Chapter 763: That Mysterious Woman

Zhang Xiuer suddenly arrived at the battlefield's core at this moment, and Chen Wuji's heart felt somewhat complex.

Their relationship twists and turns like his mother's electrocardiogram.

At first, in Chen Wuji's mind, Zhang Xiuer was just a rich girl with somewhat simple thoughts.

A true lovely maiden from a modest household.

Later, when they were in Hezhou, Zhang Xiuer genuinely surprised Chen Wuji.

Although Zhang Xiuer later explained it, the general relationship before and after was also made clear.

Yet Chen Wuji's doubts never dissipated.

That veil of mystery remains to this day.

"Husband, your concubine you kept outside has come running to you—why aren't you the slightest bit excited?" Qin Zhanhong asked with a grin, looking like she was watching a show.

Chen Wuji raised his brow slightly and said slowly, "This is indeed something worth being happy about, but whether I should be happy depends on whether she comes to see me right away."

"Husband, you're being so restrained?" Qin Zhanhong giggled.

Chen Wuji raised his hand and slapped her perky butt.

Smack!

The sound was crisp, the elasticity astonishing.

Probably because she exercises often, Qin Zhanhong's already perky butt has become even more toned.

Now it looks like a peach plumped to the utmost.

One slap could make it wobble like water.

"Hmm..."

Qin Zhanhong coquettishly whined in a sweet tone.

"Stop it, what's the commotion!" Chen Wuji shouted urgently.

At least twenty people are hidden around this house.

These clan personal guards—he can ignore them if he wants.

The trouble is, there's now Kong Jianshi, whose strength is higher.

This stern fellow always likes to speak solemnly about these matters, making it hard for him to bear. If it weren't him, Chen Wuji wouldn't care so much about such things.

Qin Zhanhong looked aggrieved and said, "Husband, it was you who struck!"

Chen Wuji: ……

Damn!

"Keep your weird noises to yourself," Chen Wuji muttered.

Qin Zhanhong grunted, "You used to demand I shout louder when spanking someone's behind, but now you complain I'm noisy just for a casual remark."

"Times have changed," Chen Wuji said speechlessly.

Qin Zhanhong leaned in and whispered by Chen Wuji's ear, "But if there's no sound, wouldn't you find it boring? These days you've even started caring about it at night."

Is it that Chen Wuji doesn't want to?

Of course not!

The point is Kong Jianshi.

This guy often drops a solemn remark: "Young Master, your vigor has waned compared to before—should I go fetch some medicinal herbs for you?"

Remarks like that, once or twice, Chen Wuji can actually tolerate.

But now Kong Jianshi is almost becoming a daily greeting.

With so many occurrences, even if Chen Wuji's skin were thick, he'd find it hard to bear!

Kong Jianshi has practically become a timer for his endurance.

"With Old Kong's strength, what movement in this room could be hidden from him?" Chen Wuji said helplessly, "Keep it down a bit; after this period passes, we'll talk to him."

Once we deal with Yu Ren and the Snake Staff Elder, we must give Kong Jianshi a separate courtyard.

Only then did Qin Zhanhong finish, sticking out her tongue and saying, "I forgot about that, hehe."

Chen Wuji shook his head.

"Then will you still go see Miss Zhang?" Qin Zhanhong asked again.

Chen Wuji shook his head. "I don't even know she's come to Zhuque City yet—how would I go see her? By the way, did she disguise herself when entering the city?"

"You already know this now… oh, I get it. Knowing it but pretending not to—right? Your catch-and-release technique is getting more polished." Qin Zhanhong giggled.

"If that's all you can say about catch-and-release, I think you shouldn't handle espionage." Chen Wuji said, "Did she disguise herself?"

Qin Zhanhong pondered a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Ah, I see now."

"She disguised herself, posing as a miss from a modestly wealthy family, riding in a carriage, altering her appearance somewhat to seem ordinary."

"But with just that disguise, she can't escape my grasp—I glanced and confirmed her identity. Zhuque City right now is a time of rising winds and surging clouds; those jianghu folks dare not step lightly, so her appearance is strikingly conspicuous."

Chen Wuji nodded. "Let your people keep an eye on her, but don't watch too closely—just note her movements; report anything promptly, the rest doesn't matter."

Qin Zhanhong acknowledged, then teasingly added, "You really are as steadfast as iron, husband—Miss Zhang once was your bed companion, a beloved concubine in your arms, yet you claim indifference and truly mean it!"

"Want another beating?" Chen Wuji raised his eyebrow.

Qin Zhanhong's eyes flirtatious with provocation, she lifted her perky butt and said, "Husband, please!"

"Don't make those weird noises," Chen Wuji pinched.

"Is this something I can decide alone? Even if I cherish that past affection, others might not feel the same."

Zhang Xiuer's person has always been shrouded in a layer of mystery for him, still not seen clearly.

Chen Wuji also hasn't forgotten his and Xu Zengyi's analysis of the emperor.

At such a critical moment, she gave no greeting, suddenly entering Zhuque City in disguise.

Now Zhuque City is Chen Wuji's turf—what can't be said, what can't be shown?

Zhang Xiuer shows too many doubts, and they are too serious!

The Court is an even more treacherous Rivers and Lakes; any doubt must not be let go lightly.

Qin Zhanhong finally put away her joking thoughts, her expression suddenly turned grave: "I also worry that what she has discovered will be exposed; I have sent all our people to the outskirts. But, whoever she meets and whatever she does will not escape our eyes."

"First, take a look; in short, don't scare the snake by beating the grass." Chen Wuji said.

"I will obey!"

Some people can't stay serious for more than three seconds.

Chen Li suddenly appeared at the doorway, "Family Head, a scout has come to see the lady."

"Husband, I'll go take a look!"

Qin Zhanhong's graceful figure stirred, like a strip of red silk lightly fluttering out the window.

Chen Wuji: ……

"There's a way!" he shouted, speechless.

What bad habit has a true aristocratic young lady developed?

Lu Wanwan covered her mouth and smiled lightly; Chen Li also tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Zhanhong had barely left when she hurried back, "Husband, I have good news and bad news; which would you like to hear first?"

"What's the good news?" Chen Wuji asked.

"The good news is that Miss Zhang is heading this way; she must be coming to see her husband."
