Chapter 219: Chapter 162: Chunyu Che to Visit Dayi Country

Jun Moling has always had an exceptional tolerance for alcohol. Even if he was slightly tipsy around noon, his mind remained clear.

When his wife helped him up, he took the chance to take advantage of her under the guise of being drunk.

At this moment, upon hearing that Shen Ruoxi’s eldest sister-in-law, Yang Family, and her fifth sister-in-law, Zou Family, were in the outer hall, he was momentarily stunned, instinctively realizing that these two must have something to discuss.

“Hmm, hmm, getting up now.”

The two got out of bed, washed up briefly, and then went out.

Yang Family and Zou Family looked up at the noise, and instantly felt as if a strong light had pierced their eyes.

The couple before them, even after just a simple wash, were still mesmerizingly beautiful.

Truly a pair made in heaven, their elegance was indeed enviable.

“Eldest sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, you’ve come?” Shen Ruoxi asked softly.

“Consort Xian just sent Yuan Bao to deliver a message to you. Take a look,” Yang Family said, handing her the letter.

Shen Ruoxi was filled with confusion. What could be so important that it needed to be conveyed via a letter? She hesitated for a moment, then quickly opened the letter.

Upon reading it, her expression changed slightly.

As her husband, Jun Moling naturally wanted to know what was written in the letter. However, he felt it would not be appropriate to look directly, so he asked, “Wife, what’s wrong?”

In her heart, Shen Ruoxi couldn’t help but curse Chunyu Che, thinking he was really causing trouble.

Instead of focusing on building his own country, after the war had just ended and the resentment from Dayi Country’s citizens towards them hadn’t dissipated, he was actually bringing envoys to apologize.

Didn’t he fear having vegetables thrown at him or getting hit with rotten eggs by the people? What a foolish person.

She had spared him initially for two reasons: first because he had saved her twice, and secondly, she realized that he was truly seeking peace between the two countries, which was more important than anything else.

However, she never imagined he would come to his death in such a manner now.

She understood the intent behind her cousin Consort Xian’s letter was to prepare her mentally in advance.

After all, in the hearts of Yang Family and Zou Family, Chunyu Che was the culprit responsible for the deaths of their husbands and father-in-law, and they would certainly not easily forgive him.

“Ruoxi, what exactly did Consort Xian say to you?” Yang Family probed again upon noticing Shen Ruoxi’s change in expression.

This matter couldn’t be hidden; within two days, it was feared that everyone in Capital City would know.

Shen Ruoxi furrowed her brows slightly and said with a serious expression, “Chunyu Che is now the Monarch of Beichang Country and will soon visit our country to apologize.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Family and Zou Family’s expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with anger and disdain. “How does he have the face to come to our country?”

Actually, that time Jun Moling had performed and managed to clear the misunderstanding for them.

However, Shen Ruoxi was not quite sure how Jun Moling had persuaded the two, and at this moment felt somewhat guilty.

Jun Moling also frowned deeply, feeling quite troubled.

This Chunyu Che was simply courting death! In fact, he only needed to send envoys here, as the hatred between the two countries couldn’t dissipate overnight.

His coming in person this time was purely to cause trouble.

Zou Family gritted her teeth and said, “Eldest sister-in-law, Ruoxi, don’t fight me on this. I must kill Chunyu Che this time.

Back then, he managed to escape because Prince Zhan couldn’t kill him, and shouldn’t kill him.

But now it’s different. Since he’s delivered himself to me, I must take his life.”

Shen Ruoxi gently pressed her forehead, her face full of worry.

Beichang Country had been defeated and had already sent a letter of surrender, agreeing to pay tribute annually, showing submission.

If their Monarch were to die in Dayi Country, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shen Ruoxi’s face turned serious, her voice cold as frost. “We need to deliberate more on this matter, and whether or not to kill him will be determined after he arrives. Yun’er has no mother, do you really want Xiang’er to lose her mother too?”

Upon hearing her daughter’s name, Xiang’er, Zou Family’s face turned pale instantly, and she finally closed her mouth, saying nothing more.

“Our Shen Family can no longer endure more separations of life and death. I have made my plans about this,” Shen Ruoxi said with an icy tone, allowing no doubt.

Seeing the atmosphere getting more tense, Jun Moling quickly gave a gentle smile to diffuse it: “I’ll handle this matter myself, rest assured. The incident with Shen Family happened under my protection; it’s my responsibility to seek vengeance for them. It’s getting late, let’s head back.”

Shen Ruoxi also realized her earlier attitude was a bit harsh. She was indeed troubled; this Chunyu Che was truly infuriating.

“Eldest sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will handle this issue.”

Both nodded.

In fact, it was still early, but since the two decided to leave, Yang Family and Zou Family, even though unwilling in their hearts, couldn’t say much to persuade them to stay.

They hurriedly prepared return gifts and escorted the two all the way to the door.

After getting on the carriage, Jun Moling held Shen Ruoxi tightly in his arms, looking at her still troubled face, and gently smiled: “Wife, don’t worry too much. This isn’t an insurmountable issue; it really doesn’t need to worry you so much.”

Shen Ruoxi softly wrapped her arms around his strong and lean waist, resting her head intimately on his broad chest, murmuring, “I’m not afraid, just annoyed. If Chunyu Che truly dies in our country this time, war will definitely resume.

Since Beichang Country’s terrain is dangerous and weather harsh, it’s challenging to capture it if we really want to.

We finally achieved peace after much difficulty, I don’t want more members of our Shen Family in Dayi Country to perish because of this.”

Jun Moling smiled slightly, his demeanor calm and composed, “It’s not that serious. His Majesty is a wise ruler, understanding the stakes and wouldn’t easily let Chunyu Che take the risk.

Besides, Chunyu Che is an intelligent person; he wouldn’t dig his own grave. Since he’s willing to come, he must have a foolproof plan.”

Shen Ruoxi naturally knew her husband’s skills and strategies, but the matter involved the Shen Family, and for the name Chunyu Che, she had long harbored deep resentment.

Her main worry was her eldest sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law’s extreme attitude.

“Let’s hope so! Did you take all the blame last time?” Shen Ruoxi slightly tilted her head, eyes filled with concern and doubt.

“I didn’t take all the blame, mind you. Don’t forget, back then Chunyu Che had been hit by an arrow, his life hanging by a thread; who could have expected him to survive?” Jun Moling’s tone was calm, as if narrating an ordinary story.

That did make sense. At that time, he indeed was on the brink of death, narrowly escaping.

Who would’ve thought not only survived but also ascended to Beichang’s Monarch throne?

Seeing Shen Ruoxi fall into silence, Jun Moling gently embraced her, soothing her softly, “It takes a month’s journey or so for Beichang Country to reach our country.

So, we have ample time to discuss strategies; solutions can surely be found, right?”

Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly, her worries slightly alleviated. There was indeed time to plan thoroughly.

Time passed uneventfully. Although Jun Moling resigned from his military duties, he still handled some affairs and couldn’t accompany Shen Ruoxi all the time.

Every day she spent time embroidering, and taking three handmaidens to stroll around the bustling streets, living comfortably and leisurely.

That day, she wandered around Prince Mansion as usual, admiring the scenery of the mansion.

Suddenly, she heard a servant reporting in haste, “Your Highness, a lady named Ning Zhen’er is seeking to meet you.”
