Yuwen Sheng clutched the candy bag tightly in his hand, but a smile remained on his face: "When did you become willing to join me? Before, didn't you think I was a ruthless killer?"
Seeing that the general and his wife were about to have a private conversation, the others quietly withdrew.
Zheng Quchi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I fear your violent temper, but I also respect your defense of the country. I fear that your hands will be stained with blood, but I also know that you are tolerant of me... Yuwen Sheng, even if we cannot be a real couple, I still hope that you will be free from illness and disaster, and live a healthy and peaceful life."
Unable to become a real... couple?
His eyes were wide open, redness tinged with malice at the corners, and a smile line appeared at the ends. He slowly raised his eyes.
"Get out."
Zheng Quchi's heart skipped a beat. She avoided his gaze, walked past him without a word, and left.
Although her words were all well wishes for him, they were also like thorns.
"Zheng Quchi, you have never seen me, so why should I pity you?"
He looked at the blood-stained candy bag in his hand. Only today did he realize that such a cheap candy bag, which she had embroidered and casually given him, was enough to make him forget life and death and turn back to take it back.

In public, he couldn't call her by her real name, lest others overhear.
"Brother Wei, if the general wants to kill me, you must save me." Zheng Quchi had a miserable face and his eyes were lifeless.
Wei Yao chuckled and asked, "How did you manage to upset the General again?"
They didn't know what kind of feelings the general had for his wife, because the general had been diagnosed by the physician as lacking emotional perception. He could never share or empathize with other people's joys and sorrows, which meant that he was incapable of loving.
But they knew how much the general valued his wife.
“It’s perfectly normal for him to be angry with me. I feel like whatever I say is wrong.”
She just wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
Wei Yao, however, felt the problem wasn't that serious. He patted her shoulder encouragingly, saying, "You just need to coax the general, and he won't be angry anymore."

What can I use to appease them?
