Chapter 584: Urgent Need for Heirs

"I learned it from San Niang." Qin Zhanhong chuckled.

Chen Wuji completely didn't believe it, "Nonsense, how could San Niang possibly be better than you? Her level is something I've experienced too, far inferior to you three."

Although San Niang has a gentle temperament and is compliant, she is rather rigid and conservative in this matter; even now she would still be shy to let go.

Compared to Qin Zhanhong, Shen Youwei, and Xiao Yuji, these three big ruffians, she seems completely out of place.

Qin Zhanhong laughed, "San Niang is just shy, but actually her ability to grasp this matter is not weak at all; this method was indeed taught by San Niang."

"That day we were sitting together chatting idly, we somehow got onto this topic, San Niang said we could try it like this, it should be more fun, so I tried it today."

Chen Wuji found it hard to believe this was San Niang's idea, but disbelief seemed to leave no other possibility.

Although Qin Zhanhong is rather unrefined, Chen Wuji clearly knows she couldn't possibly go outside to find someone to improve this skill; that remark was only something said jokingly.

"Since it feels comfortable, I'll reward my husband with more!" Qin Zhanhong giggled, busying herself again.

The near-perfect gentleness of the snake embryos made Chen Wuji instantly drift into a carefree, immortal-like state; he had to admit San Niang's brainwave was excellent, instantly unlocking such superb skill, worthy of high praise.

After a short while, Qin Zhanhong's eyes became hazy with allure.

"Husband, is it enough? I also want..."

"Enough, come quickly, don't think badly of my wife." Chen Wuji said with a wicked smile.

"Disgusting!"

Qin Zhanhong rolled over and immediately launched into a side-leg gallop.

The cot carried on marches, for ease of transport, was much smaller than normal size; Qin Zhanhong could only have one foot outside and one foot on the cot.

"Husband, the feeling after a long separation." Qin Zhanhong murmured, "Truly wonderful..."

Chen Wuji stared for a moment, then carefully counted the days.

Less than half a month—does this count as long?

……

After a long, satisfying session, Qin Zhanhong hugged her legs, lying back on the soft cot, "Husband, this is also a method San Niang taught me, to increase the chance of pregnancy."

"I've seen this before." Chen Wuji said.

"If you're pregnant now, you can't do what you're doing; must you be so urgent?"

"Urgent, the eldest son of the main line—how could I not be urgent?" Qin Zhanhong said.

"Everyone is working so hard, how could I fall behind? No problem, even if pregnant, I can still handle espionage duties just fine. And with ten months of pregnancy, I'll have enough time to get this special unit off the ground."

Chen Wuji stared blankly, "Eldest son of the main line—what a foreign title..."

"What's so strange about it? You have no concubines, you treat us all equally as wives, so our children have no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate." Qin Zhanhong said.

"That's natural. What I mean is, I never imagined the title 'eldest son of the main line' would apply to me; it's quite unexpected." Chen Wuji truly felt both surprised and unfamiliar.

What status does he have, already involved in next-generation matters?

But upon reflection, this really does seem like a major affair.

He controls two provinces, commands nearly seventy thousand troops; he indeed needs to pay attention to the matter of heirs.

Fortunately, the bellies of San Niang and the others have shown no movement yet.

Waiting for the children to grow up will take some time, giving Chen Wuji enough time to learn how to be a father, how to educate heirs, and how to balance future power struggles among brothers.

This is an unavoidable matter.

He now truly can be considered a great family with great enterprise.

If the Dayu Dynasty does not fall, the emperor's appointment of him as Military Governor will inevitably be inherited by one of his sons—this is beyond dispute.

Chen Wuji tidied his clothes, sat cross-legged on the cot, "Today you've brought me good news or bad? In such a beautiful moment, you can first share the good; if the bad isn't urgent, you can save it for tomorrow."

Qin Zhanhong pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually there's nothing today, I'm just craving!"

Chen Wuji: ……

"Be serious, you're just loud-mouthed; I don't believe you'd travel all the way to Wenkou Town just for this."

Qin Zhanhong insisted, "It's true, I seem to have entered a special period lately, craving this sort of thing intensely, to the point of sometimes being unable to sleep at night."

"Although coming all this way for this does seem a bit foolish, I'm willing; I truly don't want to lie awake at night worrying about this."

It looks like what she said is true.

Chen Wuji silently chuckled, "Then stay a few more days."

"At most three days; our fake Imperial City Department is expanding, I need to personally oversee it." Qin Zhanhong said seriously, "I made a mistake earlier—I shouldn't have used only those girls; I should also pick some people from the army."

"Any problems?" Chen Wuji asked.

Qin Zhanhong lowered her head to check her condition, seeing that the backflow had already completed, then continued, "It's not a big problem; it's just that those girls lack sufficient dignity. They handle tasks cleanly and diligently, but putting them in charge of people is somewhat inadequate."

"This time I intend to pick some reliable people from the army to supplement them. Quickly promote a batch from among them to stabilize the situation; it's impossible to let those few girls shoulder the whole burden."

Chen Wuji suddenly thought of the autumn rain, "Speaking of which, I actually have someone here, also a woman. She single-handedly handled the defection of half the Nan Jun prefecture and the Negotiation Colonel, and she did it very successfully."

"If you think she's useful, you can take her away; I'm just not sure whether she's reliable—under Snake Staff Old Man, she's rather a tough nut."

Qin Zhanhong's eyes lit up instantly, "Husband, you're amazing—hiding beauties in a golden house aside, you actually hid such a capable spy, tsk tsk, no wonder you're my husband."

"Hey hey hey, enough already, don't keep framing me." Chen Wuji said helplessly, "Lu Ping'an wanted to use that woman to assassinate me, failed, and got caught by me."

"Speaking of which, there's something you should pay extra attention to: the women under Snake Staff Old Man have very similar dispositions. That feeling is vague; you should observe it yourself, and pay attention when you encounter them in the future."

Qin Zhanhong put away her playful demeanor, "I need to meet this woman."
