C309 Regret (1/2)

Hua Rong suddenly opened her eyes, sat up and said loudly: ”What happened to me? You're asking me what's wrong? I'll tell you the truth. All these years you and I have had enough of living like monks. ”Delicious clothes, extravagant food is a person's dream. I'm a woman, so it's one thing for me to not be wealthy. But my own husband is a high official, and he even wants to live a frugal life. I've had enough already …”

Hearing his wife say such words, Yue Pengju's heart was filled with grief and couldn't help but let go of her waist, and say solemnly: ”Big Sister Shi Qi, when you married me, you already knew of my character, and it wasn't until today that you found out! Li Qiaoniang, as a young lady, is still willing to live in poverty with us … ”

It was fine if he did not mention Li Qiaoniang, but at this moment, Hua Rong had almost collapsed. With a cold laugh, she said loudly, ”So I regret it! I don't want to live like this anymore. ”

”AHH!”

Yue Pengju breathed heavily as he looked at the blazing flames in his wife's eyes. He shook his head, feeling both sad and disappointed. He had never thought that his wife, who shared the same interests as him, would have such an idea.

He got up and went out, slamming the door.

Hua Rong sat up on her side and heard the rustling sounds from outside. It was the sound of Yue Pengju coughing, and then, it was Li Qiaoniang's gentle voice, ”My husband's body has not fully recovered yet. Let's drink a bowl of hot soup to rest …”

She could only hear Yue Pengju coughing and not his response. He was worried about his husband's body, but after hearing Li Qiaoniang's gentle voice, he slowly laid down and mumbled to himself, since there was another better woman that could take care of him, then he would go and take care of him.

He had spent the entire night tossing and turning, where was he supposed to sleep? When dawn arrived, he quietly got up and opened the door. Yue Pengju had already been training in the forest for a long time. He ran in and out of the forest after him, pouring tea and putting on his clothes. Under the morning sun, Hua Rong saw that Pengju was at the best age for men and Li Qiaoniang was with 18 girls. She was shocked that the two of them were extremely compatible with each other, like a hero and a beauty. It looked like the empress dowager had really put in some thought for this!

After looking a few more times, she felt her body being torn apart like a dying willow tree. Her blood surged, and as if it had touched an old wound, she quietly turned around and went back to bed. She felt a wave of dizziness.

Yue Pengju finished his morning practice, stood quietly by her wife's door for a while, and knocked on the door, but seeing that she did not respond, the aide Li Ruoxu came over to remind the military meeting that the imperial government had sent Prime Minister Zhang Jun over, awaiting to meet with the various generals. He had no choice but to run off to do business.

After the change in Liu Zhi, for various reasons, Zhao Deji did not use Qin Gui, but instead used the Zhang Jun that was originally released. Zhao Deji was extremely worried about the biggest threat, the cave Water Cock. After sending Yue Pengju out, in order to show how important he was, he asked Zhang Jun to personally oversee it.

Zhang Jun was born a scholar, so he looked down upon all martial arts students. When he saw Yue Pengju, he did not call him ”Hubby”, but called him by his rank, ”Captain Yue Tai is stationed in Dong Ting Yue, how do you use troops?”

Yue Pengju explained his plan. Zhang Jun did not understand half of it, but it was inconvenient for him to show that he did not understand it in front of these ”warriors”, so he asked them more questions. Zhang Jun then explained his views again, Yue Pengju only listened humbly, Zhang Jun was very proud of his respectful attitude.

When the discussion was over, and the sky was still dark, Yue Pengju returned to his office to discuss the arrangements and Supreme Commander Zhang Jun's matters. Just as they were discussing to their fill, they heard a guard report, ”Reporting to Yue Xiang Gong, there is a guest surnamed Qin who wishes to meet you.”

”Please come in.”

Right after he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter: ”Hahaha, Yue Pengju, have you broken through to Water Cock s?”

Seeing that it was King Qin, Yue Pengju was ecstatic, he immediately stood up and said: King Qin, why are you here?

Most of the people present were department generals who had followed Yue Pengju for a long time, especially Zhang Xian and the others. They had once fought with the King Qin at sea, so they had a deep relationship with him, and most of them stood up to meet him.

King Qin took a seat on the guest seat he had arranged for King Qin, and said loudly: ”Before I came, I went to scout out out the enemies' situation, but seeing how Yang Me has many grand ships with battleships bigger than me, I came here to see how you deal with him …”

”Alright. I would like to hear your high opinion of water battles. You are an expert in this field. ”

The King Qin was not polite and sat down to discuss with everyone. But when Yue Pengju took out a pile of sketches of Yang Me's incomplete warship, even he exclaimed: ”My five-tooth warship is not as large as Yang Me's, with such a large ship, how much money would it cost? What is Yang Me saying about being poor and rich, if he really is poor and rich, how could he afford to build such a big ship? ”

Everyone began to talk at once. After the meeting ended, Yue Pengju was extremely enthusiastic and tried his best to invite them: ”King Qin, come to my house to have a meal.”

King Qin had not seen Hua Rong for a long time, and her heart wanted to go, but after thinking about her attitude, she refused to go and say it, ”No need, I have my own home.”

At this time, Yue Pengju also thought about his wife's attitude. Furthermore, his relationship with her had been getting more and more tense recently, so he was not willing to get into a conflict with her over this matter.

King Qin turned around and Yue Pengju called out to him. King Qin saw that he wanted to say something but hesitated, and stared: ”What else do you want to say?”

Yue Pengju shook his head and said that he was fine. He had originally wanted to ask this Brother of brotherhood about it, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate so he decided to not ask.
