Chapter 182 Extra
"My Lord, Madam Leng is making trouble again, you..."
The servant beside him stepped forward and spoke, but the voices behind him became smaller and smaller.
Yin Xu lay in a woman's arms, looking at the dancer's dancing with blurry eyes, and waved his hands impatiently:
"Go away! Go away! Who cares about that crazy woman? Let her make a scene! If she continues to make a scene, I will stop paying her expenses. If you are full and have nothing better to do, then don't eat!"
The servant saw that he had a cold face and there was no trace of his deep affection for Madam Leng, to the point that he even divorced the previous wife of the Marquis for her.
Instead of staying here and causing trouble, I just left.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is becoming less and less powerful. If the indentures were not still in the hands of the masters, they would have run away long ago. Who would have the patience to serve them?
After being disturbed by this, Yin Xu lost all his previous interest and felt irritated by everything he saw. He simply got up, staggered out of the brothel drunk and walked home.
When he arrived at the place and was about to knock on the door, he saw the plaque on the door and suddenly woke up.
Oh, the mansion of this marquis has already been sold for silver.
They had now moved into a small courtyard, and had sold most of the servants in the mansion, leaving only a few menial servants.
Thinking of this, Yin Xu couldn't help but recall the past.
At that time, he married Ye Qiongying and had everything he wanted. With the help of the Ye family's connections in the court, his future became brighter and brighter.
In life, I have a life of luxury and no longer have to worry about household expenses.
Who wouldn’t envy him for marrying a rich, powerful and beautiful wife?
When did it change?
Did you hear people say that he relies entirely on his wife's family and has no ability, which is undoubtedly the beginning of marrying into the wife's family?
Or did it start from when he met Leng Qianqian and was attracted by her unusual way of speaking?
Gradually, the lady who once seemed satisfying to me became a nuisance.
He began to become arrogant and feel unfair.
Yin Xu was originally a man of many talents, but because he married Ye Qiongying, he became a gigolo who lived off others!
Why!
Perhaps it was the illusion of success at that time that gave him confidence, making him feel that he could still be successful even if he left the Ye family.
Or maybe his affection for Leng Qianqian had confused his mind, and he always felt that he could do anything. Why bother looking for a woman who would overshadow his own light? Only someone like Leng Qianqian who regarded him as her heaven and was novel and interesting was worthy of being his wife.
Peace and separation.
Falling out with the Ye family.
He even plotted against Du Xiang's son to frame Ye Qiongying.
When the Du family was defeated and Ye Qiongying also went to Pingwu City, Yin Xu thought this was his chance to start over, but unexpectedly, it was the beginning of a nightmare.
Life is not easy without money.
He thought he was noble and arrogant. After he had to pay back the money to the Ye family, he was repeatedly suppressed in the court. He was directly sent back home and could no longer enter the court. He only had the title of a marquis, but nothing else.
The married elder sister was divorced, the health of the old mother at home began to deteriorate, and there was also a second wife who was sucking her blood.
Leng Qianqian, who thought she would marry into the Marquis's Mansion with honor, was ultimately no match for Old Madam Yin, who used filial piety to suppress Yin Xu. She was carried into the Marquis's Mansion in a sedan chair and became Madam Leng.
But Yin Xu was unable to marry a new wife.
After all, he has no money, no future, and a history of favoring concubines over his wife. Who would be willing to send their own daughter to suffer like this?
Therefore, in Leng Qianqian's view, this Madam Leng was no different from the principal wife, and she got used to it over time.
A few years ago, war broke out on the border.
Yin Xu and Leng Qianqian were still feeling proud of themselves.
Ye Qiongying was so arrogant, she must have died under the enemy's horses' hooves by now, right?
At the same time, I am a little worried.
Without the main force of the Ye family army, can Pingwu City still stop the enemy's invasion? Should they flee to another place with their only belongings?
Before they could take any action, Pingwu City was already safe.
It is said that Ye Qiongying, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, played a great role in this. Not only did she see through the enemy's plan in advance, she also led the army to defend an important battle. Together with Pang Li, they successfully captured the two countries of Dongchen and Xili.
Thanks to them, Da Qi was able to remain stable for many more years, and it also gained two more vassal states that were afraid of being attacked.
It is also said that in order to boost morale, His Majesty went to Pingwu City specifically and personally participated in the battle. He was saved by the eldest daughter of the Ye family and fell in love with her at first sight.
The generals and soldiers in the army were convinced by Miss Ye and petitioned to confer the title of general on Miss Ye, return the Ye family tiger talisman, rebuild the Ye family army, and guard Pingwu City.
His Majesty pursued Miss Ye for a long time before he persuaded her. He personally named her the queen and promised that there would be no one else in the harem.
And if General Ye, who has become the Queen, is willing, she can continue to stay in Pingwu City. His Majesty will return to the capital regularly to handle state affairs, and then rush to reunite with her.
It is said that a couple in the Ye family army did just that and gave Your Majesty the conditions to persuade General Ye.
At that time, the army returned to the capital to receive the title.
Yin Xu's family and Leng Qianqian were in the crowd, watching Ye Qiongying sitting on a horse in military uniform, accepting the worship of the people. Even the emperor in the carriage behind her was looking at her with admiration, no longer as cold and violent as before.
On the contrary, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was unable to make ends meet, and finally had to sell off the house and servants and squeeze into a small courtyard.
What’s the point of talking about love without money?
Yin Xu directly drove the second wife away and no longer cared about his reputation outside.
After that, he became obsessed with the outside world, and his relationship with Leng Qianqian gradually faded away amidst the daily quarrels.
"This is not home..." Yin Xu stumbled away, but he was not heading towards the courtyard. Everything in front of him was blurry, as if everything he saw was double.
"My home... I am the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, my home is the Marquis's Mansion... Yes, my wife's surname is Ye, how could I live in such a small place? I... I..."
"thump!"
He fell into the river.
Blow out a stream of bubbles.
In the dead of night, no one noticed his suffocating face, which slowly disappeared among the weeds at the bottom of the river.
In the dilapidated courtyard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, Leng Qianqian heard what the servant had told her, returned to her room, wiped away her tears, and hung a white cloth on the beam.
Die, and you can return to the modern world...
However, when she put the cloth strip around her neck, she regretted it.
She is afraid.
She doesn't want to die.
Better to die than live.
She put down the white cloth and got off the stool.
So be it……
It's just this life. When Yin Xu comes back, she will admit her mistake. At worst, she can find a few beauties to win his heart. She doesn't believe that she can't defeat a few ancient people.
Leng Qianqian recalled another person who had won before, and a smile appeared on her lips.
But...that person is now the queen, a female general, the idol of millions of girls in Da Qi, the partner most desired by men, and the hero most admired.
Her smile gradually disappeared again.
how could be?
I will not lose.
I am a time traveler, and these all belong to me.
I just... just...
Just what?
It can't be that I didn't achieve these achievements just because of true love...
