"Mr. Zhou." Liu Qinghuan bowed politely, but did not even look at the woman.

It was undoubtedly the girl from Ying Country. She was indeed pleasing to the eye and had a docile demeanor, which must have been exactly what Master Zhou wanted.

Mr. Zhou laughed awkwardly and said, "Ali is at home. I have something to do outside, so I won't be accompanying you."

"Master Zhou, take care."

Liu Qinghuan entered the Zhou Mansion, crossed the front yard, turned left and right, and found Jiang Li's yard.

Seeing how concerned Mr. Zhou was today, he was afraid that the concubine was already pregnant. This was truly proven to be Jiang Li's fault, and Jiang Li must have felt even more upset.

"It's Miss Liu. My wife misses you every day." The maid at the door saw Liu Qinghuan and hurriedly led her in. She heard Jiang Li's voice before she entered the room.

"It's Qing Huan, but now she's here, it really makes me anxious to death."

When Liu Qinghuan saw Jiang Li, he noticed that she didn't seem to be worried.

"I heard that you followed General Ye to the battlefield? I heard that there was a battle on Baijiao Island, and I couldn't find you in Yuncheng. I was scared." Jiang Li held Liu Qinghuan's hand, and the concern on his face was not fake.

Liu Qinghuan consoled him, "I was just doing my old job in the barracks, ensuring the soldiers had good food. I didn't actually go to the battlefield. I know my limitations."

"It's dangerous enough in the military camp. How can you be so brave, girl?"

Originally, Liu Qinghuan wanted to enlighten Jiang Li, but unexpectedly, Jiang Li ended up lecturing her.

Although she called her Sister Li, Jiang Li was a generation older than her, so Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to listen.

Seeing Liu Qinghuan's nonchalant look, Jiang Li felt helpless and said, "I'm glad you're back safely. I was really scared these past two days."

"How are the off-season vegetables? I'm going to Suzhou soon. If you have any questions, please tell me as soon as possible to avoid wasting time." Liu Qinghuan changed the subject.

"Your recipe is very detailed. It's been less than a month and the seedlings are growing well." Jiang Li's face was naturally full of smiles when he mentioned this.

"It's enough to control the temperature during the seedling stage. As the seedlings grow, the length of sunshine and the high and low temperatures must be controlled. This is the most important thing."

"I know, I know. The prescriptions you gave me are all marked in detail. I will never go wrong if I follow your prescriptions." Jiang Li trusts Liu Qinghuan very much. Maybe it is because Zhuangzi's affairs are going smoothly, so the corners of his mouth are almost grinning from ear to ear.

"Okay, I have some plastic sheeting here. I'll have someone bring it over before I leave. If you have the spare capacity, you can use it to expand the area."

"Okay," Jiang Li agreed readily. Only then did Liu Qinghuan confirm that Zhuangzi was really fine. "You too, you just came back from the battlefield and you're already rushing to Suzhou City. You didn't even take a couple of days to rest."

Liu Qinghuan added, "Isn't this just a matter of time? Since we're still young, we should give it our all. It doesn't matter if we get a little tired."

Jiang Li agreed very much after hearing this and added, "That's right. Why didn't I have your enthusiasm when I was young? I put more effort into business and married someone like you."

When Jiang Li mentioned this, her expression turned cold. Liu Qinghuan couldn't pretend nothing happened. "Sister Li is not a woman who should be confined to a man. It's not too late to focus on business now. Isn't money good?"

After hearing this, Jiang Li covered her lips and smiled: "Sweet, sweet, sweet. You're right, silver is the only real thing in this world."

"Sister Li, you're right to think so. I'll help you make money, so don't think about those stinky men."

Liu Qinghuan said coaxingly.

"I was quite worried about the concubine's pregnancy, but now that you've said that, I feel like it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Li glanced at the direction of the Yingguo woman's courtyard and said, "I'll leave him when my farm is completed. It's not that the Jiang family can't support me, but I don't want to go back and offend my sisters-in-law, nor do I want to return the dowry I have."

These were Jiang Li's heartfelt words. Ever since the Ying country girl came in, the idea of ​​divorce had been lingering in her mind for a long time.

"Madam!" Xiao Tao was listening nearby with an uneasy look on her face. She turned to look at Liu Qinghuan, hoping she could help talk to her.

"After we get married, I will definitely take you away. From now on, you can call me Miss." Jiang Li acted as if nothing had happened and even made a joke.

"Sister Li... this is a big deal, no joke." Liu Qinghuan didn't expect it to be so serious. After all, it was normal for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines. Master Zhou was in his forties before he found such a concubine for the sake of having offspring. Liu Qinghuan had originally thought that Jiang Li would just tolerate it.

"Don't try to persuade me. Actually, I fell into the water when I was little, and I've known for a long time that I couldn't have children, but my family kept it a secret. I told him before we got married, and he said he didn't care. He promised me never to take a concubine, and by doing this today, he's the one who broke that vow."

Jiang Li fiddled with his fingers twice and continued, "Master said that when the concubine's child is born, he will raise it by my side and call me mother. Wouldn't that make me angry to death? I don't think I'm a good person. If I couldn't help but strangle the child to death that day, a life for a life, who would regret it for me then? It's better to divorce as soon as possible so that we have nothing to do with each other and we can all be more comfortable."

Liu Qinghuan knew that Jiang Li had always been a person with her own ideas. She was not an ancient person and did not think that a woman could not survive after being separated.

He nodded and said, "I won't advise you. Sister Li is right. Living your own life might be better. But when you live alone, you must pay attention to safety and hire more guards."

Jiang Li laughed when he heard this: "Divorce is not a good thing, why are you still thinking so far ahead for me?"

Liu Qinghuan said that women's hearts are like needles in the sea, blinking: "Since you have made up your mind, I must give you more consideration."

"You are indeed different from ordinary people."

"Same here."

Jiang Li laughed heartily. "I have to have a meal with you today, Xiao Tao. Tell Zhou Liu to go to Huanxi Restaurant and order some food. Just tell them that the boss is here and you don't have to pay."

Liu Qinghuan also said: "Go ahead, you're welcome."

"Yes." Xiao Tao sighed inwardly, feeling worried.

Ever since the foreign concubine entered the mansion, she rarely saw her wife worry about this matter. She thought she was careless, but she didn't expect she would actually come up with such an idea. Today was the first time she heard of it.

I thought Miss Liu could persuade them, but the two of them sang the same tune and almost planned how they would live after the separation.

What should I do?

Even if it is not divorce, separation will still damage a woman's reputation.

Anyway, the concubine is quite honest and doesn't go out on weekdays, so just pretend she doesn't exist.

Mr. Zhou has been visiting his wife's courtyard quite often recently, so it seems he has his wife in his heart.

Madam is already in her forties. Why bother making such a fuss? It only makes her a laughing stock.

Xiao Tao was also doing this for Jiang Li's own good, and she almost got angry.
