C308 perverse questioning

Sis GaoSi was disappointed, but just as she was about to say something, Hua Rong had already said goodbye.

The moment she turned around, the woman behind her started chattering in a low voice:

"Madame Yue is truly beautiful. She's almost thirty years old, and there's not a single trace of her old self left …"

Another person said, "She has never given birth before, so she can't work as hard as we do. Naturally, she doesn't look like an old woman …"

"Keep your voice down. Look, Li Qiaoniang is here. "

"Ah?" Yue Xiang Gong's Madam Ru has come? From Servant's point of view, this Li Qiaoniang has a face full of blessings. Mother is precious, in the future, he will definitely receive Yue Xiang Gong's favor, and surpass Madame Yue … "

"What nonsense are you all spouting? Madame Yue is a heroine and a hero. She is a Mrs. Guo under the imperial government's title, how can a mere Madam compare him? "

"So what if you're a Mrs. Guo? "If you can't have children, then you're not as good as Madam. Don't you know that if you're not filial, you have no future?"

Hua Rong heard the discussion, and felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart, she quietly stopped behind a big tree, but seeing that Li Qiaoniang was already dressed properly, she walked towards the crowd, and were welcomed by the ladies, with an extremely intimate expression.

She was at a loss for a moment, thinking, Li Qiaoniang is more suited to this life than her. Since that was the case, why wouldn't he grant her wish?

Son, give birth to a child. This is the threshold of marriage, and if you can't cross it, then even Heavenly Immortals will only be a fake flower.

Yue Pengju was the highest-ranking general during the Zhi Zhou birthday banquet, so he naturally became an important guest. Xu Yi from the State of Zhi Zun continuously poured wine for him. The other generals and local officials also came one after another to toast.

Because the seating arrangement was for men and women, Yue Pengju did not notice that his wife had not come. Later on, Xu Yi's wife came in to toast him. He was still very happy when he continuously praised how dignified and virtuous his wife was.

He drank merrily that day and then returned in the evening. When he took his leave, he realized that it was Li Qiaoniang who was waiting respectfully at the door, bidding farewell to Xu Yi's wife and concubine. Yue Pengju finally understood that his wife had not come.

Li Qiaoniang saw that his face was extremely dark, and said gently: "Hubby, let's go."

Yue Pengju drunkenly followed her and walked back. After walking for a while, he angrily said: "Why didn't you come here, Madam?"

Li Qiaoniang had never seen him this angry before, so she anxiously said: "Madam said that she wants to go to the city to get the custom-made clothes, she said that the tailors' skills are good, and there are a lot of people queuing up, so I'm afraid we can't wait, and she asked Servant to replace him …" She said while wiping her tears, "Servant knows that her status is low and overstepping the boundaries. Please forgive me, my lord …"

Yue Pengju said gloomily: It is Madam that has ordered this of you, what crime do you have?

Li Qiaoniang dried her tears and laughed, "Thank you for your forgiveness, my husband." In the blink of an eye, she saw that the wild flowers ahead of her had bloomed very well. Suddenly, she hopped over to pick them, and passed them to Yue Pengju.

Even though she was also dressed simply today, she was not shabby at all. Her hands were nimble as he made himself an exquisite Skirt. Seeing her laughing and crying like a little girl, Yue Pengju quickly took a step back and shook his head: "No, don't..."

She stubbornly pouted with an extremely cute expression. "Husband, take it …"

Not far away, Zhang Xian and the Sis GaoSi looked at the two people in front of them.

Zhang Xian also lowered his voice, "Why do I feel that something's wrong?"

Sis GaoSi rolled her eyes, "Li Qiaoniang is gentle and virtuous, a rare good woman. Furthermore, she is young and beautiful, it is normal for Yue Xiang Gong to like her."

"But in my opinion, Pengju would not easily fall in love with other women. It's a pity that Madame Yue, such a talented woman, why would the heavens treat her like this? "

Sis GaoSi also sighed, "They all say that women have lost their lives. Maybe it was because the Madame Yue was too great, and everything was first-rate, so the heavens had to give her a weakness. Honestly speaking, in these few days, Madame Yue was truly the most virtuous one. She was kind and kind to Li Qiaoniang, but she was not a Jealousy. If it were not for the fact that I helped the Yue Clan burn their hearts, Yue Xiang Gong really shouldn't have taken in concubines … "

Zhang Xian shook his head, the couple both sighed.

Because Li Qiaoniang had relieved their boredom, the two of them chatted and laughed all the way home.

Yue Pengju saw that the house was still dark, his wife had not come back yet. The slight comfort in his heart quickly faded. No matter how obediently Li Qiaoniang comforted him, she could not suppress the rage that was about to erupt. She decided to move a chair and sit at the entrance to see when his wife would return. Seeing the anger on his face, Li Qiaoniang didn't dare to show any more gentleness. She went to grab a book, lit the lamp, and said softly, "Hubby, just wait."

"NO!" "You can leave."

"Servant obeys. Servant will go prepare some refreshments for Madam. "

"No need, she already ate outside."

At this time, Hua Rong was sitting on top of a big tree in front of her house, condescendingly watching the two entering. They chatted and laughed as they returned together. It was as if a ladle of cold water was poured through their hearts. The weather in early summer was actually as cold as the winter and the moon.

After a while, she quietly descended from the tree, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door.

There was a man standing in the doorway, staring at her. She smiled faintly: "Pengju, what are you doing?"

Yue Pengju forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart, sized up her newly changed light green clothes, and said sullenly: "Why don't you go to the banquet today?"

Hua Rong said casually: "I'm going to get some clothes."

"Take clothes? Is clothes really that important? "

"Peng Ju, what's wrong with you? "I'm not going, and I've already told Mother Qiao to go on my behalf. Why are you making a big fuss over nothing?"

Yue Pengju was flustered: "Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Big Sister Shi Qi, what's going on with you recently? "

"Nothing? Am I not allowed to walk around? "

Yue Pengju was still patient: "If you have something to say, you must tell me. We are husband and wife, what can't be resolved? Sister Shi Qi, you weren't like this in the past … "

"What was I like before?" She asked with a smile, "When I met you, you were in your official residence. Is it wrong for me to change my lifestyle?" She straightforwardly said, "Pengju, I've used up all one hundred taels of gold and used your thousand slots of salary …"

At that time, a thousand gold coins was the equivalent of a year's worth of food and clothing for an average family. Ever since Yue Pengju had reunited with Hua Rong, regardless of whether it was before or after the marriage, all of the salary were arranged by his wife. Both of them did not like extravagance, so other than the year when Hua Rong was injured and needed to buy Lingzhi for treatment, more than ninety percent of Yue Pengju's salary were used to supplement military needs. Now that his wife had squandered a thousand kungfu without even blinking, he did not know what kind of scene it was. She could not help but raise her voice a little, "Sister Shi Qi, it must be known that wartime is difficult, but how many warriors lack food and clothes? Have you forgotten the hardships of the past?"

Hua Rong's eyes were filled with disappointment as she lightly said, "I originally thought that following you would eventually bring me the suffering, but who would've thought that …"

The meaning behind her words was actually to blame himself for not letting her live a life of wealth and prosperity. In the end, Yue Pengju was still young and vigorous, and his voice grew louder, "I never expected that you would actually be such a person …"

She retorted, "What kind of person am I? A man marrying a man and dressing himself to eat? Was this also wrong? For the sake of being able to bestow upon you the title of Wife, isn't that what a man wants? " After she finished speaking, she walked into the room, refusing to say another word.

Yue Pengju held his forehead, but felt a headache. He had been busy with military matters these past few days and had yet to fully recover from the cold. However, not only did his wife not greet him, she was instead obsessed with fine clothes and fine wine and delicious food every day. What had made her so vulgar?

He pressed his forehead and heard the soft voice behind him, "Master, please drink a bowl of hot soup …"

Li Qiaoniang had already changed into a new set of clothes. Yue Pengju shook his head, not in the mood to drink any hot soup. He only said, "Mother Qiao, you are feeling wronged here. I have seen many unmarried young officers in the army camp, so I will choose your wife for you. It will not affect your youth …"

Tears rolled down Li Qiaoniang's cheeks, "Servant only wants to serve my husband and wife, I absolutely do not dare to anger the two of you. 'Is Madam … '

Yue Pengju shook his head: "It's none of Madam's business. It's all because of lower official's mess with the Housework."

Li Qiaoniang dried her tears and said: "Servant will definitely serve Madam twice as much in the future."

Hua Rong leaned on the door, listening to the duo's conversation, and his heart hurt even more. In her panic, she seemed to understand that it was not that he was not good enough, but that she was not worthy of him, which would cause him to become "extinct" — no matter how outstanding a woman was, when she encountered this kind of thing, she would feel inferiority and inferiority to the point of being deeper and deeper, like a viper that had fallen into the bottom of her heart. When she initially wanted to restrain her emotions and her husband to solve the problem slowly, she couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw Li Qiaoniang talking to him.

It was already late into the night.

Yue Pengju sat at the door for a long time, with his heart in a knot, coughing for a long time. She and Hua Rong had known each other for many years, and the two of them had always been very intimate, there were almost no times of awkwardness between them. Especially after getting married, Hua Rong would always follow him, following his every word. Although there was the argument that King Qin came over to have, at that time, he knew what was on her mind and how to resolve it. However, this time, watching her wife change day by day, it was as if from the very first day she left the capital, something had happened that she did not expect. What was the reason for this?

He was also very frightened. He was invincible on the battlefield and could plan things accordingly, but in the Housework s, especially his wife who was always obedient, it was hard to understand. He was even more anxious and could only vaguely feel uneasy.

Although he was infuriated and did not think that he had done anything wrong, he had been unable to do anything to his wife ever since she got angry. After a moment of silence, he pushed the door open and entered. The room was pitch black. He lit the lamp and sat down next to his wife. He hugged her and spoke softly, "Sister Shi Qi …"

Hua Rong just closed her eyes and did not say anything.

He sighed, "Sister Shi Qi, let's have a good talk."

Hua Rong's heart felt sour, but she said indifferently: "Just say what you want to say."

He was relieved when his wife spoke. He placed his hand on her cheek and said sincerely, "I have been busy with military matters these days and have no time to accompany you. If you're depressed, you can come with me to the side to listen in on the participation, just like before. "

"I'm not interested."

Yue Pengju was stunned by her harsh words, but he continued to speak gently, "Your personality has changed greatly recently, what's going on?"
