Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1196: Are You... Having a Falling Out?

An Jingxin said, ”It’s not that I don’t want to help you achieve this; I’m afraid it will lead to discord between husband and wife because of this matter.”

Meng Zhuqing also spoke again, expressionless yet with a firm tone, ”Please help the Commandery Princess to register.”

An Jing fell silent for a moment before saying, ”Ye Zhi, register Wild Goose Jade.”

Ye Zhi, who had attended a calligraphy class in junior high in modern times, could still write with a brush. Upon hearing An Jing’s words, she quickly registered Tobanya’s basic information, then opened the ink and had Tobanya press her fingerprint on the page with her details.

Tobanya pressed her bright red fingerprint on that page without any hesitation.

First, An Jing looked at the fingerprint, then formally said, ”This isn’t an emergency conscription. You won’t be able to enter the military camp until early next year, and the specific time for entering the camp will be announced later. We will have someone notify you based on the address here.”

”Okay. Then Wild Goose Jade will go back first.” Saying this, Tobanya bowed to An Jing and Xiao Changyi, then turned around and headed back to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

It was only after Tobanya had gone far that An Jing turned around and asked Meng Zhuqing, ”Have you two had a tiff?”

Meng Zhuqing shook his head.

”Then why did she...”

Meng Zhuqing, hearing what An Jing was about to ask, didn’t wait for her to continue and said, ”I do not know.”

”Then you had better hurry back and check.”

Meng Zhuqing refused to go back.

An Jing did not say anything more but looked towards Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi softly called out three words, ”Meng Zhuqing.”

Meng Zhuqing immediately responded, ”Understood.”

After Meng Zhuqing left, Ye Zhi laughed and said, ”Boss, finally someone has signed up. Whether or not it’s someone we know, at least someone has come. The women’s military camp can now be established, and I can start preparing the facilities. I’m so happy; I was worried no one would come and we couldn’t pull it off.”

An Jing was also quite happy about the establishment of the women’s military camp but was simultaneously worried about the marital relationship between Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya.

...

Meng Zhuqing caught up with Tobanya on the way back to Prince Yi’s Mansion. He didn’t say anything to her, and she didn’t speak to him either. They walked shoulder to shoulder back to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Once they reached their courtyard in Prince Yi’s Mansion, and entered their room, they both remained silent.

Meng Zhuqing sat at the table.

Tobanya stood by the window, looking through the open window at a plum tree in the courtyard outside, quietly. The plum blossoms would not fully bloom for another month, but one could vaguely make out the beginnings of buds on the branches.

Her stunning face exuded an inherent coolness.

Meng Zhuqing, however, didn’t look at Tobanya and just sat quietly at the table, his gaze lowered to the desktop. It was unclear what he was thinking, as he just sat there, quietly, for a long time.

Both were silent.

No one spoke.

Only when the sky began to darken and the chill was felt did Meng Zhuqing stand up, take a cyan cloak, walk over to Tobanya, and gently drape it over her shoulders.

As Meng Zhuqing was tying the cloak around Tobanya, Tobanya grasped his hand.

Tobanya slowly lifted her eyelids, her beautiful eyes gazing at him. Her lips, red and unadorned, parted slightly as she said slowly, ”I don’t want to be at home waiting for you to return from the battlefield someday.”

Meng Zhuqing clasped her slightly cold hand, ”You should have spoken to me first.”

”You wouldn’t have agreed.”
