Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1767: Chapter 1768: Could There Still Be a Future for Us?

Shi Shi once trained with Tobanya and went to the battlefield with Tobanya. Shi Shi still had some feelings for Tobanya, and upon seeing Tobanya’s deep self-blame, she consoled, ”I’m fine, you don’t have to blame yourself so much. But people are different, just like you said earlier, you want to conceive but can’t, while I can have children but don’t want to. Jade Jade, you and I are different people.”

Tobanya’s emotions were still a bit out of control, as she always wanted to bear a child for her husband. But to avoid losing her composure too much, she worked hard to control herself, to calm her out-of-control emotions.

An Jing sighed and said, ”They all say that raising children can support you in old age, and children are also the best bond to maintain a relationship between a husband and wife... Shi Shi, have you ever thought about your future with General Qi?”

Shi Shi thought to herself: I will have no future with him. As long as the Building Master no longer needs me to be an undercover here, I will leave, so I’ve never felt that I have a future with him.

But she lightly laughed to herself in a self-mocking way, ”With things like this, how could I have a future with him?”

Qi Weimeng, standing at the door, immediately rushed over, saying, ”As long as you’re willing to give me a child, we will have a future!”

Shi Shi continued to laugh, her smile as light as clouds and wind, and finally looked at Qi Weimeng: ”How many times do you want me to say ’I don’t like children, I won’t give you a child’?”

Qi Weimeng didn’t care if he seemed pretentious, his eyes reddened as he questioned, ”Shi Shi, have you ever truly loved me?”

Now he even doubted if he pursued her too aggressively back then, and that’s why she agreed to marry him. It wasn’t because she liked him!

Shi Shi’s heart ached sharply, so painfully that she nearly couldn’t breathe. But she still maintained a light smile on her face, ”What’s the point of talking about this now? Besides, didn’t I ask you to divorce me? You can divorce me and marry a proper wife willing to bear you children, then you won’t be so troubled, your parents will be happy, and I’ll be free.”

Not wanting things to become irreversible, An Jing quickly advised, ”Shi Shi, why say such things? You two should talk it out, there’s no problem in this world that can’t be solved. Talk to General Qi properly, and maybe General Qi will accept you not wanting to have children. Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?”

Shi Shi held back the pain in her heart, steeled her heart, and coldly laughed, ”If he could accept it, why would he ask the Queen to persuade me? Saying if I ever loved him... I don’t think he loves me all that much either. General Meng doesn’t mind Jade Jade not being able to conceive, thinking it’s fine without children, but him?”

”Shi Shi, you’re being unreasonable!” Qi Weimeng was truly angry. ”It’s not like you can’t have children, so why won’t you? You only think about yourself; you don’t want to have children, so you don’t. But have you thought about me? Even if I could accept not having children, can my parents accept it? Go and see, my mom is still lying in bed!”

Even though Qi Weimeng’s words were true, An Jing felt that they somewhat hurt Tobanya.

Especially Qi Weimeng’s words, ’It’s not like you can’t have children, so why won’t you?’

Not wanting the childless Tobanya to stay around and worsen her mood, An Jing suggested Tobanya leave.

Tobanya obediently left, but instead of returning to the Royal Palace, she waited outside the courtyard for An Jing, planning to return to the Royal Palace together.

Shi Shi knew that the conflict between her and Qi Weimeng was irreconcilable at this point, and she didn’t want Qi Weimeng to continue suffering because of her...
