Chapter 481

Chen Wuji, who considered himself well-versed in matters between men and women, opened his eyes today.

He actually saw rope art in this era.

More astonishingly, the rope knots tied by Qin Zan Hong were even more exquisite than what he had seen in his previous life.

It was truly the work of a master.

"Lao Qin, I seriously suspect that during this time you weren't watching your few disciples, but were doing something else; honestly tell me, where did you learn these things?"

In the bedroom, Chen Wuji looked at the two beautiful zongzi, and for a moment his mind went blank.

The technique was so good, so impactful, it instantly stimulated him to the point of being unable to get enough.

But the source of this rope art also made him seriously suspicious.

Where could one learn these skills?

He didn't think Qin Zan Hong's character would give him a green hat, but this matter truly gave him a big stimulation; not knowing its origin, he inevitably thought of other places.

"For example, Li Ping'er, after meeting Official Ximen, her skills improved by leaps and bounds, even learning the difficult act of eating grape peach."

"Qin Zan Hong's face was charming and rosy, almost dripping with water, 'Husband, although I'm a bit wanton, I only wanton for you; I couldn't care less about others, don't suspect me of cheating.'"

"I found it not easy to learn these things; when I had nothing to do, I would squat on the brothel's roof; this is all from watching those places, and there are many other interesting things as well."

Chen Wuji: ……

At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

Squatting at the corner of the brothel wall, this is indeed something Qin Zan Hong could do.

"I'm not doubting you, I'm just shocked at how you learned these things; it's too extraordinary." Chen Wuji said sincerely.

Xiao Yuji drooped her eyelids, looking displeased, and said: "How could it just be extraordinary? It's simply unimaginable; this... this kind of Thorn-bearing Apology, could anyone think of that? I just want to ask, what's fun about treating a person like that? I don't want it, I resist!"

"Resist? At this moment you can't escape; once your husband hangs you up, you'll know what's fun!" Qin Zan Hong said with a wicked smile, "Once you're on my and my husband's pirate ship, you still want to get off? Dream on!"

Xiao Yuji sighed to the heavens, "That day, I shouldn't have half-heartedly given myself away."

"Regret now? Too late!" Qin Zan Hong exclaimed excitedly, "Husband, hurry, hang her up, let me go first; still dare to regret, I'll rebel against her."

Chen Wuji couldn't hold back his laughter.

He really shouldn't, and there's no need to doubt this formidable woman.

Amidst his strained efforts to suppress his cries, Xiao Yuji climbed onto the beam.

"Little roasted chicken, do you know where it's fun now?" Qin Zan Hong wickedly smiled, taking out the prepared willow twigs, "Still regret?"

"Ah... ah, don't, quickly let me come down, this isn't okay..."

……

Chen Wuji lay reclined on the bed, feeling refreshed, and poured himself a cup of tea.

To his left was the thoroughly satisfied Qin Zan Hong, to his right the soft-as-mud Xiao Yuji.

He lightly sipped the warm tea; as the fragrance entered his throat, just two words—refreshing.

"Husband, I seem to have forgotten something important." Qin Zan Hong leaned against Chen Wuji's shoulder and murmured.

Chen Wuji's heart jolted upon hearing it, "What matter?"

"Have we not yet replied to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"I thought it was something else; this matter isn't urgent, I haven't forgotten." Chen Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, glad it wasn't really a big deal.

This woman is sometimes quite unreliable, often doing strange odd things, yet she forgets the important matters.

Chen Wuji slowly sipped his tea and casually said, "The Emperor didn't specify when to reply; we can decide this time ourselves."

"There's time!" Qin Zan Hong said.

"The Imperial City Department has regulations: for remote areas like ours, a reply is generally due on the fifteenth day. If there's no reply, it will be assumed something happened, and the Imperial City Department will send people to investigate."

"Although the situation in the Lingnan Six Commanderies is complex and the Imperial City Department usually doesn't send people, if they really did come, our affairs might be exposed."

Chen Wuji's heart stirred, "Has the Imperial City Department already had someone lurking in Hezhou?"

"I don't know, no one has contacted me." Qin Zan Hong shook his head, "Husband, do you have any reaction?"

"No reaction, just this feeling." Chen Wuji said.

"For now we won't pay attention to it; even if they really exist, as long as they stay hidden, many things still have room to turn around. Coincidentally, I also plan to use this opportunity to test His Majesty the Emperor's intentions."

"Husband, you just said... test His Majesty the Emperor?" Qin Zan Hong's heart jolted.

"You write yours, I'll submit a folded document to His Majesty the Emperor." Chen Wuji said.

"In that secret letter, the Emperor explicitly stated his intention for me to see; I'll naturally submit a folded document to test his intention, which is perfectly fine. Perhaps he already had this intention, wanting to see my attitude."

Although he actually still hasn't figured it out, why the Emperor would focus his attention on such a small figure as him.

The Lingnan Six Commanderies are now teeming with tyrants; he truly isn't a major force among them.

Qin Zan Hong pondered solemnly for a while, then said: "Seems, indeed it can also be done."

"Husband, I have a suggestion." Xiao Yuji suddenly said.

"What the husband needs now is a respectable and legitimate name, which only the Emperor can grant; when the husband tests, he must not lose the duty of a subject."

Chen Wuji nodded, "I understand; let's go, take this opportunity to first write the folded document."

He stretched his arms, took advantage of the moment with two quick gains, then got off the bed.

Xiao Yuji's face flushed scarlet, she immediately stood up to help Chen Wuji change clothes.

Even though it's been a while since it was over, her body still bears the rope marks.

The naturally pale-skinned girl seems to find these things hard to take.

After Qin Zhanhong left the room, he first ordered Yan Qiushui and Shen Lu to prepare bathwater, then he went into the study.

"How do you write this?" Behind the desk, Chen Wuji bit the pen shaft, looking vexed.

He had never written a folded document; he didn't even know how to begin it.

Qin Zhanhong puffed a laugh, shaking like a flower branch, "I, your subject Chen Wuji, humbly address His Majesty the Emperor, trembling with fear, bowing my head, then afterwards just continue with what I want to say."

Chen Wuji's face like constipation, "Then must we add 'with utmost reverence and fear, bowing head repeatedly'?"

"One can also write: 'Subject Chen Wuji, risking death, bows again and presents this memorial.'"

Chen Wuji: ……

"Can I just write 'I, subject Chen Wuji, respectfully present to His Majesty the Emperor' or something like that?"
