An ordinary woman, when asked about the situation in Qi-Yan, such as the South Pearl, would definitely look blank. An extraordinary woman, when asked about the situation in Qi-Yan, such as the antidote, would definitely look disdainful and say sarcastically, "I can explain it, but can you understand it?"
But Jiang Wuyou does not belong to either of these two categories.
When He Yunxiao mentioned "Qi Yan" to her, her previously good mood immediately plummeted. She didn't look at He Yunxiao, but stared into the distance, saying evasively, "Yunxiao, why are you suddenly asking me this? I'm just a woman, how would I know about such important matters of state?"
He Yunxiao was already mentally prepared, but seeing Sister Jiang's clumsy acting, he could only laugh in his heart: I don't believe you for a second, you pretty sister are really bad.
He Yunxiao planned to test Jiang Wuyou's feelings for the Yan Kingdom. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My wife, don't you think it would be wonderful if the world were unified one day?"
Jiang Wuyou raised her head, remembered her own background, and said with a smile, "Yes, when that time comes, there will be no more chaos in the world, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and no one will have to be displaced or sell their daughters to survive."
Knowing that Sister Jiang had a difficult past, He Yunxiao put his arm around her and let her lean on his shoulder, offering her silent comfort.
Seeing He Yunxiao's actions, Jiang Wuyou did not refuse, but laughed.
"These are all things from when I was a child. Although they happened to my sister, when I think about them now, I don't feel sad or upset at all. Instead, it feels like they happened to someone else."
He Yunxiao asked quietly, "Wife, are your parents from the State of Qi or the State of Yan?"
Jiang Wuyou shook her head. "I don't know." Then she bit her lip, made up her mind, and said, "Yunxiao, if... if my sister's parents were from the Yan Kingdom, would you still want my sister?"
He Yunxiao seemed to have thought this through long ago, and calmly said, "Even if your father is the Emperor of Yan, I still want you."
Jiang Wuyou was secretly pleased, but she didn't hold back, saying, "You big lecher! You want to marry the Princess of Qi, but you're also eyeing the Princess of Yan. You're always wanting more than you have. You might as well just take all the good girls in the world by yourself."
If Ziruo's wife had said these words, He Yunxiao would have hidden all the knives in the mansion overnight, especially the woodcutter's knife that was so good at chopping heads. But since it was Sister Jiang who said these words, He Yunxiao was not flustered at all.
Judging from Sister Jiang's generous and gentle personality, she is probably the most magnanimous female lead among all the female leads, except for Sister Du who has no principles.
"Is my wife jealous?" He Yunxiao looked at Jiang Wuyou with great curiosity.
"I'm not jealous, I'm just worried that there are too many girls in the house and your body can't handle it. Don't take advantage of your young age and ruin your health too early, or you'll suffer later," Jiang Wuyou pouted.
He Yunxiao didn't mention the Soul-Devouring Pill, but instead resigned himself to his fate, saying, "My body isn't up to par, so my wife will be the one suffering in the end."
On this point, Jiang Wuyou could not refute.
The female teacher at the women's academy had described the feeling of "tasting the marrow and then wanting more," and Jiang Wuyou herself had recently experienced a low-intensity pleasure, requiring a handkerchief, with He Yunxiao's help. Objectively speaking: the female teacher was right, and the book was right. (M.cascoo.net)
Seeing that Sister Jiang was speechless because of what he had said, He Yunxiao took the initiative to change the subject and help her out of the predicament, saying, "My wife, you still haven't said what you think of the situation in Qi Yan."
Jiang Wuyou dared not speak, could not speak, and did not want to speak.
As far as she knew, the Yan Emperor was planning something big, but she herself didn't know the extent of it or its full scope. In short, the world was in turmoil, and war was imminent.
Marquis Wuqing's He family army was not on the northern battlefield defending against the Yan state, but on the west. Even if the Yan army marched south, they would not be able to reach Yinjing for a while, and thus could neither affect the He family army nor He Yunxiao.
Jiang Wuyou said vaguely, "I heard from some of the patrons at Chunfenglou that things haven't been peaceful at the border and in Yinjing City lately. Something might be going to happen."
He Yunxiao's eyes lit up. "Specifically?"
"Specifically... Recently, some martial arts practitioners have come to the restaurant. They said that the Yan Kingdom's raids on the border have become significantly more frequent lately. Also, there's some kind of sword-testing tournament in Yinjing City. With so many martial arts practitioners gathered together, swords clashing, it's easy for trouble to break out."
He Yunxiao silently made a note of it.
"My wife..."
"Um?"
"You're talking about unifying the world, is that alright?"
Jiang Wuyou was puzzled. Of course, it would be good to unify the world. Why do you need to ask?
“Okay,” she said.
He Yunxiao then asked, "Is it better for Qi to unify with Yan, or for Yan to unify with Qi?"
Jiang Wuyou said without hesitation, "Of course, Qi Tongyi Yan is better."
He Yunxiao was intentionally testing Sister Jiang's attitude, so he observed her expression and tone very carefully. Just now, after hearing Sister Jiang's words and seeing her expression, He Yunxiao felt reassured.
Sister Jiang doesn't have much affection for the Yan Kingdom. Her plan to atone for her crimes through meritorious service is now secure.
"Why is it better for Qi to unify with Yan?" He Yunxiao asked knowingly.
Jiang Wuyou looked at He Yunxiao as if he were an idiot and said, "You are a marquis of Qi, not a marquis of Yan. If Qi destroys Yan, your family can be promoted from marquis to duke based on your merits. If Yan destroys Qi, your family, which is very prestigious, will be among the first to be killed. So of course it is better for Qi to unify Yan."
"He Yunxiao, are you stupid? Why do you have to ask such a question?" she said angrily.
He Yunxiao was overjoyed to learn that Sister Jiang disliked the Yan Kingdom, and he wasn't angry at all even when he was scolded.
"Wife, come here, let's collect the 'interest'."
Upon hearing the word "interest," Jiang Wuyou got up and tried to run away.
