Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

Chapter 1351: Want Both

In the distance, Ding Ge was pulling Cen Shi without letting go, ignoring Cen Shi’s struggles, he directly helped Cen Shi onto the mule cart.

"Miss, it’s too chaotic outside now, sit well in the cart." Ding Ge spoke unceremoniously, treating Cen Shi as if she were his wife, and even gave her something: "Take this, this is my token. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, take this token to find me."

Cen Shi dared not receive it, but Ding Ge stuffed it into her hand directly, and even took the opportunity to hold her hand, rubbing it, which scared Cen Shi into a scream, after which he laughed, looking every bit like a rogue.

The soldiers under him were used to such scenes, pretending not to see. Only one Chief Commander ran over to remind: "Lord Company Commander, the time has passed, we should first enter the Military Office."

You better be careful, it’s obvious she is a relative of the army, and probably not just any soldier’s relative, be careful her man doesn’t cut you to pieces.

Ding Ge frowned, dissatisfied: "What’s the rush? General Guo hasn’t arrived yet. I know what I’m doing."

He waved his hand, motioning for the Chief Commander to leave.

However, someone else fearlessly rushed out, and it was none other than Xie Jishi, the wife of Company Commander Xie.

"Stop, you hooligan! Do you know what you’re doing? Do you know she is the wife of Company Commander Lu? Aren’t you afraid Commander Lu will come to settle accounts with you?" Xie Jishi charged over with a group of servants, pointing at Ding Ge and scolding him.

After scolding Ding Ge, she turned to Cen Shi, "And you, you shameless woman, can’t you shout when he touches you? So many people are here, if you shout, how can he be so brazen?"

Cen Shi panicked, and quickly explained: "That’s not how it is, I didn’t, woooo..."

She started crying while holding her child, looking pitiful which made Ding Ge even more pleased.

"Miss, don’t cry. We are innocent, no need to fear what others say." Ding Ge comforted Cen Shi and then turned to Xie Jishi, his eyes lit up, he walked over to Xie Jishi, grabbed her wrist, leaned in close, and said: "This young lady misunderstood, I was just saving her, no intention of offending at all."

Damn, (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!

Gu Jinli was stunned, is this Ding Ge a Teddy dog? He approaches any young woman without fear of being minced by their husbands? This is ancient times, not modern day.

But Ding Ge really wasn’t afraid, coming from a noble family in the Central Plains, he looked down upon those Company Commanders from humble origins, believing he was destined to be a commander-in-chief, being just a little Company Commander distressed him. Being interested in wives of those from humble origins was actually considering them!

"Ah ah ah!" Xie Jishi was frightened out of her wits, screaming continuously, closing her eyes as she flailed and kicked randomly, surprising Ding Ge enough to let go of her hand, saying: "Stop shouting."

What nonsense, as if I’m going to assault you right here.

Yet she was so feisty, with enough spunk, he liked that!

"Madam, Madam, are you alright?" Xie Jishi’s nanny, maid, and accompanying Protectors rushed over to protect her.

After a while, Xie Jishi finally stopped screaming and slapped Nanny Ji on the face: "You dog slave, what were you doing? Why didn’t you come over sooner? What use do I have for you?!"

Nanny Ji was dumbstruck.

Gu Jinli and Mrs. Kuang were also dumbfounded, thinking Xie Jishi seemed a bit foolish, actually hitting her nanny, wasn’t she just driving her own people away? How would they be loyal to her in the future?

Xie Jishi was hysterical, Ding Ge was watching the show, Cen Shi held her child trembling and teary-eyed, but seemed to flash a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Company Commander, General Guo has arrived." The Chief Commander who noticed the distant torchlight and the high-flying Prefecture garrison flag came over immediately to inform Ding Ge.

General Guo didn’t like Ding Ge, if not for the Ding family backing him, he would’ve stripped Ding Ge of his Company Commander title long ago.

Ding Ge knew General Guo disliked him, seeing the situation he said: "Let’s go."

Two cheeky women, one bold and one foolish, there’s plenty of time on the way to get them, no rush.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the soldiers of Qianyang County Military Office immediately moved and dashed into the Military Office like the wind.

Xie Jishi was furious and cried, thinking it was all Cen Shi’s fault for her humiliation, she darted into Lu Family’s mule cart, yanked Cen Shi over and slapped her twice: "Shameless creature, ptooey!"

After hitting her she stormed back to her own carriage with her servants, crying, glancing at Gu Jinli and even cursing, clearly angry at their gawking.

Cen Shi, being slapped, was furious, holding her daughter tightly, secretly gnashing her teeth, cursing in her heart: Damn Xie Jishi, just because you’re a rich family’s lady you think you can hit people at will? Just wait, I’ll make you pay the price!

Bang bang bang!

A sound of heavy footsteps came, as General Guo brought along a group of personal soldiers from the Prefecture garrison to bid farewell to the soldiers.

He knew the road was difficult in the snow, so he deliberately came nearly two hours late, to allow time for the soldiers who arrived late. After all, if he arrived and other Military Office soldiers hadn’t, that would really violate military discipline, and heads would roll.

Mrs. Kuang was extremely excited upon seeing General Guo, she said to Gu Jinli: "Qin family’s, it’s bitterly cold, go rest in the carriage, Aunt is leaving first."

"This is a meeting gift from my family to yours, keep it." Saying this, she quickly took half the pancakes from the basket, stuffed them to Nanny Tao, then carried her own basket and child, rushing towards General Guo: "General, General, wait, I am the wife of Niu Dabao from Luan’an County Military Office, I brought some items to pay respect to the General, please accept them!"

Oh dear, she’s really trying to ingratiate herself, with no fear at all, Gu Jinli had to hand it to her.

General Guo frowned, but thought that Niu Dabao was quite good, and this time he was marching to fight for his life, so it’s not good to block Mrs. Kuang from currying favor, so he met with Mrs. Kuang and praised her a few words.

However, he did not accept Mrs. Kuang’s offer, knowing the Niu family wasn’t wealthy and had many members, he told her to keep the white pancakes and roast duck legs for the Niu family to eat.

Mrs. Kuang didn’t intend to give them away, having gotten familiar with General Guo’s face, praised, and putting in a good word for her husband, she happily carried her child back to her own camp.

Once at the camp she bragged to the accompanying soldiers’ relatives: "General Guo praised Dabao, your Niu Company Commander, and promised us that after we go to the Northwest we’ll get more provisions, and as long as our men earn merits, they’ll be promoted immediately, our days have hope. Let your men follow my man Dabao closely and work hard, in the future when my man Dabao becomes a National Duke, we’ll definitely help you out, you won’t be disadvantaged!"

She continued: "Don’t laugh, wasn’t the deceased Duke Xing surnamed Niu? Also from a humble origin, my man Dabao is also surnamed Niu, also from humble origins, also went to war, the Niu family ancestral grave has good feng shui, smoke billows out, it will surely bless Niu family descendants to produce another National Duke."

Duke Xing died on the battlefield after a great defeat while leading a battle, his two sons who he brought also suffered heavy injuries, and because Duke Xing died, only then Emperor Jingyuan showed mercy and did not confiscate Duke Xing Mansion.

Otherwise, with Emperor Jingyuan’s hatred towards Da Rong and his violent temper, Duke Xing’s family wouldn’t even have a chicken left alive.
