Han Si Que had been at the border for many years and had long formed a habit. Without his command, no one dared to enter his bedroom.
So when he saw Mrs. Qin sitting there, he instinctively frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the questioning, Mrs. Qin felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and laughed in extreme anger, "What am I doing here? May I ask, husband, can I not be here? Or do you wish to see someone else waiting here for you?"
Han Si Que looked at Mrs. Qin. He didn’t have a deep impression of her. When they got engaged, his mother said Mrs. Qin was a gentle and kind woman. After marrying her, Mrs. Qin indeed managed household affairs and earned the appreciation of the people in the mansion. But at that time, he was filled with the pain of having to give up his beloved and had no mood to care about what kind of person Mrs. Qin was, nor did he have the mood to even look at her more than once. Shortly after, he simply left for the border, and not even for the birth of their child did he return.
On the few occasions he returned, he was always in a hurry, lacking the energy to pay attention to someone he had no interest in. After she gave birth to their second son, he returned to the capital even less.
Toward the woman who was his wife, Han Si Que’s only memories of her were probably the few frequent praises from his mother, words like gentle and kind, good at managing the household.
He didn’t remember those very clearly either.
In his heart, he always wished that their marriage was just a dream.
He was only marrying and having children with someone else in a dream, that’s all.
If Mrs. Qin hadn’t been sitting here at this moment, glaringly reminding him that all of this was real, he probably would have already forgotten who this woman was.
"You should go back. I want to rest for a while. There are matters to attend to in the morning!" Han Si Que softened his tone. After all, he did feel guilty towards her.
But the resentment Mrs. Qin had harbored for so many years was not so easily swallowed!
They were husband and wife. She had arrived the day before yesterday, yet after sending people to find him several times, her husband had no time to pay attention to her! Last night, she personally went to him, and before even getting close to his room, she saw him hurriedly leaving with others. Upon inquiring, she found out he was chasing after Su Yaogeng!
She waited here the whole night for him. He was with Su Yaogeng the entire night!
Thinking of this made Mrs. Qin’s tears fall unstoppably, despite her stubbornness. She stared at Han Si Que and shouted, "Doesn’t my husband realize the power of gossip? How could he place me in such a position? Aren’t there countless eyes watching in the palace? Doesn’t my husband care at all? Has my husband forgotten, the Eldest Princess is now our sister-in-law, and our second brother is still in the palace! Something has happened with County Princess, yet the second brother hasn’t even shown up, and my husband chased after the Eldest Princess. Have you considered the feelings of the second brother? Are you disregarding our years of marriage, not to mention the brotherly bonds?!"
Each word from Mrs. Qin pierced deeply into Han Si Que’s heart. Even the usually stable and composed General Han, at this moment, in the face of his wife’s questioning, was near losing control. He clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands, lowered his eyes, and forcefully suppressed his impending rage, growling, "Shut up!"
