Chapter 484: The General's Wife Reinforces the Wife
's Responsibility (12) "Is it a letter from mother?"
He heard her ask, and quickly calmed down, folding the letter and keeping it close to his body. He nodded and hummed.
"Since it is a letter from mother to you, I won't ask."
He saw his wife smiled at him, her eyes full of "understanding".
"Thank you." He wanted to reach out to shake her fingers, but when he saw the third person in the tent, he patted her shoulder instead. Because of his mother's letter, he was also a little emotional, and promised: "I, Jiang Qi, will never let you down in this life."
Shi Yi still responded with her signature smile. She was greedy and wanted more than that. Therefore, she would not accept it until she got it completely.
"The general will not let his wife down. This is what a real man should do." His subordinates added a few words and retreated under the intimidation of his eyes.
"Let's stop here for today. I will also go out to supervise the female soldiers and check their training results." Shi Yi glanced at the world outside the tent door and said softly.
"Don't go." Jiang Qi grabbed her wrist.
He could sense the warmth of their feelings over the past few days, but he could feel even more that she was distant from him. He knew the shadow between them, but his mother had already spoken, and he would definitely not hurt her heart like before.
"Hmm?"
Facing her gentle and clear eyes, he didn't dare to reveal his heart. He felt embarrassed and guilty. She had already made a lot of efforts for him and the Jiang family.
"Let's talk about it next time. There is a long time, so there is no rush."
He felt that the other party saw through his thoughts, and he let go of his hand as if he was burned, and said hesitantly: "Next time, let's have a good talk about the problems between you and me."
"Hmm." Shi Yi responded softly, turned around and left without looking back.
Jiang Qi was instantly discouraged after she left. He sat on the sheepskin stool and pounded the table childishly several times, feeling that he really didn't act like a general just now.
The biggest problem between him and her was the contradiction caused by years of childlessness. He wanted to do more to eliminate the shadow between him and her, but plans could not keep up with changes.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the twenty-fourth year of Pingyao, he pushed open the tent and saw his cousin Chen Bi.
"Cousin..." The moment he showed up, Chen Bi ran into his arms instantly, tears rolling down her eyes, "I almost thought I would never see you again."
His hands were stiff there, and he could sense the chill behind him. That look must have come from his wife who wanted to eliminate the shadow. However, if he looked back now, he would find that it was not.
"Chen Bi, have your meal first, and talk slowly after you are full." Shi Yi walked in with a food box, and his face showed no joy or anger. But the other woman behind her had a face full of injustice.
Chen Bi looked at her provocatively, hugged her cousin tighter, and said half sadly and half coquettishly: "Cousin, don't drive me away, I only have you."
People who didn't know might think that someone in the military camp wanted to drive her away. I don't know where this cousin of the general came from. She is so annoying. She talks in a roundabout way.
Cai Lian, the leader of the women's army following behind Shi Yi, disliked her very much. She did not hesitate to throw the watermelon in her hand to the ground and turned to leave.
Jiang Qi felt the dissatisfaction of outsiders, and naturally noticed the excessive intimacy between him and his cousin. He pinched her shoulders hard, almost pressing her down on the seat, and comforted her: "Chen Bi, you eat first and then wash up. Your cousin will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."
"I knew that my cousin treats me the best." Chen Bi hugged his arm again like a little girl and said coquettishly, tears in her eyes.
"Eat first. Your sister-in-law has prepared it for you." Jiang Qi wanted to pull his hand away, but Chen Bi was petite and strong, and he did not dare to use brute force, so he had to look for help at his wife who was standing aside. Shi
Yi took a few steps towards him, but was immediately stopped by Chen Bi, "Don't come over, don't come over, you are bad! It's you who made me leave Kyoto, it's you who killed my family!"
"Killed?" Jiang Qi wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"Cousin, Chen Bi's family was killed by the Japanese pirates." She hugged his hand and began to cry, "You almost couldn't see Chen Bi. Chen Bi's life was so miserable."
"How could it be?" Jiang Qi was very shocked. He knew that the people along the coast were deeply harmed by the Japanese pirates, but he never thought that his relatives were also harmed by them.
"After my aunt sent me out of Kyoto, my parents have been depressed. That day, the weather was fine, so our family decided to go fishing to relax and catch some seafood to exchange for money and rice. Unexpectedly, the fishing boat encountered Japanese pirates halfway. They babbled in a language we didn't understand, and then hooked our fishing boat. My parents tried their best to protect me and let me escape. But they died on the spot." Chen Bi cried heartbreakingly, and finally looked like an orphan whose family was broken up.
Shi Yi said nothing and quietly retreated, leaving the space for the two. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he was pulled away by Cai Lian.
"Madam, the general's cousin is not a good person. You must deal with it well." Cai Lian didn't want to see Chen Bi, but she didn't miss the opportunity to eavesdrop, so she stood outside. After listening to what Chen Bi said, she thought about it and felt that something was wrong. How could someone who escaped from death still have such neat and clean clothes?
"Good luck, Cai Lian..."
"Stop." As soon as the lady opened her mouth, Cai Lian knew what she was going to say, which was nothing more than "thank you" and "don't worry". But she had been in a similar situation to the lady and had experienced more than the lady, so she was confident that she would not be wrong.
"Madam, just wait and see, I will definitely expose this Chen Bi." She vowed and ran away.
In the tent.
"Chen Bi, is everything you said true?" Jiang Qi still couldn't believe it.
Chen Bi rolled up her sleeves and exposed her arm in front of him. There was an obvious arrow scar on her arm that made Jiang Qi panic.
"I fell into the water and they shot me. I escaped with a narrow escape, and I almost thought I would never see you again."
"It must be painful." His fingers touched the edge lightly, and he didn't even dare to look at her expression now. If he had stopped his mother from sending her back to Kyoto that day, would she be different now?
"Cousin, teach me horse martial arts, I want to avenge them." Chen Bi's eyes were firm, and hatred was rising from her body.
"Okay." Jiang Qi touched the top of her head, and Hongyi said: "If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. Cousin will definitely help you kill the enemy."
In a place where he couldn't see, a hint of apology flashed across Chen Bi's eyes.
