Chapter 337: Husband and Wife Quarrel

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Emperor Zhao Qian had left, but the legend he left behind in Chenzhou could not be calmed down.

Heng Yi followed suit.

His reputation shook the city.

This was especially true for those wealthy merchants and councilors who needed to get the Emperor’s calligraphy. When they came to Heng Manor again, they were not empty-handed.

Even Heng Yi didn’t dare to accept their expensive gifts.

When Master Feng helped to sell the calligraphy, he accepted the gifts smoothly and asked Housekeeper Liu to register them.

There was nothing to do but to accept them.

He would have been giving them dignity for accepting their gifts. If they wanted to buy something, the other party would be willing to give them this for convenience.

Heng Yi and the others were very busy choosing the location for his army.

Han Qiao was also very busy preparing for Han Chi’s wedding.

The days were getting closer and closer to the sixth day of the sixth month.

As they were busy with their own things, both the husband and wife would not see each other for a few days. They did not even have time to talk.

At the end of the fifth month, the Gong Prince’s consort sent people to send over some red bayberries. Each one was ripped, and dark red, and Ah-Yao liked to eat this kind the most.

He could eat a little red bayberry’s flesh with a thread.

Then, Han Qiao used the red bayberries to cook some red bayberry soups and chilled them to make them even more enjoyable.

The children liked it, and so did the adults.

Han Qiao quickly stopped and enjoyed a cup of wine as well. It chilled her heart and made her feel happy.

Her fatigue seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Han Chi’s wedding naturally had to be grand. After all, it was her first child’s wedding and he was marrying a princess. It could not be done badly.

Moreover, Li Mi’s dowry was too much.

So much so that Han Qiao was speechless.

Did the Gong Prince’s consort empty the palace?

Consort Fei did not empty the Imperial Residence. She only gave more than 90% of her things.

When the Gong Prince saw the dowry list, he was stunned for a long time.

Only then did he understand that his wife had been separated from him.

He aggressively went to find the Gong Prince’s consort.

She was teaching Li Mi how to keep house.

Han Qiao had also told the Gong Prince’s consort that after Li Mi married into the Heng family, she would be in charge of the restaurant and inn, and all the family matters would be handed over to Li Mi and the children.

As her sister-in-law, Li Mi would probably have to work harder.

Therefore, Consort Fei teaches Li Mi the way to manage the family.

Han Qiao was gentle and easy to get along with, while Heng Yi was taciturn but generous.

Han Chi’s two brothers were still young, so she needed to take care of them and teach them a thing or two. Her soon-to-be three sisters-in-law were also good friends, so she didn’t have to worry about getting along.

The main thing she needed to worry about was the other complicated matters. At first, as a new daughter-in-law, it would be difficult for her to manage the servants. Fortunately, she was a princess, and her status was enough to suppress those servants with ulterior motives.

It was then that the Gong Prince walked aggressively into the room. Yet the Gong Prince’s consort merely glanced at him indifferently.

He asked Li Mi to leave.

Li Mi looked worried.

“You may leave.” The Gong Prince’s consort said.

“Yes,” Li Mi bowed to her parents and then left.

Just as she reached the door, she heard her father questioning her mother, “You gave Mi’er so much for her dowry, what about the rest of the children?” “What should we do? Those things that I’m giving away are mine. 1 can give it to whoever 1 want. Is it wrong to give it to my own daughter? What do the other children have to do with me? I’m not their biological mother. With you as their biological father, you can give your concubines millions of taels of silver. 1 think you won’t treat the children badly.”

When the Gong Prince’s consort said this, he could detect a hint of anger in her voice.

The Gong Prince thought about how he had given the Secondary Consort Wen so much silver and how the Secondary Consort Wen had spent all these years taking so many things for free. He felt guilty.

“Your Highness, I’ll still say the same thing no matter how much you will convince me otherwise. Let’s just leave it at that. Don’t bother me, 1 don’t care about you. You can give them however much you want, I won’t ask. You can pamper whoever you want, and 1 won’t be jealous.”

“Do you know why 1 married Mi’er off so early? 1 would have waited until she was at least eighteen before I let her marry. But I changed my mind. Because you’re too biased. You scolded her without asking why. You’re a father in vain. You spoil your concubine and destroy your wife in vain. You’re a husband in vain.”

The Gong Prince’s face was red with anger and he raised his hand to hit the Gong Prince’s consort.

Consort Fei was not afraid. She raised her head and showed her cheek to him.

The Gong Prince took a few deep breaths before fiercely saying, “You’re a shrew.”

In the end, the slap did not land.

“Do you think I didn’t know? You have an affair with that doctor with the surname Ren, and you haven’t forgotten him all these years. If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t find where he went, I would have killed him and thrown his head in front of you.”

The Gong Prince’s consort’s eyes turned red and her face turned pale.

She was trembling.

Hatred surged in her heart.

She suddenly laughed coldly, “You’re nothing more than this.”

She pointed at the door, “Get out.”

“Get lost…”

She roared sharply.

The Gong Prince’s face darkened, “Don’t regret it.”

He turned around and left.

Li Mi hid at the side and looked at her Father’s angry back before running back to the main courtyard.

She saw her mother crying.

She went forward to hug her mother and cried, “Mother, don’t be sad. You have me and Brother.”

After a short while, the Gong Prince’s consort forced a smile.

That’s right.

She had a pair of good children.

The Heng family and the Han family had arrived at the beginning of the sixth month and were asking about Heng’s residence at the city gate.

The other party brought them over directly. Dong Lai offered to reward the guards at the gate, but the other party refused.

Dong Lai respectfully led the two families into the manor.

Heng Yi and Han Qiao weren’t there.

Sun Xiu greeted the visitors.

“Greetings, Grandfathers, Grandmothers…”

They bowed one by one.

Then, she brought them to the guest house.

She ordered the servants to prepare hot water, food, and a change of clothes.

The young girl’s confident and skillful attitude was something not to be underestimated.

The Heng brothers had all brought their families with them. They had a beautiful plan: they wouldn’t cause any trouble, and they would just be obedient and stay put.

Meanwhile, at the Han family’s side.

Father Han and Mother Han had white hair hanging down their temples, and they looked very old.

The three Han brothers were also tanned.

The daughters’ cousins were very reserved and looked at Sun Xiu and Sun Yi cautiously.

After all, Sun Xiu and Sun Yiyi were gorgeous. They had a head full of pearl hairpins, and the pouches on their waists were woven with pearls. They even used pearl flowers on their shoes.

They were extremely wealthy.

Their uncles were also exhausted.

Sun Xiu told them to rest first and unpack in their rooms.

“Father and Mother are busy outside. Eldest Brother is getting married in a few days, so Father and Mother are very busy.”

On the Han family’s side, other than the three absent aunts, the three cousins were all present.

As for the other families, their elders were here. Uncle and aunt weren’t here, but a few cousins were.

Sun Xiu recognized them. She was still smiling. She didn’t become arrogant because of her change in status or because she learned to read. She didn’t look down on others.

She whispered to her cousins and invited them to her courtyard where the three sisters lived.

Zeng Qin’er and Wenyan were also in her courtyard.

So were the servants and maids.

Zeng Qin’er and Wenyan had their own rooms.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi returned home in the evening and learned that the two families had arrived.

Han Qiao’s face was filled with joy.

She thought that Grandpa and Grandma were here too…
