Chaoxing still wasn't home yet and after what the emperor told me, I couldn't help but feel furious. Strong? How dare he tell me I'm not strong enough to stand by his side. Why would I even want to stay with such a jerk? There were thousand of men here and all of them, handsome.
Too bad! Mother had sent me an invitation to the gathering back at General Wu's manor. Chaoxing and I were meant to go together but he still wasn't back. Guess I would have to go by myself then. This would be the first time I would be going back home since Chaoxing and I got married. It wasn't an informal meeting. General Wu had decided to throw a banquet in honor of the battle won but I knew he just wanted to see me.
