Ming Empire

Chapter 79 Unhappiness Between Husband and Wife

Hong Niangzi is a straightforward person and never tells lies, especially when facing her relatives.

She didn't want to hide anything from Li Yan. On the way back, she had already made up her mind to tell her husband everything, including being insulted by Cao Yue, and then Cao Yue made a 180-degree turn to treat her favorably and let her go All these things are said.

But after facing Li Yan and feeling Li Yan's fiery feelings after the two reunited after a long absence, she didn't know what to say.

She knew that if she told everything, Li Yan would definitely have a grudge, and would even look down on her, thinking that she was an unchaste woman.Cao Yue insulted her, and in the end she drank and chatted with Cao Yue, and accepted the horses and other supplies from Cao Yue.

Although Hong Niangzi felt that she should bear grudges when she was insulted by Cao Yue and should not accept his kindness, but at that time, she felt that everything was natural and happened normally, and she never thought of refusing.She doesn't even hold any grudge against Cao Yue now, but thinks that he is an upright, very magnanimous and capable man.But she just couldn't figure out how to talk about this matter, about Cao Yue.

Seeing the embarrassment and hesitation on the face of the red lady, Li Yan couldn't help being suspicious, "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Master," the red lady glanced at Li Yan, and finally said truthfully, "I didn't escape from my family, but Cao Yue let me go!"

"Cao Yue let you go?" Li Yan's thick eyebrows could not help but frowned, "Why did he let you go? She doesn't know your identity?"

"She knows the identity of the slave family." The red lady was no longer as capable as before, and became very embarrassed and stuttered. "She guessed the identity of the slave family immediately, and knew the purpose of our trip."

Li Yan's complexion changed a few times, hesitant to speak, and finally choked out a sentence: "Is he very good at martial arts?"

Li Yan knew Hong Niangzi's skills, and not many people were her opponents, including her husband.

"It shouldn't be too bad. Originally, the slave family could have killed him, but he counterattacked successfully!" Having said this, Hong Niangzi's face turned red.

Li Yan felt strange from the look of the red lady and the hesitation in her speech, and her thick eyebrows were frowned again. After thinking for a while, she whispered: "Madam, tell your husband what happened this time, and how about you?" Yes, why did Cao Yue let you go!"

"Okay, I'll tell you everything!" Hong Niangzi had no choice but to tell Li Yan everything about the incident, including how she was arrested by Cao Yue, and then took advantage of Cao Yue's carelessness. The attack was successful, but after Cao Yue's sudden chest attack, she was captured again, and later talked about world affairs with Cao Yue after drinking together.

Li Yan didn't know what it was like to hear the whole process with a strange expression on the face of the red lady, and he also found many abnormalities in the narration of the red lady.For example, the red lady wanted to kill Cao Yue, but after Cao Yue succeeded in fighting back, she treated the red lady politely. Later, the red lady drank with Cao Yue. Cao Yue not only released the red lady who wanted to kill him, but also gave horses and gifts It's unreasonable to be entangled!
Why didn't Cao Yue bear hatred and treat the red lady who wanted to kill him so politely?Why didn't the red lady bear the grudge against Cao Yue who humiliated her, and in the end they drank together and accepted these things from Cao Yue?A strange and strange feeling rose in Li Yan's heart.

After the matter was finished, the red lady's expression became even weirder, and her pretty face also turned red. Seeing Li Yan's strange expression, she quickly explained: "Sir, at that time, I really wanted to kill Cao Yue and solve this problem for the rebels. I have a serious problem in my heart, but I accidentally followed his way, and my success fell short..."

Li Yan stared blankly at the red lady for a while, and finally asked strangely: "He humiliated you, why do you still drink with him?"

"Nujia..." The red lady muttered: "Master, I just think he is a hero, at least he defeated Jiannu several times, and what he said made sense, so I sat down and listened to him. Mr. The servants know that they are wrong, they should not have any friendship with the officials, next time they meet him, they will definitely kill him."

"He is quite capable, even you admire him, and he doesn't even care about humiliation," Li Yan felt a little ashamed and angry in his heart. His wife was insulted, hugged and hugged by a man, and wanted to caress her private life In the end, the two drank together, and his wife accepted a gift from others. He felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and couldn't help but sneer.

Li Yan has always been a proud person, and he also cares about his relationship with Hong Niangzi very much. Over the years, the two have always treated each other with respect, and their relationship is very good.He felt that Hong Niangzi would not lie to men other than him.Generals like Cao Yue are even more quick to kill.Unexpectedly, Hong Niangzi was not only humiliated by Cao, but Hong Niangzi didn't hold grudges. The two started drinking and chatting like friends.

A feeling of being cuckolded arises spontaneously.

In the Ming Dynasty, the requirements for women's chastity were a bit abnormal. Li Yan, who was originally a scholar, was also deeply influenced by this concept. What is "ambiguous" about men.

But now, his wife had such a thing with other men, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Before that, he thought that Cao Yue was a respectable person. Even if the two met on the battlefield in the future, he would give him enough respect.But now, he has no such thoughts at all. In his heart, Cao Yue is just a humble and shameless person, a villain who he wants to kill quickly.

Li Yan wished he could go to Datong with his troops now, capture Cao Yue, humiliate him severely, and kill him again.

The most worrying thing happened. Seeing Li Yan's face was livid, and the hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly, the red lady regretted it.She just regrets something, whether she shouldn't drink and chat with Cao Yue and accept his gifts, or whether she shouldn't tell Li Yan these things, she doesn't know.

"Sir, my family... my family..."

"Ma'am, you've worked hard all the way, go to rest earlier, my husband still has some military affairs to deal with, so I won't accompany you for now!" Li Yan said, got up, showed an ugly smile at the red lady, and didn't wait. The red lady replied, and started to leave the tent.

Seeing Li Yan's leaving figure, followed by Hong Niang who stood up, after standing blankly for a while, big tears rolled down from his eyes.

Originally, when the husband and wife reunited after a long absence, some love was inevitable, especially for men in their prime like Li Yan and Hong Niangzi, it would be like firewood and fire.But Li Yan didn't say anything in this regard, he told Hong Niangzi to give birth early and rest.

The meaning of this is of course clear to Hong Niangzi, she is very sad, she knows her husband, she knows that Li Yan is suspicious, and suspects that she and Cao Yue have done something wrong.
