Madam Leng immediately asked, "Han, is your wife also in Kyoto? Where does she stay?"
Dongchen answered seriously, "She lives in Yiyuan near Kyoto University. General, Madam, I will take my leave now."
Dongchen left them after giving a standard military salute.
After seeing him off, Madam Leng returned and scolded Leng Zhiguo, "Zhiguo, Han's wife is also in Kyoto. Why didn't you tell me?"
Sitting on the sofa with a calm air about him, Leng Zhiguo took a sip of tea and said, "Does it matter whether she's here or not?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Leng sighed, "How could it be the same? They're young and newly married. How can you be so indifferent, not caring whether or not you come home for dinner?"
"Their separation caused by work, not being able to eat dinner together, surely it's uncomfortable for Dongchen. His wife must feel the same."
Hearing this, Leng Zhiguo furrowed his brows and said, "What's there to be uncomfortable about? Doesn't he go home every night anyway?"
