After Cui Anhua said that, he felt relieved, as if the dust had settled and he was finally free.
Yes, how could I lose sight of the main goal? When I was reborn, didn't I feel that as long as I could be with the woman I loved, it would be worth giving up anything
Then why did he go to Liangzhou to be the garrison commander, leaving his beloved wife and children alone and helpless in the capital to spend a long time waiting
Obviously, before he died in his previous life, he wanted to be with his beloved, cherish every minute and second, and never be separated again. How could he forget this original intention and let his beloved woman endure loneliness and a long wait
After thinking it through, Cui Anhua immediately felt that there was no time to lose. He wanted to return to Beijing to serve as an official and never be separated from his beloved wife and young son again!
When Jiang Wenyue got a positive answer from her husband, she burst into tears of joy and smiled brilliantly. Her tearful smile instantly captivated Cui Anhua's eyes.
He couldn't help but lower his head and linger with Jiang Wenyue...
Not long after, a man's low growl was suddenly heard in the tent, followed by an awkward silence.
"Cui Lang? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Wenyue asked softly, and then suddenly realized: "It's all my fault for not being able to control myself. I forgot that you just returned to Beijing today and didn't get much rest. You must be very tired."
Jiang Wenyue played the role of a perfect wife and found an excuse for Cui Anhua who acted "too fast" again.
"Yes, yes, I'm just too tired..." Cui Anhua quickly covered himself with the fig leaf that Jiang Wenyue had found.
The couple stopped fighting, but they both felt that the scene was a little familiar.
Isn't it familiar? It will become more familiar later. Anyway, Cui Anhua can only hurry up in this life, unless he can die and be reborn again.
In the following period of time, Cui Anhua really started to take action in the capital, wanting to stay in the capital and not return to Liangzhou to be an official.
When the emperor knew that he did not want to be the garrison commander of Liangzhou, he felt that the surprise came too quickly. After all, no emperor would not be suspicious of a general who held military power.
It's just that the emperor had not yet thought of how to take away Cui Anhua's military power, but he took the initiative to hand it over. He really knew how to adapt to the times. The emperor felt much more favorable to Cui Anhua when he saw him attending court.
However, Cui Anhua could not transfer whenever he wanted, especially from a military officer outside the capital to a military officer in Beijing. After all, the military officers in Beijing were now fixed in their positions, and there was no chance of them moving unless they were promoted.
Cui Anhua wanted to come back, but there was no suitable position for him in the capital. If he was a minor official, it would be easy to arrange a position for him, but he was a general stationed in a place outside. He couldn't be demoted when he returned to the capital, right? This would make other generals stationed in the border areas feel disappointed, and the emperor would not do such a thing.
Therefore, when he comes back he can only take someone else's place or sit on the bench. It is difficult to find a suitable official position. Cui Anhua himself knows this, but he has to do it no matter how difficult it is. Who made him promise Jiang Wenyue
"Yue'er, if I come back to be an official in Beijing, I may not have as much power, and I may not have the glory and honor I had before. Would you... mind this?" Cui Anhua asked Jiang Wenyue with some difficulty.
Jiang Wenyue immediately said sympathetically, "Why would I care about these things? I only care about whether you are in danger fighting outside, and whether our family of five can be reunited. I don't care about anything else. How can wealth and glory compare to you being with me and the children?"
Cui Anhua was deeply moved when he heard her say this. He felt that he had to get this done no matter what and not let Yue'er down.
So Cui Anhua was busy with this matter again with full energy.
He invited some military officers and colleagues in Beijing to drink, and agreed to meet at the best tavern in Beijing, Zuixin Tavern. Cui Anhua did not go to the tavern with others. He was busy with something, so he asked others to go first and he would go later.
Cui Anhua didn't know that Zuixin Tavern was opened by his ex-wife Liu Shichu. He just thought it was newly opened by a wealthy businessman in Beijing in the past two years, so he was completely unaware.
The consequence of being unaware was that he saw his ex-wife at the door of the pub without any psychological preparation.
Cui Anhua couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his ex-wife, whose skin was as white as snow and hair as black as ink, looking as if she was ten years younger. Seeing Liu Shichu and a young and handsome man about to get on the carriage and leave, he couldn't help but shout, "Liu!"
Liu Shichu didn't think that the word "Liu" was addressed to her, but she only blamed her sharp eyesight and recognized Cui Anhua at once. However, she was not moved at all and just nodded at him indifferently, with a distant and cold attitude.
"Don't call me Liu, I have a name and a surname." After saying this, Liu Shichu wanted the coachman to drive away.
But Cui Anhua immediately stepped forward to stop the carriage. He looked at his ex-wife, who was getting younger and more beautiful after her divorce, and felt complicated. He didn't want to let her go so easily, but he couldn't find any excuse.
"General Cui, if you are okay, please make way." Liu Shichu said lightly.
"Don't you really want to see me? Are you still resentful of me?" Cui Anhua asked for some unknown reason.
"I have nothing to do with you anymore, and I don't want to have anything to do with you. The emotion of resentment is too strong, and I don't want to waste even a bit of emotion on you." Liu Shichu said impatiently, "If you don't get out of the way, then you'll have to taste the horse's hoof!"
"You! How did you become so cold and heartless?" Cui Anhua felt unwilling when he saw his ex-wife treating him like this. Although he had divorced her, they had spent twenty years together before that, so there must be some feelings between them, right
But Liu Shichu seemed to have completely abandoned this feeling. After the divorce, instead of being heartbroken, she seemed to be living a good life. She was young and beautiful, as if she was several years younger than Yue'er.
When Cui Anhua saw her like this, he felt more and more unwilling. In his heart, even if he and Liu Shichu divorced, Liu Shichu should still be thinking about her ex-husband, and then live the rest of her life alone with feelings of love and hate for him.
But Liu Shichu was not as sad as he had imagined. After the divorce, she became more and more radiant, with a graceful figure and fair skin, like an unmarried girl, not a grandmother. Cui Anhua stood beside her, like a parent, and there was no sign that they had ever been married.
If Liu Shichu knew the dirty thoughts in his mind, he would definitely want to slap him twice to wake him up and stop dreaming.
He abandoned his original wife and married a new lover, but he still expected his ex-wife to remain a virgin for him and continue to think about him? Pah! What a shameless and despicable man!
If Liu Shichu knew what he was thinking, he would be so disgusted that he would vomit.
