They really had no choice but to separate the two of them. They were already fighting with sabers and spears. As soon as everyone left, these two men would definitely start fighting again.
Ever since the establishment of the Heavenly King's Abode, this was the first time a husband and wife had fought for real, especially in the Heavenly King's Abode.
The purpose of bringing him away was very simple. It was nothing more than to ask what was going on.
Miao Yi had nothing much to say, saying that Yun Zhiqiu was a shrew or something along the lines of that.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Miao Yi, Kou Zheng didn't pursue the matter any further. He knew that if Miao Yi really had the intention of divorcing his wife and leaving the Kou family, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. That was why the Old Master didn't ask too much about it, and only asked them to give it a try.
As for Yun Zhiqiu's explanation to Sui Chuchu, it was that she suspected Miao Yi of having an affair.
In this regard, Sui Chuchu advised her to turn a blind eye, saying that all men were like this, especially men with a bit of power.
Later on, the Kou brothers and the Young Masters came over and dragged Miao Yi to drink with them. It could be said that they were trying to console him.
In short, both sides could only be persuaded to stay together, not to leave.
However, there were times when it was easy to differentiate who was close to who was not. If it were any other husband and wife in the Kou family doing this, the Kou family would naturally have their own rules to deal with them. Moreover, no one would hold the Miao couple accountable for the trouble they had caused. Only Old Master Kou would reprimand them.
More than half of the Cloud Pavilion was destroyed in the battle, and it would take some time to rebuild it. Miao Yi and his wife decided to stay in Kou Zheng's garden for the time being.
After moving into a new room, Yun Zhiqiu ordered Qian 'er and Xue' er to rearrange the furniture.
While they were packing up, Qian 'Er, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally couldn't help but say, "Madam, actually, there are some things that can be done in private. Isn't it a little inappropriate to make Sir lose face in public?"
"Humph! What do you two girls know? " Yun Zhiqiu sat down at the side, lifted her skirt with both hands, and crossed her legs. She said with a smug look on her face, "Don't think that a married couple can be affectionate just because a woman is obedient to a man. After a long time, he was tired of her. No matter how gentle and considerate he was, it was useless. Do you think I like to be a shrew? Being a shrew wasn't the goal; it was to make him understand his bottom line. Today, he overturned the heavens. He actually dared to make a move against me. My butt is still hurting. That bastard was really ruthless. If I really let him think that he can scare me by hitting me, what would happen when he gets tired of me? I have to make him understand that I can do anything if he angers me. I have to make him have some scruples and understand what he shouldn't do. I have to subdue him so that this family can last. Otherwise, I don't know what this bastard will do in the future. No matter how gentle and considerate I am, even if I lick his feet, it will be useless. At that time, it will be too late even if you want to redeem yourself. But then again. Your adults aren't fools. He knows very well whether I'm good or bad to him. This is called having a degree of relaxation. Otherwise, how could he allow me to make trouble? Haha! "
She couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of Miao Yi's disheveled appearance in front of everyone. A hint of tenderness surfaced in her eyes, and her heart felt warm. That guy still cared about her. Otherwise, with his current strength, he wouldn't have been forced into such a fluster by her. He just couldn't bear to hurt her.
Her reasoning left Qian'Er and Xue'Er speechless as they looked at each other. They sighed inwardly. Miao Yi's marrying a madam was quite pitiful. Miao Yi had always been an unruly and decisive person. He was a hero on the battlefield, yet he just had to fall into the hands of this madam. Madam's methods, combining strength and gentleness, had completely dominated Miao Yi.
The two of them soon heard Yun Zhiqiu sigh softly again. She turned around and saw a hint of sadness in her expression. She didn't know what was going on.
Little did she know that Yun Zhiqiu had another reason for making such a fuss today. She hoped that once the news got out, those with ulterior motives would think twice about it. She was afraid that the Celestial Court would get impatient and try to kill Miao Yi. Perhaps if the news of the discord between husband and wife got out, it would slow things down a little.
From another perspective, this was also a foreshadowing. Once Miao Yi's situation was truly worrisome, it wouldn't be too abrupt for her to provide support on her side. However, there were some ideas that she couldn't tell Miao Yi yet. Otherwise, he would definitely not agree to it …
In the end, Miao Yi was persuaded by Kou Zheng to come over. As soon as the couple met, there were still some signs of conflict. Sui Chuchu acted as the peacemaker, speaking until her mouth was dry as she tried to persuade them to reconcile.
She used the old master's name to pressure them, and only then did the two of them agree to stop arguing. Kou Zheng and Sui Chuchu heaved a sigh of relief and left.
However, the atmosphere in the hall was a little off. One of them was looking in one direction, while the other was looking in the other direction.
"My butt is hurting from being spanked. Qian'Er, Xue'Er, come and rub it for me!" In the end, Yun Zhiqiu stood up and left, taking the two girls with her, leaving Miao Yi alone in the hall.
Miao Yi didn't think that Yun Zhiqiu would actually be angry at him. It was just as Yun Zhiqiu had said. He understood Yun Zhiqiu quite well. The two of them had always quarreled, and neither of them would hold a grudge against the other. However, this time, Miao Yi felt a little humiliated. He was actually being hunted down by his wife with a saber in public.
However, when he thought about what he was about to do in the phantom market, he sighed and got up to search for her as well.
When he arrived at the bedroom, Yun Zhiqiu was lying on the bed. Qian'Er and Xue'Er were really rubbing her butt. Miao Yi felt a headache coming on. 'What's wrong with this woman?'
When she saw him enter, Yun Zhiqiu closed her eyes and pretended not to see anything.
Miao Yi waved his hand, gesturing for Qian'Er and Xue'Er to leave. After the two of them left, he sat down by the bed and began to rub her butt. He asked, "Did I hurt you?"
"What do you think?" Yun Zhiqiu huffed.
Miao Yi didn't reply. Instead, he suddenly said, "Sister Qiu 'er, didn't you want to know what happened between me and Zhan Ruyi? I'll admit that there is indeed something going on between us. "
Yun Zhiqiu couldn't hold it in any longer. Her eyes widened. She slapped his hand away and abruptly sat up. She stared at him with widened eyes and said, "I say, Niu'Er. You really slept with her? Zhan Ruyi's looks aren't enough to make you lose control, are you? Are you crazy? "
"What are you thinking about?" Miao Yi shook his head and sighed. "It's not what you think. It's a long story. Back when I was serving in the Black Tiger Banner, I captured Zhan Ruyi and hung her on the flagpole. After that, Zhan Ruyi's mother, Ying Luohuan, came to the Black Tiger Banner to look for me. At first, I didn't know what was going on. It was only after Marquis Zhan Ping personally told me about it in the Imperial Garden that I understood what was going on. Zhan Ruyi actually didn't want to become a concubine in the first place. She wanted to escape from the Imperial Garden, but under the circumstances, I was the only one who could help her leave … "
From the moment he received the order to detain Zhan Ruyi, he recalled how Zhan Ruyi had begged him. She had even taken off her clothes and given up on her high and mighty dignity in front of him, and how Miao Yi had rejected her. After that, Zhan Ping told Yun Zhiqiu that Zhan Ruyi actually liked him. He also told her why Ying Luohuan had looked for him, and how Zhan Ping had hoped that Miao Yi would seize the last chance to take Zhan Ruyi away, and how he had rejected her. He gave a detailed account of everything that had happened to him.
To be honest, he didn't want to tell Yun Zhiqiu all of this. This was a past that he couldn't bear to think about, and it was one of the few things he kept from her.
However, after the couple had argued for a while because of this, he suddenly felt the need to tell Yun Zhiqiu. One reason was that he didn't want her to misunderstand. Another reason was that he didn't know what would happen to the phantom market in the future. He hoped that Yun Zhiqiu had some things in mind so that she wouldn't make a mistake in the unlikely event that something unexpected happened.
After listening to Miao Yi's story, Yun Zhiqiu was shocked. She finally understood why Miao Yi had done something so impulsive in front of so many people back then, resulting in him being banished to the Primordial Death Grounds for punishment. She didn't expect there to be such an incredible story behind it.
She understood Miao Yi all too well. Deep down, she knew that Miao Yi was a man who cared deeply about his relationships. Given his temperament, he would have had to be extremely determined to do something as heartless as that. However, he had to bear so many burdens on his shoulders at that time. What could he have done?
Given this man's hot-blooded personality, he still had to watch and personally send Zhan Ruyi into the Heavenly Palace. To him, it was a little too cruel. Even though he was saying it now, Yun Zhiqiu could feel his emotions at that time.
It had nothing to do with whether he liked Zhan Ruyi or not. Yun Zhiqiu knew that this would probably become a scar that Miao Yi would never want to reopen. He probably didn't want to see Zhan Ruyi ever again!
After saying his piece, Miao Yi gently closed his eyes, a faint smile on his face. However, the unbearable pain behind that smile made Yun Zhiqiu, who understood him, feel a little sad.
For the first time, Yun Zhiqiu felt that she had gone a little overboard. She shouldn't have forced Miao Yi to tell her about this. She was practically stabbing a knife into this man's heart.
She approached him and knelt down beside him. She opened her arms and wrapped them around Miao Yi's head, gently pulling him into her embrace. Then, she lowered her head and pressed it against his cheek. She whispered softly, "Maybe you helped her. Or maybe that's the best place for her. Who knows?"
"I hope it's the best place for her!" Miao Yi chuckled.
"Alright. It's all in the past now. I'll forgive you this time. If you dare lay a hand on me again, I'll fight you to the death … "
Miao Yi didn't stay long in the Kou Tian King's manor. A few days later, Tang Henian informed Miao Yi that the replacement troops from the phantom city had been prepared and were already on their way to the phantom city. Miao Yi then took his leave and returned to the phantom city under the protection of the Kou Clan's experts.
Naturally, the first thing he did after arriving at the phantom city was to replace the troops.
He had just sorted out the matters here and the elders of the headquarters had just left when the Pavilion of Trust sent someone over to invite Miao Yi over.
Miao Yi first sent the person away, saying that he had some matters to attend to and would visit another day. In reality, he had put aside all the matters at hand and ordered that he wouldn't see anyone. After pacing around the house for a long time, Miao Yi finally contacted Yang Qing, who was currently in the Purgatory. He wanted to ask for advice!
What he was going to do this time was filled with danger. He had no choice but to be careful. After some thought, he still wanted to hear Yang Qing's opinion.
When Yang Qing found out what he wanted to do, he was greatly shocked. This was practically using his own life as a joke. He anxiously asked, "How could the Kou family agree to Daren doing such a thing?" Don't tell me that the Kou family doesn't know that it's hard for them to stay calm in the Ghost City and that they can't provide any assistance to Daren? Doing all this was completely useless.
Miao Yi thought, 'I was the one who convinced Heavenly King Kou in person. My reasoning is simple. Even if I don't do it, some people won't let me go. Instead of waiting for death, why not strike first?
Yang Qing: Sir, can you tell me the details?
Miao Yi didn't hide anything, and explained in detail how he convinced Heavenly King Kou on the spot.
After listening, Yang Qing asked, "The Kou Family acquiesced in Daren taking Ying Yang's head, and even thought of a way to help Daren replace the people in the Ghost City?
Miao Yi: That's right! The level of support was not small.
Yang Qing cried out in alarm, 'Daren, your words are incorrect! Daren's current situation has long since become the Kou Family's chicken ribs. It's tasteless to consume, and bitterly disappointing to discard! If Daren didn't do this, the Kou Family would still have to think of ways to protect Daren. With the Kou Family's influence, they would still have room to maneuver. If they had no other choice, they could still make an exchange of benefits. Now that Daren has done this, the Kou Family can instead go with the flow and show that they are fully supporting Daren. If anything happens, Daren will be the one courting death. When that happens, not only will the Kou Family be rid of a burden, they will also be able to account to both the internal and external parties. Yet, Daren has placed himself in a dead end. Daren, you are foolish! '
With this reminder, Miao Yi's expression darkened. He realized that the Kou Family was indeed unreliable. However, he still made up his mind. There was only one thing he could say, 'It's better to rely on yourself than on others!'
Yang Qing still had the same old habit. He still advised Miao Yi to reconsider. He would let the higher-ups handle the arm-wrestling. There was no need for him to smash his head against the wall.
However, Miao Yi had already made up his mind. He had already made up his mind on the general direction, and he had to do it no matter what. Yang Qing was helpless. He knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he could only ask Miao Yi to give him some time to think.
Fei Hong entered the room several times and found that Miao Yi was facing the wall, staring motionlessly at a painting on the wall.
The painting was new. Miao Yi had Xu Tangran get it for him. It was a painting of 'Demons Wreaking Havoc'. As the name suggested, the painting was very horrifying. She didn't know where Xu Tangran got it from. Even though Fei Hong didn't know why Miao Yi wanted to hang such a painting in the room, she knew that it was definitely what Miao Yi wanted. When it came to this, Fei Hong couldn't help but be impressed by Xu Tangran. As long as Miao Yi asked, Xu Tangran would always have a way to get some strange things to satisfy Miao Yi's wishes. It was simply unimaginable, and she couldn't help but be impressed.
She went in and out several times to refill his tea, but Miao Yi didn't move at all. Fei Hong also tiptoed and lightened her footsteps. She knew that Miao Yi was deep in thought, and didn't dare to disturb him.
After half a day, Miao Yi finally received a reply from Yang Qing. Miao Yi asked, 'What do you think?'
Faced with the phantom market, he was actually a little clueless. He didn't know where to start. Otherwise, he would have done it long ago.
Yang Qing had no choice but to reply, 'Daren, if you really want to do that, you must first accomplish one thing.'
Miao Yi: 'Mister must have a good plan. I am willing to listen to Mister's advice!'
'Good plan my ass! It would be strange if you would listen to me!' Yang Qing was already cursing him in his mind, but he still had no choice but to try his best. He hoped that Miao Yi would listen to him. 'Of course it is to settle down and settle down. First, ensure your own safety, and then scheme for other things. Only then can you establish an invincible position!'
Miao Yi: 'What do you want to tell me?
