After all, it’s a reward from the palace, I can’t refuse it, and I haven’t even let them inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhining gently pushed against Chen Mo: \"What does it have to do with me whether you let them inside or not, that’s the Empress’s business to worry about. You... let go of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the main entrance, Chen Mo naturally wouldn’t act recklessly. After a small punishment, he said: \"Instead of spending time on this, why not focus more on cultivation and become a Middle-Grade Martial Artist sooner...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Chen Mo let Xia Zhining down and lightly patted her thigh: \"Come to your sister’s room tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t lecture me.\" Xia Zhining quickly tidied up her clothes, then added: \"Wishful thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo smiled without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Xia Zhiqing’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Mo entered and saw the pair of black and white twins, he couldn’t help but curl up his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women wore long black and white dresses, resembling two stunning flowers that complemented each other beautifully. Their current attire was just as when Chen Mo first saw them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women had put on makeup beforehand without giving any clues, making it difficult for Chen Mo to tell who was who at a glance, as their appearances were indistinguishable, and their mannerisms almost identical under the cover of makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo relied on their clothes to identify people, and he wrapped his arms around the woman in white, speaking in that moment: \"Zhiqing, where are Youyou and Nu’er?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he truly embraced her, he realized that the woman in white was Zhi Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe...\" Xia Zhiqing, dressed in black and sitting by the bed, lightly covered her mouth and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhi Ning pushed Chen Mo away and said: \"Sis, didn’t I tell you? As long as I wear your clothes and stay silent, he won’t recognize me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo touched the back of his head and said: \"What game are you two playing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nu’er and Youyou, I’ve entrusted them to Ms. An’niang.\" Xia Zhiqing rose to answer Chen Mo’s previous question, then continued: \"Just now, Zhi Ning came to me, asking to cooperate a bit and play a recognition game with you, husband. I said that husband can recognize us at a glance, but Zhi Ning said you couldn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, the game is over, I’m leaving now.\" Xia Zhining stepped past Chen Mo’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo grabbed her soft palm and pulled her into his embrace again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... let go of me...\" Xia Zhining started a gentle struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your game has ended, but mine has only just begun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo directly lifted Xia Zhining up, pressing her back against the wall of the room, her feet leaving the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You rascal, trying to bully me again...\" Xia Zhining spat lightly, her brows and eyes full of embarrassment and annoyance, yet her arms wrapped around Chen Mo’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo didn’t call her out but instead lowered his head to kiss her sweet lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhining’s previously aloof eyes were now moist, her proud figure feeling somewhat hot like fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, asking Xia Zhiqing to cooperate in playing games was merely an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she had previously haughtily said Chen Mo was being wishful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew too well that Chen Mo wouldn’t let her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\" Xia Zhining coldly snorted in arrogance, yet her body did not resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo chuckled, tenderly cherished the beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo whispered into the beauty’s ear, almost biting it as he said: \"Seems you’ve really missed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With voice carrying a hint of arrogance and softness, Xia Zhining replied: \"Stop being vain; who would miss you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo lowered his head, giving a gentle peck on her sweet lips: \"I wish your mouth would be as honest as your body someday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhining didn’t speak, resting her head on Chen Mo’s shoulder, her delicate body trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting there, Xia Zhiqing watched until her face turned red and cursed inwardly: \"These two don’t even find a place to fool around, never afraid of getting tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up, walked to the table to pour a cup of tea, then came to Chen Mo, very gently offering it to him, saying: \"The Inspector’s people mentioned that Prince Huai, King Chong, King Anping, and other vassal kings are openly denouncing Lu Sheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inspector was something Chen Mo had Xia Zhiqing establish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re all imperial family members. If they don’t openly denounce, it’s signaling agreement to Lu Sheng’s legality.\" After taking a sip of tea, Chen Mo took another and passed it to Xia Zhining to soothe her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good this way. On the surface, Lu Sheng and I are in the same camp.\" Chen Mo happily diverted attention and chatted with Zhiqing, which helped build strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhiqing nodded and then said: \"Though husband accepted the female musicians he sent, it was a passive acceptance. I think if you want Lu Sheng to feel your willingness to maintain a friendly relationship, it’s best to actively request something from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo paused thoughtfully for a moment, considering the validity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what to request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t give money, land, nor would Lu Sheng, as it would make him feel excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to ask for something trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo thought for a bit and said: \"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Xia Zhiqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps ask the palace to grant you a Lady of Imperial Decree title.\" Chen Mo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of title is merely a word for Lu Sheng, requiring him to give nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Mo’s women, though, it’s an honor, elevating status considerably, allowing participation in banquets or ceremonies hosted by the Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Formally, only Chen Mo’s official wife can be enshrined as Lady of Imperial Decree; concubines don’t have the qualification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking Xia Zhiqing for the title from Lu Sheng genuinely reflects Chen Mo’s requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, both Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo didn’t speak further, focusing on sprinting the last stretch of the race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front-open white dress unveiled a generous view of snow-white, rising and falling under the candlelight’s glow, seemingly reflecting light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Grateful for everyone’s rewards and monthly pass, thank you very much!\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-05T18:56:34.815Z",1,"novelbin.me","7aba9af1d7531da58068c948eca4aa319449e94f13d47ef43a55d6cc8097d011","cultivation-begins-with-caring-for-sister-in-law-chapter-444","cultivation-begins-with-caring-for-sister-in-law-chapter-442",728,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-begins-with-caring-for-sister-in-law-cover.jpg"]
