Seeing that her door was open, Chu Ge stopped at the street corner in front of her house, with no intention of entering. Si Qi and Wu Lu also stopped with her.
In that house, the man paced a few steps irritably and shouted:
"I asked you to go to the ground to compost, but you didn't go. I asked you to cook at home, but you didn't cook either. Do you want to die of laziness?"
He was starving to death when he came back from work and couldn't even drink hot soup.
The woman was also unhappy.
"Do you think I am idle at home? Did you take care of the baby? Did you clean the house? Did you wash the clothes?"
The woman complained while changing her child's wet pants.
The man became even more irritated when he remembered that there was still a lot of work to do, and he couldn't help but blame the woman again.
"If I had known that the government's relief would come out so quickly, you shouldn't have traded Duo'er for those few pancakes. You are short-sighted. Now that it's better, who will do the work at home?"
Although there are no poultry at home now, but life is getting better day by day, and sooner or later we will raise some. Who will feed them then?
The woman is not willing to be outdone.
"You still have the nerve to criticize me? Who first said that I would give Duo'er in exchange for food?"
If a man is wrong, don't look away, but the woman won't give up.
"If I don't change the cakes, can our family survive and wait for the government's relief?"
The woman packed up the children, put a little bit of rice into the pot, filled half the pot of water and started to boil. When the rice was almost cooked, she added some wild vegetables and it was a meal. She sighed.
"It's true that the exchange was short. If I had known earlier, I should have asked for more silver. I heard that wealthy families would give several taels of silver to their maids."
"Dad, Mom, I miss my sister."
Hearing his brother's milky words, Chu Ge on the street corner turned his back.
"Sister Si Qi, let's go."
Brother, I'm sorry, sister, never come back to this home again.
Si Qi hugged Chu Ge's thin shoulders.
"Well, it's a blessing in disguise. It's a blessing. If you sing for the first time, your life will still be long."
Wu Lu looked at Si Qi who was comforting Chu Ge. Why didn't he think she was so beautiful before?
Delicate yet elegant, it really becomes more beautiful as it grows.
"Hey, idiot master, let's go."
Wu Lu came to his senses and found that the two of them were already walking in front of him, so he hurriedly followed them.
Si Qi asked in confusion: "Why are you so dazed?"
"No, it's nothing. Look, let's take a look at the scenery."
Si Qi turned around and looked around. There were ordinary houses and streets, all in ruins waiting to be renovated. What was there to see? He was indeed an idiot.
The three of them returned to the inn, and Si Qi went to report to Chu Yunxi.
"Madam, haven't you seen that Chuge's mother's face is still the same as before, with no repentance at all. And her father is the same as before, he can be called cold-blooded!"
Si Qi was indignant because of Chu Ge.
"I don't know how much injustice Chu Ge suffered when he was at home."
She used to think that losing her biological parents was the most pitiable thing in the world. Now that she has seen more with the Queen, she knows what it means to cherish the present.
In this world, there are always people who are more miserable than you. If you always think about your own misery and get stuck in it, you will never be able to appreciate the beauty in your life.
Now, she has also learned to let go, learn to be tolerant, learn to look forward, and learn to cherish every good thing in life.
Although Chu Yunxi is a woman, she is held in the hands of her parents and brothers. She has almost forgotten that in this world, men are superior to women.
"Chu Ge was lucky enough to meet us and escape from the sea of suffering. But I don't know how many Chu Ge there are in this world."
She thought about her women's college, and she should learn from her third brother and teach these women how to do business.
When you have money in your hands, you don't have to ask men to support you in everything, and your waist can be straightened.
"Siqi, bring a pen and paper."
She needs to plan again. See what businesses are suitable for women to do.
As soon as she picked up the brush, Jun Lingyun grabbed her wrist.
"Xi'er, you have to go on a journey tomorrow. How can you do it without a good rest? Go lie down on the bed and eat some fruit. Tell me what you want to write and I will write it down for you."
Chu Yunxi was pulled to lean on the bed, dumbfounded.
"Ling Yun, I haven't even written out my eight characters yet, how can I be so delicate? I can be tired just writing a character."
Jun Lingyun is extremely serious:
"Who said there are no more horoscopes? The doctor said that he is 80% sure that the horoscopes have been made up."
Chu Yunxi's mouth was stuffed with fruit and he was speechless. So this can be understood in this way?
Si Qi quietly left and closed the door, snickering. She was so looking forward to the birth of the little prince.
Seven days later, their carriage finally arrived safely at the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom.
Jun Zifeng and the important officials of the imperial court were already waiting at the city gate to greet him. They had received a message from Jun Lingyun a few days ago and knew that Xizhao had made a perfect handover.
From then on, the Five Kingdoms became Four Kingdoms, and their Yunxiao Kingdom became the most powerful country worthy of its name.
Their new emperor truly lives up to his reputation as the God of War and is terrifyingly powerful.
The common people in the capital were also crowded along the road, just like every time Jun Lingyun went on a triumphant expedition, they were all waiting to welcome the hero in their hearts.
Jun Lingyun took Chu Yunxi's hand and they both walked out of the carriage.
Jun Zifeng, together with all the courtiers, knelt down to greet him.
"Congratulations to my emperor on his triumphant return to conquer Xizhao! Congratulations to the queen!"
"My lords are safe. During the days since I left the capital, I have worked hard for you to maintain the stability of Yunxiao Kingdom."
The courtiers complimented:
"I and others are just people sitting at home, how can they compare to the emperor and queen, who travel thousands of miles and do everything themselves."
Chu Yunxi saw her second and third brothers in the crowd at a glance, looking at her excitedly.
Due to the occasion, Chu Yunxi only nodded towards them as a courtesy.
Bai Xiao led Jun Lingyun's white horse to him. The people in front were still waiting to see the empress's splendor. As for the two Xiling Yu brothers behind them, someone would arrange a place for them.
Jun Lingyun first carried Chu Yunxi onto the horse, then got on the horse himself, protected her, and drove the horse slowly. All the courtiers followed.
Wherever he passed, people knelt down and admired him endlessly.
"The emperor and empress are so loving. They are inseparable, which is so enviable."
"Yes, if husband and wife are of the same mind, they can break through metal."
"To conquer Xizhao so quickly, the Queen is indeed a goddess descended from heaven and can bring good luck to Yunxiao Kingdom."
Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi returned to the palace amidst the sounds of kneeling and admiring.
The courtiers thought that Jun Lingyun would go to court immediately to understand the national conditions during this period and explain to them. However, they saw that their emperor and the queen went directly to the palace.
The ministers looked at each other and had no idea, so they had no choice but to continue following. Jun Lingyun turned around.
"What are you doing here? Let's break up. We'll discuss all matters tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he took Chu Yunxi's hand and walked away gracefully. The courtiers looked at Jun Zifeng again.
