Chapter 6 The Lady of the Marquis

Two months later,

That day, Pei An rushed back to his residence as soon as he finished the morning court session to share what he had just learned with Luo Xi.

At this moment, Luo Xi was taking a walk in the small garden of the Marquis's residence when she saw Pei An running towards her and stopped.

As soon as she saw his expression, she knew he had some gossip to tell her again.

Pei An ran to Luo Xi's side and, without even catching his breath, started chattering to her: "Madam, Qi and Lu fought a war, and Qi won."

Luo Xi: "I know that."

Pei An pulled Luo Xi to sit in the pavilion. "It is said that General Atler, like Song Bing, also brought a woman back with him."

"Isn't it a coincidence that the woman also said that everyone is equal?"

Luo Xi: "......."

Huh? Why are there so many people like this?

Also, does every general who wins a battle bring a woman back with him?

Are those generals really that lacking in vigilance? They trust and associate with just anyone.

Pei An continued, "The Emperor of Qi was mild-mannered; he did not kill General Atler and that woman."

Luo Xi frowned. "Make amends for past mistakes?"

"Because General Atler just won a battle, the Emperor of Qi dares not touch him?"

Pei An nodded. "Yes."

Luo Xi asked in confusion, "General Atler is one thing, but why did the Emperor let that woman go as well?"

Pei An frowned. "Because General Atler really likes that woman, and he wants to trade his life for hers."

"In the end, the emperor of Qi had no choice but to compromise and release the woman as well."

Luo Xi: "......Fine, General Atler is a 'devoted' man."

Pei An: "........."

He always felt that his wife's words didn't sound like something General Quattel would say.

afternoon,

Pei An and Luo Xi went for a stroll, and as they passed through a small alley, they overheard two girls talking.

"Although Lord Pei's harem is small, with only the Lady of the Marquis in the backyard."

"But I don't want to be his concubine."

Another girl asked, "Why?"

Luo Xi and Pei An stopped at the same time.

Pei An: ? ? ?

About him?

Concubine?

Even if they wanted to, he wouldn't accept them.

They spoke in hushed tones, but Pei An and Luo Xi, listening intently, still managed to hear them.

“He has no ambition at all, does nothing all day, and just drags his wife around watching the drama unfold. I don’t like that kind of person.”

Luo Xi: "........."

Pei An: "......."

Is he not ambitious? Is he really not ambitious?

Okay, there is a little bit of that.

After a while, Luo Xi and Pei An left.

Pei An clung tightly to Luo Xi's arm, looking aggrieved, and said, "Madam, I don't care what they say about me."

"But you can't think of me like that, it will make me sad." He only cared about Luo Xi's opinion of him.

"Furthermore, how could I be idle? How could I be unambitious?"

Luo Xi: "......."

Hmm? Does he have some kind of misunderstanding about himself?

She glanced at Pei An, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, "Yes, don't worry, I'm your wife, I won't miss you like that."

I think you're doing great the way you are.

Pei An felt relieved after hearing Luo Xi's words.

On the other hand, General Atler knew perfectly well that the Emperor had only let them off the hook temporarily. Later, the Emperor would definitely suppress him without hesitation.

If he doesn't do something, they'll all end up dead.
