Then Zilan started going to court every day to stand up for me, and cooking for me after court. I realized he was handsome, fair-skinned, and good-tempered... So, bewitched, I did something wrong... Unable to face what I'd done, I ran back to my garrison... A few months later, Li Yuze, who'd come around: Wife! I'm hungry! Feed me!
