This matter was well known to Feng Qingxue who had read history books, and it was also clear to Jiang Xiaoyue who lived in the big courtyard; she anxiously hastened to say in a low voice, "Bai Xue, you mustn't discuss such matters. These are not topics we can debate about. Be careful, walls have ears!"
Innumerable couples were formed for a revolutionary cause during the resistance war; there was more than one Su Junshu who followed the example of the behavior of higher rank officials.
Hence, everybody was aware and understood this matter but couldn't voice it out.
Yes, indeed. Jiang Xiaoyue pitied those original spouses who were left behind in their hometowns, living or dead, but what could she do? Her mother hadn't even conceived her at that time. Now, when she has grown up, she can't say or do anything about this. Even her father, who abhors evil so deeply, doesn't allow her to comment on this matter in private, for fear of incurring resentment from others.
