Having heard what his beloved niece had to say, Ruo Hai felt a bit more at ease.
He wasn't interested in marriage, but if he had to do it, he hoped to marry a virtuous and kind-hearted girl to avoid bringing a contentious shrew into the family that would make their lives miserable forever.
After all, he was often in the barracks, so his wife would spend most of her time with his family.
For now, he was just a Chiliarch, training and taking turns defending the border every day, only able to return home for five days every three months when the guards were rotated—and that was when there were no military conflicts and the neighboring countries were keeping to themselves.
If there were any special circumstances, it was possible he wouldn't be able to return even once a year.
Only after he was promoted to a sixth-rank Deputy General or higher would he be able to have a few days at home each month.
