Zhao Hanzhang saw the boys lowering their heads like wilted eggplants, and raised her eyebrows, "It's fine within Xiping County, just be careful outside the county."
Zhao Ming couldn't help but turn his head and glare at her.
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, "Uncle, they are still young. It's better to have a heart for state affairs than to be obsessed with idle talk."
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Although they were astonished at her daring to rebut Zhao Ming, that didn't mean they agreed with her words. Zhao Kuan said, "Third sister, why do you speak of idle talk so disdainfully?"
Zhao Cheng also frowned and looked at her.
Zhao Hanzhang blinked and resolutely said, "Brother must have misheard; I did not speak disdainfully of idle talk."
Zhao Kuan refused to let it go, pressing, "Did the third sister's words not belittle idle talk, but instead exalt state affairs?"
Zhao Hanzhang was curious, "Are state affairs not worth exalting?"
