He kept calling her "Madam," and Liu Jue assumed the two were a loving couple. Unexpectedly, his wife did come, but upon seeing his miserable state, she didn't even blink.

Xu Changsheng, on the other hand, had tears in his eyes and was barely clinging to his life. He held onto his wife's hand and pleaded, "Please... forgive me..."

Jiang Tian didn't say whether she forgave him or not, she just smiled faintly and said, "I will take good care of myself, my husband, go in peace."

Liu Jue, listening from the side, couldn't help but glance at Jiang Tian again.

Xu Changsheng was so provoked by her words that he coughed up blood and begged Liu Jue to take care of Jiang Tian, ​​otherwise he would not be able to leave in peace.

Liu Jue naturally agreed.

He then saw Xu Changsheng struggling to persuade Jiang Tian to remarry.

Jiang Tian remained silent, appearing quite serene.

In the end, Xu Changsheng left with a dim look in his eyes.

Liu Jue still remembers his last words.

"I regret it, I regret it so much..."

He ultimately couldn't close his eyes; it was Jiang Tian who helped him.

The funeral was a grand affair, and Jiang Tian handled everything with ease, without shedding a single tear.

Liu Jue was genuinely curious about the couple, so he sent someone to investigate the matter.

After learning the whole story, Liu Jue couldn't help but look at Jiang Tian with new respect.

This woman is ruthless enough.

People who are ruthless enough will not have a bad life.

By sheer chance, Jiang Tian suited Liu Jue's temperament, and given that she was the widow of a meritorious official, Liu Jue bestowed upon her lavish rewards and even granted her a special title.

Five years have passed since we last met, and Jiang Tian is even more charming than before.

Jiang Tian said she dared not, and then got to the point: "I have come to apologize."

She then recounted what she had done at the Wei residence.

Liu Jue's eyes held a mocking glint.

Jiang Tian is very sensible in her actions.

The instruments of torture were brought up, but no torture was inflicted; the guards took him to the garrison, but no one was harmed; even when the murderer was caught, he was handed over to the authorities.

Even the punishment of the servants in the mansion was ordered by her younger sister.

As the legal wife of the Wei family and the mistress of the household, it was perfectly justified for her to deal with disobedient servants.

She only moved her lips from beginning to end, instructing her subordinates to do some things to push things along; she didn't get a drop of blood on her hands.

If you were to punish her, the most you could do is for helping her sister manage the inner quarters, which is against the rules.

Liu Jue didn't even bother to utter a word about this crime.

He calmly waved his hand: "There's no need to mention this matter. You were merely acting on behalf of Heaven and protecting your younger sister. What wrong have you done?"

Then, with a hint of interest in his tone, he asked, "You were doing just fine in the Northwest, why did you suddenly decide to live in the capital?"

Jiang Tian calmly said, "I have served the general for five years, which is my duty. Since he allowed me to remarry before his death, I naturally do not want to betray his wishes."

A glint of light flashed in Liu Jue's eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

He thought Jiang Tian would stay with him for life. This woman had received his reward and was living a carefree life in the Northwest. If she were to marry someone else, her life would not be so good.

After all, a woman who has been married twice can't find a good family.

Jiang Tian smiled gently: "I came to the capital because I wanted to take a man back with me and have another child."

Liu Jue didn't understand for a moment and asked with some confusion, "If you marry into another family, can you still return to the Northwest?"

Jiang Tian's smile remained unchanged: "I've been married once, and I don't want to marry a second time."

“A few days ago, the general appeared to me in a dream, saying that he was afraid I would be lonely in the world without any companions, so he told me to come to the capital, find a handsome and capable man to take back, have a child with him who will take my surname, and experience more of life.”

Liu Jue's mouth almost fell shut.

After a long pause, he finally said, "So you're planning to take a son-in-law as your wife?"
