Chapter 991 The Dog Has Grown Up
"I'll come back to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with you."
Qi Heng subconsciously patted Lin Yuesha's head, showing great affection.
Every time he reported that he was safe, he hoped to receive a reply from his wife, but to his surprise, her replies were even more concise than his.
Qi Heng felt it necessary to explain that he had recently risked going to Sishui City, and the letters to let his men know he was safe were written in advance and sent over by his subordinates every now and then.
"You dare to go to Sishui City all by yourself? Do you think you have nine lives?"
Lin Yuesha was furious. Qi Heng hadn't discussed this with her. The barbarians were not like the Great Qi; they were a true den of dragons and tigers.
Yuwen Kun, in particular, was thoroughly tricked by her and has already sent a lot of people to the fishing village to cause her trouble.
"The matter happened suddenly, and there was a risk of the message being leaked. I acted first and informed later, and I hope my wife will understand."
A major battle is inevitable. The Wei family is demoralized and a bunch of fools. Only by quickly taking over the cities in the north can Qi Heng be able to contend with Yuwen Kun.
Especially in summer, the absence of wind and snow made it easier for the barbarians to launch large-scale invasions.
"I'm glad you're safe."
Lin Yuesha asked Qi Heng, "Stop being so glib and get down to business. You must have important business to attend to this time."
Qi Heng shook his head hastily. He had already decided to come back and spend the Dragon Boat Festival with Lin Yuesha. When they got married, he promised that he would never miss any festival with his wife, as long as he had free time.
The Dragon Boat Festival is no small festival anymore.
I didn't realize until I came back that the shipyards and workshops by the sea have already become quite successful in such a short time.
He missed his wife, but she didn't believe him, which made Qi Heng feel very wronged.
"Is it really just because of me?"
Lin Yuesha didn't say it, but she felt very sweet inside, which showed how much Qi Heng valued her.
The couple sat together, with Lin Yuesha leaning lazily against Qi Heng, making him do the hard work of sorting out the account books, while she held a storybook and read it with great interest.
With so much going on lately, Lin Yuesha had to take matters into her own hands. She had only read the beginning of the storybook that Wu Bailu had sent her last time.
Wu Bailu opened a girls' school and wrote stories in her spare time, which were stories that encouraged women to be self-reliant and strong.
Lin Yuesha initially thought the dogmatic elements were too obvious, but once she started reading, she became completely engrossed.
"Cousin, cousin, I miss you!"
The sound could be heard even before the person entered.
Xu Da stood in the courtyard, about to stride in, when he was stopped by the Prince of Luo, who said, "They're a married couple, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Why are you going to join in their fun?"
“My cousin is my family. Good brothers are unreliable and always dig pits for me. She’s the only family I have left.”
Xu Da glanced at Luo Wang. They hadn't gotten over what happened last time, so why was he always the unlucky cannon fodder?
Furthermore, Xu Da learned that King Luo had deceived him and that Wuya had never married.
For two whole months, Xu Da looked pale and sickly, and every time he looked in the mirror, he felt like he was surrounded by a green aura.
Although Uya's failure to marry gave him a pleasant surprise, he was deeply hurt by being deceived and kept in the dark about it.
The Prince of Luo was speechless for a long time before he finally found his voice and retorted, "You left without saying goodbye and expect me to deliver a letter to explain, and you think you did the right thing?"
The incident was sparked by a catalyst, and Xu Da was the culprit, reaping what he sowed.
"Look at what you're saying, if I don't blame you, why should I blame myself?"
Xu Da crossed his arms, his face grim. If there was a problem, it was someone else's problem; why should he look for the cause within himself?
The fact that the King of Luo deceived him into forging the letter is now a certainty.
"Fine, you won't look for the cause within yourself, but Lin girl, Wuya, and Madam Xu were all involved in hiding this from you!"
Leaving aside Wuya and Madam Xu, Lin Yuesha did not inform Xu Da after learning about it.
"Hmph, don't I know you well enough?"
Xu Da rolled his eyes. The mastermind was definitely Prince Luo himself, and he wanted to drag the others down with him.
His cousin is the most kind-hearted person. After learning the truth, she was conflicted and worried that Luo Wang must have interfered and found reasons to persuade Lin Yuesha to help cover it up.
The Prince of Luo was speechless; Xu Da had indeed guessed correctly—that was probably the case.
Lin Yuesha is excluded, but Wuya and Madam Xu are also among the masterminds.
"I already wronged Uya by leaving on my own initiative, and I was reprimanded by her. Can I blame her for that?"
Xu Da made it clear that he was in the wrong, and that whatever Wuya did was not excessive.
Furthermore, even if it's excessive, how can a man like him hold a grudge against his future wife? What kind of person would he be?
Since Uya married him, he had to uphold male virtues. The first rule of male virtue is that one's wife cannot be wrong!
Who taught you that?
The Prince of Luo looked at Xu Da with eyes that seemed to have seen a ghost. Sure enough, matters between men and women were terrifying. Xu Da was starting to act abnormally, and his words were full of strangeness.
Qi Heng.
Xu Da betrayed Qi Heng without any mercy.
If someone as outstanding as Qi Heng could do this, Xu Da could too.
"Fine, you don't hold a grudge against Wuya, but you still have Madam Xu. Madam Xu is definitely one of the masterminds."
The Prince of Luo shifted the blame onto Madam Xu, as he didn't want to take the responsibility himself.
"What did my mother do wrong? She was doing it for my own good."
Xu Da twitched his eye, his words were insincere. He dared not argue with his mother; did she think he had too much time on his hands?
The Prince of Luo stood there dumbfounded, never expecting Xu Da to be so good at sophistry.
“You didn’t say that before.”
Prince Luo took a deep breath, grabbed Xu Da's sleeve, and said, "Back in the capital, you were the least willing to go home and often stayed at the Prince's mansion. You were afraid of offending your mother and getting beaten up, and you even complained many times that you didn't want to be Madam Xu's son."
Xu Da felt a chill run down his spine. The Prince of Luo was petty and was pushing him to his death!
He had said similar things before, talking nonsense without thinking, but that's not what he really meant!
Xu Da was on guard; he had already seen his mother's carriage when he arrived here.
After the Northwest is pacified, given Madam Xu's personality, she will inevitably make a trip to the North.
Madam Xu is here; perhaps Uya will come along too.
The King of Luo asked several questions, and Xu Da had to answer them well in order to escape this predicament.
"The bond between my mother and me is thicker than blood. My mother always did things for my own good, so how could I possibly hold a grudge against her?"
Xu Da was speaking from the heart. Back in the capital, having never experienced war, he never understood his mother, and she had always suppressed him. Even though he did very well, his mother still looked down on him and disliked him in every way.
Xu Da was young and impetuous, and harbored resentment in his heart.
After going to the battlefield, Xu Da realized that his mother had done it all for his own good. Only by learning real skills without being arrogant or impatient could he survive on the cruel battlefield.
If he were arrogant and complacent, or careless for even a moment, he might lose his life on the battlefield.
Madam Xu stood at the door, and the long knife she had raised was quietly lowered.
And you know what? After experiencing the war, her dog grew up overnight and understood her good intentions as a mother.
Madam Xu was content, and she looked forward to Xu Cheng's marriage so that she could soon have a lovely little granddaughter.
