Farming and reading family

Yi Nanzhi felt embarrassed after being asked such a question by Gao E.

She couldn't just divorce her husband like Mr. Ji said.

But if her man really did something like that, she would not tolerate it.

But now the person that the master's wife can't tolerate is her.

"You're asking the wrong person." Ji Qiuniang said sarcastically.

Gao E chuckled.

If the original owner had not married Chen Ke, she would never have chosen Chen Ke.

However, the original owner not only married Chen Ke, but also had four or five children, so Gao E would not divorce him rashly.

Divorce sounds easy and looks simple, but it is a mess when it is actually done.

This is a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Besides, the Chen family not only has Chen Ke, but also the eldest brother and the third brother, and five obedient and sensible children. As long as Chen Ke doesn't act up, it will be a good balance.

"This... is my... fault." Yi Nanzhi saluted.

"That makes some sense." Gao E nodded. "He's not the kind of person who pretends to admire someone but actually wants to possess them."

Yi Nanzhi was so embarrassed that she said, "Then I will leave now. I hope there will be no rift between the master and the mistress."

"You don't have to worry about their affairs." Ji Qiuniang rolled her eyes at Yi Nanzhi.

Yi Nanzhi bowed and left.

Ji Qiuniang watched Yi Nanzhi leave and turned to Gao E: "Are you just going to just let it go like that?"

"In everything, you should think about what you want in the end and don't do things that go in the opposite direction." Gao E saw that it was past dinner time and she hadn't eaten yet because of this matter.

“That’s the truth, but it’s too difficult to do.”

"It's normal to be difficult." Gao E asked someone to set up the meal. "Good things are hard to come by. If people want something, they should work hard for it. They can't expect others to give them what they want. If others can't give it to them, they will suffer."

"Heh." Ji Qiuniang didn't want to understand.

After lunch, Gao E went to Chen Ke’s study and took a look at his books.

Chen Ke let out a deep breath and slowly woke up, seeing Gao E reading a book at the desk.

"My husband is awake. Are you feeling unwell?" Gao E put down the book and walked to the bedside.

Chen Ke saw Gao E shaking her head and feeling a little dizzy, then slowly adjusting herself: "Where's Yi Nanzhi?"

Gao E didn't expect that Chen Ke would ask Yi Nanzhi first when she woke up: "She's gone. She has already told me about her husband."

Chen Ke suddenly became nervous: "I just think it's not easy for a woman to study."

He didn't dare tell Gao E about his little thoughts, let alone let Yi Nanzhi know.

"I know." Gao E nodded with a smile. "She has already explained everything to me. My husband should have told me earlier so that I could have made proper arrangements."

Chen Ke had a dry expression.

"So Mr. Ji and I are planning to build a girls' school," Gao E said directly.

Chen Ke had not been very supportive of this before, but now, after hearing Gao E say this, he nodded: "It is indeed not easy for women to study."

"It's just... Doctor Mu said that my husband was in a coma due to excessive convulsions, this..." Gao E looked puzzled.

Chen Ke hesitated for a long time before whispering, "To be honest, my lady, every time I touch a woman, I think of Feng's death and feel terrified."

Gao E thought Chen Ke would be able to get rid of this psychological shadow when he met true love, but why did it feel even worse? "Is it the same with me?"

Chen Ke felt ashamed when he heard his wife ask this: "I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you."

"We are an old married couple. There's nothing wrong with just talking about it. As long as you study hard, I don't mind if we don't have sex." Gao E said seriously.

When Chen Ke heard Gao E say this, he immediately felt that studying was a good idea: "Thank you for your understanding, my lady."

"Miss Yi has already left. You should explain things to her later." Gao E reminded.

"Okay." Chen Ke felt relieved.

He had been carrying this matter in his heart for the past few years, but now he felt much more relieved to talk about it.

Yi Nanzhi returned to He County without waiting for Chen Ke to explain things clearly. In order to facilitate her studies, she bought a small house in He County. She thought that she could invite her teacher to come here for a few drinks in the future, so she renovated it specially.

Now that things had turned out like this, it would be inconvenient for her to stay here any longer, so she packed up her things and left with her maid.

It was several days later that Gao E found out about this.

At the same time, Xu Boyan arrived.

Gao E calculated the time and found that even if Xu Boyan set off as soon as he received the pigeon message, he would not be able to do so quickly.

"Lord Xu?" Gao E was a little surprised.

Xu Boyan walked quickly to the main hall of the Chen family: "I went to Binzhou to supervise the shipping business. I happened to pass by Tanzhou. Qing'er asked me to come and see you."

Gao E was surprised: "Master Xu has just been the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple for a short time, right?"

"Supervising shipping affairs is a lucrative job," Xu Boyan said bluntly.

"Then Lord Xu has been promoted, congratulations." Gao E felt that Xu Boyan was taking advantage of others' flattery.

Xu Boyan sneered.

It was indeed a lucrative job, but it was not a good thing. The prince just threw out a piece of fat meat to get rid of him in order to depose Prince Qing's arm.

"Have you been in contact with He Tangchun in the past two years?" Xu Boyan asked suddenly.

"Mrs. He is a franchisee of Huanxizhu. I deliver raw materials to Xiangzhou every month." Gao E said frankly.

"Yeah." Xu Boyan nodded. "He'll probably be re-elected in Xiangzhou. Give him a heads-up and tell him to protect himself."

Gao E looked at Xu Boyan, wondering if he was going to take action against the Tao family?

Xu Boyan knew Gao E had guessed it: "Dancheng is on the coast, and the shipping business is such a big piece of fat meat. If the Tao family dares to open their mouths, I will twist their heads off."

Gao E heard Xu Boyan say this and thought for a moment: "So, they are just throwing the dog into the pile of meat buns."

Xu Boyan felt that Gao E was cursing.

"While the dog is trying to get the meat buns, what if someone tries to get the dog?" Gao E joked.

When Xu Boyan heard Gao E say this, his expression became serious. He seemed to be too proud.

Seeing that Xu Boyan didn't say anything, Gao E also shut up tactfully.

The feud between him and the Tao family did not happen overnight, but the longer it lasted, the more Xu Boyan couldn't help but want to take action.

This time, being so close to the Tao family, Xu Boyan might not be able to hold back.

"Thank you for the reminder." Xu Boyan thought for a while and said with a smile.

"You're just blinded by one thing." Gao E said it was nothing. "I just happened to need your help with something. I've already sent a pigeon to the capital, but I didn't expect you to show up."

"What's the matter?" Xu Boyan became interested.

"Let Xiaowu start writing." Gao E said directly.

Xu Boyan glanced at the sky and said, "I can't stay here for long."

"Tomorrow." Gao E said immediately.

Any day that happens to happen is a good day, and Gao E doesn't bother to look at any auspicious days.

"Okay, I just happened to go see Cao Geng today." Xu Boyan nodded.

Xu Boyan left Chen's house to find Cao Geng, and Gao E asked someone to notify Chen Ke to start preparations.

Originally, Chen Ke wanted to prepare something grand and hold a ceremony at Qingtan Academy, but time was too tight, so he could only make simple preparations at home.

Xu Boyan found Cao Geng at the dam, where he was cleaning the reservoir with the people.
