Chapter 24
(47) Recapture Baihua City (I)
I didn't go to visit Wei Zhen again on the evening before he left.
At the same time, I started packing my bags.
I also want to go back to Baihua City to help my mother regain the military power and revitalize Baihua City.
I was packing my bags when I heard a voice behind me, "Shang Shisan, it looks like you want to follow me too, right?"
When I turned around, I saw the damn Wei Zhen.
Wei Zhen probably drank some wine today, and he didn't look as calm as usual.
He walked over to me with light steps, sat down at the head of my bed, and began to fiddle with my bag with his hands.
"Oh, these are all the gold pendants and silver jewelry I gave you." Wei Zhen picked up the gold hairpins and jade bracelets I put in my bag one by one and examined them carefully, while laughing in an exaggerated tone.
"If you give it to me, it's mine. Yunniang said that I must take enough jewelry with me when I leave, otherwise Yunniang will not want me."
I pulled my bags to my side and continued packing them while muttering.
Wei Zhen didn't continue talking.
I cleaned up for a while and found that Wei Zhen didn't say anything or leave, so I looked up at him.
He was looking at me intently, his head slightly tilted.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, there was a hint of ripples in Wei Zhen's eyes.
"Madam, where are you going with my jewels?" After a while, Wei Zhen asked me in a frivolous tone.
"I want to divorce you!" I said to Wei Zhen fiercely, "It's not a divorce, I want to divorce you!"
I reiterated my determination to divorce my husband.
Wei Zhen began to laugh sadly again.
"What's so funny?"
I got even angrier when I saw his frivolous look.
Wei Zhen sat at the head of my bed, supporting himself with one hand from behind and lifting my chin with a finger of the other hand.
"Madam, if you divorce me, you will be left without a husband. How pitiful."
After Wei Zhen finished speaking, he began to laugh foolishly again.
I felt like he was drunk, and his whole demeanor was confusing.
I shook off his hand and continued to say to him seriously, "I will write the divorce letter now. Just wait, our marriage will be broken off today."
After I finished speaking, I was about to stand up when Wei Zhen pulled me back.
I stumbled and fell on him.
"What are you doing?"
The smile on Wei Zhen's face finally disappeared, and his expression became more serious. "Why did you divorce me?"
He had the nerve to ask me about this, what a cheeky guy!
I glared at him.
"I won't divorce you. Are you waiting for you to find a better and more beautiful woman to divorce me?" I shook my long hair. "Instead of passively waiting for fate to decide, why not take the initiative and judge fate!"
I shouted loudly and struggled to get up from Wei Zhen to write the divorce letter.
Wei Zhen grabbed me with one hand and brought me back to the bed.
"I'm going to send troops to the frontier tomorrow, and you're trying to make things difficult for me today, right?" Wei Zhen's tone was finally no longer frivolous, and his tone became stiff.
"Don't I just want you to accompany me in this worldly life so that I can leave in a carefree manner?" I was unhappy that Wei Zhen was holding me and struggled hard.
Wei Zhen suddenly hugged me in his arms and put his face on my shoulder.
"Madam, please stay." Wei Zhen said to me in a whisper or a coquettish tone, "Wait until I come home and continue to quarrel with you and live a noisy life, isn't that good?"
(48) Recapture of Baihua City (Part 2)
As soon as Wei Zhen left the Wei Mansion, I followed him to Baihua City.
The day happened to be the fifteenth, which was the day for the flower picking market in Baihua City.
After many years, I returned to Baihua City where I was born and raised, and I was naturally very happy.
The flower picking market in Baihua City is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and beautiful flowers are blooming everywhere.
I stood in the market and looked up at Su Cen and Wei Zhen standing in the Lord's Building of Baihua City.
The two seemed to be talking and laughing about something, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In order to find out the current situation of Baihua City, I gave a servant one or two taels of silver, bought his servant's clothes, and then pretended to be a servant carrying a tray of food into the Lord's Building of Baihua City.
"...Lord Wei, this is the fine wine from my Baihua City, jasmine-scented rice wine, please try it." Su Cen had a hypocritical and flattering smile on his face, and took a pot of rice wine from the plate of the servant in front of me and put it on the dining table in the middle where Wei Zhen and he were facing each other.
Wei Zhen had a faint smile on his face, and he glanced casually in my direction, then glanced again.
I quickly shrank my neck, afraid that Wei Zhen would see through me.
Fortunately, Wei Zhen didn't seem to see through me. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Then the servant in front of me left with the empty plate, and I walked to Su Cen with my head down.
Su Cen glanced at the wine pot in my hand, and then said to Wei Zhen, "Our Baihua City has a new product called Furong Chunxiao Niang, which is usually drunk by newlyweds."
Wei Zhen laughed when he heard it.
"But if I drink this wine, will I be able to spend a night of love? Wouldn't it be very difficult to endure the long night?"
I listened to Wei Zhentian's shameless words, raised my head slightly and glared at him, but saw that he was also looking at me.
There were a few big words written on Wei Zhen’s face: What can you do to me?
In this situation, I really couldn't do anything to him, but my hand holding the plate tightly clasped the plate, suppressing the anger in my heart.
Su Cen probably didn't expect Wei Zhen to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"This is not a difficult matter. As long as Lord Wei is pleased, you can choose any beauty in Baihua City."
As I listened to Su Cen's outrageous remarks, I felt dizzy.
Listen, is what he said human language?
These bastards!
Wei Zhen smiled and turned around to glance at the somewhat shy little maid who was fanning him behind him.
Wei Zhen pointed at the maid and said, "She's the one."
Su Cen laughed even louder, "Master Wei can choose more..."
"No need, just her." Wei Zhen interrupted Su Cen and repeated his own words.
After saying that, Wei Zhen picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and glanced at me smugly.
The little maid immediately prostrated herself on the ground, "I, Chunxia, thank you, Lord Wei..."
Wei Zhen tilted her head, resting one hand on her knee and the other on her head, and asked the maid named Chunxia with a smile, "What are you thanking me for?"
Chunxia was a little embarrassed, and after a while she said, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your appreciation."
Perhaps he got a satisfactory answer, Wei Zhen looked at me with a raised eyebrow, with a few words written on his face: "Look at others."
I quickly understood what Wei Zhen meant, but I still felt furious.
Yunniang's words rang in my ears, "Happiness must be earned through one's own efforts. You can never sit and wait for death!"
I will never let Wei Zhen take a concubine.
Wei Zhen, this damn thing, makes me so angry.
