After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Gu Wanzhi never expected her newlywed husband to say such a thing.

With an incredulous look on his face, he said, "Xiao Su! What do you mean by this?"

"How long has it been? How long have we been married? And you're already starting to dislike me? I'm your wife, not some kitten or puppy."

"You can grab me and play with me when you like, and discard me whenever you don't?"

"..."

Gu Wanzhi's eyes were very red when she said these words.

He was in such a sorry state that even if he pretended to be pitiful as usual, it wouldn't arouse anyone's protective instincts.

My face is almost ruined now.

How could I not find it offensive?

Xiao Su sneered, "Originally, it was love at first sight, but all I liked was your face. I've been good to you these past few days."

"It's just that you don't cherish it."

"Once he's cured, then you can divorce her."

After saying this, Xiao Su looked at Xie Shuheng and said, "Lord Xie, Madam Jiang, are you satisfied?"

"It has nothing to do with us."

Jiang Zhiyun held Xie Shuheng's hand: "These things, no matter how much we talk about them, have nothing to do with us."

"General Xiao Su, if you want to be a gentleman, you should be responsible for your actions. It's just a marriage, yet you're transferring your wife's resentment onto us. Are you even a man?"

"By the way, my husband said you're a hypocrite."

Jiang Zhiyun covered her mouth, and then said as if she suddenly realized something.

Xiao Su chuckled lightly: "Even Jiang Niangzi knows your little schemes. It seems you can read my mind and know everything clearly."

"In that case, we are the real couple, this is what you call a soulmate. Xie Shuheng has to step aside next to us."

“Who doesn’t know about your despicable behavior? Lord Xiao has already gone this far, how could my wife possibly look down on you?”

"Then I'll wait for you and your wife to divorce."

Xiao Su's ambition and provocation are now written all over his face.

"Then I wouldn't mind crippling you."

Xie Shuheng will definitely kill someone if he says he will.

It's simply because he has always disliked saying unnecessary things.

In Jiang Zhiyun's view, Xiao Su's gaze was disrespectful, but Jiang Zhiyun was not angry. Right now, Xiao Su was just trying to provoke people on purpose.

For the sake of the bigger picture, Xiao Su deliberately provoked Jiang Zhiyun and Xie Shuheng at this moment. After all, the soldiers on both sides were civilians.

To put it bluntly, civil wars are always fought between two sides, and one of them is bound to die.

Therefore, this is the kind of scene that ordinary people least want to see.

However, it seemed that Xiao Su had already planned this out, and at this moment he left with Gu Wanzhi in his arms.

Xie Shuheng led Jiang Zhiyun out of the shop unharmed and went straight to the Freshman Restaurant, where they sat down on the second floor.

Zhang and the others quickly closed the door, leaving the young couple some private space. They didn't know what the couple wanted to say.

But I reckon there will definitely be time spent alone together.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Xie Shuheng and said with great certainty, "It can be confirmed that it is the eldest prince, who is now the crown prince."

"Hmm." Xie Shuheng nodded. "Let Ye Qi investigate. They found that poppies are planted on hundreds of acres of land, and that's on the Second Prince's maternal family's property. That should rule out the Second Prince. No one would be so stupid as to use them on their own property."

"So they're suspecting the Crown Prince. It seems they really are going to take action against us."

Xie Shuheng smiled and asked, "Yunniang, are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Jin Jiangzhiyun's eyes, on the contrary, showed excitement.

"Xie Shuheng, you're saying that even the eldest prince is resorting to such methods to deal with you, and that it might even affect his own position as crown prince."

"This shows that his relationship with the emperor was not as loving and filial as it appeared on the surface."

“Brother, the fact that there are many internal conflicts among the teachers is a good thing for us. If everyone puts all their efforts on you, then there is definitely no chance of winning.”

When Jiang Zhiyun said this, her facial expressions were very vivid, even animated.

Xie Shuheng's eyes lit up with amusement after reading it: "My wife cares about me this much?"

"Of course, you are my little rice ball's daddy, and also my husband."

“Dad…Dad!”

At that moment, a sweet, childlike voice came from inside.

Xie Shuheng calmed down, even becoming somewhat excited and proud.

He carefully picked up the little rice ball: "The first word my little rice ball called out was 'Daddy'..."

His eyes were full of gentleness.

"Call me 'Mother' and let me hear it."

But the little rice ball was even quicker: "Mommy~"

"Mother~"

“I… love my mother.”

Xie Shuheng: ?!

"Yunniang, did she call you 'mother' before?"

"Yes, a few days ago, she started calling me 'Grandma.' Then it was your turn..."

Jiang Zhiyun chuckled: "Is it only now that you're finding it funny?"

"I thought I was the first one." Xie Shuheng felt his excitement had been misplaced.

"But that's good too, because Mom and Grandma spend more time with her than Dad."

"So, now that our little rice ball can talk, you'd better live well too. Don't let anything happen to you. I'll never forgive you!"

"I'm finding a new daddy for our little rice ball."

Jiang Zhiyun spoke very seriously, even with tears in her eyes.

The couple hadn't said anything, but Jiang Zhiyun knew they must have planned their operation tonight.

The extremes must be reversed.

Having come this far, it is indeed time for a fair and square fight.

Otherwise, how meaningless would it be?

Xie Shuheng sighed, "I'll leave tonight. It's my way of being responsible to the soldiers. It won't affect the civilians. I'll take the open space outside the city gate."

"Furthermore, we also considered the possibility of a foreign invasion. I discussed it with him, and we agreed that if such an attack occurs, both sides will join forces to fight the enemy together."

Jiang Zhiyun knew this was a very difficult matter, and there were many things to consider.

"What if he changes his mind..."

Once Jiang Zhiyun asked the question, she couldn't continue.

Indeed, there are many things that cannot be trusted, but at this time, we have no choice but to trust.

Their battle was less a clash between two generals and more a confrontation between Xiao Su and Xie Shuheng, who were specifically sent by their superiors to deal with Xie Shuheng.

The authorities are delighted to see this, turning a blind eye to their own regime.

Even if Xie Shuheng felt sorry for the people and didn't want to lose the Northwest territory, there was only one way: defeat Xiao Su and seize military power in the Northwest.

Even if foreign powers come, we must be able to resist them...

This is what he will be preparing for.

Now, the couple can see these emotions in each other's eyes without saying a word.

"Xie Shuheng, I'm here behind you, and you're here ahead of me."

"You must win. For the sake of my family and for the people of the entire Northwest and Southwest, you have no choice but to win."

This is very stressful, but that's their situation.

Jiang Zhiyun said, "I will also guard my rear."

She thought she could help Xie Shuheng... at least, she could start with the poppies.

Now we need to figure out how to extend the shop to Bianjing.
