Hearing her husband's question, Xue Ya'er replied, "It's only been a few months. He is the one who donated grains, vegetables, and meat to the army. He is also the person who gave me Sha Wu Hen powder. Today, he came to sell pelts, dried mushrooms, and preserved eggs."
After a moment of pause, Xue Ya'er continued, "I promised him long-term cooperation if he was able to provide 20,000 more pelts. With a total of 30,000 pelts, the General wouldn't have to worry about the soldiers' armor anymore."
When he heard his wife's polite yet distant tone, Lu Qianxuan felt irritated. He frowned and asked, "Ya'er, I'm your husband. Must you treat me like a stranger?"
Hearing this, Xue Ya'er finally looked at him and asked, "General, you know clearly that our marriage was never based on love. I'm doing my best to fulfill my responsibility as the Matriarch."
