"If someone is really dissatisfied and insists on coming to my door, and if they actually break an arm or a leg, I won't be held responsible, will I?"
Helpless, Qin Qinghuai placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and sat down opposite Jian Dan.
"I married you because I wanted to live a good life with you and I didn't want you to suffer."
The reason I'm saying this is because I understand these people's personalities. They are arrogant and conceited, but contradictory, they also possess enthusiasm, courage, and an inherent admiration for strength.
So, I didn't hide anything from them just now; these were all your spoils of war, hoping to intimidate them. Of course, it's inevitable that there will be suspicion, doubt, and even rumors. I don't deny that I used you, trying to use you to deter them. Don't you think I've caused you trouble?
Simple yet not stupid, it was clear that he intended to intimidate and establish his authority.

The next morning, Jian Dan was awakened by the shouts of the morning exercisers. She was drowsy for a while before she realized that she had moved, gotten married, and moved to a military post. There were still a lot of things waiting for her to get up and settle.
She searched the house but couldn't find the man. However, there were many familiar things in the corners, making her feel like she was in her own backyard.
Clearly, this person wasn't idle this morning either.
