Speaking from the heart, though me and Dill . Merlin has been married for more than a year and nearly two years, but I haven't figured out how to tell everyone about it. Now I was forced to say this helplessly, and even I was frozen in the words, and Filine in front of me didn't speak, her face was as cold as ice.

Neither of us knew what to do next, how to speak so that the situation would not get worse, so we had to remain silent.

"Is this true?" After a long time, Filine finally spoke, "You're really Diel." Merlin's husband?"

"Yes. I nodded, "It was the last time I went to Wanpu." ”

"I didn't believe it until I heard you say it yourself, I still had a little fantasy, but I didn't expect it to be like this......" Filyn looked up at me, tears welling up in her eyes: "Why? Is she beautiful? Have you ever thought that you already have three wives at home!"

"When it comes to beauty, she's not as good as Winsley, and when it comes to character, she's not as good as you. I tried to explain to her, "I took her because she was very talented in business, and our province was very short of money at the time." ”

"So, you made her your wife?" said Firine indignantly, "Is it so important to you that money?

How can two people without feelings become husband and wife?"

"Firin, I originally wanted to sue you about this matter, but I never had the right opportunity. I slowly approached Firin: "Let's not quarrel, let's talk well." Is that okay?"

Philin raised her head slightly. Holding back the tears in his eyes: "I'm listening." ”

So I put it with Diel. Merlin told Filine carefully from beginning to end.

"That's it. She doesn't know who I really am. I said solemnly: "I don't want to hide it from you, every time we meet, I want to tell you about it, but I just don't know how to speak, besides, we also have feelings." ”

"Sure enough, I was right. Philine said thoughtlessly: "The three of us can only be like this in your heart." ”

"Why do you think that? Because I care so much about your feelings, I don't know how to say it. ”

Although I didn't quite understand her words, I still readily admitted my mistake: "I know this matter is not handled well." But I promise you that I will not marry another woman in the future. ”

"You still don't understand, counting this one, you already have four wives, and for me, I made a mistake in the beginning. The price of this mistake is that I am forever destined to share my husband with other ladies, so what is the difference between you marrying more wives and now?" Fei Lin had already regained her composure: "But I can't accept that my husband didn't discuss it with me when he happened so strictly, and he didn't even reveal a trace of news. What am I to you, then, and what is the difference between me and a stranger to you?"

"Nope. Firin, things are not as strict as you think. ”

This is wrong in your consciousness. In your eyes. We, the wives, are like your subordinates, we can only do our best to do things for you, and you don't treat us as wives at all in your heart. Fei Lin's tone became tougher: "What is a wife? She is a relative who has to advance and retreat with her husband all her life! We have no complaints because we are afraid of our husband, and we are not dissatisfied with our husband's hard work, and we are willing to share it for our husband no matter how strict it is...... But, we definitely can't stand the deception of our husband!"

"But I mean it well. I said eagerly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it!"

"Don't say that you have an extra wife, even if your majesty is killed, your husband is 'killed', and the province is besieged, we all survive alone, what else can we not stand with?" Fei Lin Ye looked at me: "Isn't a well-intentioned deception a deception? In fact, your clumsy lie makes me even more sad." ”

"I ...... What the hell do you want from me?" I couldn't do anything: "What can I do to satisfy you?"

"Sincerity, I want your sincerity. Philine said, "Is it so difficult to ask you to be sincere?"

"What do you think...... I didn't treat you sincerely?"

"It's not that I'm going to think so, it's true. ”

Frankly, I was discouraged at this moment...... A feeling of extreme powerlessness began to fill my body and mind, filling every corner of my body, and I was not so depressed even when facing the siege of the Demon Alliance. No one has ever told me that my wife is so difficult to deal with. But then again, it's rare to see a woman as powerful as Firin.

I sat down on the stone bench, my head in my hands, and I couldn't think of anything better. Even I don't understand what this is all about, I don't think I'm stupid or stiff, why can I defeat an enemy army many times my size at a disadvantage, and I can gallop through the Demon Alliance...... But you can't deal with your own wife?

"Why, our Governor is speechless. Philine didn't intend to let me go: "This doesn't look like you!"

"And what do you want me to do?" I conceded in a listless tone, "Can you still be hung up and beaten by the municipal overseer?"

"Under the laws of the Empire, you have the right to do so. "But I know you won't." ”

"Seriously, Filine. I shook my head dejectedly, "I don't understand what's going on, why we had such a good relationship before the wedding, and our relationship hasn't gotten along well since the wedding?

"My husband. Philene looked at me, her eyes were not so cold: "I'm glad that you finally noticed the crux of the problem." ”

"The crux of the matter?" I thought for a moment, "Is it a wedding?"

"Yes, I was your friend before the wedding, but I have been your wife since the wedding. Filine nodded and said, "Do you know what a wife is, and how should a husband treat his wife?"

"I can't say this well. I still shook my head: "I care about you very much, and I respect you very much, is this wrong?"

"For the average aristocratic male. You're already a very competent husband in doing so. Felyn whispered, "But who are you? You're Cohen." Al Qaeda. You're a much better Cohen than the average nobleman. Al Qaeda. You should do it better than everyone else. ”

"Better?" I said with a wry smile, "I really don't know, what else can I do to be better?"

"Cohen, you're smarter than me, you should know that I, Kelly, and Winsley are all in love with you. Philine's face flushed slightly: "Although it is Aunt Nasher's decision for me and Kelly to marry you, we are both willing." So our marriage is based on affection, and it is a healthy union, not a deformed product of a power trade. “

"That's right. I nodded in agreement.

"We were friends before the wedding, and you cared about us back then. We are also very respectful and we are happy to be married with a man like you. Filine continued, "But what about after the wedding? It is not appropriate for you to treat us like children. ”

"Why isn't it appropriate?" I was a little surprised by Filin's words.

"We are husband and wife, which means that our position has changed. You know I don't like to be involved in politics because of my grandfather's affairs, but why do I have to serve as the internal affairs supervisor of the province?"

"Is it because ...... Are you my wife?"

"Yes, because I am your wife, I must help my husband without reservation, and I and my husband are one flesh, one with one loss. I will do everything in my power to protect you and your family at all costs. Feline stood up: "And in this world, only you are worthy of me." ”

"That'...... What did I do wrong?", I asked, confused.

"Haven't you noticed? since Aunt Nasher gave her marriage. Your attitude towards us has changed slightly. Philene slowly approached me: "Take the matter of Winsley's sister as an example, in fact, Kelly and I were mentally prepared to accept Winsley at that time. We know that with your personality you would never give up on Winsley. But we didn't expect you to handle this matter so strongly, and we had an argument with Kelly. ”

"Trust me, I didn't mean to. ”

"It's because we know you didn't mean it that we forgive you. Feline walked up to me and sat down, "And you don't realize that you already think of us as the kind of women who should hide behind your husband." ”

"I ......"

"Don't rush to plead, okay? you'll be busier in a few days, and we won't have many opportunities to talk like this. Filine stopped me: "We grew up together, and no one knows you better than I do, do you agree?"

I nodded, and Filine reached out and took mine.

"In fact, you're not the only one who is bothered by this, and it took me a lot of time to find my place after becoming your wife. Fei Lin gently held my hand: "If you want to do a good job, you will definitely be able to do a good job." ”

"I can't guarantee it, I can only do my best. ”

"Cohen, not trying. Philene looked at me with rare tenderness: "I know, nothing can stump you. ”

"Why do you think that?" because of her attitude, my mood also relaxed a lot: "Are you so confident in me?"

"Yes, I have great confidence in you. Filine said firmly, "Do you remember Aunt Nasher's advice to you? ”

"Of course I do. I nodded and said, "Don't lose yourself." ”

"Yes, don't lose yourself. Filine said happily, "I'm glad you remember." ”

"But it's hard to do that. ”

"Don't worry, you can do it. Philene caressed my face with her hand: "My dear, although it will be very hard, you must not let the filth of the world stain your soul. ”

"My mind. I shook my head and said, "I feel like I was born with bad habits and that I am polluting the world." ”

"Do you mean what you're doing in the coalition forces and in the temple? Don't say that, for me, it's just your means, and the superficial things don't matter. Filine rested her head on my shoulder: "I am your wife, I know your heart, and I don't care what other people think of you." ”

"So, you don't like my way of doing things, do you?"

"I can't ask you to be perfect in every aspect, I can only ask you to do a certain part. Filine whispered in my ear, "That's respect for me...... It's not respect, it's not about caring. Not even fear. ”

"I finally get it. I replied softly, "See." It's not enough to have love for my wife. There has to be respect. ”

"If you can put that respect into your love for me. Felin's voice was so small that I could barely hear it: "I'll be happier." ”

"I can't promise that I won't make mistakes in the process. I was a little at a loss for direction: "Besides, you have to give me some time, I can't promise you anything right now...... My head was a mess. ”

"If I can't tolerate even the occasional mistakes you make, can I still be your wife? I'll give you time. "And I know that you're only going to get better and better." ”

"There's one more thing I don't understand. I asked Firin, "Why do I always get behind when I get along with you?"

"It's very simple, just like what I said. You're not putting yourself in the right place. "We are not your enemies, and you will not resort to the methods you have done to your enemies," said Philin. There is another wife in your heart, and you don't know how to treat your wife, and you always want to get away with everything, and you refuse to confess, and you can't let go of it...... Naturally, you have troubles and burdens in your heart. ”

"You mean...... Am I trapping myself?"

"Isn't it?" Fei Lin chuckled, "I didn't expect our husband to be so smart, but he would still be stupid from time to time." ”

"Well, I think it's time for me to review it. I nodded and said, "So tonight, I am the one who benefits the most!"

"It's good to know. It seems that Firin's mood is also wrong. Laughed several times: "Then how can you thank me?"

"I'm going to give you the warmest hug. I hugged Filine and kissed her earlobe, "I know why you kicked me out of the room on my wedding day." ”

Philine smiled but didn't answer. Her expression made me feel like I had a chance: "Can I enter the room today?"

"No, I can't. Feline rejected me: "Governor Cohen. How can you go against your own words, you have to go in with a gift that is enough to satisfy us. ”

"I knew something like that. I was discouraged again: "What else do I have to vow! What a stupid ...... home."

"Well, you should take it as a lesson!" Filine simply closed her eyes.

"Do Kelly and Winsley know about what you told me tonight?" I said, "I don't want to be lectured by Madame three times in a row." ”

"Of course they do, that's why I'm here waiting for you. Filine hugged me and said, "We've always wanted to talk to you about it, but we didn't have the chance. ”

"That makes me feel much more at ease. I hesitated, "That's about Diel." Merlin ......"

"Now don't talk about other people, on such a warm night, I want to be alone with my husband for a while, at this moment, my husband is mine alone, I don't want to hear the names of other ladies. Filene covered my mouth with her hand: "This feeling is really intoxicating. ”

Saying such wayward words was unprecedented for Firin, and I didn't speak, but just hugged Filine tighter with both hands. After some time, Filine kissed me on the cheek, left my embrace, and sat up straight.

"It's not early, you have a lot of things to do tomorrow, go back and rest!" Filine brushed the hair around her ear and said softly, "I have to go back to my room, or Kelly and Winsley will be in a hurry." ”

"But ......," I said, "Diel." Where's Merlin?"

"I lied to you. Fei Lin smiled slyly: "Such a shrewd and capable little sister, I haven't had time to protect her!

"Thank you. I said gratefully, "I know you're here to take my feelings into account." ”

"It's best if you understand. Feline stood up, "When will we meet?"

"It's not right now, my status is a very sudden thing for her, and she may find it difficult to accept it for a while. ”

I also stood up: "And there will definitely be a series of large-scale battles for military and political affairs in the future, and I don't want more people to worry about me." ”

"Since you have decided so, then do it!" said Firin, "but I will pick a gift for her first." ”

"Are you going to start your friendship now?" I quipped, "and the four ladies are going to work harder as a husband." ”

"Don't be poor, it's all for the sake of His Majesty's face, don't think that we don't know that His Majesty is your witness. Fei Lin smiled and said, "By the way, you can also write a letter to her, a wife who has not heard from her husband for a long time, she must be very painful in her heart." ”

"Got it. I said, "I'll take you back to your room first, and then I'll go and write a letter." ”

"Then let's go!" Philin took my arm, "my dear husband." "The day after the summoning order was issued, the local officials under the province who were a little closer to the Dark City rushed to the Dark City. In the days that followed, various magistrates and chiefs of different races also arrived, and hundreds of people filled the only inn in the Dark City.

Most of these people were familiar to me, the magistrates were basically my subordinates, the foreign chiefs were mostly my elders, and there was a long queue of people waiting for me to meet in the governor's palace.

The subordinates wanted to meet me to report on their work, and the elders were even more lazy, so I could only take time to receive them one by one. Although the Governor was so busy running around all day and night that his feet did not touch the ground, in the end he was unable to do anything, so I had to ask the three Governors of the Interior to help me deal with it.
