Chapter 375: Husband, I Can Do It!

Negotiations are always about asking for a high price up front and paying later on the spot; Xu Zengyi's proposal is something Chen Wuji has no objection to.

He then picked up his brush, wrote a letter, handed it to the clan troops, and ordered them to send it back overnight.

After the person left, Xu Zengyi suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Chen Wuji, "But did I interrupt the commandant's good business?"

"Indeed not." Chen Wuji laughed.

We'll continue later; it's still early before dawn, we have plenty of time.

Xu Zengyi smiled silently, "Actually, the commandant needn't worry about Lao Yang's opinion; this man has always been like this, stubborn, sticking to his guns. His opinion is correct, but there's no need to be so strict."

"Still, we should be careful; even if I act secretly, it doesn't matter." Chen Wuji said casually.

Old Xu is overthinking for him.

Bringing female relatives into the army is indeed inappropriate, it's a taboo.

"Let's not talk about that; the Li and Xue families have both sent people, but the Gu family has shown no movement at all—there seems to be something else going on." Chen Wuji shifted the topic.

Compared to his secret tryst, he now cares more about this matter.

Xu Zengyi stood up, trimmed the wick of the oil lamp to make the light brighter, and said, "Now the head of the Gu family is ruthless and vicious. The Li and Xue families care about their clansmen and relatives, but the Gu family may not."

Chen Wuji rubbed his chin and said, "I've already thrown out harsh words; if I don't do something, I might easily be looked down upon. If we settle the negotiation with the Li and Xue families and the Gu family still does nothing, then we might as well wipe out those Gu people altogether."

"What I say must be backed by real action."

Xu Zengyi nodded, "Such a family that has accumulated every evil deserves exactly that."

"I thought the master would advise me a couple of sentences." Chen Wuji laughed.

Xu Zengyi shook the clothes draped over his body, "Commandant, I am originally a rebel, also a vicious person. I remember that the court once spread everywhere that we eat people; because I have been chronically ill and look especially ferocious, I became the most ferocious man-eater among rebels, and rumors say I like to eat heart meat."

"Although it's been many years, in those places my name should still be able to stop children from crying at night, making countless people feel fear."

Chen Wuji chuckled, "It's a pity the master's fame hasn't reached Yunan; if the master were as famous there, this battle would be much easier."

Xu Zengyi shook his head, "This isn't a good thing; if the people fear the commandant because of me, governing this place will become difficult. The commandant has important matters, I won't disturb you further—I'll go to sleep first."

"Good. As long as the people see actual benefits, rumors are just temporary." Chen Wuji followed Xu Zengyi out of the courtyard, then openly entered the neighboring courtyard where Qin Zhanhong and Xiao Yuji lived.

Pushing open the door, the two women on the kang both lifted their heads to look.

"You…… what are you doing?" Chen Wuji stared, surprised, and asked.

Qin Zhanhong and Xiao Yuji's appearance at this moment really can't be called elegant.

But, it's quite exciting!

Xiao Yuji let out a startled cry, grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around her smooth figure, pulling her whole head under the blanket.

Qin Zhanhong, however, was completely at ease; she said, "I compared myself with the little roasted chicken, studied why we two look different—strangely, in this little place, the difference is actually huge."

"I had roughly looked at San Niang, You Wei, and the red beans before; they seemed not too different, but I didn't dare to look closely. Just now I examined carefully, and the difference is indeed great."

Chen Wuji chuckled; she really seems a bit bored.

"You are born from your mother, she is born from her mother, so of course they're different. But where exactly are they different? Tell me." Chen Wuji asked deliberately.

He now understands that he and Xiao Yuji need to proceed with this matter.

Seeing Xiao Yuji's state, she seems ready as well, so let's strike while the iron is hot.

"Just……" Qin Zhanhong was about to speak when she suddenly reached out a hand and covered her mouth.

Qin Zhanhong forcefully pushed away Xiao Yuji's hand, "Okay, okay, don't say it; you'll see for yourself later."

"No way." A weak, muffled voice came from inside the blanket.

Qin Zhanhong's mouth corner hid a smile, her eyes glanced askance, then she suddenly lunged forward, shoved Xiao Yuji onto the kang, violently lifted the blanket, and loudly called to Chen Wuji, "Husband, look!"

Chen Wuji: ……

"Quite a sight."

Xiao Yuji was like a fish just landed on shore, flopping wildly.

But her little strength was nothing before Qin Zhanhong; she was held down tightly.

"Stop struggling; I know you also have intentions, what's the point of fussing over useless things? Come openly, it would be much better." Qin Zhanhong said.

"Who says I have…… I don't." Xiao Yuji shouted anxiously.

"But you've already been seen in full by your husband, and besides, do you think I'm blind? If you weren't willing, you wouldn't be like this now; hurry up, don't force me to use harsh methods on you."

Xiao Yuji stopped struggling, carefully pulled her head out from under the blanket, biting her lip, "I heard people say…… this kind of thing is very painful."

"Do you look like I was in pain before?" Qin Zhanhong asked angrily.

At the same time, she silently added in her heart, except for the very first time.

Xiao Yuji believed Qin Zhanhong's words, weakly nodded, shyly looked at Chen Wuji, "Then…… then…… okay, anyway it's already like this."

Since it's already like this, she must accept it even if she doesn't want to.

Chen Wuji climbed onto the kang, the smile at the corner of his mouth impossible to control.

In this world, probably no one dislikes having a wife or concubine like a step trainer.

……

Two ke later.

"Qin slut, you trapped me…… ah, wuu wuu wuu, save me!"

Xiao Yuji shouted in pain, the sound of giving birth.

Qin Zhanhong laughed like a vicious villain, "What are you shouting for? It's not that exaggerated."

"Qin slut, I'll bite you to death!" Xiao Yuji shouted fiercely.

The two women put on a great show, leaving Chen Wuji unsure what to do.

Forget it, let's rest a bit first.

After the commotion, Xiao Yuji poutingly said to Chen Wuji, "Commandant, ah no, should I change my title now? Young Master Chen, uh…… forget it, husband, come on."

"Jianghu youths don't care about trivialities, husband, I can do it!"

Chen Wuji couldn't help but laugh.

She had indeed already prepared.
