“Cousin, I was forced into this situation! I had no other choice. If I didn’t listen to Ma Chongning, I would be sidelined and abandoned.”
That's no excuse for harming people!
“Where can I, a weak woman, find refuge? Besides, Ma Chongning is threatening me with my two children. If I don’t obey him, he will use them as pawns.”
It seems that no matter the era, women need to be independent to have a voice!
"Do you think we border generals are pushovers? That we're afraid of the Ma family messing with us?"
