"What’s wrong, don’t you recognize ?"
Seeing him standing at the door silently for a long ti, Chun Nuan couldn’t help asking, "What’s bothering you?"
Zhao Minghua remained silent.
"I heard today that there’s chaos in Changzhou. Is our small town safe?"
Chun Nuan knew all too well what unrest ant.
She decided to ask Zhao Minghua for a few capable won to protect her family in the village.
She didn’t dare ask for n. After all, her family, besides Chun Ning, only consisted of won and children. Sotis human nature is a gamble not worth taking.
"For now, there’s nothing much to worry about in town," Zhao Minghua said. "I’ll have Fang Ying and Fang Hua stay in the village to care for your family."
Fang Ying and Fang Hua are twins, guards raised by Zhao Minghua.
He had previously ntioned having them serve as maids for Chun Nuan, but she didn’t agree.
She felt that since she wasn’t going anywhere, it would be a waste of their talent; good resources should be used wisely.
"Thank you."
Chun Nuan didn’t expect that Zhao Minghua had thought of this before she even ntioned it.
This person... sotis his warmth leaves her speechless with gratitude.
When she first got engaged to him, it seed she was scheming against him. But now, it was clear she was the real winner.
Of course, he was also a winner, for he had won her heart.
With his sincerity and passion, he touched her deeply, capturing her heart.
Such a man might truly be worth entrusting for life; perhaps it’s ti to bear him a child!
"How will you thank ?"
Seeing Chun Nuan lost in thought, he knew how captivating she was, making him lose control.
He leaned in and embraced her waist, "How about offering yourself as a token of gratitude, my dear?"
On any other day, Chun Nuan would have rolled her eyes at him and maybe even stepped on his foot when he wasn’t looking.
But today, Chun Nuan didn’t do that; instead, she leaned in...
In broad daylight, Chun Nuan broke her own rule.
Zhao Minghua felt a bit guilty, having been too intense, worried soone would angrily kick him off the bed.
However, the expected anger didn’t co; instead, the person in his arms fell into a deep sleep.
Her cheeks flushed in her dreams, tempting Zhao Minghua to steal another kiss.
"Mmm..."
Chun Nuan humd softly, and Zhao Minghua quickly got out of bed.
Truly, if he didn’t leave, he didn’t know if he could control himself.
Ah, his wife was too tempting, he couldn’t be blad.
Chun Nuan woke up in the middle of the night from hunger.
When she awoke, her mind was still a bit fuzzy. Recalling the evening’s events, her face flushed slightly.
However, it was night; he wouldn’t see.
"Hungry? I’ll have soone bring food in."
"Mm, a bit hungry."
"Soone, bring in food."
"Yes."
The servants brought in the food tray, and Zhao Minghua had Chun Nuan stay in bed while he went to serve it to her.
"How can we do that? Isn’t it improper?"
This truly breached all etiquette.
Chun Nuan felt Zhao Minghua’s pampering had no limits.
What household would spoil soone like this?
"It’s okay; we’re in the inner courtyard where no one can see," Zhao Minghua insisted on feeding her, and Chun Nuan accepted it. After all, it was a little couple’s playfulness.
Indeed, no one saw in the inner courtyard.
At tis, indulging like this in private was fine.
"I’ve had the kitchen simring this soup for a while. How’s the taste?"
"It’s quite good." Chun Nuan thought of sothing, "Didn’t they say there’s chaos in Changzhou? That batch of grain we stored last year..."
"I was just about to consider that. I think we need to wait and see how things develop," Zhao Minghua said. "For now, the situation is unclear, and we need to see what happens to utilize the grain effectively."
"He’s been in office for years without much achievent. It’s surprising he’s facing such a challenge."
"His talents are limited; let’s see how he handles this," Zhao Minghua comnted. "It’s unexpected, the first to fall into chaos is Shu City."
"Is it possible that all of Great Xia is in turmoil?"
"There’s no news about that yet, but Shu City mainly acts independently, and King Shu and the Third Prince seem to have reached so kind of agreent to act together."
"The common people suffer the most!"
Chun Nuan sighed.
The wealthy are concerned about the soup’s taste, while ordinary people might be selling their children to survive.
"In peace, the people suffer; in ruin, they suffer too."
"Indeed, who knows to what extent this will escalate?" Zhao Minghua said. "Let’s see when this can be resolved. I have a hunch he might send General Xia to quell the rebellion."
Really?
