Brother Sang's face turned red and white as he was stung by her sharp words. He turned his face away and said in a deep voice, "She will leave sooner or later. I just don't want to meddle in these things."
You don't want to get involved in other people's business of posting missing persons notices, but your sister has been implicated and dragged down by this "trivial matter," and she was even looking for a solution with a worried expression.
However, she didn't expect that this "surprise" wasn't somewhere else; it had been waiting for her at home all along.
At first, Zheng Quchi did not recognize her, because she was used to seeing realistic hand-drawn portraits and real photos in modern times. The simple line drawings of their time were somewhat inconsistent with the real people.
But one sentence from Brother Sang gave her a sudden idea.
She was someone Brother Sang rescued a few days ago. She was injured (she encountered bandits), penniless (she was robbed), and incredibly beautiful with an extraordinary air (her face bears a striking resemblance to that of the portrait painter).

Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi's eyes suddenly darkened; she now had no good feelings towards anyone who came from the Ye King's Palace.
Previously, she also thought that Princess Sheng'an was an independent and unconventional woman, not bound by worldly rules, and a new-era woman worth meeting.
But--
"As a princess of a nation, you don't care about the court, the affairs of state, the survival of the people, or the turmoil of the country. You only care about your personal feelings and indulgence. Is this what you care about?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Sheng'an laughed, a laugh that was both cold and dangerous: "You're quite bold."
