Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Jiang Shouzhong's eyes were full of laughter. He raised his hand and lightly scratched the young girl's exquisite and straight jade-like nose, smiling indulgently:

"Pretty, my ass. In my heart, it's my Miaomiao who is truly unparalleled. When my Miaomiao stands here, all other women are just...

Jiang Shouzhong realized he misspoke and quickly stopped.

"Go on, why did you stop?"

Yelü Miaomiao looked at him with a smile on her lips.

Jiang Shouzhong awkwardly coughed and hurriedly salvaged the situation: "Except for Hong Ling and the others, other women aren't even worth a second glance."

"Hmph, just knows how to be smooth-tongued and glib."

Yelü Miaomiao wrinkled her cute little nose and pretended to be angry.

But thinking about the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Jiang Shouzhong, the girl's originally delighted mood was shadowed by a trace of gloom.

"Husband, the Empress Dowager is determined to attack Dazhou and oppose you, and she won't let me be with you. What do you think we should do?"

Yelü Miaomiao looked worried.

Jiang Shouzhong nonchalantly waved his hand: "No worries, given my current strength, Yanrong doesn't stand a chance. When the time is right, they will naturally give up the idea of attacking Dazhou.

As for the Empress Dowager trying to stop us from being together, she can't decide that. If worst comes to worst, I'll just... take her out!"

Jiang Shouzhong deliberately dragged out the words, making a fierce gesture.

"You dare!?"

Yelü Miaomiao's eyes widened in surprise.

Jiang Shouzhong laughed and quickly consoled her: "Just kidding. Don't worry, I can definitely win over your Empress Dowager. By the way, how is Jingjing doing now?"

Recalling the woman who had once shared trials and hardships with him, Jiang Shouzhong felt a sense of longing.

"Jingjing? Who's that?"

Yelü Miaomiao looked confused.

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback and frowned: "Isn't she the lady-in-waiting by the Empress Dowager's side?"

"Lady-in-waiting?"

Yelü Miaomiao blinked her eyes, scratched her little head, and carefully recalled all the attendants by the Empress Dowager's side. After a moment, she tentatively asked: "Could you be talking about Sister Aruji?"

"Um, I guess that's her."

Jiang Shouzhong wasn't sure of Jingjing's full name.

Yelü Miaomiao grew even more puzzled and muttered: "Why did you suddenly ask about her? Do you two know each other?"

Jiang Shouzhong felt a bit guilty and, embarrassed to admit that he had met another confidante, could only laugh awkwardly and explain: "Just... a friend."

Friend?

Yelü Miaomiao was even more confused.

In her memory, the sturdy and robust Aruji was extremely reclusive, rarely leaving Shangjing. How did she suddenly become Jiang Shouzhong's friend?

"Forget it, I'll personally go to Shangjing with you, negotiate with the Empress Dowager, and propose marriage."

Having gone through many emotional ups and downs, Jiang Shouzhong's character had become decisive and straightforward. He no longer wished to be indecisive in matters of love.

If he could cut through the chaos quickly, he certainly wouldn't delay, to avoid repeating the mistakes with Ran Qingchen.

"Propose marriage?"

Yelü Miaomiao worriedly said, "The Empress Dowager will kill you."

Jiang Shouzhong laughed: "She has to have that ability. If she insists on disagreeing, I'll just hold you every day, clinging to her bedside to give her a headache, and keep having kids to annoy her."

"You're just talking nonsense."

Yelü Miaomiao's cheeks flushed as she playfully punched the man's chest.

But his words gave her a wild and daring idea.

Always bold and fierce by nature, Yelü Miaomiao planned to take a surprising approach to force the Empress Dowager to agree: "Husband, why don't we... do it in front of the Empress Dowager?"
