Capítulo 2079: Chapter 1: Flirting With Girls (First Update)
General Mansion.
In the center of the living room sat a young woman, heavily pregnant, who had a refined appearance. Although she wasn’t the most commonly seen beauty in the Capital city, her graceful deanor lent a rare beauty to her sowhat ordinary features.
This woman was Ran Qing, the wife of Dayong’s youngest Great General, Xia Geng.
At the ti, Ran Qing was nearly seven months pregnant with twins, and the person checking her pulse was the recently fad Divine Doctor, Zhen Xiuming.
Zhen Xiuming wore a moon-white long robe, his hair ticulously combed, and his handso face remarkably flawless, his skin enviably fair even to won.
Indeed, the young woman standing beside Ran Qing looked resentfully at him, her eyes burning with jealousy almost reaching three ters high.
“Hmph, a grown man looking just like a woman, a Little White Face!”
Ran Yan muttered and rolled her eyes fiercely, unwilling to admit she was jealous of the Little White Face’s skin, more delicate and fair than her own!
Even though it was a mutter, the voice was not small at all, and Zhen Xiuming, who was attentively checking the pulse with closed eyes, slightly trembled his eyelids.
Ran Qing raised her head and glanced at her younger sister reproachfully, hurriedly apologized to Zhen Xiuming with a smile, “My cousin has been spoiled by since childhood, speaks recklessly, I hope Mr. Zhen doesn’t mind her young age. I will teach her properly later.”
“Sister!”
Ran Yan clearly did not like her sister’s approach, thinking what was so great about that young doctor, was it worth her sister to lower herself and apologize like that?
Everyone knew the Ran family was a prominent na in the Martial World!
Zhen Xiuming opened his eyes and removed his hand from Ran Qing’s wrist, respectfully clasped his fists and said, “Madam has spoken too heavily, I am rely a humble doctor, dare not trouble Madam so. Besides, Brother Xia and I, though we’ve known each other not long, share a great affinity. So how could I make things difficult for his young sister-in-law?”
Young sister-in-law, young sister-in-law! The words Ran Yan hated to hear the most!
It was as if he were saying she was just a piece of soap!
Zhen Xiuming, apparently indifferent to the look that seed ready to devour him, continued to sit upright and speak solemnly, “However, considering I am friends with Brother Xia, I must remind Madam.”
“Mr. Zhen, please speak.”
Zhen Xiuming squinted slightly, covering the fleeting jest in his eyes, and said earnestly, “Within the Capital city, many of those young ladies abide by the strict social etiquettes; Miss Ran being new and straightforward in character would do well to restrain herself a bit. Otherwise, she might provoke so people’s discontent. Better to have fewer troubles than more, although Brother Xia’s reputation is glorious, there are many who resent him in the court; I hope Madam rembers this.”
“What do you an by that! Resentnt? My brother-in-law risks his life for Dayong, and these people don’t express gratitude, rather resentnt! Where can you find such shaless people!”
Ran Yan, outspoken and raised in the Martial World, could hardly understand the Capital’s social intricacies, imdiately rebutted upon hearing this.
“Yanyan! Be quiet!”
Ran Qing’s expression changed slightly; this ti, she truly admonished.
If she were told this five years prior, she certainly wouldn’t have taken it to heart, even agreeing with Ran Yan without hesitation.
Yet after marrying into the Capital, over the past four years, she understood the Capital’s deception; those who speak well to your face and stab you in the back are many, and those who smile at you one mont then harm you the next abound.
She believed Zhen Xiuming’s words and did not think they were re scaremongering.
Moreover, Xia Geng was currently leading the Xia Family Army against Beirong, and as it stood, the Xia Family Army had just established, with its combat power not yet strong, when they had just set out, there were imdiate objections from the court.
So claim that Beirong is barbaric yet crude, that a little Silver annually could dismiss them easily. Others say Xia Geng blew the matter out of proportion, deliberately leading troops against Beirong only to seek glory for himself.
Ha, are these people blind! Beirong harasses the border daily; they haven’t witnessed the tragedy within, yet speak so lightly! Are the displaced border civilians all actors arranged by Xia Geng rely for him to build his reputation?
It’s laughable!
Ran Qing squinted her eyes, actually having spoken in anger more than once, advising Xia Geng to ignore court matters and return to the Martial World to live freely with her. Let those Beirong barbarians storm into the Capital city to terrify the ddling officials, making them wet their pants!
