After Beitang Mu left, Zheng Quchi, seeing that there were no outsiders around, immediately relaxed her pretense of being a general's wife. Her face turned into a bun, and she complained to Lan Yue, "Look, it's impossible to guard against all these little schemes. There isn't a single innocent person. Being a general's wife is too tiring. I still want to be a craftsman sawing wood."
Wu Liang, Kong Li, and Si Xi stood like a mural at the back, quietly watching the General's wife. Lan Yue was always close to the General's wife, and since they were both women, they naturally got along better.
When Zheng Quchi is under a lot of pressure and wants to talk to someone, he usually goes to Lan Yue.
Hearing the lady's words, Lan Yue couldn't help but find it amusing: "Madam has indeed been working very hard lately. If the general were still here..."
Lan Yue realized what she had said halfway through her sentence, frowned, and looked apologetically at the lady.
Zheng Quchi was taken aback, then smiled nonchalantly: "If he were still alive, I would definitely still be working as a small craftsman in Fuxian, trying my best to make a lot of money..." and talking to him about divorce.

She exclaimed, "Life's encounters are truly amazing."
"Madam will surely have a bright future and be of immeasurable nobility," Lan Yue said earnestly.
Zheng Quchi didn't take her words to heart, assuming that Lan Yue was trying to comfort her. She said, "The future...who knows?"
Given the current dire situation of Ye Kingdom, which is on the verge of collapse, she doesn't know how much longer she can remain as the general's wife. Her future and that of Ye Kingdom are like a maze, and she herself can't see where she will ultimately be pushed into.
"Sister, second sister—"
A cheerful shout rang out from the side, and Zheng Quchi, who was deep in thought, was suddenly brought back to her senses. She turned her head and was surprised to see Sang Yaomei standing in a street alley, waving her little hand at her, trying to get her attention.
"Little sister?"
Seeing her younger sister, Zheng Quchi was naturally happy, but before her smile could even fully bloom, it froze on her lips.
Because she saw that the man accompanying Sang Yaomei was not Sang Dage.
Instead, it was an "old acquaintance" she hadn't seen in a long time.
