Reborn, Ye Qingyun watched coldly as her husband, the Cavalry General Pei Jingheng, returned from a night out at the pleasure houses only to be struck unconscious by lightning on the way home.
The scoundrel had secretly stashed a woman in the back courtyard.
She could put up with his usual coldness, but he had also been deceiving her!
She couldn’t spend another day living like this.
She would never again grovel and serve an entire household the way she had in her past life. Whoever wanted to be the virtuous wife and mother in this grand household could take the job!
As soon as Pei Jingheng woke up, she would slap a divorce letter right in his face!
*
Pei Jingheng, unconscious after being injured in the line of duty, woke to a furious tirade and was forced to open his cool, clear eyes. With a hint of affection and helplessness that was difficult to detect, he looked at Ye Qingyun. “You can’t get a divorce just by shouting.”
Ye Qingyun: ???
What had she shouted? She hadn’t made a sound since entering the room. She hadn’t even let out a couple of fake little sobs.
Pei Jingheng sat up and looked at Ye Qingyun’s tightly closed lips in confusion.
Could he hear her thoughts?
He rose and slowly walked toward her, leaning over and pinning her beneath him.
Ye Qingyun struggled.
He said, “If we divorce now, you might be the one losing out. I just earned great merit today, and His Majesty intends to grant my wife an official title...”
Ye Qingyun stopped struggling.
An official title? The wife of a First-Rank Cavalry General would be a First-Rank titled lady! And the court would pay her a stipend!
The next instant, her slender finger pressed against his chest and tapped lightly. “The general has no wife but me, right?”
The spoiled, oblivious daughter of an imperial merchant × a cunning general who delights in overhearing his wife’s candid thoughts.
[Notes]
1. Sweet romance, one-on-one, both leads are sexually inexperienced, marriage before love.
2. The heroine is reborn and changes her fate.
3. The woman hidden in the back courtyard is a misunderstanding, cleared up immediately. There are absolutely no melodramatic misunderstandings in the story, and both leads know how to communicate!
