Ming Empire

Chapter 86
The red lady left without saying goodbye, and Li Yan was always worried.Although he knew that the red lady was strong in martial arts, and had always been bold and cautious, but after all, the couple had a deep relationship, so he was still very worried, fearing that something might happen to the red lady.Now hearing that Hong Niangzi has returned safely, my hanging heart is also relieved.

Although Li Yan was arrogant and could not tolerate the changes in Hong Niangzi's mind and the things that happened between her and Cao Yue, the two had a deep relationship, how could they abandon everything because of these things?These days, he has been refusing to think about eating and drinking. If he hadn't been burdened with heavy responsibilities, he might have gone out to find support.

When the red lady appeared in front of Li Yan, the excitement in Li Yan's heart was suppressed again. He didn't show any excitement or joy, but looked at the red lady calmly, and said without emotion: "You come back up!"

However, seeing the haggard and dusty look of the red lady, he still couldn't help but feel distressed, he really wanted to go forward, hug the red lady into his arms, comfort her with his generous embrace, and the two of them would die together for a while , to express their feelings.

But because of the grudge in his heart, he didn't do anything, and tried his best to show himself as calm as water.

"My lord, my family...is back, and my family has gone to Datong," Hong Niangzi said softly to Li Yan with a downcast expression, "My family wanted to assassinate Cao Yue, but...failed!"

When she returned to Daying, Li Yan didn't express any excitement or excitement, as if it didn't matter, which disappointed Hong Niangzi very much.She really didn't expect that the couple's love and affection for several years could not be worth some small misunderstandings. She was really heartbroken.

Unexpectedly, Hong Niangzi really went to Datong to assassinate Cao Yue. Li Yan was surprised and delighted. What surprised him was that his wife was so bold that she dared to go to Datong, where the army was heavily stationed, to assassinate the enemy general. What should I do?Of course, the joy is that she returned safely.However, Li Yan still didn't show any emotion on his face, and said indifferently: "You won't be captured by mistake again, so Cao Yue will let you go again?"

Hearing Li Yan say this with sarcasm, Hong Niang felt a pain in her heart, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded her head: "Msg. Let me go, let me go."

Unexpectedly, a joke turned out to be the real situation. Li Yan was surprised, and boundless anger welled up in his heart. He rushed to the red lady in two steps, waved his fists and roared: "That's true, why did Cao Yue let you go? Why did he let you go?" Is he greedy for your beauty? He insulted you again?"

He has already seen the wound on Hong Niangzi's lips, maybe this is the criminal evidence left by Cao Yue!
The red lady's pretty face turned blue and then turned pale, she opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.What should she say, could it be that she accidentally saw Cao Yue taking a bath, was pressed naked by Cao Yue, and was finally captured by mistake, and finally Cao Yue simply let her go.Who would believe that Cao Yue released her without any difficulties, and no one would believe that she, a person with high martial arts skills, was captured by Cao Yue who was taking a bath.

Some embarrassing things happened with Cao Yue, including seeing Cao Yue's naked body, and she dared not say anything about the physical contact between the two.Also, the wound on her lip was thanks to Cao Yue, and it was broken when the two hit each other.

There was no way to explain this kind of thing clearly, so she simply didn't say anything, and he also planned to let Li Yan's scolding and not answer back.She was afraid that Li Yan might suspect that the wound on her lip was related to Cao Yue, so she subconsciously wanted to cover it up.

"Why didn't you say it? Hmph, have you done something wrong, are you guilty?" The red lady's silence made Li Yan even more angry, and felt humiliated again. He believed that Cao Yue would not let the red lady go this time either. It would definitely be humiliating. The action of the red lady trying to cover the wound on her lips just now convinced him that it was left by Cao Yue.

At this time, Li Yan no longer regards Cao Yue as a gentleman. It doesn't matter how Cao Yue humiliated the red lady. The important person, he, the husband, suffered a great humiliation.He no longer regards Cao Yue as a hero, but only regards the young general of Datong as an enemy, a vicious villain whom he must kill soon.

"Master, I don't want to say anything. If you want to beat or scold, it's up to you!" While speaking, the red lady burst into tears, and Li Yan's indifference made her very sad.

"Hehe, you were insulted by Cao Yue, but you didn't feel any resentment at all. Cao Yue treated you with courtesy and accepted it with pleasure. You...you are too shameless, too chaste," Li Yan was a little incoherent in his anger , "Haha, I know, it must be that Cao Yue is younger and better than me, so you fell in love with him, and you hooked up with him, so he didn't feel ashamed to insult you at all, and instead drank with him to seek love." Huan. I, Li Yan, was blind, I never thought you were such a person, you bitch...you let me down so much!"

"Master, that's not the case!" The red lady was full of grievances, and she didn't know how to explain, she could only shake her head helplessly, tears streaming down her face, "Master, I didn't do anything to apologize to you, Please believe me, okay? Cao Yue, he... He didn't deliberately humiliate me, he let me go, just because he admired your reputation and didn't want to embarrass us, he hoped that we could..."

"Hehe, you still have to defend him and say good things for him," Li Yan laughed angrily, interrupted Hong Niangzi, and pointed at Hong Niangzi with trembling fingers, "He is an official of the imperial court. Knowing that someone who oppresses the people and acts as a gangster, he insults you, but you don’t care at all, and you drink and have fun with him, accept his gifts, and now you are still defending him in front of your husband and speaking good words for him!”

"Master, that's not what I meant," the red lady was already in tears, but she bit her lip to keep herself from crying, "Cao Yue is really not what you think, he is brave in battle and loves the people very much, This time when the slavery came, he ordered the people outside the city to escape into the city, and the military discipline was very strict, he would never allow the army to trample on the people’s crops and rob the people’s property, he is not a dog official, he is a good official!”

"That's enough, stop talking for him, don't talk anymore, I know what you're thinking, you must have fallen in love with him, you two adulterers, you must have hooked up, okay, I'll fulfill you, Write a letter of divorce now, return your freedom, you can go to him, let him marry you, or go to be his concubine." Li Yan seemed to lose his mind, and after roaring a few times, he walked back to the case On the morning, without thinking, he quickly wrote down the divorce letter, then threw it in front of the red lady who rushed over, and shouted angrily: "You go, I don't want to see you again!"

"My husband, why... why do you treat me like this?" Hong Niangzi was heartbroken, she never thought that Li Yan would treat her like this, but she didn't do anything to offend him.She picked up the divorce letter from the ground, looked at it carefully, and finally couldn't help it, and burst into tears. The hope left in her heart was completely shattered, and after looking at Li Yan with tears in her eyes, she held back her tears , put the letter of divorce into his arms.

But Li Yan still had a cold face and looked angry, ignoring what the red lady was doing.Seeing Hong Niangzi's sad look, he knew it was a bit too much, and felt very distressed and reluctant.But the arrogance and unyielding nature of his nature, as well as some unexplainable things, made him unable to say anything to show weakness, and used a mask to treat his wife coldly.

"My husband, then I'm leaving, take care of yourself, let's be husband and wife again in the next life," looked affectionately at Li Yan, but Li Yan completely ignored her, the red lady paused in her heart, and after a few words softly, Taking a step back, he suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and wiped it on his neck.
