Chapter 229: Chapter 230: Put on Your Clothes_1
Qinghe was unaware that Muniang could read, so Muniang said, “That’s a good idea. Still, people would indeed need to see the child’s face to pick a suitable na. When the ti cos, we can bring the child to them. Besides, you’re heavy with child now, and it’s not good for you to travel a long distance.”
“Mmm.” Qinghe patted her belly, where her child lay, her expression finally easing sowhat. This child had beco her greatest source of emotional support; with him, everything seed more manageable.
Muniang was still preoccupied with managing the Tianzhuang estate, rising early in the morning. Who could afford to sleep in when earning silver was at stake?!
Qingya brought in so water for washing her face, attending to Muniang’s morning routine, and inadvertently ntioned sothing, “Lady, I just learned sothing. It seems that the Chui family is not at peace.”
Muniang was taken aback, “What happened?”
Lowering her voice, Qingya said, “I heard that a few days ago, Mrs. Chui’s and Lin Yang’s store in town was cleaned out overnight by thieves. Whether it was money or goods, everything was gone. Both Chui Laicai and Chui San, father and son, were beaten half to death and dumped in the wilderness. They had to crawl back on their own. Chui Laicai, they say, was even stripped of his clothes—anyway, it was pitiable. And as for the Zheng family, weren’t they the head of the criminal underworld in Jinyang Town? In one night, they were brought down, and all those who feared the Zheng family are taking the opportunity to seek revenge.”
Muniang asked, “Who did this?”
Shaking her head, Qingya replied, “I don’t know, but these things happened all at once, so everyone thinks it must be divine punishnt for their misdeeds. What do you think, Lady?”
Of course it wasn’t. These people were all intricately connected to her own household and had all run into trouble at this particular ti. After contemplating for a mont, Muniang suddenly recalled what Yu Ze had ntioned a few days ago when they went to town to send Madam Liu’s children to school. A shiver ran through her, and she rose to her feet and ran out.
Qingya was startled, “Hey, where are you going, Lady?!”
Before her words even finished, Muniang had already left.
“Two taels!”
Muniang burst into Yu Ze’s room with a “bang” and saw a half-naked back view—broad muscular shoulders, bronze skin, narrow waist atop broad hips, smooth and defined muscle lines, and—a striking side profile.
Yu Ze, who was about to get dressed, didn’t panic when he noticed Muniang rush in. Instead, he just turned his head and gazed steadily at her, “My wife.”
Muniang’s face heated up, and she turned to leave, “I apologize.”
But before she reached the door, Yu Ze had already blocked her way, and Muniang’s nose tingled as she bumped into him. With a flick of Yu Ze’s hand, the door “bang” closed shut.
“What are you doing?!” Muniang protested, annoyed.
Wrapping one arm around Muniang’s slender waist, drawing her close to himself, Yu Ze curled his lips, “Wife, we are husband and wife. Is it really good to be so distant?”
Muniang only wore a light spring garnt, and with Yu Ze’s bare chest pressed against her, only a thin layer of fabric separated them. Having never been so intimately close to a man in either of her lives, Muniang’s face turned embarrassingly red, “We haven’t yet had our wedding ceremony, so don’t get too familiar with . Quickly get dressed!”
Her tone slightly coquettish.
Yu Ze felt elated; the rare tis when Muniang showed a softer, girlish side seed all the more precious to him, “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. What’s there to be shy about? Sooner or later, I’m going to be your man.” There was a mischievous tone to his words.
With his martial prowess, he could hear anyone’s footsteps within a hundred ters, and he had noticed her approach. So, he had deliberately slowed down his dressing.
Faced with such beauty, Muniang bit her lip and eventually spoke, “Stop fooling around, I have sothing serious to tell you.”
Holding Muniang a bit tighter, Yu Ze asked, “What is it? Tell .”
Annoyed, Muniang glared at him, but Yu Ze remained unfazed. Since he had regained consciousness, he hadn’t touched her; his desire was growing unbearable, yet knowing she wasn’t ready, he refrained from pressing her. Sotis, he felt it would be better to be ignorant—kiss whenever you wanted, hug whenever you desired. Had Muniang ever resisted?
Now that he was conscious, he found it harder to make a move. Yet here was a golden opportunity, delivered right to his door; how could he let it slip away so easily?
Muniang used her elbow to create so distance before speaking, “Mrs. Chui and her lot are in trouble one after another, was that your doing?”
Yu Ze hooked up the corner of his lip, “Yes.” He had no intention of hiding it from her.
“Why didn’t you tell , my mother has always doted on my useless uncle, and now that their family is in trouble and out of money, who knows, they might co to our house begging. I just hope my mother doesn’t go soft again.”
“She won’t,” Yu Ze said with certainty.
Muniang paused, “Why not?”
Yu Ze chuckled, “Any problem that can be solved with force is not a problem.”
Muniang wore a face full of black lines, is this guy really a General who cares for the country and the people? Why does he now seem like a bandit?
“Alright, since that’s the case, I’m relieved,” Muniang finally smiled, feeling quite pleased inside.
Suddenly, Yu Ze’s smile faded, “Wife, I’ve done such a good deed without leaving my na, don’t you think you should reward ?”
Muniang blinked, “What reward?”
Yu Ze leaned in closer to Muniang, his warm breath tickling her face.
“Wife, a twenty-six-year-old normal man has normal needs, I’ve been hungry for a long ti,” Yu Ze said with a tone tinged with grievance.
Muniang’s face imdiately flushed red, and she began to regret why on earth she had suddenly co to find this hungry ghost?
“A twenty-six-year-old old man talking about his ‘needs’ to a sixteen-year-old girl, aren’t you ashad?” Muniang glared at him.
Yu Ze, who had never really thought about the age issue, was suddenly taken aback by Muniang’s remark. To think his little wife was so much younger! At the age when his wife was as beautiful as a flower, he should be like an old bull!
“Wife, do you think I’m old?” Yu Ze looked aggrieved.
Muniang felt sowhat dazed, as if she could see Erliang’s figure. Wasn’t this man an iceberg? Was it really okay for him to act so adorable?
Muniang held her forehead, “No, I think you’re fine.”
“So you don’t despise ?”
“I don’t,” Muniang held her forehead again.
“Oh.”
Muniang blankly blinked, what does ‘oh’ an?
But imdiately after, she was pulled into a tight embrace, a warm pair of lips sealed hers, and a pair of long, broad palms began to wander over her body.
Muniang’s mind went boom, short-circuiting on the spot.
Like a wolf starved and ferocious, Yu Ze gave Muniang no chance to speak, quickly bringing her to the bed, and ravaging the lips he had coveted for so long. His hands uncontrollably got ready to strip off clothes.
