After the Groom Ran Off, I Convinced a Military Commander to Marry Me

Chapter 36: I Have A Friend

Jing Yu paused in his actions. “Why didn’t she move in?”

Azure Dragon was so anxious that his hair was about to fall off if he had hair.

“Master, Madam thinks that you don’t want a divorce because you want her to be your exclusive potion. You have to explain clearly. You can’t let her continue to misunderstand you!”

Jing Yu’s gaze became even colder. He could kill the ferocious giant worm with his bare hands and survive on a deserted and wandering planet for a long time. However, he could not do anything to his delicate little wife!

Azure Dragon actively suggested, “Master, you have to learn to coax your wife! Why don’t we do this? His Majesty has been married for many years. He must be very experienced. Why don’t you ask him for guidance?”

Jing Yu’s gaze was dark as he looked at Azure Dragon unhappily.

Azure Dragon immediately understood and hurriedly said, “Master, you don’t have to say that it’s you. Just say that you have a friend who quarreled with his wife and his wife didn’t go home. Ask him what to do in this situation.”

“…” Jing Yu.

Five minutes later, Jing Zeyi, who had just returned home and was about to rest after a busy day, received a message from his uncle.

Jing Yu: [I have a friend who quarreled with his wife and his wife didn’t go home. What should he do?]

After reading the news, Jing Zeyi immediately complained to the empress, “My uncle is not good either. He quarreled right after he got married and even angered his wife away!”

Qiao Yana had a good impression of Qu Xiaowan. She said in confusion, “No way. Qu Xiaowan looks like she has a good personality. My sister doesn’t have a good temper, but she praises Qu Xiaowan for being a good person!”

Jing Zeyi said, “Qu Xiaowan has a good temper, but my uncle’s temper is not good. He’s always cold and not easy to get along with at all! Look, he’s already provoked her not long after they got married. She doesn’t even want to go home!”

Qiao Yana said, “Then you should help persuade him. It’s not easy for Little Uncle to get married after so many years. How difficult is it!”

The companionship of relatives and partners was always different.

Jing Zeyi thought so too. He had long investigated Qu Xiaowan’s background. Other than being a little weak physically, she did not have any flaws.

Although the Qu Family was only a noble family in District Two, it seemed like Little Uncle was quite satisfied with this wife. Hence, her status was not a problem.

Jing Zeyi thought for a while before giving his uncle an idea. [It’s very easy to coax a woman. Give her gifts, bags, clothes, and jewelry.]

Jing Zeyi: [If it doesn’t work, kiss her!]

After Jing Yu received his nephew’s message, the corners of his eyes twitched. These answers were obviously unreliable!

At seven o’clock in the evening, Qu Xiaowan finally sorted out all the information. She had also preliminary drafted the procedures for the opening ceremony, but there were still some details that needed to be changed, especially the menu. It was easy to find the taste preferences and spending standards of the ordinary residents in District One, but it was very difficult to find information about the royal family, nobles, and military big shots.

These messages were all encrypted. If she wanted to know, she had to go through some special channels.

At this moment, Qu Xiaoman came out of the kitchen. She wiped her hands and asked with a smile, “Big Sister, it’s very troublesome to prepare for the opening ceremony, right?”

Qu Xiaowan said, “Yes, it’s indeed very troublesome.”

“Do you need me to help you share some of the burden?” Qu Xiaoman asked.

Qu Xiaowan looked up and smiled. “Alright, pour me a cup of hot water.”

The fake smile on Qu Xiaoman’s face slowly dissipated. She said coldly, “Qu Xiaowan, you can’t compare to me. Give up! Although the old man looks like he supports you, he won’t be able to protect you if you mess up the opening ceremony! Give up. I’m more suitable to manage the branch than you.”

Qu Xiaowan moved her sore wrist and said nonchalantly, “Don’t say it too early. Are you afraid that you might hurt your tongue?”

Qu Xiaoman said angrily, “Is it useful for you to twist your words here? You’ve been lying in the nutrition chamber for so many years and even recuperated at home for two years. I’ve been working hard for so many years. I’ve worked so hard. How can you compare to me?”

Qu Xiaowan chuckled. “Are you working very hard? You’re only trying to curry favor with the Qu Family and make them care about you. Is being good to you considered hard work? Don’t treat others as fools. Do you think they’re so easy to deceive? Those fools who can be deceived by you are all useless people.”

Qu Xiaoman’s expression darkened. “What do you mean?”

Qu Xiaowan said calmly, “Qu Xiaoman, your mother is coming back soon, so you’re anxious, right?”

Qu Xiaoman’s expression darkened even more when she heard that. Qu Xiaoman’s mother, Lu Jingjing, was Qu Zhen’s first love. The two of them almost got married back then and an incident happened just before the wedding. Lu Jingjing ran away with a man from another star field and escaped from the wedding. However, she later said that she was abducted by that man. No one knew the truth, but when she returned, she was already pregnant with Qu Xiaoman.
