Chapter 1365: Acting Out a Tragic Romance Here?
Company Commander Xie sighed and said: "San Lang, you’ve truly married a good wife. Sister-in-law is an understanding person."
Just too ugly.
But as the old saying goes, marry a virtuous wife, accept a beautiful concubine. Although Gu Family is ugly, she is very capable, taking good care of the families accompanying the soldiers, leaving San Lang without worries.
Qin San Lang heard Xie Cheng praise Gu Jinli, and he laughed, his eyes filled with unabashed tenderness: "My wife is the best."
Company Commander Xie looked at Qin San Lang’s face full of affection and was truly shocked... indeed a ruthless person, to be so affectionate towards Gu Family as well.
"San Lang, thank you for your words, I will try to teach her." After his anger subsided, Xie Cheng couldn’t bear to abandon Ji Zhenniang, wanting to try teaching her, to see if she can be improved.
"Sister-in-law is smart and calm, another day I’ll have Mrs. Ji go talk to her, let her learn more from Sister-in-law, alright?" Company Commander Xie got on the carriage and asked Qin San Lang.
Qin San Lang naturally agreed: "Sure, as long as Sister-in-law Xie is not afraid."
Uh, Company Commander Xie was silenced, thinking about Gu Family’s face.
Zhenniang loved beauty so much, even the rough servant women had to look decent, asking her to get along with Gu Family, she might fight him to death.
Company Commander Xie said nothing.
Qin San Lang laughed, drove the carriage to send Company Commander Xie back to the camp, then drove back to his own camp.
Gu Jinli was waiting for him, seeing him return, she hurriedly welcomed him: "You’re back, park the carriage, come back and have a bowl of porridge, specially cooked for you, to warm your stomach."
Covered in alcohol scent, he must have been drinking all night, a bit of thick porridge is good for the stomach.
"Alright." Qin San Lang smiled at her, parked the carriage, then held her hand, returned to the carriage, took the wooden bowl, and asked: "Where’s your porridge?"
Gu Jinli took out another bowl of porridge, smiled and said: "Don’t worry about me not having porridge, I had Xiao Ji cook a pot, enough for us to eat openly."
Then she asked: "What does Company Commander Xie mean?"
Qin San Lang said: "Ding Ge offended his sensitive spot, he’s willing to ally with us to deal with Ding Ge."
Everyone was not stupid, Xie Cheng knew why he specially comforted him, and Xie Cheng also wanted to deal with Ding Ge, who was courting death by teasing Mrs. Ji.
Gu Jinli: "Sensitive spot? So, Company Commander Xie still can’t part with Mrs. Ji?"
Qin San Lang nodded, handed her a stuffed pancake: "Mrs. Ji is his favorite, it took effort to marry her, probably can’t let go in this lifetime."
"Ah, still a romantic." Gu Jinli felt quite sympathetic towards Company Commander Xie, if Mrs. Ji can’t improve, Company Commander Xie would be exhausted for a lifetime.
But things in love, one willing to give, one willing to take, outsiders can’t say anything.
Qin San Lang had finished the porridge, was eating the pancake, replied: "I’ve already reminded him, he’ll teach Mrs. Ji and check if she’s poisoned after returning, probably can make Mrs. Ji progress somewhat."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Jinli, and said: "I’m no worse than Xie Cheng."
Ah?
Gu Jinli was a bit dazed, after a while she realized he was talking about being a romantic, she laughed and replied: "That’s for sure, otherwise why would I marry you."
Qin San Lang heard, laughed, his stern and cold face brightened warmly.
Gu Jinli liked watching his smile, couldn’t help but poke his face, said: "Smile more, looks good."
Then said: "I bet, Company Commander Xie won’t succeed in teaching his wife this time, instead he’ll get into a fight with Mrs. Ji."
Her mouth seemed blessed, just after she said that they heard a commotion.
Soon, Erqing came to report: "Madam, there’s trouble at the Xie Family Camp, Company Commander Xie wants to kill Hong Xiu, Lady Xie doesn’t agree, the two are arguing again."
Gu Jinli was speechless: "Are they playing out a twisted love drama?"
Why are they fighting again, so full of energy.
"What did Company Commander Xie do?" Gu Jinli asked, if Xie Cheng indulged Mrs. Ji again, Brother Qin’s night of drinking would be wasted, then the alliance wouldn’t succeed.
Because such a person, swayed by a woman to the point of losing all intelligence, is not suitable as an ally.
Erqing said: "Still arguing, have to wait to know the result, but from Company Commander Xie’s appearance, seems like he’s no longer going to indulge Mrs. Ji."
Gu Jinli listened and nodded: "Then let them argue first, you go have something to eat, we’re preparing to set off."
"Yes." Erqing agreed, went down.
In less than 30 minutes, the copper gong sounded, everyone packed up and set off.
Originally thought that the Xie Family would delay for an hour before setting off, but this time Company Commander Xie did not delay, setting off with everyone.
Soon, Erqing returned to the carriage, reported to her: "Madam, a fierce argument occurred there, Lady Xie threatened suicide, eventually Company Commander Xie knocked her unconscious with a palm, tied her up and threw her into the carriage. Hong Xiu is dead, after Lady Xie fainted, Company Commander Xie beheaded Hong Xiu in front of everyone, said she betrayed her master, and whoever dared to act against their master would meet the same fate, regardless of Xie Family or Ji Family servants, he’d personally kill them."
Actually, what Hong Xiu did was more than just betraying her master so simply, she treated her master like a fool and played tricks, which was a major taboo, more serious than betrayal, definitely had to kill one to warn many.
Gu Jinli listened and nodded, said: "Company Commander Xie’s decisiveness shows he’s determined to clear the people around Mrs. Ji."
Mrs. Ji is easily influenced and manipulated by others, if people around her can be cleared out, she’ll cause less trouble.
If Mrs. Ji causes less trouble, Company Commander Xie would have time to conspire with Brother Qin to eliminate Ding Ge, otherwise if Mrs. Ji makes a mistake, not only Company Commander Xie, even his ally’s wife would have to care for Mrs. Ji for the greater good.
But she really didn’t want to be Mrs. Ji’s nanny!
"Where is Brother Qin? I want to find Brother Qin." Gu Jinli suddenly said to Erqing.
Nanny Tao shook her head, smiled, really liked her family’s girl being close to her son-in-law, looked at Erqing: "Go find the son-in-law."
"Okay." Erqing ran off.
Soon, Qin San Lang rode over, saw Gu Jinli leaning on the carriage window, looking up at him, smiling: "Is there something you want me to do?"
Gu Jinli hummed twice, said: "I called you over because I missed you, not to make you work."
Qin San Lang was taken aback, stretched his long arm, his fingertips touched her corner of the mouth, felt itchy in his heart, wanted to kiss: "Funny, I miss Xiao Yu too."
Really miss.
"So cold." Gu Jinli ignored his words, avoided his hand, said: "Come closer, I have something serious to tell you."
Qin San Lang: "..."
Indeed called him over to work.
"Okay, say it." Qin San Lang was very obedient, leaned against the carriage window, waiting for her words.
This position really wasn’t good for talking, Gu Jinli spoke quickly.
Qin San Lang listened, furrowed his sword-like eyebrows: "It might be a bit difficult."
Xie Cheng is very straightforward, cares a lot about face, asking him to act spoiled, feign pitiful, beg for favor, is harder than asking him to lead soldiers to live in White Wolf Forest for a lifetime.
