My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 233 - Deeper Misunderstanding

Chapter 233: Deeper Misunderstanding

In the Su Residence, during the family dinner.

The group of wives and Su Wen were eating together.

Wu Muyu sat on Su Wen’s left hand while Xie Yiyi sat on his right. On the other hand, Yan Luoying sat the furthest, opposite Su Wen.

After hesitating for a while, Su Wen said, “I think… it’s not a big deal to let Wu Yuehan stay in the Inner Residence.”

“Okay,” Yan Luoying replied without saying anything.

Wu Muyu looked at her and said in a blaming tone, “Sister Yan, you’re really something. Aunt Wu is so beautiful, what’s wrong with living here? But you insisted that she was old and that there was a generation gap between them when she came in. You even took advantage of her seniority. Look, now Brother Su is in trouble, isn’t he going to be interrogated?”

As she spoke, she left Su Wen a little and said with a smile, “Brother Su, don’t worry. If you let Aunt Wu in, even if all of us are in a bad mood, we will definitely not make a fuss with Brother. If any of the sisters cry secretly, I will help Brother persuade them. If my heart feels stuffy, I will cry a few more times, but I guarantee that Brother will not see it.”

Su Wen: “….”

In short, there was no intention of them letting anyone from the outside stay here.

Seeing that the little girl was leading this conversation as the vanguard, Yan Luoying also added in a soft voice, “It’s indeed not a big deal for Wu Yuehan to stay in the Inner Residence. However, Husband, you still have to abide by the rules. If you think that this person can be taken into the residence and be considered a sister, you can naturally do so.

However, since you said that you won’t take her in first, it’s better not to put her in the Inner Residence. Not everyone can enter the residence. If you like her, you can settle her outside. I’ll pay for the residence.”

Su Wen waved his hand and said with a smile, “What are you talking about? I was just speaking casually. In the end, I’ll still listen to your opinions. I’ll have her stay in the Outer Residence.”

Actually, he truly was just casually asking.

Since the ladies did not agree, Su Wen naturally would not force them.

In reality, to Yan Luoying and the others, if Su Wen had directly asked to take her into the residence, they would not think of going against him.

Under such ambiguous circumstances, they would not let Su Wen accept it if they could.

Did they really think that their house was too big? Was there already not enough people?

In this sense, the people of the Inner Residence were all strategic allies.

Every time one of them entered, Su Wen’s favor would be divided amongst even more individuals.

Of course, if Su Wen was very determined, they would naturally not object.

Yan Luoying was the same. She considered Su Wen’s feelings even more than her own.

Yan Luoying knew very well that Su Wen wanted to accept Wu Muyu and Zhao Wanrou, so she would not object.

However for Wu Yuehan, Su Wen clearly had no intention of accepting her into his residence. So why would she allow her to stay here?

At the end of the day, one’s residence was for family members.

As everyone was eating, someone suddenly came up with a report that Wu Lie had arrived.

Su Wen was stunned. Why was this guy here during dinner time?

Su Wen put down his chopsticks and smiled. “You guys eat first, I’ll go and see how he’s doing.”

With that said, he stood up and left.

In the living room, Wu Lie quickly entered.

He had originally returned to the inn and after thinking about it, his mind was filled with the ‘beautiful figure’ of the Third Prince. He could not tolerate it any longer and planned to take his mind off by meeting with Su Wen to seek guidance.

After all, in terms of pursuing women, Su Wen was definitely better than him.

When he saw Su Wen, he said excitedly, “Brother-in-law, help me!”

“Harh?”

Su Wen was dumbfounded. “Help you with what?”

“I’ve taken a fancy to a woman!” Wu Lie said seriously.

Su Wen smiled. “That’s a good thing.”

“But she didn’t like me.” Wu Lie was a little dejected.

Su Wen put on a gloating expression. “That’s too sad.”

Wu Lie walked in front of Su Wen and stared at him. “So you have to help me! If you don’t help me, I’ll tell my father to teach you a lesson.”

Su Wen pursed his lips. “Why didn’t you tell your father to come and snatch the bride? That would be great. A 5th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator can snatch a common woman, and even the emperor wouldn’t dare to interfere. That would save a lot of trouble!”

“You…”

Hearing Su Wen’s sarcasm, Wu Lie gritted his teeth and said, “Are you going to help or not?”

“Of course I’m going to help!” This was for sure, but Su Wen persuaded, “But I have to make it clear to you. I’m only helping you to give you ideas and think of a way. If you want to use force, this matter will definitely not work.”

Wu Lie sneered and said, “Am I the kind of person you think I am? I just want you to help me come up with an idea.”

“Alright then… which family does she belong to?” Su Wen asked.

“She seems to be a princess of the royal family,” Wu Lie said honestly. “When I saw her today, I was mesmerized by her. That aura, those eyes, I was really tempted…”

Su Wen felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard that. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright, alright. Don’t tell me such disgusting words. Go and tell her instead.”

“But she doesn’t like me!”

Su Wen touched his chin and asked, “Then tell me, what happened? How can I help you?”

Wu Lie honestly recounted his experience in the morning.

When Su Wen heard this, he stroked his chin.

He complained, “You’re too scary. Those who don’t know might think that you’re just being a total gangster.”

to think he actually stopped a girl on the streets, and his first few sentences was that his brother-in-law was the Nanli King.

He even held onto the other party’s sword and refused to let go. He took advantage of the moment when the other party pulled back and let go, causing the other party to lose her balance.

No matter how Su Wen looked at it, he looked like a playboy teasing an innocent woman.

Wu Lie said helplessly, “I don’t have a choice either. If I let go and she leaves, where can I find her?”

“Hehe, so you can find her now?”

Wu Lie said with a bitter expression, “Isn’t that why I’m here to look for you? Help me think of a way.”

Su Wen pondered. Wu Lie’s path of love was too bumpy.

He did have to help. He smiled and said, “Alright, if you want me to say something, you have to first be respectful the next time you see her. You have to think about what you have to say the next time you meet her! Don’t go up and ask her to marry you. You have to understand her first, right?

You, on the other hand, didn’t even ask for her name and don’t even know which princess she is. I’ll take a look in two days and find an opportunity to bring you into the palace to take a look. We’ll discuss more after you meet up with her again.”

Wu Lie said helplessly, “Alright then, don’t forget!”

“Don’t worry! But speaking of which, you can’t talk to others about who your backers are when you’re courting a princess. You have to talk to them about relationships… You have to be sweet-tongued. Women are all willing to listen to nice things. Come, let me teach you a few words…”

The two of them started a long lesson on picking up girls.

Su Wen could be considered to have put in a lot of effort… to impart his insights to the best of his abilities… However, Su Wen did not know that the woman Wu Lie was pursuing was a little special…

In the royal court of Chu, Su Wen stood in front of everyone.

Xiang Feiyan introduced Su Wen’s background to everyone present in the court assembly today.

At this moment, everyone realized that this person was not of humble origins. It was no wonder that he could help Xiang Feiyan successfully ascend the throne.

Looking at Su Wen’s handsome face, many people sighed to themselves. No wonder this path of sending men to the current Emperor Chu was not feasible.

After Xiang Feiyan finished speaking, she smiled and said, “Everyone knows Su Wen’s background now. No matter what, he is now my Great Chu Nanli King. I don’t wish for anyone to disrespect him.”

Haha!

The ministers in the court ridiculed in their hearts. Who dared to be disrespectful to him? If one was disrespectful, their only outcome was to get beaten up.

However, no one dared to say anything.

Su Wen turned to look at the officials and waved his hand with a smile. He introduced himself, “Hello everyone, I am Su Wen, my father… is Su Changqing, the former prime minister of Great Zhou.”

Although Old Su was dead, Su Wen still habitually called out his name.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

However, no one dared to say anything.

At this moment, the Third Prince finally understood!

Wasn’t he the one who came out of the palace? No wonder Xiang Feiyan turned around and reprimanded him. So it turned out that the pillow talk had already occurred at that time.

Wasn’t this akin to kicking an iron plate?

Xiang Feiyan then looked at Su Wen and said with a smile, “Since Nanli King’s mother has also entered the capital, I have already arranged for a residence to be tidied up. The residence is filled with maidservants. In a while, the Nanli King can invite the elders in.”

She naturally had her own thoughts.

Since Su Wen’s mother and the other Madams had come to the capital, how could she not care?

Wouldn’t that make her look bad?

To her, this was just a casual sentence. What was this called? Having situational awareness, knowing how to conduct oneself appropriately.

Although she was an emperor, she still wanted to show off in front of the man she loved.

Of course, she had to take care of Su Wen’s mother. However, she did not plan to interfere with her brother-in-law, father-in-law, and brothers. She would let Su Wen slowly find a suitable residence for all of them.

As expected, Su Wen’s eyes flashed with gratitude as he bowed. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

After the court session ended, Su Wen left.

The Third Prince shook his head helplessly as he left.

He also wanted to be sent out now. He and the Fourth Prince were both military officials, and they had formed their own faction with a few of the other civil and military officials in the court that originally had some relationships with them.

However, if he wanted to advance another step in his ambitions, he had to either lead troops into battle or let his subordinates climb up the ranks.

Compared to that, he was still more inclined to be transferred out. It was not so easy for a civil official to climb up.

After exiting the palace, he was just about to leave when the Fourth Prince, Xiang Chun, suddenly called out to him, “Third Sister, don’t leave yet. I have something to say to you.”

The Fourth Prince pulled him to the side.

He said seriously, “Third Sister, tell me, we’ve been fighting for so many years. Now, both of us are down and out and are hibernating in the capital. It’s as if our hands and feet have been tied up. We have to find a way to transfer ourselves out of here.”

The Third Prince could not be bothered to correct him. Ever since he took the medicine and changed his appearance, this bastard had never changed his words.

He kept calling out the words ‘Third Sister’! Obviously, he did it on purpose.

The Third Prince squinted his eyes, “And then? What do you mean?”

Xiang Chun smiled and said, “What I mean is that in two days, I want to ask for orders to attack Ji Luo County. Third Sister, you can get your men to speak for me. When the time comes, I’ll go out first and take the opportunity to stay outside. After that, I’ll find a suitable opportunity to speak for Third Sister. We’ll both then be transferred out together, what do you think?”

The Third Prince sneered. “You want to be transferred out? Do you think Su Wen will agree? He’s not our big sister!”

Xiang Chun smiled and said, “Shouldn’t I try everything? If I try a few more times, I might succeed. Besides, everyone in the court is helping me. Even if Su Wen can veto it once or twice, if I try enough times, Big Sister might have some ideas.”

“Hehe, you want to use me as a tool? Dream on.” The Third Prince rejected without hesitation.

Xiang Chun’s expression darkened, clearly a little displeased. But how could the Third Prince care what he thought? However, he suddenly saw the Fourth Prince looking behind him.

Turning around, he saw Wu Lie walking over.

Wu Lie could not forget the Third Prince, so he came to the palace early in the morning to wait.

He just hoped that he could catch another glimpse of her.

Coincidentally, he saw the Third Prince heading down. If there were more people, he might not have noticed. However, Xiang Chun and the Third Prince had pulled each other to the side, and Wu Lie recognized her as a result!

Wasn’t this his goddess? He was overjoyed and ran over.

He walked to the Third Prince’s side and bowed politely. He cupped his hands and said, “Miss Xiang, I’ve been waiting for a long time. I’ve finally seen you again. When I saw you yesterday, I fell in love with you. I was rude to you as a result. Please forgive me!”

From Su Wen, he knew that the surname of the Chu royal family was Xiang. He felt that it was too unfamiliar to address her as Your Highness, so he addressed her as Miss.

As he spoke, he followed Su Wen’s instructions and praised the girl more. He smiled and said, “Miss Xiang, it seems like you’re leaving the court now? You look different in this court uniform. It’s so beautiful!”

He didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, Yan Luoying was also a military official back then.

However, the Third Prince immediately cursed in his heart, ‘F**k your mother…’

Was this a fucking rude comment towards him?

By the side, Xiang Chun could no longer hold on. His entire face was twisted as he forcefully suppressed his laughter, letting out a strange humming sound!

Wu Lie looked at him and said unhappily, “You rascal, why are you acting so strange?”

“Pfft…” Xiang Chun finally laughed.

“Hahahaha! I’m sorry, this warrior, I really couldn’t help it. You like Third Sister, right? Work hard! All the best!”

“Xiang Chun!” The Third Prince glared at him.

Xiang Chun smiled and said, “Third Sister, I see that this warrior has a muscular body, superb martial arts, and is handsome. Why don’t you give him a chance?”

If the Third Prince had agreed to Xiang Chun’s request just now, Xiang Chun would not have kicked him when he was down. However, the Third Prince had rejected his suggestion just now, causing Xiang Chun to feel stifled. Seeing this opportunity, why would he not take the chance to make things difficult for the Third Prince?

As he praised, Wu Lie’s chest puffed up a little, and his face revealed a hint of smugness.

This brother was a good person!

Wu Lie felt more assured, and he turned back to look at Xiang Chun as he smiled, “So you’re Miss Xiang’s younger brother.”

“I’m a f*cking man! A man! Do you not understand human language?” The Third Prince suppressed his voice and roared. He was about to explode.

How could Wu Lie believe her? “Miss Xiang, you must be joking. This brother here calls you Third Sister, so how can you call yourself a man? I really admire you. I only hope that Miss will give me a chance!”

Xiang Chun chimed in, “Third Sister, he’s so sincere, you should agree to it!”

The Third Prince wanted to cry but had no tears.

He looked up at the sky and sighed. He wanted to die more than ever at this point!

He was tired. What was the use of explaining?

At this moment, Wu Lie began to use his ultimate move. He stared into the Third Prince’s eyes and said, “Your eyes are really beautiful… but not as beautiful as mine… because I have you in my eyes!”

This string of mushy words of endearment was spat out just like that.

The Third Prince trembled in anger.

By the side, Xiang Chun was applauding wildly!

“Brother, well said! Third Sister, aren’t you moved by such romantic words? Is your heart really made of steel?”

The Third Prince could not take it anymore and grabbed Wu Lie’s arm.

He said to Xiang Chun, “Scram! Stay away from me!”

As he spoke, he pulled Wu Lie to the side. Obviously, he didn’t want this bastard Xiang Chun to continue to wing him.

Xiang Chun laughed loudly, “Brother, you can do it! My Third Sister is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed. I wish you a hundred years of happiness and to bear children early!”

The Third Prince was furious. He picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it towards Xiang Chun.

Xiang Chun’s figure flickered as he dodged it, laughing as he left.

This was too interesting, too interesting.

The Third Prince pulled Wu Lie to the side.

If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely call his guards to kill him!

However, this fellow had already said that he was Su Wen’s brother-in-law!

The Third Prince was extremely fearful of Su Wen at this moment…

It would be fine if he could bring down Su Wen, but seeing that Su Wen was in the limelight, he really did not want to offend him.

He did not want to explain to Wu Lie that he was a man anymore.

He could also tell that this bastard didn’t believe him at all. Furthermore, with Xiang Chun’s help, Wu Lie’s misunderstanding had deepened.

“Brother, tell me, what do you like about me?” The Third Prince planned to chat with Wu Lie and solve this problem.

“Temperament! Looks! I like everything about you… Liking is a feeling, as if it’s destined… to last for tens of thousands of years…” Little Wu, who had undergone Su Wen’s training, spoke differently from yesterday.

Such sweet words had never been said in this world. If it were a girl, she might really feel something.

But the Third Prince… only wanted to throw up when he heard it.

He pondered for a moment and thought of an excuse. “Brother, I’m actually already married!”

Rumble crash bang!

It was as if a bolt from the blue had exploded in Wu Lie’s ears.

Married?

Wu Lie wanted to cry.

Tears couldn’t help but flow down his face…

“Eh?” Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong!

“You’re lying! If you were married, why would your brother wish the two of us a hundred years of happiness? To have children early?”

The Third Prince held his forehead in exasperation.

Xiang Chun! This bastard! Trash! You still want to be transferred out? Dream on!

“Alright! I don’t want to waste my breath on you. I don’t like you anyway, so stay away from me! Stay far away!” The Third Prince flew into a rage out of humiliation and left.

Wu Lie was undaunted as he shouted from behind him, “Miss Xiang, don’t worry. I definitely won’t give up!”

The Third Prince staggered! He almost fell to the ground.

“Don’t f*cking call me that, you idiot!” After cursing, the Third Prince sped up and left.

However, Wu Lie was delighted. “Hehe, she said not to call her that. Doesn’t that mean that we will have a chance to meet again? There’s progress!”

On the other side, Su Wen had already brought his mother, Su Nuannuan, and Su Changqing’s concubines into the residence arranged by Xiang Feiyan.

Although it could not be compared to the Su Residence in the past, it could still be considered a majestic mansion.

After everyone moved in and made arrangements,

Su Wen gathered Su Changqing’s wives and concubines together.

He sighed and said in a deep voice, “My heart is filled with grief after my father’s death. As for my aunts, I think they are the same. However, everyone has to look forward. No matter what my aunts think, you can tell me… If you are willing to continue living in the Su Residence, you can still live in this residence. Everything will be like in the past.

If you are unwilling to live in the Su Residence, you can come and find me. I will give you enough money to live without worries for the rest of your lives. You can leave. Even if you remarry in the future, our Su Residence will not interfere.”

Su Wen thought that Su Changqing was dead, so it was natural.

Even in this era, it was already common for women to remarry.

Some of Su Changqing’s concubines were even only a few years older than Su Wen.

It did not make sense for her to be a widow for the rest of her life.

But the problem was that Old Su was not dead…

If he knew that Su Wen was doing this, he would probably throw his shoe straight at him!

Su Wen did not know what these women were thinking, but he had to make it clear.

To put it bluntly, if someone really wanted a man, wouldn’t it be worse if they secretly did it in private?

Such a scandal would be even more disgusting.

He might as well make things clear. Those who were willing to leave and those who were willing to stay could continue to stay.

This was the logic.

A sharp glint flashed across Su Wen’s eyes as he swept his gaze across the group of women.. “But if you stay in the residence and ruin my reputation, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
