Song Hong most appreciated Lady Gao's concern, his expression gentle as he said, "With the good medicine you procured, this year my leg is much better than in previous years. I was wondering why the kitchen was sending a new medicinal dish every day recently; it turns out it was your instructions. The kitchen staff had no insight and didn't inform me at all—"
"I told them not to say anything. It's really not a big deal. Lord Duke has enough troubles dealing with outside matters every day. I, being just a woman, don't understand outside affairs and can't help you with them. All I can do is manage the household well so that Lord Duke has no worries at home, and that's my heartfelt devotion," Lady Gao said with a slight smile.
The two of them continued chatting and entered the room holding hands. Song Hong took off his cloak, and Lady Gao naturally took it and handed it to the maid by her side.
