Xie Huai'an's eyes curved slightly: "You're just acting in place of Lady Qin, what's so cruel about it?"
"Haven't we seen much more cruel things than this?"
On the road to exile, even if she hadn't witnessed it herself, as a woman, she could protect her family, find refuge amidst chaos, and even lead so many people to live peacefully.
The cruel things she has experienced wouldn't be few, just thinking about it, one can imagine the numerous difficulties they've been through.
As the night wind gradually rose, Xie Huai'an draped a cloak over her, gazing at her seriously, speaking frankly. "I know you're not an ordinary woman, and you also have secrets you can't share with me, but... those things are unimportant to me, and I don't care."
"I only care about whether you're safe, whether you're happy. At the same time, I'm grateful that you're smart, capable, even if I have to leave for a while someday, I won't have to worry incessantly every day."
