460: She would leave you and this palace.

She would leave you and this palace.

Arguments can never be new between couples. The kitchen was bound to make noise when one is working inside. It is also the same in relationships. To make them work, one should make efforts to know the thoughts of one another.2

And every day there didn't need to only be paths of roses on which one has to take a walk. Stony pavements could also come in the way. After all, even each day has its own slots of time for day and night.

The same was with this aged, matured couple. This was not the first time where their thoughts were differentiating on something. There have been many in the past too and many coming in the future too. The only thing that would never come to change between them would be their love. Because at the end of the day, they were sure that they would be again back together.

Just when the Queen gave her back to the King, a voice from the door interrupted the couple's argumentative trance, "Did I miss some great interesting show?"

Both Shin Tinming and Chen Rui instantly turned to look at the entrance. Their lips curling up to give an affable smile.

"Aye, Yuchun, it's so good to see you back. You know, how much I was missing you. I already had plans for the day and was missing a companion. Since you have come here, I have got one". The Queen said as she quickly took her steps to receive her friend from the door.

Sharing a warm hug with each other, the two women came in. Yun Yuchun looked at the man. No doubt, standing there he was looking like a pitiful puppy, whose master had kicked him out of the house as some punishment.

"You both did not reply to me. Did I miss a great show here?" She asked, alternating her eyes between the couple.

Shin Tinming did not say a word. At her question, he just continued looking at his wife asking for her pity. But Chen Rui did not feel any mood to spare a look at him.

"What could there be, Yuchun? My husband has got a new upgrade installed in her system character. That's called dictatorship. With that new character of his, he was just trying to let me know which person I should think to be right, whom to consider wrong and whom to favour and whom to not. Don't you feel a 'wow' factor in his high up-gradation character?"

Chen Rui said sarcastically, pulling her lips into a big smile. Hearing her words, the other woman could only pitifully watch at the man. This time, her friend was just doomed to the worst.

"I don't know if you could feel it or not, Yuchun. But believe me, I am overwhelmed with his new high-end enrichment", The wife added more, clearly letting the man know her thoughts of an angry heart.

This would not have been the scenario if it has been someone else in place of an aged long friend. Because the Queen was not this open to everyone.

Yun Yuchun looked between the couple for a second, before saying, "Okay fine I understood. Still, after so many years of living together, you guys fight the way you used to do, back in the days. But at least let me know the whole story to understand who is actually at fault between the two".

"Of course, he is at fault!"

"Of course, I am at fault!"

Both of the people said at the same time and then turned to look at each other. At the corner, the other woman could only laugh all knowingly.

Needless to say, she has already seen this coming. It has always been this way from the first day itself. Shin Tinming accepting the defeat even without giving any statement. He has spoilt his wife in a way that was doomed to bring such tantrums in his life for the rest of his eternity. Not like he ever gave any complaints about that.

Chen Rui only pouted at her husband while the man just shrugged off his shoulders in nonchalance.

"See, the faulter at the situation is all clear. So why do we have to bother? Now, come on, let me hear it all. It is still early in the afternoon, and you people have already got into an argument. Are you a kid?" Lady Yun said as she demanded for the highlights, knowing that even without asking she would be getting to hear that.

The Queen did not restrict herself. Being all cool and transparent to her friend, she said it all. Starting from her liking for her daughter – in – law to the disliking of her husband. Once said all, she turned to look at her. Holding her hands in between hers, she asked all expectantly, "What do you think Yuchun? Isn't that girl already great?"

Instead of replying, the woman looked at the man suspiciously. Giving quite a known stare to the man, finally, she said, "Indeed, my son's choice can never be wrong. The girl has done things so selflessly. Tinming, it's your fault to take the girl wrong. But Rui, I feel there must be some reason behind his decision too. Why don't you ask him?"

"Reason? But he has not even met that girl ever?" Chen Rui said looking doubtfully at the man.

"I can't believe that, Rui. There definitely must be some reason that he must not be sharing with you. Maybe he is fearing to reveal it to you", the woman added again, giving a mysterious smirk full of knowledge to the man.

Shin Tinming stiffened at such words of the woman. His face paled slightly when felt his beloved wife's eyes staring at him, waiting to hear the story that he was trying to hide in.

"Yuchun, what absurd you are talking about? Why would I dislike the girl? I am just asking Rui to not get so favourable to someone in just one meeting", the man said, trying his best to not lie in any of his words.

But all his effort went to get dumped in waste when he heard the woman saying. "Don't lie around, Tinming! Because I know the reason you are hiding behind. Why don't you share it with Rui and see what thoughts she has for it? There is nothing to fear. At the worst, the only thing that could happen will be her leaving you and this palace".
