In this life, I meant to help you enjoy all the glory and riches you could wish for. Who knew fate had such hardships in store? On one side were the common people, and on the other, the love I left behind in my previous life.
You were always a hopeless fool. How could you possibly shoulder the fate of this realm?
Sigh! Fine, fine, fine! Through gritted teeth and with tears in my eyes, I'll let you down one more time!
When they first married, whenever Li Jin thought of the shrew at home, he'd curse her in front of all his brothers.
"Termagant!"
Later, after he'd made a name for himself, someone came to offer advice.
"The general is a young prodigy, but it's a shame that a termagant rules the household. She obeys neither the Three Obediences nor the Four Virtues. Why not divorce her and marry a refined, respectable lady instead?"
On hearing this, Yan Qisheng flew into a rage and drove the butt of his spear into the man's ribs.
"Ugh..."
"Enough of your nonsense! Get out of here, now! If even a word of this reaches my wife's ears, I'll take your miserable life!"
If my wife hears about this, she might happily kick me out of the house. What a terrible injustice that would be!
"General, why are you so afraid of your wife?"
"What a joke! Since when am I afraid of my wife? As the saying goes, a man should never cast off the wife who stood by him in hard times. How could a man of my noble character abandon his proper wife after making it big..."
Right! That must be it... I... I'm just... just taking pity on that shrew. She's old and faded, and... and so stubborn. Who else would want her but me?
The shrew, Mu Hongluan, sat at the head of the room, gently skimming the tea leaves from her cup. She took a sip, set it down, and sighed in disappointment.
"Why won't he listen? How nice it would be if he divorced me!"
