Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Qingxue's eyes were red. Just like that, the man she loved had been taken away from her...

E'er looked at Qingxue and her eyes suddenly turned red. She sighed and said, "Sister Qingxue, do you like Liu Ye too?"

Qingxue lowered her head slightly and said nothing.

E'er naturally saw through it and said, "Sister Qingxue, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you like him, you like him. If you don't like him, you don't like him. If you like him, just say it out loud to his face. If you don't like him, ignore him and stay away from him. Women also need to have ambition!"

Qingxue whispered, "Sister, how can I be as bold as you?"

E'er snorted and replied, "Courage? Why not? Liking someone doesn't mean you're going to steal him. Why can't you just say it? It's consensual, no one can interfere. I'm just asking whether you like it or not. You only have one chance!"

Qingxue had no choice but to nod slightly as a response.

E'er put her arm around Qingxue's shoulders and said, "That's easy. Since that's the case, let's not distinguish between old and young. We'll be sisters from now on, and no one can bully us. Also, this guy is a playboy. We have to keep a close eye on him no matter what. When I'm not around, you keep a close eye on him. When you're not around, I'll keep an eye on him. We absolutely can't let him mess around with other girls again!"

Qingxue's eyes widened immediately, and she stammered, "No way? Big Brother isn't that kind of person. He's very well-behaved."

E'er snorted coldly, "No? What do you know? Wasn't my body taken away by him for no apparent reason? And besides the two of us, it seems he has a lover!"

Qingxue's heart was shocked. She looked at E'er blankly and asked, "No way, sister, he has another one outside? Why didn't he tell me about it?"

"Humph, did he tell you about me before?"

Qingxue smiled bitterly. That was true. This guy kept it a secret so thoroughly that she had no idea there was a Dong E!

"Then who is that lover? Is he in Jinan? Or in the capital?"

"It's not Jinan, nor Beijing, but the Forbidden City..."

E'er lamented, "This guy is so audacious that he actually fell in love with the Empress Dowager of the Forbidden City..."

Queen Mother!

Qingxue was completely stunned by E'er's words. This elder brother actually had this ability. He even took down the Empress Dowager of the Forbidden City. No wonder he had such a successful career. At such a young age, he became a second-rank Yuan official and served as a frontier governor!

Qingxue was speechless, "How could he possibly do such a thing? Wouldn't this disrupt social order? Is this how a minister should be?"

E'er said helplessly, "What can we do now? We are both focused on him now. No matter what he does, we have to support him. After all, he is our man. Even if he wants to dethrone the emperor, we sisters have to stand behind him..."

Qingxue was genuinely shocked. Dethroning the emperor? Wouldn't that be a rebellion?

"Sister, sister! How can you say such words? It will bring disaster!"

Qingxue said anxiously.

E'er said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? Sister, I've been following my father in his rebellion against the Qing for over ten years. As long as he rebels, I'll stand behind him, because he is my heaven!"

Qingxue was speechless. This sister was really a troublemaker! She even supported Liu Ye when he rebelled!

E'er continued, "Sister, let's not talk too much. Since you like him, does he know?"

Qingxue whispered, "Sister, even though I haven't told him, he must know it. How could he not see it all these days? Unless he is a piece of wood..."

E'er said carelessly, "Well, when he comes back, we'll confront him together. Since he's provoked us, he must take responsibility to the end and marry us off in a grand sedan chair! We can't let him get away with it, nor can we let him do whatever he wants. Men are all bad. If we don't keep a close eye on them, who knows what kind of shady women he'll bring in!"

Qingxue smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "Sister, even if we want to get married, we should at least have three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, right? How can we ignore these etiquettes? After all, his status is different now. He's a dignified governor. If anything bad gets out, he'll be laughed at..."

E'er chuckled and said, "It's hard to say about three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. I know that Guo Songtao. He's his sworn brother, a ready-made matchmaker. You don't have any relatives around you, and I only have my father in Baoding. The two of us can only rely on each other for survival. This time, we must not let him get away with it. We must let him marry us openly! From now on, he can give orders and commands outside, but at home, we have the final say! We must discipline him well!"

Qingxue, encouraged by E'er, also began to be tempted. Then, she frowned and said bitterly, "Sister, it still doesn't work..."

"what happened?"

Qingxue whispered, "Sister, my parents have only been dead for two or three months. It's the time of mourning. How can we talk about marriage? It's unfilial..."

E'er immediately understood that this was indeed the case. Everything else was easy to deal with, but the word "filial piety" was something that no one could avoid.

Military training camp.

Liu Ye was drinking with his brothers at this time. Things were not going smoothly. With Qingxue by his side, he was living a happy life. How enjoyable it was. Suddenly, E'er's bomb dropped. He was totally unprepared and his rhythm was completely disrupted. Now he couldn't even go home!

"grown ups!"

Gao Qi shouted.

"Nonsense! I've told you countless times, just call me big brother, why are you being so polite? I'm tired of hearing you call me sir every day!"

Liu Ye said unhappily.

Gao Qi chuckled and said, "Brother, what's there to be depressed about? It's perfect. Now you have both the first and second wives. Suddenly, we brothers have two more sisters-in-law. In a few years, I'm afraid we'll have a bunch of nephews. Haha, just be straightforward and take them all in. Mr. Dong is very satisfied with you. What are you hesitating about?"

Liu Ye said helplessly, "You sound so good, but the two of them started arguing as soon as they met! Tell me, which one is the first wife and which one is the second wife? Won't the two of them quarrel with me? You only give bad advice!"

Gao Qi shrank his neck fiercely.

Zhu Hai chuckled at the side and said, "Brother Ye, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe those two are still thinking of imitating Ehuang and Nvying. You should confront them first. Hiding is not our style."
