"Yes, wife, you heard me correctly, that's exactly what I mean. Once this trip is over, the Emperor's people will be capable of taking over these matters, and I will be able to retire successfully. And our business here can still continue. I've trained several people who are now fully capable of handling things, so there's no need for me to always be personally involved. However, now that the Emperor is involved, we can only quietly make a fortune, so as not to attract unwanted attention. Even so, the profits will be substantial enough for us to earn a pretty penny."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. In truth, I've long wanted to say that our family's wealth is sufficient, and there's no need for you to take such risks, making me and the children worry every time you're away. From now on, we can live peacefully and contentedly."
"Yes, from now on, we'll live peacefully and contentedly, grounded and steadfast."
