"Have you been drinking, my husband?"
Qin Yuan's voice was soft and gentle; what was clearly a simple question sounded like she was being coquettish.
Gu Jinghui's voice softened as he complained, "Of course, why did you stay at Mother's for so long?"
The tone was extremely intimate.
Qin Yuan approached with a smile and said, "My mother kept me here to talk for a while."
At first glance, one could see that Zhao Niangzi was dressed in plain clothes, with a small white flower in her hair. Her face, flushed with a sickly redness, was covered with tear stains. She was swaying precariously, as if she couldn't stand up, with two children of similar height beside her.
These are the twins, a boy and a girl.
The two looked very alike, both wearing plain-colored silk shirts; the boy was more heroic, while the girl was gentler.

Zhao Niangzi was of medium build, suggesting that her father was tall and had a sturdy appearance.

The two children weren't good at hiding their emotions and were staring at her with hostile eyes.
Clearly, in their eyes, she was the bad person who stole their "father" and made their mother sad and heartbroken.

Zhao Niangzi swayed as if she was about to fall to the ground.

Zhao Niangzi's tears welled up suddenly, and she choked out, "Madam, I... I have a request for the Marquis. I only ask that you put aside past grievances and put in a good word for me with him, so that even for the sake of the two children, he won't be so heartless towards me."
