“Yueru has been with me for two years, and she traveled a great distance to come back to the capital with me. I cannot let her suffer indignity, so tomorrow, when I report to His Majesty, I intend to ask him to grant Yueru the status of a co-wife.”
Hearing this, Shen Wanqing gave a cold laugh inwardly. She had traveled a great distance to come here? They had been together for two years?

“After returning from an absence of four years, the general makes no inquiries and simply decides to give Miss Liu the status of co-wife. Is that not an insult to me?”

Don't know what to say. . .
