Yueyao smiled and said, "You don't know how lucky you are. I don't even know when Heyue will come back. If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you cry to death!" They had been apart for five years.
Mingzhu now felt extremely fortunate: "Luckily, my aunt didn't want to marry me off to a military general back then, otherwise, who knows where I'd be now?" It would be better if she could follow her husband on assignments, but those like Yueyao who stayed in the Capital City had it truly tough. Speaking of Yueyao, she was fairly well-off; at least her cousin hadn't taken a concubine, and Yueyao, waiting with her children in the Capital City, felt a bit more at ease. Other military generals always had beautiful women accompanying them on duty, with their children born out of wedlock enjoying themselves around them.
