"Something is bothering me," Shen Wan replied with a bitter smile.
Chang Zaiqing patted Shen Wan's hand and smiled. "Master, if you have anything on your mind, why don't you tell me? Perhaps I can help."
Shen Wan looked at Chang Zaiqing's stomach and said, "Forget it, your priority is to rest well at home. Don't let anything bother you. Besides, what's troubling me is related to the imperial court."
Chang Zaiqing was not discouraged. She smiled and said, "Before I moved in with you, you treated me as a confidante and would always tell me what was on your mind, be it the trivial matters at home or the matters of the imperial court. You've never been so distant. Why is it that as long as we are together, you're estranged from me?" She shook her head and said, "I'm not just a woman who only knows how to sew clothes and grow flowers in the backyard. Although I'm not very smart, it's much easier for two people to think of a solution together than one person."
