”This old man has a plan. If Qin Gui were to make a comeback, he will expose his scandal in the public and tell the world about this wretched couple's shameful affair. In that case, people will suspect and rumors will spread everywhere. He will definitely take it well …”

Hua Rong wanted to shout good, but held back. Yue Pengju laughed and nodded.

King Qin secretly saw that Hua Rong's expression was indifferent, he thought, if you ignore me, I won't be looking for you, I'm only talking to Yue Pengju, the little brat.

At this time, the food was already prepared, Yue Pengju immediately said passionately: King Qin, let's eat first, it's getting late, you can rest here for tonight.

”Alright, laozi is panicking due to the hunger.”

Yue Pengju looked at his wife. He had thought that she would immediately instruct him to prepare a room that would be as gentle and obedient as usual, but instead saw her expressionless face and ice-cold gaze. She said lightly: ”King Qin, you may leave.”

King Qin had already made up his mind since the night before, as long as he could protect her and make her safe and sound this time, he would leave. However, in the end, there was a faint desire and expectation in his heart, especially when he saw her occasional smile after entering the door. Although it wasn't directed at him, he was secretly happy, and his heart floated up to a tiny bit of hope. He only wanted, as long as she was like this, and as long as she didn't fall out with him, even if he had to live another life for her, and even if it would be because of her, protecting a person like Zhao Deji who despised him, he would not refuse.

However, listening to Yue Pengju leaving him to eat, he wanted to experience it again, even if it was the last time, how considerate she was in serving him food. That hazy feeling made him feel that he was his wife, like it was the wish of a family. However, it was not the warmth from his memories. Rather, it was so cold that it was like ice.

His heart turned cold and he coughed before shifting his gaze to somewhere else.

It was only then that she recalled that when King Qin came over, Hua Rong did not greet him like she used to. He tried to say, ”Everyone go eat first …”

Hua Rong was still unmoved as she glanced at the King Qin: ”I only prepared food for two people, there's no excess.”

Yue Pengju was even more surprised, the food outside was plentiful, with a King Qin, it was enough, when did his wife become so petty, and start speaking nonsense? He could not help but secretly pull at his wife's hand. ”Sister Shi Qi …”

Hua Rong ignored him and shook off his hand. She did not look at him, nor did she look at King Qin as she said coldly: ”I don't want to eat with outsiders. If you want to eat it, eat it yourselves. ”

King Qin only felt a chill from head to toe, chilling to the core. He understood that the little girl was going to be completely cut off from him. King Qin could not stay any longer, his chest was rising and falling rapidly as he said angrily: ”Hua Rong, you don't have to be like this, I do not care about this meal of yours …”

She sneered and did not speak again.

King Qin turned and left.

Yue Pengju found it embarrassing to open his mouth to urge him to stay again, and only after seeing him walk out the door did he turn his gaze towards his wife and ask in a low voice: ”What happened to you?”

”Nothing!”

”King Qin has good intentions as well. He's been very helpful to us this time. Since he sent us news, why can't we even have a single meal? ”

She replied stiffly, ”I don't need his good intentions, and I don't want to see him again. Why are you making him eat?”

Yue Pengju had never seen his wife act so arrogantly before. He was stunned for a moment before slowly saying, ”There is something bad about the King Qin, but he has worked so hard these past few days …”

Hua Rong was suddenly furious, the grievances that were suppressed at the bottom of her heart gushed out together, and she loudly said: ”What hard work does he have? He deserved it. He beat me so badly that I couldn't bear to have children, not like a woman, who would walk around in front of me every day, and I hated him when I saw him. Can't I hate him? I hate him. That's right, I'm so narrow-minded, I don't want to work with him, I don't want to see him, and I don't care about any news of him. He is doing this for Zhao Deji, not me. If you want to eat, ask Zhao Deji to invite him to eat … ”

Fortunately Yue Pengju had already sent everyone off and shut the door tightly, so even if she was angry, her voice was still softer. However, the more they said it, the more it sounded unsightly it was,. Yue Pengju and his wife had always loved each other, but they could not tolerate her not being able to differentiate good from bad, so they were slightly angered and whispered: ”Today's situation is tense, King Qin is a pirate that can still look at the bigger picture.

”Yes, I am worse than a pirate. I don't care about anything. ”All of you are men who do great things. You all have high realms, but I don't want to work with my enemies anymore …”

”King Qin is not an enemy! Even if he did do something, it would most likely cancel him out! ”

”Cancel? It would be a set-off for you. Not to me. You can also take in concubines and have children for you, but what about me? My life is ruined. Don't you want to have your own blood and blood? If you can't take a concubine this year and a concubine next year, what about five years later? And ten years later? ”At that time, I will become a sinner, a sinner who will put an end to your burning incense, a sinner who will be despised by you, a sinner who will grow old with no end in sight …”

Before she could finish, she turned and rushed into her bedroom, and closed the door with a bang. When Yue Pengju went to open the door, he found that she had already locked it from the inside, and could not even open the door.

This was the first time in more than ten years that the two of them had a dirty argument. Yue Pengju was so angry that he sat on the chair for a while. He did not understand what was going on, what kind of change had occurred, for his wife to suddenly become so crazy?

Weren't they still fine a few days ago? She had even fried tea for King Qin. Why did they become enemies today?

He had always believed that he and his wife, regardless of whether they were reunited or separated, shared the same thoughts and feelings. It was only today that he realized that he didn't understand what she was thinking at all.

She could not bear children, and he had never despised her. Besides, he already had a cute son, so it didn't matter whether he gave birth to her or not. He let out a long sigh. Suddenly, he remembered that her son had remained at the palace as a ”hostage.” Even though she wasn't her biological father, Hua Rong had great feelings for her son.

Even so, wasn't he worried? To be able to save Zhao Deji with his urgent dispatch of troops, naturally, he could also save her son. There was no need for her to vent all her anger on the King Qin!

After a long time, there was no response from the guards. They carefully asked, ”Sir, let's eat …”

He shook his head. Originally, he was extremely hungry, but now, he had no appetite at all. He only said, ”Go and heat up the dishes first. Madam is not feeling well. I'll wait for her to rest and eat together with her.”

”Yes.”
