Yuan Xingzhou listened to her defend Yuwen Sheng in life and insist on demanding things after his death. She had always been a kind-hearted person, but she was not a philanthropist without any bottom line. There were very few people for whom she would risk everything, except for her family and those who had been kind to her. And now, Yuwen Sheng might have become one of those people she had included in her family circle.
Upon hearing this, She Kou remained silent for a moment before saying, "Zheng Quchi, I did look down on you before, but now I admire you. Compared to those cowards in Ye, you are both brave and loyal. However, this is not something you can accomplish by just saying a few sentimental words."

Zheng Quchi listened to the attacks, ridicule and mockery from different voices, but she didn't even blink. She said calmly, "You are all quite capable. You are cowardly to outsiders but domineering and trampling on your own. If I can't do it, then who among you dares to stand up and do it?"
