Chapter 107.1

Chapter: 107 . 1 out of 171

If you wanted to talk about Wu Rong and Da Liang's relationship, three days and three nights wouldn’t be enough to finish discussing .

Da Liang's citizens’ primary impression of Wu Rong people was that they were bloody and cruel . They massacred and wreaked havoc . Wu Rong used to frequently invaded Da Liang's territory . Da Liang's people who lived in the borders had been subjected to their torment and their lives had been extremely bitter and full of fear . This was why Da Liang's people didn't have any favorable impressions of Wu Rong people .

Since many years ago, as soon as people saw Wu Rong people on the street, they would attack first before talking or asking for reason . Currently, the relationship between the two countries had slightly improved and that type of situation had decreased . However, Da Liang's citizen bias against Wu Rong was deep-rooted and hadn't changed .

Starting from ten years ago, there had been several battles between Wu Rong and Da Liang . Wu Rong ended up retreating little by little and gradually curbed their arrogance . One of Wu Rong's heaviest casualties was when fifteen-year-old Zhao Jie led an army into battle for the very first time . Zhao Jie excelled at military matters and effectively deployed his troops . His unfathomable tactics were cunning and unpredictable . No one could guess what he would do next . Wu Rong’s army was completely defeated without any chances to retaliate . They had to retreat about two hundred miles, apologize and pay reparations to Da Liang, and also express that they would no longer try to invade and occupy Da Liang .

After that battle, Wu Rong's emperor had a deep impression of Zhao Jie and had the utmost fear towards this youth, who was outstanding, despite only being fifteen year old . He couldn't help shivering at the mere mention of Zhao Jie's name . After several years had passed, Zhao Jie's military glory still remained . Who knows how that old emperor would react after seeing Zhao Jie .

Sitting in Fourth Madam's room, Wei Luo drank da hong pai (a type of oolong tea) while listening to Qin-shi talking about this matter . Wei Luo couldn't feel slightly proud .

It was natural that she would feel proud that Zhao Jie was so powerful .

However, she felt it would be embarrassing to show this . She was afraid that Fourth Madam would laugh at her, so she kept her head lowered and pretended to drink tea to cover up her smiling moth .

Qin-shi naturally didn't miss seeing her thoughts . After pouring Wei Luo another cup of tea, just as she was about tease Wei Luo, she suddenly thought of something else . Her gaze became concerned . "Ah Luo, it's not that fourth aunt doesn't want to see you happy . But, there are some things I'm still worried about . . . "

Wei Luo picked up a piece of candied white melon from a white and blue porcelain plate with a lotus flower pattern, put the candy into her mouth, blinked, and said, "Fourth aunt, just directly say what you want to say . "

Wei Luo clearly remembered everything that Qin-shi had done for her during the past several years . She didn't have a mother and fourth aunt had done everything for her that a mother would do . She genuinely cared for her . Regardless of what Qin-shi said, Wei Luo wouldn't have any complaint .

Qin-shi's eyebrows were twisted together . After considering for a long time, she said, "You heard what I just said . Prince Jing's complicated thoughts are deep and difficult to fathom . And, even the brutal people from Wu Rong are afraid of him . Fourth aunt is worried that after you marry him . . . "

After saying half of the sentence, she didn't continue, but Wei Luo understood her meaning .

Qin-shi words were tactful . She probably wanted to say that Zhao Jie was ruthless, tyrannical, and vicious . She was worried that Zhao Jie would bully Wei Luo after she was married to him . If their relationship wasn't good and something happened, then Wei Luo would be the one that would suffer . After all, Zhao Jie was a man, nine years older than her, and practiced martial arts in the barracks since he was young . If he wanted to treat her badly, it really would be too easy .

But really, would he be willing to hurt her?

Wei Luo thought of how she had rested her head on his leg as he warmed her stomach in the carriage . She had clearly felt his response, but he had endured and resisted merely because of her words . And, when they had met Song Hui, Wei Luo had clearly felt the change in Zhao Jie's mood . But, he had kept his anger under control and didn't embarrass her . Even though he had shown restraint to the point that his face had turned livid, he had only said, "Don't keep thinking about Song Hui" after bring her back home . He was this considerate and fond of her . At the moment, Wei Luo couldn't find another man like him .

Unfortunately, she couldn't say these words to Qin-shi . Wei Luo thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Fourth aunt, don't worry . I heard from Liuli that even though Zhao Jie looks cold and scary, his heart is very good . Also, he doesn't bully women . . . "

Princess Tianji was Zhao Jie's younger sister . Of course, she would say positive words about Zhao Jie . Qin-shi wasn't the slightest bit comforted . She wanted to say more, but nothing she said would have any use . The imperial edict had already been received . This marriage would definitely happen . She thought about the future and decided to teach Wei Luo methods on how to manage and defend against her husband if needed . This way she at least wouldn't be at a loss of what to do after she married Zhao Jie .

The day before the palace banquet, there was trouble in second branch's Bamboo Courtyard again .

Only Wei Bao Shan could cause Second Madam and Second Master to argue . At present, Second Madam had listened to everyone's advice and didn't lower herself to his level . She was waiting until Wei Bao Shan reached marriage age, then she would send her away by casually arranging a marriage for her . This matter would then pass . Although a crack had appeared in their martial relationship, they would still have to spend the rest of their lives together .

Then, why were they arguing this time?
