Our Commander's Wife

The guard stood his ground, a sneer playing on his lips. The woman before him was supposedly the wife of a battalion commander, yet she lacked any semblance of grace or dignity. How did the commander end up marrying such a shortsighted woman? No wonder he remained a mere battalion commander at his age, clearly lacking discernment.

Zhang Mei entered the ward, her eyes landing on Gong Zhan. She didn't even bother to check on her son-in-law's condition before launching into her complaints. 

"Gong Zhan," she began, "I am, after all, Lin Miao's mother, your mother-in-law. I'm nearly driven to death by that wretched girl, Gu Zi. How could she behave like this? Taking advantage of Lin Miao's imprisonment, she has the audacity to come here pretending to be your wife, blatantly trying to steal another woman's husband. You cannot let her continue this way!"
