Chapter 114: Yan Er

"No delay, no delay, or you could let me rest a bit first, that's fine too," Chen Wuji grinned wickedly, and began to be insincere again.

"Don't move around," Huo Sanniang cooed scoldingly, and held down Chen Wuji's meddling hand.

"Madam, I feel like I've been a monk for many days now; taking a little advantage should be okay, right?" Chen Wuji said with a pout.

"In broad daylight, stop fooling around; wait until night, night, okay?" Huo Sanniang said, her face reddening.

Chen Wuji was instantly delighted, "Madam, you said it, I really took it seriously."

"Seriously, why are you flattering me!" Huo Sanniang, her face red, said shyly annoyed, "Lie down quickly, I'll change your medicine. You've been sloppy every day, and I don't even know where that thing stands."

Chen Wuji seriously suspected that the Madam was somewhat indifferent in that regard.

Being still young, one would normally be more enthusiastic about such matters.

Her current condition is not good news.

Because of this, Chen Wuji felt a bit melancholy while eating dinner.

Let's see, if Huo Sanniang remains in this state, he might have to consult Old Master Zhang, to see if there is any prescription that can remedy it.

If matters in the bedroom cannot be communicated happily, it will severely affect the couple's relationship.

"Wuji, Hongdou told me today that she wants to raise some rabbits and chickens and ducks," Huo Sanniang suddenly said, "Do you think this is feasible?"

"Sure, what's the problem? Tomorrow I'll buy a few chicks and bring them back," Chen Wuji said.

"However, I haven't seen anyone selling rabbits at East Market, I'll look for them tomorrow."

Xue Hongdou lowered their head, sluggishly poked at the food, and gave a gentle nod.

Chen Wuji always thought he didn't look very fierce, yet Xue Hongdou seemed quite afraid of him.

She chatted a lot daily with Huo Sanniang and Shen Youwei, but in front of Chen Wuji she became wooden, even avoiding eye contact, daring not to look at Chen Wuji.

In these few days, the two of them have said no more than ten sentences.

After dinner, Huo Sanniang and Shen Youwei finally returned to the main house.

Seeing the freshly moved blankets, Chen Wuji's mouth twitched as if about to blossom.

Just as Chen Wuji's emotions surged, Huo Sanniang and Shen Youwei entered hand in hand.

The two seemed to have just washed up; the strands at their temples were damp, glistening with sparkling droplets.

"Now you're satisfied, right?" Huo Sanniang said, a smile stifled at the corner of her mouth, muttering irritably.

Chen Wuji instantly laughed like a fool, "Satisfied, very satisfied."

"Sleep quickly!" Huo Sanniang blew out the candle and dove into the quilt.

The room instantly grew dark, with only a faint, hazy moonlight filtering in from the window.

In this primitive era, the moonlight truly had a frosty texture.

Shen Youwei crept up to Chen Wuji's ear and whispered, "Husband, sister washed herself very carefully tonight, even rinsing repeatedly several times."

"What about my little madam then?" Chen Wuji retorted with a mischievous grin.

"I'm the same, you smell, there's not much scent, right?" Shen Youwei let out a short breath.

"Very fresh!" Chen Wuji nodded, affirming with a smile.

While the two were talking on the floor, on the kang, Huo Sanniang suddenly said, "Aren't you resting yet? What are you muttering about down there?"

Hearing this, Chen Wuji let out a cheeky laugh, gave Huo Sanniang a mischievous glance, and beckoned Shen Youwei onto the kang.
