39 Where is my wife?
When Li Ming Yue arrived at the Imperial City, they went straight to the palace and presented the criminals to the Magistrate of the Palace court. After that they were put to cruel torture for the investigation and they were imprisoned...if they are found guilty, they will be beheaded and their heads will be hanged at the capital's gate. It will serve as a reminder to the citizens that if they will commit heinous crime, they will be served capital punishment.
Li Ming Yue passed by the study chamber of the emperor to report to him what has happened with their mission. The emperor is glad about the outcome of the endeavors of the General and his men. He has awarded him a reward to be shared among those men who are under him.
When he was about to leave the palace, he came a crossed with his father. Li Xian Xi cannot believe that his son was able to accomplished the job in such a short period of time. Li Ming Yue bowed his head as a sign of respect to his father.
"How was your battle against those thugs? You were really fast in accomplishing your job, I never expected it that in that short amount of time you were able to return, I am happy but I hope everything is alright with you, son".
"Father, I am always precise and strict with my rules...if I am going to work, I work with my brains and my heart. That is why I was able to accomplished the work earlier than expected" Li Ming Yue answered.
But Li Xian Xi is not really convinced," oh, is that so? I thought you can't wait to go back to your wife. You seem like a 16-year-old boy who is head over heels in love with your wife" Li Xian Xi smiling while teasing his son. But he is happy to be able to talk with his son, who is cold and with a stiff expression always, in that manner is something new to him but he likes the feeling.
Li Ming Yue went straight to his parent's house. Upon arriving he saw his mother, "Where is my wife, mother"?
Jiang Xiao was surprised upon seeing her son, but asking about his wife first, she kind of feels sad. "You haven't even asked me how I have been, but instead you asked first, where is your wife? How dare you!?" Jiang Xiao yelled at her son.
"Mother, obviously, I know you've been doing well. I can see that. But my wife is nowhere that I can see, that is why I asked for her. You don't have to be angry at that, mother. I am sorry. I was just anxious to see my wife." Li Ming Yue explained.
"Well, early in the morning her sister, Yeung Fang, picked her up and your wife said she is just going to accompany her sister since she seems so sad. So, I said she can go. I didn't know that you will be arriving today, noh?"
