"Luo'er understands, my husband. Don't worry, during the time you're away, I will definitely study the affairs of the Marquis's mansion well and try my best not to embarrass you."
"Silly girl! You're so smart, you won't embarrass your husband. From now on, if you need to go out of the manor on business, be sure to tell Zhuying to come with you. Don't make your husband worry about you."
