"Old Madam."
Old Mrs. Chen walked past the government office and happened to see Qu Chengmei.
Qu Chengmei stepped forward to greet Old Mrs. Chen. Although Old Mrs. Chen held a noble title, she had long insisted that everything stay the same; otherwise, she felt uncomfortable.
Qu Chengmei said, "Did you not just return from Dai State? The journey must have been exhausting; why not take a good rest?"
Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand: "I was sitting in the carriage the whole time, not needing to walk, so how could I be tired? I've been away for a long time, so I just thought I'd come into town and have a look."
Qu Chengmei sighed: "Northward, Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou are still fine, but southwest from Qingzhou to Jingzhao Prefecture and Hezhong Prefecture are Prince Lu's troops. Previously, we received battle reports that Prince Lu has already reached Shanzhou, heading towards the Capital City."
Old Mrs. Chen said, "What about the court's troops?"
