Chapter 1053

First Volume, Chapter 1053: The Eve of Returning Home

With Li Xiaolan's strength, even if she were pregnant for ten months and tied together four or five Jing Ci, she would still be no match for her.

Qin Feng grinned: "No wonder she's my Qin Feng's wife!"

Li Xiaolan's face flushed crimson; even with her heart realm's experience, hearing the term "wife" made her cheeks burn and her heartbeat quicken.

That brat, always up to mischief.

"You, you, stop hovering around me all day—go spend more time with Qian Ying."

Saying this, Li Xiaolan suddenly sniffed disdainfully, her gaze toward Qin Feng turning cold.

"You can still get away with it now, but once we return to Shedynasty, let's see if you've grown three heads and six arms or learned the Clone Technique."

Qin Feng knew exactly what Li Xiaolan was mocking.

Right now, only Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying are beside him; once they return to Shedynasty, Xie Yun'er will be waiting.

These are just his officially wedded wives—there are also two future concubines watching closely.

Even with a principal wife, he can't neglect Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng, those two maids.

And…

Qin Feng cursed his own greed—eating from the bowl while eyeing the pot; he couldn't let go of Elder Sister and Second Sister either.

Five wives, two concubines?!

Qin Feng suddenly felt a chill creep down his back—one wife was already hard enough to handle; seven all at once? They'd tear him apart.

Sigh!

Having too many wives is also a headache.

Future matters can wait—enjoying the present is what matters.

Qin Feng always took things lightly; after dawdling with Li Xiaolan a bit, he scampered off to find Jing Qianying—only to be scolded senseless as she poked his forehead.

"You heartless wretch!"

"Now that you've got a wife, you forget your elder sister."

"Elder Sister came all the way from a thousand li away to find you, yet you spend all your time buzzing around me and Third Sister—did she raise you for nothing?"

After being berated by Jing Qianying, Qin Feng felt deeply wronged.

"She used to beat me all the time…"

Jing Qianying rolled her eyes: "You still got off too lightly."

"Get out, get out, don't bother me—go find Elder Sister. When we return to Shedynasty, you'd better make it up to Second Sister."

"Second Sister stayed alone in Jingdu, managing a vast household, working tirelessly—isn't that hard enough?"

"And Yun'er—sometimes even I feel indignant for her, pitying her misfortune, furious at her passivity."

"She was supposed to be the rightful principal wife, yet her status has been lowered again and again—and still, she waits for you. If anyone else were in her place, they'd have dumped you long ago."

After being scolded in succession by Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying, Qin Feng felt truly despicable.

If not for his thick skin, he'd have already killed himself on the spot to atone.

To prevent Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying from suffering miscarriage, Qin Feng dared not provoke them—he bolted away at once, planning to seek refuge with Ning Hu and Xu Mo, only to find both had already left.

"No way?!"

Qin Feng stared at the empty County Yamen, froze for a moment, then rushed outside a few steps—but there was no trace of Ning Hu.

An Anwu Guard emerged from a dark corner.

"My Lord, the two Generals have already departed. They asked me to deliver a message."

"The Imperial Road Carriage is ready. Also left behind: fifty Tianji Camp Guards and one hundred Beixi Soldiers to escort you and your Jia Guan safely along the way."

"Commander Liu has already led the Anwu Guard ahead to scout the route, laying hidden Anwu Guards along the way to ensure absolute safety."

"There's one more thing—I'm not sure whether I should say it."

Qin Feng frowned slightly: "I've shared life-and-death bonds with Little Marquis and General Xu—what can't you say?"

The Anwu Guard nodded: "Since My Lord says so…"

"The two Generals told me to tell you: you've got no business to attend to—don't go wandering around."

"Little Marquis counted for you—you already have seven wives and concubines. If you keep flirting, watch out…"

"Watch out… being devoured down to the last bone."

"General Xu also told you to take care of your health—don't ruin yourself before you're old."

Damn!

These two bastards—worry about yourselves instead of me!

Qin Feng was furious—if those two hadn't already fled, he'd have beaten them black and blue.

Especially Ning Hu—ever since he got together with Qi Ya, he's been utterly distracted.

Men are all the same—once they get a woman, they forget their comrades.

But then again…

Seven wives and concubines…

Could Ning Hu have sensed that I still harbor feelings for Shen Qingci and Liu Hongyan? Damn—is it really that obvious?

But then again, now that Ning Hu and Xu Mo have left, Qin Feng felt a strange sense of disorientation.

Rather than stay in the courtyard and be scolded in turn, Qin Feng decided to bolt off himself and personally prepare the carriage for departure.

Arriving at the carriage, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder it's an Imperial Road Carriage—truly majestic!"

"Not even six people—ten would fit easily."

Thinking of five women crammed together in one carriage, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing.

One carriage isn't enough—since we're here, we might as well bring back some Local Specialties.

Qin Feng counted off his fingers: besides his father and the Liang Emperor, he also had to treat that old bastard Ming Wang.

And Lin Quqi and Zhao Yulong worked hard too.

And Qin Xiaofu and Lu Ming, who've been running the Tianji Camp all along.

Oh right, right—Second Sister and Yun'er can't be forgotten, nor Father-in-law Taishan Xie Bi…

"Someone, come here!"

The Anwu Guard rushed in: "My Lord, what are your orders?"

"Go to the palace right now and find Li Zhang. There must be plenty of Treasures in there—pick out a few with distinct Northern Di characteristics and bring them back."

"I'm going home to give gifts."

The Anwu Guard didn't overthink it and left with the order.

In the Grand Hall, where Li Zhang was deliberating the Zhi Guo Fang Lue with ministers, he was already overwhelmed.

He couldn't help cursing inwardly: he shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to be Qin Feng's damn acting Chancellor.

Qin Feng was having it easy, while he was stuck with the mess.

Why not return to Beixi County and enjoy life as his carefree Young Master?

"Qin Feng! If I ever help you with another shitty task like this, I'll take your surname!"

Hearing Li Zhang's curses, the Northern Di Officials exchanged glances—they didn't understand why Li Zhang dared to speak so disrespectfully to Qin Feng.

Was Li Zhang the only one?

Ning Hu and Xu Mo, those two generals, also didn't seem to treat Qin Feng with proper deference.

This wasn't master and servant—it was clearly comrades who'd been through thick and thin together…

The officials had never seen anything like it: for the first time, they witnessed a master-servant relationship handled so… down-to-earth!

At that moment, the Eunuch delivered a message.

"Chancellor, Lord Qin has sent word: prepare some palace Treasures—he wants to take them back… as gifts."

Hisss…

A chorus of sharp intakes of breath rose around the hall.

They'd seen shameless people before—but never this shameless!
