Chapter 486 The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (14)
He just didn't expect that time waits for no one.
"Madam!" Cai Lian saw Shi Yi coming out of the tent and grabbed her wrist, gossiping: "What did the general say to you? Did he admit his mistakes to you?"
"Good Cai Lian, what mistakes did the general have to admit?"
Shi Yi said this, and Cai Lian got angry. She said indignantly: "The general made a big mistake, madam, don't whitewash it for him. And that person, you should send her away as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!"
She couldn't stand Chen Bi's fake look in the first place, not to mention that the fight between the two of them had made them even more enemies, so she wanted Shi Yi to drive her away.
"Cai Lian, you and I know Chen Bi's life experience. Sometimes, it's okay to give in." Shi Yi touched her hand, but she took it back. She put her hands behind her back and looked at the underground passage: "I don't know what her background is. What if she made it up? What if she is a spy sent by the Japanese pirates? I always feel that there must be someone behind the Japanese pirates' constant invasion of my army."
She didn't notice that Shi Yi's expression changed for a moment. She wanted to continue talking, but was attracted by the object Shi Yi took out.
"This? Where are you from!" She was so excited that she forgot what she wanted to say. The main thing is that the hairpin is too delicate and beautiful. It is inlaid with gems of various colors, emitting colorful brilliance.
"Take it, it's a birthday gift for you. I wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but now it seems that I can't wait." Seeing that he successfully diverted her attention, Shi Yi put the hairpin in her palm.
"Thank you, madam, thank you, madam, I like this gift too much. This is definitely my favorite gift." Chen Bi held the hairpin carefully, for fear of dropping it. Her husband is not as thoughtful and attentive as her madam. She has already thought of a way to place this gift-pass it down from generation to generation.
"Why don't you go back and put it away? Be careful not to drop it." Shi Yi teased her deliberately, but she took it for granted and walked away in small steps. She was so excited that she forgot to ask Madam Chen Bi what she said after she came to provoke her in the morning. It was also her fault that her wicked man had to ask her to go home to see the children when Chen Bi came to provoke her. Alas... This matter later became a knot in her heart, and every time she wanted to speak, Shi Yi perfunctorily brushed it off
. After a fight with Cai Lian, Chen Bi fell ill. Jiang Qi sent people to find many doctors for her, but none of them could find out her real problem. She was ill for three months, and Shi Yi also took care of her for three months. Jiang Qi felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to confirm his guess.
That day, he brought a new doctor to see her.
"Ahem... Cousin, you're here..." She spoke the words intermittently, and it seemed very strenuous.
"Are you feeling better recently?" He sat down beside her bed and helped her up.
Chen Bi leaned half of her body on him, coughed a few times, and said weakly: "It's no different, I still can't muster the strength."
The quack doctor holding the medicine box beside him trembled and drooped his eyelids. It turned out that the rumors outside were true. The general and his cousin were really in love. It was a pity for the general's wife.
"Doctor, please take a look at what disease my cousin has!" Seeing that she had been ill for a long time, Jiang Qi couldn't help but be anxious.
The doctor put down his box, pulled his hand out of his sleeve, and put it on her pulse. His brows went from relaxed to frowned. Looking at the pulse, the girl was fine, but she coughed so badly. Could it be that it was really a difficult and complicated disease that he didn't know about? He looked up at Chen Bi and found that her face was as pale as paper, and her brows frowned even tighter.
"Doctor, can you diagnose what disease it is?" Jiang Qi asked carefully. Every doctor he invited to diagnose Chen Bi's pulse was the same. Over time, he became more worried. If it is really an incurable disease, he must be sent to Kyoto in advance... Alas... Even if he is sent to Kyoto, the imperial doctors cannot be invited without the emperor's imperial decree.
The doctor let go of his hand and pondered for a long time, saying: "General, please ask for someone else." He put on his box and shook his head and left.
Jiang Qi wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Chen Bi, "Cousin, don't worry about me. I know my own body, it's okay." After saying that, she showed a frivolous smile.
"It's like this, it's not a big deal." Jiang Qi was angry. He was angry with himself. How could he, a great general, not even invite a famous doctor!
"Cousin, you can rest assured to pacify the Japanese pirates, I will wait for you here." Chen Bi grabbed his hand, very hard.
Jiang Qi was silent for a long time before answering: "Okay."
Autumn has arrived, but the Japanese pirates are still rampant. Fortunately, Jiang Qi and his subordinates have finally formulated the most perfect strategy. He is determined to catch the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop this time.
It was Chen Bi's dream to avenge his parents. On the eve of the expedition, he went to visit her. However, Chen Bi, contrary to her usual behavior, told him to take care of his health. She did not act like a spoiled child, nor did she express overwhelming anger towards the Japanese pirates. He thought that she had been ill for a long time and was a little overwhelmed. But he would definitely avenge her!
The next day.
"Where's the Madam?" He led the vanguard troops to prepare for departure, but was still waiting in place.
"The Madam is still arranging food and supplies, and she can't get away for a while." Cai Lian felt a little guilty. It was obvious that the Madam was free, but she just didn't want to come. If the Madam didn't want to come, she had no choice. It was impossible to tie the Madam up and come.
"What time is it now?" Jiang Qi looked back but didn't wait for anyone to answer. He raised his right hand to the sky and shouted, "Let's go."
He expected that person to come to see him off, but it was just an expectation after all, and she didn't come. Well, there is a long way to go, and there are plenty of opportunities.
His secret agents had already found the location of the leader of the Japanese pirates. He led the vanguard troops to attack Huanglong directly, catching the Japanese pirates off guard. The other troops surrounded the Japanese pirates from all sides, not giving them a chance to breathe, and finally returned with a great victory.
"General, this is a letter from your wife." On the way back, his subordinates handed him the letter.
"When did you receive it?" He did not wait for anyone to answer, but asked himself: "It doesn't matter when it was received. As long as it's for me, it's fine."
He thought it was a private letter to himself, and finally there was a little smile on his face. When he opened it, his face suddenly changed.
His hands trembled, and the letter fell to the ground.
"My cousin passed away..." He murmured, "How could this happen? My cousin..."
"General, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that he looked wrong, his subordinates asked boldly.
"Nothing." He exhaled the turbid air in his heart. Maybe he was just overthinking everything.
