Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Although Cheng Wenwen has feelings for Wang Shen, she cannot resist the reality. In their modern times, the bloody plot of the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is troublesome enough, not to mention that in this feudal ancient time, an unpopular daughter-in-law can only be suppressed.

Cheng Wenwen originally fled the Cheng family because she didn't want to live a life of pleasing others, and she didn't want to jump into another Cheng family.

Therefore, she didn't want to live a life where she had to be cautious and try to please others.

Moreover, if Wang Shen and his family fell out because of me, and their relationship became distant in the future, Wang Shen would blame me.

She didn't want to bear such a crime.

Cheng Wenwen pulled her hand away and said to Wang Shen, "Cousin, I don't want to live such a hard life. I think this kind of life is pretty good, so even if I get married in the future, I want to find a suitable person to live with. I don't want to live in contradictions. That way, neither of us will be good."

"Wenwen..."

Wang Shen didn't expect that he was determined to marry her, but she just wanted to back off.

"Wenwen, if we don't try, how do we know that life won't be easy? We like each other, how can we just give up like this?"

Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Yes, cousin. We like each other, but love cannot overcome difficulties. If we insist on being together, how will you face your parents? What if they never accept me in their entire lives? How can I face your parents? They are your parents, born to be above us. The word filial piety can torture me. What will happen to my situation?"

Wang Shen said: "Wenwen, trust me, I will protect you. We live in separate houses, so this kind of thing will not happen."

Cheng Wenwen sighed and said, "Cousin, just think of me as a heartless person. Maybe in my heart, my own feelings are more important than love. I don't want to wrong myself to accept a difficult relationship, so cousin, I'm sorry!"

Wang Shen frowned, as if he was suddenly trapped in a puzzle. He thought that as long as he was determined, they would be able to be together.

But she said that she didn't want to change for herself, nor did she want to be wronged.

Cheng Wenwen's reasons seemed to be right, but he just felt that their relationship shouldn't be so fragile. She should hold on a little longer instead of ending it before she even started to fight.

"Wenwen, I won't let you suffer any injustice. At worst, you won't go to the palace anymore, and we can just live alone outside."

Cheng Wenwen shook her head and said, "Cousin, can you stay away from home for the rest of your life? You always miss your family during the holidays, right? If they invite you back, won't you go back? Even if you don't go back, you and I will both feel bad. You will slowly start to blame me for not being considerate enough, and I will blame myself for hindering your family affection. Slowly, our love will dissipate, and only mutual blame will remain."

Wang Shen's breath was unstable, and he said solemnly: "Wenwen, do you miss me like this? I told you to believe me! Why don't you believe me at all?"

"Cousin, I believe you are sincere at this moment, and I believe you really want to marry me, but people's hearts are fickle, and neither you nor I can guarantee what will happen in the future, so I can't gamble."

Cheng Wenwen sighed.

Wang Shen was silent. Indeed, what Cheng Wenwen said was absolutely right.

But this just illustrates the problem. She is so rational, how much affection does she have for me?

Wang Shen chuckled.

Cheng Wenwen looked at him and smiled, then continued with a sigh: "Cousin, you and I both have to accept reality."

"Wenwen, I know that no matter what I promise, it will be useless, but why are you unwilling to give it a try with me? If our relationship turns into mutual hatred as you said, then the worst that can happen is that we will separate. Do you think I am the kind of person who would drag on and not separate?"

Wang Shen suddenly regained his senses and began to analyze the pros and cons with Cheng Wenwen.

"You don't have to consider my family. Just tell me if you are willing to marry me right now. I promise you that if you are not happy in the future, you can divorce me. I have written the divorce agreement in advance so I am not afraid that I will regret it. If you are unhappy at that time, you can leave at any time. How do you think?"

Cheng Wenwen was shocked. Cousin Wang, could you actually come up with such a condition?

Cheng Wenwen was a little confused for a moment, torn between reason and emotion.

In fact, the condition proposed by Wang Shen is quite beneficial to himself.

She has lived in this world for so long that she has almost forgotten that she is a modern person. Why would a modern person be afraid of divorce?

It doesn’t matter if you get divorced a few times, as long as you live a good life.

However, Cheng Wenwen was still cautious and said, "Cousin, please give me a few days to think about it. I want to think more clearly about our relationship."

The situation is chaotic now, and we cannot make decisions like this.

Wang Shen knew that she might find it difficult to accept, but seeing her so hesitant, he felt a little uncomfortable.

She was unwilling to risk it all for herself.

But, it's enough as long as you can do it yourself.

They will definitely have a good ending.

But, everything is always unpredictable.

This delay caused Wang Shen to lose his opportunity again.

On the second day, a letter came from Shanzhou. Shanzhou suffered heavy losses in the battle with Xizuo, and almost all the soldiers in the city were killed. Fortunately, the British envoys arrived in time, and Shanzhou did not fall into the hands of Xizuo.

The emperor was furious at the dangerous news and ordered Qi Shuo, the general of Shanzhou, to return to Beijing to answer for his crime.

More than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shanzhou City were wiped out, accounting for one-tenth of the city’s defenses. Naturally, the imperial court would find it difficult not to hold them accountable.

Moreover, Duke Ying was in command of a large army and was already feared by the emperor. Qi Shuo was his adopted son and was promoted to Shanzhou by him, so he naturally could not escape blame.

As a result, the Duke of England's political enemies wrote letters to the emperor to rebuke him and asked His Majesty to deal with the matter. The Emperor was already dissatisfied with the Duke of England, so he naturally took this opportunity to punish him.

As a result, Qi Shuo was forced back to the capital soon.

When Cheng Wenwen heard the news, she couldn't help but feel panicked.

After all, he and Qi Shuo have a destiny. Even if they have different ideas and are suitable for divorce, she doesn't want him to die!

Pei'er was still muttering: "How could this happen out of nowhere? My uncle has been on the battlefield for many years, how could he be so careless?"

At this anxious moment, Cheng Wenwen didn't bother to correct Pei'er's mistake of calling Qi Shuo uncle.

This incident made Cheng Wenwen wonder, could it be that his separation from her affected his mood and caused him to act like this?

If this is true, I would be guilty.

Cheng Wenwen was always paying attention to Qi Shuo's news. The loss of 20,000 imperial troops was a serious crime, and the court would probably find it difficult to forgive him.

"Don't worry, young lady. My son-in-law is the adopted son of the Duke. As long as the Duke can protect him, he will be fine."

"No!" Cheng Wenwen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid the Duke of England won't help!"

She had thought of Pei'er's idea a long time ago, but the northwest was originally the territory of the Duke of England. If the Duke of England really wanted to protect him, why did he report the matter back to the capital and let Qi Shuo be punished?

It was obvious that the Duke of Ying only needed to conceal the matter or pass the blame on others in order to save Qi Shuo.

So, the Duke of England is going to abandon Qi Shuo?
