Chapter 182: The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (End of Huo Tingye's Extra)
"You still have a lot to do, and there will be people who will truly cherish and protect you."
Hearing this, Qingwu's delicate body trembled slightly, and she involuntarily raised her head to look at Huo Tingye.
The man's deep eyes were filled with gentleness and reassuring comfort.
It was the gentleness that the invincible general had never shown to outsiders.
Huo Tingye took off the general's token that symbolized supreme power and glory and handed it to Qingwu.
"I promise."
Qing Wu stared blankly at the heavy token in her hand and fell into silence for a moment.
We were silent all the way, but it seemed as if we had exchanged thousands of words.
Qingwu could clearly feel that the man's gaze was like a shadow, following her closely from beginning to end.
It's getting deeper and deeper, which is frightening.
But he appeared well-behaved on the surface, and the closest contact was that reassuring embrace.
In this way, Qingwu returned to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion safely under the escort of Huo Tingye.
She did not go to the temple to pray for a child as the Duke's wife requested, nor did she return to the Duke's Mansion.
Qingwu, who has always been filial and sensible, explained the pain she had suffered over the years one by one, especially the incident that almost cost her life.
Madam Ning hugged her daughter and cried bitterly, and Marquis Ning Yuan was even more furious.
"Divorce, must be divorced!"
When the news that the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion was determined to divorce reached An Huaiyuan and the Duke's wife, they were both stunned for a moment and could not believe this fact at all.
An Huaiyuan could not accept such an outcome. He burst into tears in public, fell to his knees, and begged Qingwu not to divorce him.
Qingwu was not moved at all.
The Duke's wife watched her son being so useless, and her anger rose rapidly.
The initial shock gradually turned into burning anger, to the point that she completely ignored the demeanor and bearing that a lady from an aristocratic family should have.
It is said that Qingwu is weak in character and unable to handle important responsibilities. She does not have the bearing of a mistress of the house. She has been married for a long time but still has no children. Not only that, she also tyrannically takes possession of her own son and does not allow him to take a concubine.
The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was originally a poor family. If it were not for their foolish son, which of the noble families in the entire capital would be willing to accept Qingwu?
If they want to divorce, then they can divorce. She wants to see what Qingwu, a divorced woman, will do after she loses the Duke's Mansion!
Qingwu simply lowered her eyes slightly, cleverly concealing the deep sarcasm in her eyes.
...and never mind how cowardly his son is.
And her life will only get better.
The news of the impending divorce between the Anguo Mansion and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was spread everywhere by the Duke's wife, and soon became a hot topic in the capital and known to everyone.
Those who had nothing to do all day were talking about this matter endlessly, and all kinds of sighs could be heard.
All the glances, either mocking or sympathetic, were cast towards Qingwu.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, no matter what, no matter from which aspect, the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion is considered to be marrying up compared to the Duke's Mansion.
The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was already in decline, and it would probably be even more difficult after this.
Until - Huo Tingye's mother, General Miao, personally visited the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with a huge betrothal gift.
——Pray for Qingwu to marry Huo Tingye.
The whole capital was shaken, and the streets and alleys were in uproar.
The guardian god who has always kept his distance from women and is respected and admired by the people of Daxia?
That great general king who held sway over the government and whose status was second only to the emperor, and who was second only to the emperor and above all others—
Want to marry a second-married woman???
This matter even reached the ears of Emperor Xia Lingxiao, who rarely teased his good brother.
"Is this a curse cast by a woman?"
Facing the emperor's doubts and jokes, Huo Tingye just narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gentle light flashed in his deep eyes that was difficult for others to detect.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a relieved and comfortable smile, and he said slowly, "No, Your Majesty. To me, she is the missing rib in my life that I have been looking for."
Xia Lingxiao didn't understand, but he respected it and granted him the marriage and imperial decree as he wished.
As for the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, Xia Lingxiao snorted coldly and cursed them in his heart for their audacity.
If Huo Tingye had not secretly investigated and revealed the truth, even he, the current emperor, would have been kept in the dark.
In just a few days, the situation changed dramatically.
The Ningyuan Marquisate, which was once ridiculed and despised by the world, suddenly transformed itself into the in-laws of the Huo family, the most prominent and powerful family in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
The once glorious Anguo Mansion met a miserable end because its crimes were exposed.
In just a few days, Qing Wu became the most envied woman in all of Da Xia. Not only did she receive the marriage personally presided over by the current emperor, but she was also granted the title of a first-rank imperial lady.
But their God of War cherishes her so much.
On the wedding night, Huo Tingye finally did what he had wanted to do since the first time he saw Qingwu.
As the candlelight flickered and the red gauze curtains were warm, Huo Tingye slowly approached the beauty beside the bed.
At this moment, his long-restless heart finally calmed down.
Looking at the beautiful bride in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Qingwu's silky hair, feeling the warmth from his fingertips.
Then he slowly leaned down...
He had misunderstood before. A female general like his mother who could stand on her own was a good thing.
But a delicate beauty like Qingwu can make his fingers as soft as steel.
——Or rather, it was only Qingwu.
Qingwu was tightly embraced by the powerful arms of the God of War of Daxia, and her lips curled slightly.
It is a lifetime of glory.
