Lan Qiongzhen stepped out from the side, teasing Chu Qingning, "You're so fixated on him, do you admire the general?"
Chu Qingning's brow immediately furrowed, and she responded sternly, "He's my brother-in-law, and I already have a husband. Don't spout nonsense."
If someone overheard this and spread it around, how would they face others or each other in the future?
Lan Qiongzhen, trying to smooth things over, cooed as she clung to Chu Qingning's arm, "Alright, alright, I spoke without thinking. Don't be mad, I won't say it again."
Chu Qingning looked at Lan Qiongzhen, who bore a resemblance to her fifth sister but was far less sensible. She gently removed Lan Qiongzhen's arm, "I have work to do, you stay here."
With that, she walked away.
Watching Chu Qingning's departing figure, Lan Qiongzhen's expression darkened, "Who do you think you are to treat me like that!" Her face quickly shifted back to a smile as she followed after Chu Qingning.
