C308 perverse questioning (1/2)
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.”
