Chapter 173: Don't even try to join this family!

Send someone to Dun Cheng?

Person?

Isn't that proper?

Du Shanü was completely bewildered, so she simply asked:

"What person?"

Could it be that they know she's lacking help and thus sent talent to pledge loyalty?

Could that old man Ruansizong really be so perceptive?

Du Shanü just couldn't quite believe it!

Sure enough, the next moment, Chinu flung the letter into her embrace and sneered:

"Look for yourself!"

"What's going on! Exactly what's going on!"

"How come her good slave slave doesn't even call her Wife Master anymore!"

Du Shanü took the letter with a blank expression, seeing that the paper was first smeared with a big blot of ink, and only at the very bottom was a single extremely brief sentence.

Though the wording was brief, the information it conveyed was quite extraordinary—

【Ruansizong's grandson, Ruan Jintian, has come to Dun Cheng.

This person is staying at the Xian Xie, not seeking the Young Emperor, but seeking the female host, and even questioning the servants about how many attendants surround the female host...... apparently intending to share her bed.

Du Shanü was dumbfounded.

Du Shanü was truly dumbfounded.

The entrance to the alley was still bustling with carriages and horses, but this time, all the noise vanished like smoke with the appearance of those two sentences.

Du Shanü pinched the letter, pondered for a few breaths, then asked:

"Is this person sick?"

"Is Ruansizong also sick?"

Has Ruansizong forgotten that he already lost a grandson to Chinu?

Now sending another grandson—isn't that like throwing a sheep into a tiger's mouth, with no return?

He......

No, no, that's not right.

Du Shanü rubbed her forehead, slowly regaining her senses:

"...... These two actually intend to follow the example of the Tian clan replacing Qi."

Du Shanü had previously mentioned to Chinu the allusion of the Tian clan replacing Qi, saying that a family, after generations of effort, became kin by marriage to the Qi royal family, then let their children mix part of the bloodline, and immediately usurped the throne.

Now Du Shanü is in decline, and there's little she can scheme for herself......

But bloodline happens to be one of them.

After all, the false identity she gave herself is that she is the bloodline of the Deposed Crown Prince Huang.

And in Ruansizong's eyes, her legitimate husband is still the Young Emperor of Dayin!

She originally thought Ruansizong had submitted, but instead, seeing her marry Yu Baobao, his thoughts became lively again!

Ruansizong perhaps cannot see clearly who truly runs the household—whether it's Yu Baobao, her, or even the Dual Sages.

But as long as they casually confuse one, in the future, no matter how much estate, won't it all become the Ruans'?

Du Shanü's head faintly ached:

"Really, it's uncanny."

"Then why does he only send someone to me, not to Yu Baobao?"

Chinu let out a cold laugh:

"Because Yu Baobao can't."

Du Shanü couldn't hold back and poked Chinu with her elbow.

Her intention was to remind Chinu to speak cautiously, but Chinu, upon seeing the letter, became like a firecracker lit with anger, fuming greatly.

Just a light poke, and Chinu's volume rose:

"I'm not lying again!"

"Do you know how many people in the past have sent people to his side?"

Men of good family who remain unmarried after reaching adulthood are extremely few.

But the Young Emperor has remained unmarried for twenty-five years.

But just because he's unmarried, does that mean no one has sent anyone?

Many!

Extremely many!

Even ten years ago, while he was still in the Eastern Palace, there was a constant stream of people trying every means to insert men and women inside, to gain a bloodline, so they could rise to prominence in the future.

But over all these years, has the Young Emperor ever touched one?

He only knows how to sleep!

Not even sleeping with someone!

But rather, literally, sleeping with his head covered!

Even such a fine Wife Master...... he only knows to leave the pillow beside him empty!

If this isn't wasting heavenly bounty, what is!

Is it that others are unwilling to send?

Clearly it's Yu Baobao he......

Chinu was furious, his voice not dropping even after two sentences, and not far away quite a few people turned to look at him; Du Shanü was extremely embarrassed, hurriedly covering Chinu's mouth:

"Nothing like that...... Actually it's fine......"

"But this thing, actually it still tests talent somewhat......"

"Chinu finally flew into a rage, turned and was about to leave:"

"Then you go with him! Don't come looking for me from now on!"

"Du Shanü felt a splitting headache, while Chen Er in front of her was at a loss, extremely embarrassed."

"However, Chen Er, recalling the commotion from earlier when he'd eavesdropped on the two, also came to some understanding."

"Thus, at Du Shanü's signal, he slipped away in a puff of smoke, and before running off he didn't forget to say he'd come again tomorrow as usual, clearly very dutiful."

"Du Shanü, helpless, dragged the red-eyed Chinu half-pulling, half-tugging into the narrow alley; Chinu immediately wrapped his arms around his Wife Master's waist, holding her tightly."

"Du Shanü gently stroked Chinu's back, calling him 'little ancestor' several times before sighing:"

"\"What exactly do you want? \""

"Chinu remained silent for a few breaths, then after a long while snorted:"

"\"I, I... I just want others to know about us two...... I want to, in front of him, in front of everyone, be fierce with you...... \""

"The last few words weren't spoken; Du Shanü pushed him away and gave his face a slap, neither light nor heavy:"

"\"Speak properly. \""

"A red mark appeared on Chinu's face, yet he lowered his eyes and said nothing more."

"Du Shanü felt a twinge of pity again, and pulled him into her embrace:"

"\"How can such things be said so casually? \""

"\"Besides, wouldn't it be embarrassing if people saw? \""

"Chinu neither affirmed nor denied, giving no reply."

"Du Shanü repeated it several times, but still got no response."

"She had long known her temper had been worn down by Chinu, yet even after confirming it again, there was still nothing she could do."

"She stroked Chinu's back again, then said:"

"\"I won't touch the Ruan Family's grandson...... all right? \""

"\"What Gold Field, Silver Field, Jade Field...... \""

"\"Where could there be anyone better than her Chinu? \""

"Moreover, the Ruan Clan obviously had ulterior motives at a glance; if one really got involved, the future would be a sticky plaster that couldn't be shaken off."

"Chinu's hostile aura dissipated a little, yet he tightened his grip a bit more, as if he wished to merge with the person in his arms."

"Du Shanü felt a little short of breath, but still let him vent his anger."

"Chinu held her for a while, then finally calmed down, murmuring:"

"\"If it really won't work, I'll have Afang take a concubine for you—don't go looking for others. \""

"He is jealous, and he knows it himself."

"But most of the time, he only envies those whose virtue doesn't match their position."

"If the Wife Master constantly seeks novelty, it's best to find someone he knows well—Afang treats him well, puts him first; even if she later spends a few nights each month elsewhere, he wouldn't mind."

"But if it were someone else, he would truly......"

"Chinu is quite serious."

"But precisely because of this seriousness, Du Shanü was genuinely startled."

"Du Shanü: \"(? `Д′)!! \""

"Du Shanü: \"Let's not trouble Afang anymore...... Afang has already worked herself to death for us, and if you go back and tell him he still has to sleep with me...... \""

"Not to mention she might get beaten; I'm afraid Chinu might never be able to return to how he was before."

"Besides, besides, she actually isn't that lustful a person."

"Chinu is very good, very fragrant......"

"Also, very satisfied."

"She is already quite content, unable to spare more attention to coax others."

"Chinu didn't know if he'd understood, and only after a long while did he say:"

"\"Then let the Wife Master let A Nu hold for a while; we'll wait until dark and still go to that alley's entrance to find the Celestial Master...... \""

"Du Shanü replied softly, but her mind was on another matter——"

"\"The part of that note that was hastily scribbled out just now...... \""

"\"If I'm not mistaken, Afang seems to have written, asking her to return Chinu??? \""

"Nonsense!"

"Chinu has long been hers; she certainly won't give him back! She certainly won't!!!"

"?? Here we come, here we come||ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノミ|ЮAlthough it's a bit late, but it's only an hour oh! Still need to praise!"
