Shuyao and Su Yunting were in a cold war.
To be precise, it was Shuyao who initiated the cold war unilaterally. She drove Su Yunting to sleep in the side yard.
Shuyao was very angry. She thought Su Yunting did not care about herself or their children.
Duke Yun and Su Dalang had clearly said that the three siblings would compete together, but Su Yunting still wanted to withdraw.
However, Su Yunting felt that instead of being tied to this land and dealing with various forces, it would be better to go overseas and become a king who has the final say.
At the very least, within three generations, the central royal power had to rely on enfeoffed kings to help manage overseas territories.
There are few people overseas, so Su Yunting can kill some stubborn people without mercy. Even if he kills everyone on the entire island, no one will dare to say anything.
After all, they are not of my race, so their hearts must be different. No one will argue with me for these foreigners.
If I stayed in Yunzhou, it would be different.
Can I kill the civil servants and military generals under A Niang at will?
Don't you have to find a way to make them listen to you and respect and fear you?
Su Yunting felt like his head was about to explode when he thought about being bound by all kinds of rules and regulations.
He prefers to conquer the world with guns and cannons, especially riding on a ship, riding the wind and waves, and fighting against the sky!
He had thought it all out. Once he had almost conquered the overseas world and his children had grown up, he would hand over his power to his children and lead his fleet to explore the New World.
But Shuyao didn't understand. She just wanted to return to Kyoto and be the mother of the country.
Su Yunting didn't dare to receive her in the house, because an angry Shuyao was like a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex, who was dissatisfied with everything about him and would even be sulking because she lived in the same house with him.
Su Yunting had no choice but to accompany his elder brother for a stroll every day.
The two brothers are like twins, going in and out together, and are more affectionate than a newlywed couple.
This surprised the crowd of idle people who were waiting to watch the fun.
"Second brother, don't you have anything to do?" Su Xuanming was really helpless.
He had a lot of things to deal with, but his second brother just followed him like a shadow.
Faced with his pitiful face, Su Xuanming couldn't ignore him, which resulted in a rapid decline in his work efficiency in the past few days.
Yulang had already looked at him several times alone. If it weren't for the fact that Su Yunting had just returned to Kyoto, he would probably have been sarcastic to Su Xuanming.
"Brother, are you tired of me? It's true that people smell good when they are far away, but smell bad when they are close. I've only been with you for a few days and you're already tired of me."
Su Xuanming touched his forehead and looked at his strange expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Erlang, you are no longer the weak and handsome man you used to be. If you do this again, it seems like you are so willful that you don't care about life and death."
"Humph!" Su Yunting pressed his upper body on Su Xuanming's desk and said nonchalantly, "Help me select a few experienced people who can build a boat. They will be of great use to me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Compared to Quanzhou and Guangzhou, Nantong Port is not as good. I plan to renovate the dock and build a shipyard. Has Goryeo not sent an envoy yet? They have a good relationship with the Great Zhou, and the two countries have close exchanges. Maybe they want to stand between us and the Great Zhou."
Su Xuanming's right eyelid twitched and he warned, "It's almost a critical moment, don't make trouble. The tenth brother and his son are still in Goryeo."
"I know, don't worry. By the way, if anyone asks about where I'm going, don't tell them. Everyone wants to drink with me, it's so annoying, and I can't bear to deal with these things." Su Yunting complained in a low voice.
"What about my sister-in-law?"
"She doesn't like me now, so I have to stay away from her to avoid making her even more angry. Besides, with my mother here, no one can bully her."
After saying that, Su Yunting left.
Su Xuanming looked confused. He remembered hearing his colleagues say that wives need to be coaxed. Is it okay for my second brother to do this?
He told Yulang about his confusion, and received a big eye roll in response.
Yulang ignored him.
Living in the same house, Su Yunting and his wife could not hide their conflicts from others.
Gu Nanxi put down her pen, rubbed her palms to warm them up, and covered her eyes with them: "Lumei, have they reconciled?"
"No." Lu Mei prepared a basin of warm water and stood by. "Er Lang is not at home every day. The second young master's wife rests in the yard and doesn't like to go out."
Ouch, it looks like the conflict has become a bit serious.
Gu Nanxi scratched his head.
If I were Shuyao's mother, I could talk to her and help her solve her confusion.
But since I'm her mother-in-law, there are some things I can't ask her.
"Go call Erlang back. What is he doing running around all day?"
The guard who was ordered to look for someone found Su Yunting in a workshop.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Su Yunting said excitedly.
Gu Nanxi winked at Lumei, and Lumei asked everyone to leave and closed the door.
Seeing that no one was around, Gu Nanxi began to lecture her son: "What's going on? Why did you leave Shuyao alone in the mansion?"
"Ah? She's mad at me and doesn't want to see me."
Gu Nanxi's eyes widened in disbelief: "And then you just disappeared?!"
"Yes, the more she sees me, the angrier she gets. Being angry is bad for a woman's health."
Gu Nanxi touched her chest. She was almost pissed to death by this brat.
How come his emotional intelligence is sometimes online and sometimes offline? !
"Erlang, the way for a couple is to get along with each other. Are you sure you don't want you to stay in the mansion?"
"Of course, we have a good relationship and I know her!"
"Well, she can choose not to see you, but you can't disappear on your own initiative. Do you understand?"
Su Yunting didn't quite believe what Gu Nanxi said: "Mother, you..."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Mother, you haven't managed your relationship with your spouse well. Is what you said reliable?"
"roll!"
"Okay."
Gu Nanxi was deeply hurt and said that her children were all debts.
Until before washing up at night, she still complained to Lumei: "My words are the most reliable! Is that wretched man, Yongchang Hou, worthy of my careful treatment?"
Lu Mei nodded wildly: "Yes, yes, yes, your heart is filled with the whole world, is there any man who is worth your attention?"
"Humph! Who am I doing this for? I'm just afraid that this stupid boy will lose his good wife!"
"Right, right, it's all Erlang's fault. He doesn't know how to appreciate a good person."
Gu Nanxi grumbled for half the night, and the next day she had someone take Su Yunting to the yard to ask about Shuyao's well-being.
Su Yunting told Shuyao about this as if it were a joke.
Shuyao was stunned for a moment, put down the milk in the bowl, and tapped Su Yunting's head with her finger: "You, if it weren't for my mother-in-law, I really don't want to bother with you."
Just as my father once told me, love is a consumable.
When you are in your teens, love is everything and you can throw yourself into a flame and die for it.
When you are in your twenties and thirties, love has been exhausted and a marriage needs to take all aspects into consideration.
For example, a mother-in-law like Duke Yun is a very good mother-in-law who can add a lot of points to a marriage.
Whenever there is something new to eat, I will always have my share.
When I get a new good thing, I will choose it for myself first.
Even if she did something inconsiderate, she never took it to heart and never blamed me.
She had a conflict with Erlang and kicked him out of the room, and she could only scold Erlang.
When it comes to money, there is no choice.
"Forget it, it's up to you. If a cow doesn't want to drink water, can you force it to drink?" (End of this chapter)
