65.

  Choi Yong's face turned bright red with embarrassment and regret.

  Traveling thousands of miles through hardships to reunite with her husband in the northwest, yet they are face-to-face and don't recognize each other. What a ridiculous and absurd thing!

  But it just happened in such an unexpected and eerie way.

  Actually, it's not entirely her fault for not recognizing Yuan Wulang.

  It was just a dark and chaotic night, and Yuan Wulang left halfway through. Even if she had met him at the time, it's normal that she wouldn't remember after so long. Don't ordinary people all have a little face blindness?

  Besides, she knew that night that she had gotten into trouble and kept her head down, not daring to look at him.

  Apart from a tall and handsome back figure, she really knew nothing about Yuan Wulang's appearance.

  At this moment, the two men with similar figures and equally handsome standing in front of her made her somewhat embarrassed, not knowing which one was Yuan Lang, the man she had exchanged vows with.

  But in front of Xing'er's brother, would Cui Ying admit that she was so timid that she couldn't even recognize her own husband?

  She was determined to use her extraordinary reasoning ability to identify the real Yuan Wulang in the shortest possible time.

  Cui Ying's clear and bright eyes quickly swept across the two men.

  According to Zhaoshi Xujing, her husband Yuan Wulang is now stationed in the prefecture of Muzhou, responsible for allocating military supplies and taking care of wounded soldiers from the front lines, serving as the logistics support for the entire Northwestern Army.

  The governor of Muzhou, Yin Jiang, has yielded his official residence. He is now the most authoritative person in the entire city of Muzhou.

  As the commander-in-chief, one's attire can't be too shabby.

  The red fox fur cloak is a bit too gaudy, but it's indeed very luxurious.

  The one with a full beard on his face was wearing only a coarse black linen uniform. He looked somewhat ordinary and didn't seem like the main general in command, but rather more like the leader of the guards beside the main general.

  Cui Ling took another surreptitious glance at their appearance, and a plan began to form in her mind.

  She remembered that several sisters-in-law had said more than once that Yuan Wulang looked like his mother and was very different from several older brothers.

  He is also a famous handsome man in Shengjing City, and every time he goes out, he can receive various admiration from young girls.

  The bearded man still looked refined in terms of his facial features, but that thick beard connecting to his sideburns made him look a bit too rugged.

  This doesn't match the descriptions of the sisters-in-law.

  It was the man wearing a large red fox fur cloak who looked as beautiful as a woman.

  His skin was as white and tender as a peeled egg, completely matching the description of Yuan Wulang's face by his sisters-in-law.

  At this time, Xīu gēr happily ran towards the handsome man, like a little wild monkey directly climbing up from his leg and soon stably fell into his arms, with a very intimate attitude.

  Cui Ying thought that her brother had always been arrogant and aloof, if it wasn't for his own uncle, he wouldn't have been so close to him.

  It should be Yuan Wulang who is holding onto Xī Gēr this time.

  Although...

  Cui Ling's brow flickered with a brief frown.

  Although she had confirmed who Yuan Wulang was, she couldn't stop her inner rejection of this man.

  This man does not meet her expectations of a husband.

  She always thought that a man who could make her entrust him with all her emotions and life should be like Yuan Da Lang.

  Maybe not handsome enough. Can't be called a beautiful man.

  Nor will he say anything sweet, and there aren't many words either.

  But he is steady enough to make people feel safe and secure.

  He is also very tolerant and considerate, not seeing the dignified and powerful Madame Yining of Ningying County, but when facing Yuan Dalang, she becomes a shy and lovely little woman.

  Chui Ying envies her elder brother and sister-in-law's loving relationship, so she looks forward to her husband Wu Lang being the same kind of person.

  Imagination is always beautiful, but reality is heartbreakingly cruel.

  She could smell the faint scent of perfume on the man from afar. The fragrance was complex, with the richness of Osmanthus and the freshness of jasmine.

  Either he himself is wearing powder, or else there are many women surrounding him...

  Either way, it's the type she dislikes.

  Yes, the flirtatious and lecherous playboy is the kind of man she dislikes the most in her life, and she also can't identify with the narcissistic and self-loving sissy.

  But the man in front of her combined her flirtatiousness and narcissistic stench together.

  This was really unbearable for Cui Ying.

  Just as she hesitated, her younger brother in the man's arms asked strangely. "Fifth Aunt, are you shy? My fifth uncle is looking at you!"

  It had been more than four months since Wu Lang saw Cui Ying's face again, which was as beautiful as a fairy.

  Not even a little excited? That must be a lie.

  During this time, from the correspondence with Old Lady and Elder Brother, he learned that his detestable little wife was getting along swimmingly at home. She quickly won over everyone in the family, which left him astonished and curious.

  Yuan Wulang grew up following Old Lady around since he was a child and got along very well with several of his sisters-in-law.

  He was very familiar with everyone's temperament, not only the old lady, but also the elder sister, Yining County Master and several sisters, who were easy to fool?

  If Cui Ling is not genuine, always acting in front of everyone, pretending to be a good daughter-in-law or sister-in-law, maybe she can fool people for one or two days, but as time goes on, she will eventually reveal her true nature and it's impossible to have no flaws.

  The old lady's eyes are the sharpest when it comes to seeing through people, she must be able to tell.

  Being liked by Old Lady and several sisters to the point of doting, even in Big Brother's letter, there is a hint of pampering that only Yue'er has, it can be seen that if this woman is not really good, then her mind must be deep and frightening.

  Yuan Wulang wasn't stupid; he knew that if Cui Rong was a ruthless and cunning person, she wouldn't have made such a huge mistake on their wedding night.

  Walls have ears, and it is a warning given to every noble lady not to reveal the truth unless absolutely certain.

  Only a brainless woman would loudly say out that little calculation in her heart.

  He began to think that it was unfair to judge a woman's character based on just a few careless words she said on their wedding day.

  Those two heartless words really hurt him.

  But he's a man, will be the one to shield her from wind and rain in the future, shouldn't he also put aside his petty concerns and have more of the magnanimity that a man should have?

  Father has already made it clear that after this battle is over, the Yuan family will hand over military power and return to civilian life.

  He will be inseparable from this woman in the future. If there are prejudices in his heart, won't that day be very awkward?

  Since she is not beyond redemption, he should also take a step back.

  Consider it as giving her an opportunity and also giving myself one.

  With a nervous heart, Yuan Wulang suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and took two steps towards Cui Ying's direction, "Husband..."

  The word "person" had not yet been spoken. It was stuck hard in the throat, and the overwhelming loss swallowed it down with a thousand bitterness.

  Because his wife didn't even give him a proper look, she turned to the Ninth King and bowed down, saying "Greetings, husband."

  A bolt from the blue.

  It's as if the infinite warm sunshine of spring was suddenly shrouded in a layer of shadow.

  Dark clouds obscured the sunlight, and the whole sky was gloomy. Then came a flash of lightning and thunder, followed by a sudden downpour of heavy rain and strong winds.

  The raindrops got bigger and bigger, the weather got colder and colder, and finally the pea-sized raindrops froze into sharp and fierce hailstones.

  Yuan Wulang's heart was pummeled by hailstones until fresh blood flowed out, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't help himself!

  His face suddenly turned pale, his fists clenched tightly, and he silently passed by Cui Ying's side without a word, then walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

  Yu Ge and Jiu Wang were also shocked by the thunder.

  The little brother quickly climbed down from Jiu Wang's arms. When passing by Cui Ying, he stomped his feet heavily.

  He let out a sigh of frustration, "Auntie Wu, you! Ah!"

  Then he swiftly chased after the exceptionally desolate figure in front of him and went out.

  Cui Ying felt inexplicable, suddenly her heart moved, could it be... could she have made a mistake?

  But Jiǔ Wáng didn't give her this chance for self-reflection.

  He smiled and said, "You must have had a hard journey? Come in and have a cup of tea first, and tell me about what you've seen on the way. Shi Xiaosi mentioned one or two things in his letter. But this guy only says what he shouldn't say, and doesn't say what he should say, leaving people bewildered."

  Choi Yeong instinctively felt some resistance to being alone with Gwanggaeto.

  She smiled wryly and said, "The journey is tough. I'm a bit tired."

  The nine kings had a calm and collected expression, "Right, let's rest first. It's all the same even after we've rested."

  He paused for a moment, with a hint of sly smile in his eyes, and shouted loudly towards the outside of the door, "Ah Jun, the lady is tired, trouble you to send her to the Elegant Emotions Pavilion."

  Yuan Wulang sat on the steps of the courtyard gate, feeling extremely stifled. He heard the cries from inside but had no desire to intervene at all.

  He was too angry and also felt unbelievable, how could a wife mistake her own husband?

  Isn't this the rhythm of the red apricot coming out of the wall in no time?

  Even if there's a bit of unpleasantness between the two people on their wedding night, won't they be seeing each other again at the tea ceremony the next day?

  And she even personally escorted him to the second gate.

  He couldn't tell whether the woman had genuinely failed to recognize him or was intentionally teasing him.

  But in either case, one thing is certain: he's in a terrible mood.

  He is a man!

  Even if he hasn't established feelings with his own wife yet, which man can remain unmoved when seeing his own wife call another man "husband"?

  Moreover, Jiu Wang is still such a handsome and elegant man.

  Although he was once also listed alongside the Ninth King as one of the most popular handsome men in the prosperous dynasty, but now this sloppy and unkempt appearance of his, can't compare to the Ninth King?!

  Yuan Wulang thought to himself, he came here to fight, not to compare beauty.

  His beard was full because he was too busy and focused on the war, with no time to shave.

  Wearing dark-colored clothes is because they are durable and can withstand dirt, while coarse linen clothes are light and comfortable, also for the convenience of doing things.

  But that woman obviously just judged Husband by his appearance, this is simply... unforgivable!

  Xie Ge'er sat with Yuan Wulang on the stone steps, his face solemn.

  He patted Wu Lang's shoulder heavily and asked with a serious tone, "Wu Shu, you must be very sad now, right?"

  Heaving a sigh, the child decided to speak up for Cui Rong, "Don't take it to heart, Fifth Aunt has always been muddled like this, we're all used to it. I bet she didn't mean to be that way, her brain is just not quite right. Please, sir, be magnanimous and don't get angry with her!"

  Yuan Wulang's face turned dark and he asked, "So you want me to forgive her?"

  His face has lost all its grandeur, and it's really not easy to forgive him lightly.

  "Big Brother suddenly smiled, "The people involved are confused, but the onlookers see clearly. If Fifth Uncle wants to know what kind of person Fifth Aunt is, why not just get in touch with Ninth King Uncle and make a mistake or two?"

  ps：

  Isn't it very melodramatic? But this melodrama is also quite refreshing, right? Hahaha!
