The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 329 - 328: The Peak of Life

Chapter 329: Chapter 328: The Peak of Life

Sunlight spilled onto the half-open windowsill, neatly filtered into segments, with cartoon slippers aligned perfectly in the middle in front of the bed.

An elegant crystal holder had been added to the starry globe on the desk, and a glass cup was placed snugly beside it.

Qu Tong didn’t linger in bed today; she had set an alarm clock on purpose.

Both the Empress and Si Yuting had told her in advance that there would be a celebration banquet tomorrow and, after discussion, they would make an official announcement then.

Today, she was going to enter the Imperial Palace with Si Yuting.

After changing clothes, Qu Tong had just come downstairs when Butler Chi greeted her enthusiastically.

"Madam, good morning!"

"Uncle Chi, good morning!" Qu Tong’s smile was gentle, like a lily blooming in the spring.

"Madam, would you like Qianqian to help you with your hair?"

"No need, where’s His Highness?"

Butler Chi slapped his forehead, "His Highness went to the training room early today, it’s been an hour and 20 minutes, and he hasn’t come out yet."

Guided by Butler Chi, Qu Tong stepped into Si Yuting’s training room for the first time.

The moment Qu Tong entered, she noticed something different.

It was a gravity room like those commonly found in the military to increase the difficulty of training. The First Military Academy had one too, accessible through points. Xu An and the others often went, but she had never been.

Qu Tong used a bit of her spiritual power to walk steadily into the room.

Butler Chi watched from outside and couldn’t help but admire her in silence, truly worthy of being the madam.

Despite the heavy gravity, she walked with such ease and composure.

He had been in there before and it was a struggle to take even a few steps, leaving him huffing and puffing.

Qu Tong, unaware of Butler Chi’s inner thoughts, looked around as she made her way towards Si Yuting.

The gravity room was vast, filled with all kinds of training equipment.

In the center of the training room was an intelligent display screen recording Si Yuting’s various training tasks. In bold letters in the center, it showed that the training plan had been exceeded.

Si Yuting was doing push-ups. His pace wasn’t fast, but each movement was precise, and the equipment’s target was set for 200 repetitions.

Qu Tong squatted down in front of Si Yuting, "Your Highness, does every member of the Legion have to do these exercises?"

In her previous life, she had been specially recruited into service because of her Special Ability. She learned skills specifically related to mission execution and wasn’t required to rigorously follow many of the daily training subjects for new recruits.

For instance, with push-ups, she only needed to meet the passing line of 45 to qualify.

Even though her Physique improved various aspects of her physical capabilities, including endurance, without training, it was still only slightly better than an average person’s.

Si Yuting lowered and raised himself, maintaining a steady pace and slightly tilting his head with a breathy voice, "Do you want to enlist?"

After hearing that, Qu Tong neither nodded nor shook her head but her eyebrows knit together in thought.

While Qu Tong was pondering, the numbers on the equipment had reached the set target. Si Yuting stood up and took a towel from the side to wipe off the sweat.

"The training for the First Legion and the Royal Guard is relatively strict, followed by the other Legions which might be slightly easier. Then comes the Inland Patrol Police, Special Police..." Si Yuting patiently explained slowly.

Qu Tong nodded, seemingly understanding, stood up, and reached for Si Yuting’s hand, but he avoided her, "Dirty."

"I don’t mind." Qu Tong’s stubborn hand still hung in the air as she turned her head to look at Si Yuting.

Si Yuting helplessly stretched his hand to accept hers.

Every smile, every gesture of hers could easily touch something deep within his heart.

He really had no way of dealing with her.

Si Yuting led Qu Tong out of the training room, and Butler Chi followed behind them with eyes full of adoration.

Si Yuting went to take a bath while Qu Tong nestled in the office chair replying to Old Man Yuan’s messages.

Old Man Yuan had recently been staying in the Imperial Palace and was at loggerheads with the Alchemist Association.

The last people who attacked him were none other than those arranged by the Alchemist Association.

This information had been reported back by people dispatched by Yuting.

The Alchemist Association was about to burst from frustration as they couldn’t bribe Yuting’s soldiers, resulting in many limitations to their actions.

Now they were clamoring to withdraw their application, but the Emperor used their initial excuse to block them, and the Alchemist Association could only suffer in silence, unable to express their bitterness.

Having entered the Imperial Palace, Qu Tong was summoned by the Empress.

After not seeing Niannian for a long time, Little Tuanzi had grown a bit taller and still called her ’auntie’ with full enthusiasm.

Qu Tong, having no memory of that night, unscrupulously squeezed Niannian’s chubby cheeks and hugged her close.

Seeing the aunt and nephew so affectionate, both the Crown Princess Consort and the Empress were very pleased.

The Empress had consulted Qu Tong’s opinion in advance and planned to hold the celebration banquet at Stia Manor.

The group arrived at Stia Manor together, and Butler Chi, with a beaming smile, introduced it to Qu Tong, "Madam, let me show you around your estate."

Being the one responsible for managing Si Yuting’s assets, Butler Chi naturally knew that many properties under His Highness’s name had been transferred to Madam’s name.

In Butler Chi’s mind, managing for Madam was the same as managing for His Highness.

At a glance, Stia Manor was astonishingly vast, with all kinds of people busy setting up the banquet venue.

The Empress asked Qu Tong to follow Butler Chi to get familiar with the venue while she went with the Crown Princess Consort to supervise the preparations for the banquet.

Butler Chi straightened the black bow tie at his collar, cleared his throat softly, bowed, and extended a hand, "Madam, this way, please."

Qu Tong walked ahead, following Butler Chi’s gesture.

Butler Chi, with an appropriate smile behind her, said, "Madam, Stia Manor is second only to the Imperial Palace in size on Capital Star with a main area covering 679 acres, including 168 guest rooms, 88 bedrooms, each equipped with a study, bathroom, dressing room, practice room, and a backyard with 15 training grounds and 25 entertainment venues. It took the largest interstellar construction team 5 years to build!"

So many rooms!

Can Si Yuting even sleep through it all?

But from now on, it’s hers.

Hehehehehe...

Butler Chi pointed at the bustling people and machinery, "There are about 300 maids and guards in the manor, some of them are retired soldiers from the First Legion, 120 robots, and the rest are helpers called from the Imperial Palace and enterprises under His Highness’s name."

"Behind the manor, there is also a vast forest of nearly ten thousand acres and 6,000 acres of fertile black soil. Additionally, a 100 square kilometer man-made lake was constructed, into which the waters from the largest freshwater lake of Capital Star were diverted. All these are managed by specialists, and it will be very convenient for Madam to grow energy plants here in the future."

One acre is approximately 666 square meters, meaning ten thousand acres is about 6.66 million square meters.

That’s equivalent to the size of 1,000 football fields!

Just walking from east to west would take at least 2 hours, and that’s for someone in good shape.

The famous tourist site West Lake from her previous life had a surface area of only 6.38 square kilometers, so this was like having nearly a dozen West Lakes enclosed in her own backyard.

Just the monthly maintenance costs could probably support her for a lifetime.

Even having been wealthy in both her past and present lives, Qu Tong’s heart skipped a beat, and she involuntarily took a sharp breath.

Holy crap!

Just one estate is this extravagantly inhumane!

With her owning hundreds of other assets, her life had truly reached its pinnacle.
