Xu Jing is the type of person who is at home when disaster strikes.
In the middle of the night, everyone was about to soak their feet, wash up and go to bed. Suddenly, there was a noise from the concierge saying that Luo Ying had arrived.
Why are you going to the prefectural government office in the middle of the night when you're not at home?
Xu Jing straightened his clothes and had to stand up to greet the guests.
Luo Ying was also very experienced and had no idea that she was an outsider. She entered the inner room and closed the door with a bang.
"Master Jiang, you must make the decision for me."
Xu Jing asked the servants to serve tea and sat down to talk. "General Luo, please speak if you have anything to say."
Luo Ying is not Bai Shinian, and cannot learn the tearful and sobbing style. Drinking tea is like a cow chewing a peony, and he cannot taste the inner flavor.
Luo Ying said bluntly, "I want to divorce my wife."
Xu Jing's frown relaxed, and he spread his hands. "Where's the divorce letter? I'll get it for you tomorrow when the clerk comes to work."
"I didn't bring any." Luo Ying said confidently, "I can't read a few characters. I hope the prefect can help me write a few words."
"Is it so difficult to hire a clerk to pay for writing? Besides, General Luo is a military scholar after all, how could he not be good at writing?" Isn't this making things difficult for him?
Luo Ying shook his head and said, "I've never liked reading since I was a child, and I'm even less interested in classics. Now..."
Xu Jing interrupted him and asked his servant to call Bai Shinian over.
When Bai Shinian entered, he was full of resentment. He originally wanted to hug his beautiful concubine and have some tender time with her, but when he was notified that he had to work overtime, all thoughts of that had gone out of his mind.
When he saw Lord Jiang, he started to complain and cry foul. "Master, what do you want from me?" He was still awake in the middle of the night, who was he trying to humiliate?
Xu Jing pointed at Luo Ying who was sitting beside him and said, "General Luo wants to divorce his wife. Please draft a divorce document for him so that he can move it easily."
Just for this? Bai Shinian's resentment grew even stronger. After paying his respects to Luo Ying, he asked, "May I ask why General Luo divorced his wife?"
Luo Ying frowned and said, "Tian Wan'er behaved improperly and had an affair with Ren Si..."
Cough cough! Bai Shinian coughed twice, his eyes widening.
Was he cuckolded right after he got out of jail?
Oh my god, this is some kind of big gossip. This is so explosive.
Xu Jing held his forehead. "Haven't you heard the rumors in the neighborhood? General Luo's wife is a lecherous woman who wreaks havoc on the people. Not long after their marriage, she ran off with another man, who is the Prince of Nanping."
Bai Shinian was stunned. "Where did you hear that, sir?" He remembered that sir was always busy all day, so how could he have the time to listen to gossip?
"I heard it from the bailiff while he was patrolling the streets. Anyway, just write the cause and effect as if she were a seductive woman."
Xu Jing listened to Luo Ying drowsily. "She even colluded with foreign enemies..."
Xu Jing was instantly startled awake and angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense! How could Madam Luo be a wicked woman colluding with foreigners? Shinian, go to the study next door, write the divorce letter, and then return. Report to the government office on time tomorrow."
Bai Shinian felt as if he had been pardoned and slipped away quickly.
After he left, Xu Jing grabbed his collar and whispered in his ear, "Are you crazy? If you say she's having an affair, others will just laugh at you for being cuckolded. But if you say she's colluding with foreign enemies, you and I won't even know how we died!"
Xu Jing was so glad at this moment that Bai Shinian was his own. If he had been replaced by someone with ulterior motives, he would have been killed in minutes.
Xu Jing gritted his teeth and issued a warning. "Everything has its limits. If you continue to be disobedient, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Luo Ying smiled and shook his hand, then pulled him into her arms. "Don't you still have me?"
"Luo Ying, are you crazy?" Xu Jing pursed his lips and looked at him. "You came to me in the middle of the night. You said you wanted to divorce me, but you really wanted to see me."
"Master Jiang is truly a man of great intelligence. No matter what Luo does, I cannot hide it from you."
As he got closer, Luo Ying saw a white silk scarf around his neck and frowned. "Who did this?"
Xu Jing struggled to get up, but was restrained by the stubborn ox and could not move. Xu Jing did not get angry, but smiled and said: "It was my concubine who did it."
Knowing that he has concubines is one thing, but being annoyed by him showing off about them all the time is another.
Luo Ying pinched his chin and warned him, "You'd better cancel tomorrow's concubine ceremony, otherwise..."
Xu Jing smiled, ignoring Luo Ying's advice. He slapped the dog's outstretched paw away and said calmly, "Who are you to me? Why are you meddling in my affairs?"
Yes, the two of them are colleagues who keep to themselves. They can't even get involved in external affairs, let alone internal affairs?
Xu Jing gave him a push and stood up straight. "It's getting late, General. Please go back."
"Are you really going to take a concubine tomorrow?"
Xu Jing smiled and responded calmly. "How about watching the general divorce his wife?"
Jiang Xuqing's sarcastic remarks always made Luo Ying extremely unhappy, and she just didn't want to listen to him talk about his own affairs.
It’s all because of that troublesome white silk.
Luo Ying placed her hand on his neck and whispered, "If your wife knew what happened between you and me, she would probably die of anger."
"She knows."
"How dare you?" Luo Ying frowned and gritted her teeth as she untied the white silk hanging around his neck.
There was no wound that caught my eye, only a faint scratch.
It clearly happened last night, but after one night only the scar was left.
Jiang Xuqing's recovery ability is so fast that those who didn't know him would think he was a sika deer spirit. (Deer have a very fast recovery ability and can continue to jump around even after being injured. Drinking deer blood can boost energy and have aphrodisiac effects.)
"If you're not injured, why are you still wearing that annoying white silk?"
Xu Jing smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Whose eyes did I offend? General Luo's?"
He took a step back and said coldly, "I can be magnanimous and ignore General Luo's reckless behavior. I hope the general will respect himself."
"Did she touch you?" Luo Ying threw out a confusing sentence that Xu Jing couldn't respond to. He thought that Luo Ying must be jealous.
Jealousy has its own way of being dealt with, and the best way is to change the subject. "General Luo has come to properly resolve the issue of divorce. In my opinion..."
"Don't talk about other things." Luo Ying stared at him, trying to see some strange emotions on Jiang Xuqing's face.
Unfortunately, no, Jiang Xuqing remained calm, whether dealing with him or others. It was this composure that annoyed him so much.
Well, since what was said was not what he wanted to hear, he didn't want to be polite to Jiang Xuqing.
Luo Ying felt that at least he had to do something before things were finalized.
Then, Luo Ying put her arms around Jiang Xuqing's neck, and the moment he lowered his head, she took the breath from his lips.
Unlike the last time when he vented his anger, at least this time he came with sincerity.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Jiang Xuqing to take a concubine.
Even a woman cannot appear next to him.
