When Yu Ze returned, Muniang noticed his complexion was somewhat off. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing, just that some news arrived from the Capital City," he replied.
Muniang felt a sudden weight in her heart. "What happened? Has there been some bad turn of events?"
Yu Ze, seeing how startled Muniang looked, didn't want to scare her with his speculations and simply said, "I heard my father is furious. If I were in the Capital City right now, he would surely apply the family discipline directly to me. When we go back to the Capital this time, I'm afraid punishment is inevitable."
Muniang rolled her eyes at him with annoyance. "And to think you're a General. Scared of a beating, are you?"
Yu Ze, with a smirk, pulled Muniang into his arms. "Right, I am scared. I don't care; it's because of you that I'm going to be beaten. When the time comes, you must accompany me back. I'm afraid to go alone."
Muniang's face was filled with resignation. Scared my foot.
