The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 304 - 303

Chapter 304: Chapter 303

Si Yuting was summoned to the palace by the Empress.

"Yuting, you’re here. Did you see the divorce and property division application submitted by Tongtong?" the Empress greeted Si Yuting to have a seat.

Si Yuting didn’t answer and walked over to the table, looking at several pieces of Si Chen’s calligraphy, each containing only two characters.

The Empress explained with an elegant smile, "The plan is that after you and Tongtong divorce, the Queen Mother intends to take her as a goddaughter. Could you help choose which title might be better?"

"Also, the crown must be the most beautiful one. You’ll have time to design one for Tongtong according to the highest standards."

"I will prepare the gown myself, and when the time comes..."

However, Si Yuting’s expression grew increasingly grave, cutting off the Empress:

"Your Majesty, I will not agree to this matter."

The Empress rolled her eyes, ready to speak, but Si Yuting continued, "If Your Majesty has nothing better to do, perhaps you could assist the Empress in caring for the children or find a way to gather this year’s military subsidies."

"Yuting, is that how you speak to your mother?" Si Chen, of course, stepped in to defend his wife.

Si Yuting glanced over, "If the Alchemist Association is clamoring for military protection and you do nothing, if there’s no response plan or family compensation proposed for the abduction of pharmacists by the Insect Clan, then if you are indeed so free, I will return to Abel Star."

Si Chen: "..."

Now it was clear; the young man was not in a good mood today.

The Empress gave a fox-like blink and teased with a laugh, "What’s wrong? Don’t agree to Tongtong becoming a princess, or are you not planning to divorce?"

Si Yuting pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

The Empress couldn’t see through what her own son was thinking and decided not to provoke him further, considering he was her flesh and blood.

She rolled up the titles scattered on the table, tying them up, thinking they might still be useful if her son proved inadequate.

"What are you planning to do with the divorce application?" Si Chen set down his pen, found a place to sit, and observed the unusually expressive and handsome face of Si Yuting.

Having heard that it was he who first mentioned divorce, Si Chen had thought Yuting would agree outright.

"I will handle it myself," Si Yuting said, intending to say no more.

"Alright, let me know how I can assist," Si Chen knew there had to be another reason for his visit to the palace.

Indeed, Si Yuting declared coldly, "Give me command over the Military Science Academy and the genetic database. They are too slow, and I don’t have that much time to wait."

Si Yuting frowned, a sign of his dissatisfaction.

"It’s easy to transfer command of the Military Science Academy, but the genetic database is a bit problematic, you know your great-grandfather..." Si Chen found his own father a headache to discuss.

"Isn’t the Alchemist Association seeking military protection? Reassign 5,000 soldiers from the First Legion to them," Si Yuting said expressionlessly.

Si Chen was slightly surprised, "Aren’t you afraid your men will be bought off?"

It was rare for anyone to resist the temptation of elixirs; a traitor in the First Legion was no small matter.

"They can’t be bought," Si Yuting stated confidently, and Si Chen said no more.

Before leaving, Si Yuting asked the Empress, "Your Majesty, do you know where Tongtong is now?"

"Why don’t you ask her yourself?" the Empress thought irritably.

Si Yuting pressed his lips together, "She’s blocked me."

"Huh?" the Empress was taken aback for a moment, "She only told me she was going out to clear her mind."

"Fine."

As soon as Si Yuting stepped out of the West Flower Hall, the Empress’s boisterous laughter echoed from behind him, prompting him to quicken his pace.

"Boss, the lady did not return to Luyi Star and did not tell anyone where she was going," Wu Yue, urgently recalled, was organizing the information gathered, "However, before the lady left, she had visited the residence of the Kasa Empire’s seventh prince."

Sitting in the black office chair of the Military Science Academy, Si Yuting appeared cold and sullen, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the tabletop.

"Where are the traces of Kasa’s seventh prince and ninth prince?"

"The whereabouts of Kasa’s seventh prince are unclear, but it is certain that he is still within the Canaan Empire. The ninth princess returned to her country three days ago, around the same time as when my sister-in-law disappeared." Wu Yue couldn’t help but speculate, "My sister-in-law has a good relationship with Kasa’s ninth princess. Could she have gone to the Kasa Empire?"

Si Yuting didn’t respond but instead asked, "Is there any news about Jun Li?"

"There was a sighting of a flying vehicle resembling Miss Jun Li’s in the Southern Border previously," Wu Yue answered truthfully.

"Go and investigate the evidence of lax border surveillance by the Fifth Legion."

"Understood," Wu Yue responded.

Judging by the Grand Marshal’s behavior, it seemed likely that his sister-in-law had sneaked out of the country.

Xingrui silently lit a stick of incense in his heart, ready to add another charge to his list.

After Wu Yue left, Si Yuting pulled up his Light Brain. The divorce application was still pending.

If Ali had gone to the neighboring empire, the flight from the Capital Star would take at least three days at the fastest, and he couldn’t leave now.

He scrolled to the next item and clicked into the details page...

Qu Tong had arrived at the Cangling Empire several hours ago, accompanied by Liang Ge and directed by Emperor Changxin himself to see the baby pandas.

An emotionless, cold mechanical voice came from the flying vehicle connected to Qu Tong’s Light Brain: "Respectable Miss Qu Tong, the immovable property of Stia Manor, belonging to your husband Mr. Si Yuting, has been transferred to your name. Please check the transfer."

Qu Tong: "..."

Her identity was exposed, completely unexpectedly.

She had used her primary account because she was waiting for news from Xu An and others.

Liang Ge and Qu Tong both looked at Emperor Changxin, who elegantly adjusted his glasses frames: "I can keep a secret. Might Miss Jun Li spare my life?"

"Your Majesty is joking," Qu Tong said, smiling lightly.

Qu Tong turned back, and the announcement rang out again:

"Respectable Miss Qu Tong, the immovable property of Yuelan Bay belonging to your husband Mr. Si Yuting has been transferred to your name. Please check the transfer."

"Respectable Miss Qu Tong, the immovable property of commercial shops along number 75 on the Capital Star has been transferred to your name. Please check the transfer."

"Respectable Miss Qu Tong, the immovable property of Mining Star 0258 has been transferred to your name. Please check the transfer."

"Respectable Miss Qu Tong..."

...

Even when Qu Tong muted the volume, the message box at the top continued to pop up one after another without stopping.

She couldn’t remember how long it lasted, but she recalled seeing a balance with over a dozen zeroes at the end.

Liang Ge’s expression had morphed from curiosity to sheer disbelief, his mouth opening wider and wider, almost hitting the floor.

His Excellency the God of War is too rich!

Pah!

That’s not the point, whether His Excellency the God of War is rich or not.

The point is, now all these properties, stocks, shops, planets... including the Star Coins, have been transferred to his sister’s name.

"The wealth of Canaan’s War God is indeed substantial, even beyond my reach," Emperor Changxin said.

Qu Tong gave an embarrassed smile to Emperor Changxin, set the flying vehicle to autopilot mode, turned off the display sync, and started looking through her Light Brain.

What is Si Yuting up to?

He didn’t agree to the divorce yet, but he’s already dividing the assets?

If she remembered correctly, the Empress had said that he owns just two manors on the Capital Star, both of which have now been transferred to her.

Yuelan Bay is also hers now. Isn’t he living there anymore?
