Tang Miao said, "She stayed at the border for three days. He Qing sent someone reliable to bring her back. She's been back for half a month. He Qing rejected her."
Ye Zhou said: "He Qing is a human being after all."
Tang Miao looked at him again and said, "But my daughter has been acting like neither a human nor a ghost for the past half month. She said that if He Qing rejected her, it would be fine.
She couldn't understand why he rejected her but agreed to marry a border woman named Lan Ya. She couldn't understand why she couldn't compare to Lan Ya.

Tang Miao then asked Ye Zhou, "How old is He Qing this year? Thirty-seven or thirty-eight? Or thirty-five or thirty-six?"
