.
It had never been used before, but was activated at this critical moment.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the general secretly allowed Zu'an's convoy to leave the city.
The Jian family members breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could even rejoice, several groups of people quickly surrounded them from all directions.
"Shouldn't the Duke be at home recuperating from his injuries? Is he rushing out of the city to deliver something important?" Xu Yu rode out of the procession, looking as if he had been waiting for you for a long time.
