Chapter 50: Sleep or Not?

"Stop being a damn nitpicker!" Chen Luozi scolded.

Chen Bushi shook his head wordlessly, "If you don't know how to use allusions, then don't damn use them, and still nitpick."

"Wuji, hold onto the money, wait for my word."

Chen Wuji saw this and took the money bag down; Chen Luozi's words might be more reasonable.

He sent Chen Bushi and the other out the door, Chen Wuji shut the courtyard gate and went inside.

In the room lit by candles that made it several times brighter, Huo Sanniang and Shen Youwei had already arranged the bedding for him.

Brand‑new bedding, just looking at it feels comfortable.

From now on he finally doesn't have to scramble on the bare mat anymore.

That thing's hardness is touching, and occasionally a bamboo skewer inside would prick you.

Chen Wuji smiled, embraced Huo Sanniang's slender waist from behind, "Wife, it's time to sleep."

"You Wei is still here, don't cause trouble…" Huo Sanniang blushed, gave a slight gentle struggle.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Shen Youwei quickly sprang up, "You all sleep, I, I'm going to sleep too."

"Let's sleep together; sleeping alone is boring, we can chat at night," Chen Wuji said.

He was a bit impatient to achieve the life goal of holding one on the left and embracing one on the right.

Even if he does nothing, just holding them is a beautiful thing.

"You unrepentant scoundrel, you may sleep, but you must promise not to do anything bad!" Huo Sanniang said irritably.

"I promise I won't!"

After Chen Wuji's repeated assurances, Huo Sanniang finally reluctantly agreed.

But she kept warning Chen Wuji, never, after she falls asleep at night, sneak around and do bad things with Shen Youwei, lest he damage her body.

Empathizing with Shen Youwei's experience, Huo Sanniang treated this little concubine, forced upon her by the authorities, as if she were her own sister, caring for her with great affection.

Every word is about Shen Youwei's body.

Yet, Shen Youwei herself does not agree with this matter.

She always feels that just doing that kind of thing wouldn't have a huge impact on her body.

If Huo Sanniang hadn't kept blocking, she would have already offered herself to Chen Wuji.

Even regarding Chen Wuji's current situation, she feels anxious.

Clearly a beloved wife and beautiful concubine, yet she can only watch, can't have a bite, surely it's very painful.

But Huo Sanniang disagrees.

While daydreaming, Huo Sanniang moved the quilt from the next room over.

After blowing out the candle, she slipped into Chen Wuji's quilt, while Shen Youwei claimed a separate quilt, lying in the corner near the window.

Just as they lay down, Chen Wuji pulled Huo Sanniang into his arms.

"Hmm… don't act up, You Wei is here!" Huo Sanniang let out a soft coquettish hum, bit Chen Wuji's ear, and gently scolded.

Shen Youwei was startled by hearing that; could her husband be thinking of doing something during sister Heavenly Sunflower's moment? That would be wrong, it would bring misfortune.

Thinking that way, she quietly shifted, then stealthily checked inside Chen Wuji's quilt.

Phew, she let out a sigh!

The two didn't (do it), luckily all is well.

Chen Wuji was startled, feeling a bit anticipatory, expecting Shen Youwei's next move, but the girl actually ran away!

Like a fire‑setting thief, the fire went out, the person ran away.

This angered Chen Wuji greatly; he freed his left hand, turned his back and groped into Shen Youwei's quilt.

He must give this naughty fellow a little punishment.

……

Chen Wuji woke up very early today.

Huo Sanniang and Shen Youwei were still a step earlier than him, stealthily getting dressed.

"You bad guy, yesterday you were still sneaking up on her, right?" Huo Sanniang said irritably.

Shen Youwei shyly nodded, "Hmm."

"I knew you wouldn't be honest, but as long as you didn't do that kind of thing, it's fine." Huo Sanniang shook her head and laughed.

"Your body has become so weak, this kind of thing really needs attention, but never let your husband run wild. That kind of thing can be endured for a few days, but if it ruins your body, that's a lifelong matter."

Shen Youwei lowered her head, looked at the quilt covering her legs, pursed her lips and gave a gentle nod.

Actually last night, she almost couldn't hold back…

With eyes closed pretending to nap, Chen Wuji listened for a while, opened his eyes and sat up, "You all got up so early."

Huo Sanniang, startled, quickly grabbed her clothes and slipped into the quilt.

Shen Youwei also snatched a quilt and threw it over herself.

"I ask, what's this reaction from you two? I'm your husband, look at what's happening to you?" Chen Wuji said speechlessly.

How does this seem like the reaction to meeting a lecherous scoundrel?

Huo Sanniang was startled, "Um… seems like it."

Chen Wuji: …

What words, how does it just seem like that?
