The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 56 - 55 Forget it forgive him

[Idiotic Insect Clan, Eat My Fist: But really, sister-in-law looks so young, not even as tall as my shoulders.]

[May: I heard she just came of age.]

[Idiotic Insect Clan, Eat My Fist: Ah? Isn’t our boss straight-up robbing the cradle then?!]

[Fen Yunqi: Don’t make a fuss. With the boss’s looks and strength, he totally has the right to rob the cradle.]

[Idiotic Insect Clan, Eat My Fist: True that. If I were a chick, I’d willingly let him do it.]

Cheng Feng and Wu Yue both posted a vomiting emoji at the same time.

[May: Dream on, you with your rough and wild style, all brawny and beefy, with clear cut arms and legs, even if you offered yourself, the boss wouldn’t take you.]

[Fen Yunqi: Although robbing the cradle is common nowadays, take some advice from your brother here, you’re not cut out for eating soft rice.]

[Idiotic Insect Clan, Eat My Fist: Meh, just saying.]

[Idiotic Insect Clan, Eat My Fist: But you know, our boss definitely likes the gentle and sweet type like sister-in-law. He even personally escorted her back to Capital Star today.]

[Fen Yunqi: Oh~~ So the boss has that taste, huh~]

The three single dogs sourly joked for a while before going off to do their own things.

When Qu Tong woke up again, she found the aircraft parked inside a spacious estate, where the vast lawn could fit another four or five aircraft of its size.

The doors of the aircraft were open, but there was no one inside.

As Qu Tong walked to the doorway, she heard a chorus of uniform voices.

“Welcome home, madam.” the butler, leading five male servants and one female servant, bowed in unison and called out.

Qu Tong was somewhat taken aback by this grand welcome.

She quickly matched the figure at the front, with a slickedback hairdo, wearing a strap-over vest suit, and smiling like a blossoming flower, with Butler Chi from her contacts.

“Hello Uncle Chi,” Qu Tong nodded politely, flashing an appropriate smile.

“Madam, His Highness had to attend to some matters at the Imperial Palace. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the rooms first,” the butler said respectfully.

“Hmm?” Qu Tong suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“What’s the matter?” Butler Chi asked nervously, fearing he might have done something wrong in his reception.

“Nothing.”

Men!

He went to the palace without taking her.

Forget it, forgive him.

After all, he had given her so much.

In a second, she made peace with it and continued on her way, taking in the entire estate as she went.

It was big, luxurious, yet straightforward and clear at a glance.

She used to think that modesty and luxury were antonyms, but the villa before her perfectly interpreted that the two could coexist.

Butler Chi led Qu Tong upstairs.

“Madam, please this way. If you have any luggage, you can take it out, and I’ll have the servants organize it for you.”

Butler Chi led Qu Tong straight to the largest bedroom.

“Wait a moment.” Qu Tong stood by the door and called out to the butler ahead.

Along the way, there were a total of four rooms on the second floor, two of which were bedrooms; the larger one was obviously the master bedroom.

“May I take the one next door?”

“Madam, this room is larger and more comfortable, the amenities are more complete, and the view from the balcony is the best…”

The butler was vigorously trying to sell this room.

Yet Qu Tong had already seen the arrangements within the room; although everything was brand new, it was clearly filled with a masculine presence.

So, this room must have belonged to Si Yuting before.

Even though they were husband and wife, there was no affection between them.

Some people, like herself, do not like unfamiliar people randomly sleeping in their own rooms.

“Did His Highness say I couldn’t choose the room I liked?” Qu Tong innocently looked at Butler Chi, shifting the question onto Si Yuting.

“This…” Butler Chi stumbled for a moment: “He did not.”

“Then I’ll take this one.”

“Alright then.”

Butler Chi’s enthusiasm waned by half, he didn’t insist any further and started to ponder how to get His Highness to move into this room to cultivate a relationship with his wife.

Qu Tong had no idea about the butler’s little schemes.

She quickly checked what was missing in the room, and went to a nearby mall with the butler to pick out daily necessities.

In the Imperial Palace

Gong Lingyu, upon seeing Si Yuting arrive alone, didn’t mince words and scolded him:

“Didn’t you say Qu Tong would come back with you? You enter the palace without her; what kind of husband does that? You barely have time together and you don’t cultivate affection when you can. Once you’re off to the border again, you won’t even be able to see her…”

Si Yuting felt a headache brewing from his mother’s incessant nagging, and pinched the bridge of his nose: “She was still resting when I came back.”

“Mother, say less, we’re bound to divorce sooner or later, it’s unnecessary.”

Gong Lingyu was infuriated by Si Yuting’s indifferent tone: “What is so bad about Qu Tong? She hasn’t even complained about you, and yet you’re always thinking about divorce.”

“She’s young and easily deceived,” Si Yuting said indifferently.

Gong Lingyu: “…”

It seemed that no matter what she said, her son was convinced that she had coaxed Qu Tong into marrying him.

He didn’t believe a word of the truth.

Unfilial son!

She’s infuriated!

Gong Lingyu glared fiercely at her own son.

“Fine, but don’t come to me with regrets later.”

Just wait and see.

She had high hopes for that girl Qu Tong, clever and sensible, yet decisive and cunning. She would surely have her unworthy son wrapped around her finger.

“I won’t.”

The voice of Si Yuting was filled with absolute calm and clarity.

He then frowned at Gong Lingyu: “About what happened last time, don’t let there be a second time, or I wouldn’t mind helping Father fix the loopholes in the mainframe.”

“…I got it.”

Gong Lingyu now regretted having Si Yuting memorize the Imperial Laws at age five; he was too difficult to handle.

“Qu Tong needs the title of Princess Consort for enrollment right now, so discuss the divorce with her later. I’m afraid she might feel guilty and give up the spot. You know her situation; with the status of Princess Consort as her weapon, she can draw on it for confidence,” Gong Lingyu reminded.

She genuinely liked the girl Qu Tong.

Not just for her personality, but also because she was truly willing to marry Yuting, traveling alone to a remote star without ever uttering a complaint, even sending her tasty treats.

So, even if she ended up divorcing her son, she didn’t want to treat Qu Tong unfairly.
