Qin Ren returned to his hometown to recover from an injury, but on the very night he arrived, he caught a young thief in his old house.
The thief was dressed in ancient clothes, spoke an unfa...
In the days following Chapter 64, it wasn't me...
For the next few days, it rained either heavily or lightly.
The continuous rainy weather can affect people's mood to some extent.
Because of the continuous rain, business at Liu Qingyue's shop suddenly became much quieter, and Qin Ren's construction of the house was also forced to stop.
With nothing else to do, the two began to plan their marriage.
Liu Qingyue has been married to Qin Ren for a year, but his belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy, which has made Qi Shi a little anxious.
Unaware that Liu Qingyue and Qin Ren had not yet consummated their marriage, she assumed that Qin Ren had a physical problem.
These past two days, Qin Ren has been staying at home, so she has asked the servants to cook some nourishing soups for him.
Seeing this, Qin Ren knew they couldn't delay any longer, not only for their desire to have a child, but also for the sake of their future harmonious life as a couple. Dragging it out like this would really not be good.
Qin Ren didn't rush to consummate the marriage with Liu Qingyue, partly because he didn't want to have children too soon. He felt that Liu Qingyue was still young and having children too early wouldn't be a good thing for him.
Another reason is that there is a significant age difference between him and Liu Qingyue. When Liu Qingyue was eighteen or nineteen, he always hesitated to make a move on her, feeling like he was an old cow eating young grass.
Liu Qingyue is now twenty years old, and will be twenty-one in a while. Twenty years old doesn't seem very old, but it's much better than eighteen.
The two decided to consummate their marriage, but Liu Qingyue said she wanted to go back to her modern home to do so.
He wasn't embarrassed when he was with Qin Ren, but he was embarrassed to let the rest of his family know that they had consummated their marriage.
Especially since the courtyard they were currently living in was only a temporary one provided to them by the county magistrate, Liu Qingyue felt extremely uncomfortable.
Qin Ren would naturally go along with him on such a trivial matter.
It was another rainy day.
After having dinner, the two of them went to bed early.
This break was for show, meant for Kaho and the others.
In reality, the two of them closed the bedroom door and returned to the modern world hand in hand.
Since the two planned to have a child, they did not intend to use contraception when consummating their marriage.
Qin Renyou had told Liu Qingyue that condoms can be used to prevent pregnancy in modern times.
If Liu Qingyue doesn't want to get pregnant for the time being, they can use condoms when they consummate their marriage.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue shook her head, "Let's have a child first. I really like children. The sooner we have a child, the less burden we'll have later."
If Liu Qingyue herself didn't like children, he probably wouldn't want children so soon.
But the current situation is that he quite likes children and wants to have a baby with Qin Ren.
Since he wants it, they'll have children sooner or later anyway, so it's better to have them sooner rather than later.
The sooner he gives birth to the child, the sooner he can complete his mission.
Even if he gets older and can no longer have children, he won't worry about it.
Also, he was a young man from ancient times, and his mother was also a woman from ancient times.
His mother believed that a young man and a woman should have their own children.
Once you have your own child, it doesn't matter if the man doesn't care about you anymore.
Liu Qingyue did not completely agree with her idea, but she felt that he should indeed have a child.
He wasn't doing it so that he could have someone to rely on in the future; mainly, he was different from other people.
He will definitely stay in the modern world, which means he is destined to be separated from his brother and the others.
In the modern world, he only has Qin Ren as a relative. He is very afraid that if Qin Ren passes away early, he will feel very lonely in the modern world.
Don't be fooled, it was Liu Qingyue who proposed the idea of consummating the marriage, and he has been actively making preparations recently.
But when it came time to actually consummate the marriage, Liu Qingyue still felt a little nervous and scared.
He lay on the bed looking at Qin Ren and said, "You must be gentle with me."
Qin Ren couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, "Yeah, I'll do whatever you want me to do."
"Well, how about we have a drink?"
He used to watch short dramas where the female and male leads would often do things like that after drinking.
Then, after a passionate night, the female protagonist will immediately become pregnant.
He wanted that too.
Qin Ren opened his mouth slightly, but before he could say anything, the person on the bed ran away in a flash.
Liu Qingyue ran to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine.
Knowing that Qin Ren had a high alcohol tolerance, he grabbed another bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
He was red-haired, and Qin Ren was white-haired; he simply didn't believe he couldn't get Qin Ren drunk.
Returning with two bottles of wine, Liu Qingyue pulled Qin Ren to the coffee table in front of the French windows to drink.
The two clinked their glasses, and Liu Qingyue drank first as a sign of respect.
He quite likes drinking red wine; he thinks it has a very fragrant and mellow taste.
It's perfect for when you're not eating anything else, to savor it slowly.
Unfortunately, he has important business to attend to today, so he can't savor it slowly.
After Liu Qingyue finished her drink, she looked at Qin Ren and asked, "Why aren't you drinking yet?"
Qin Ren: "I don't think it's good for me to be drunk."
Because Liu Qingyue had just told him to be gentle with him.
Qin Ren felt he should stay sober; only in this way could he remain rational and not do anything too outrageous.
"What's wrong with it?"
"When I'm drunk, I can't be gentle."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue instinctively became shy.
He stammered, "Y-yes, that's true. Well, then you shouldn't drink it. I... I'll drink it."
As he said this, he drank another glass of red wine.
After finishing the wine, he thought to himself that the alcohol content was a bit too low.
He's already drunk two large glasses, and he's still perfectly sober.
Liu Qingyue: "Me? How come I'm not drunk yet?"
Could he be some kind of wine connoisseur?
Qin Ren was both amused and exasperated by his words. "Are you sure you're not drunk?"
Liu Qingyue nodded, and wanted to stand up and prove it to him.
As a result... as soon as he stood up, he started to sway, leaning all the way to the left.
Qin Ren got up to help him with a bit of helplessness, but Liu Qingyue wanted to push him away, saying that he wasn't drunk yet.
Seeing this, Qin Ren exerted a little force and picked him up with one hand.
Qin Ren held him in his arms while drawing the curtains of the French windows.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"What important matter?" Liu Qingyue asked, already drunk and a little dazed.
"What do you think? Didn't you say you were going to have a baby for me?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I... I accidentally forgot."
Qin Ren laid the person down on the bed. As he stood by the bed taking off his clothes, he heard Liu Qingyue say to herself, "So, do we want a baby boy, a baby girl, or a little boy?"
Qin Ren: "It's your decision."
As Qin Ren spoke, he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular and sexy upper body.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and began to undress Liu Qingyue.
Liu Qingyue muttered, "Want a daughter? No, no, no, first I want a boy, second I want a daughter, third I want a boy."
Qin Ren laughed when he heard this, "So many? It's not good for your health. Besides, you're a boy, I thought you'd prefer a boy?"
Liu Qingyue: "Then, let's have a boy, a young master?"
Actually, he also wanted a daughter.
Thinking this through, Liu Qingyue hesitated and said, "Then, shall we have a daughter and a son?"
If we weren't born in ancient times, would it be okay not to have a son?
But he has an older brother, and he is a little afraid that if he only has his daughter and brother, his own children might be bullied by bad men.
Don't be fooled by the fact that daughters and sons will marry men in the future; in reality, many men enjoy bullying women and sons.
On the one hand, they want to take women and boys, and need them to bear children for them; on the other hand, they particularly enjoy suppressing them.
For example, they disliked women and boys leaving the house, believing that they would seek out other men once they left.
For example, they dislike women doing business with men, still believing that they would be cuckolded.
For example, if a problem arises, they would push the blame onto the woman and the boy.
When encountering a tyrannical ruler, people blame his concubines for bringing disaster to the country, as if the emperor himself is not the tyrannical ruler, but rather his concubine.
If it is his child, it will be a daughter and a son.
Other people's men won't care about them; they'll only think of ways to deceive and belittle them.
What if Qin Ren gets old? Will he be able to protect them all by himself?
Before Liu Qingyue could continue lost in thought, Qin Ren kissed her forehead.
Qin Ren asked him, "What are you worried about? Why are you frowning?"
Liu Qingyue: "I'm worried about my future children, worried that they will be bullied."
"You have to believe in me, and you have to believe in yourself. We will definitely be able to raise the child well."
Even if they have a daughter or a son, as long as the parents raise them well, the child can still grow up to be outstanding.
Liu Qingyue vaguely felt that Qin Ren's words made a lot of sense, but unfortunately his mind was a little confused at the moment, so he argued and made a fuss with Qin Ren for a while.
...
When Liu Qingyue woke up the next day, she was in a daze.
He can't quite remember what happened last night. He only knows that they did consummate their marriage last night, but he can't remember exactly what it felt like.
If it weren't for the fact that his body was sore and weak, he probably would have thought that they hadn't consummated their marriage at all.
When Qin Ren brought in the hot porridge, Liu Qingyue looked up and asked him, "How are you feeling?"
"How does it feel?"
"I... I mean, what's it like to consummate the marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren knew that Liu Qingyue was a short film.
As he handed him the hot porridge, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Liu Qingyue was indeed drunk last night, but because he spoke very clearly, I thought he wasn't very drunk.
Now that he heard him ask this question, Qin Ren realized that some people can still speak with such clear thinking even when they are drunk.
"Yeah, I'm sure I feel great. Yours... you're a guy, so it might be a little tough the first time."
Whether it was hard work or not, Liu Qingyue doesn't remember now; for him, it wasn't hard work at all.
Liu Qingyue pursed her lips and after a long while said, "I'll try again after I rest for two days."
He didn't feel anything; he always felt like he was being taken advantage of.
Liu Qingyue said he would try again in two days, but in fact he tried it only one day later.
Because it was still raining the day after they consummated their marriage, Qin Ren was unable to go out.
Since she had nothing better to do, Liu Qingyue pulled Qin Ren aside and applied scar-removing ointment to his face.
The ointment he had given Qin Ren before, Qin Ren had already used up.
The scar removal effect is quite good; the scars on Qin Ren's face have faded a lot.
Recently, Ms. Qi found a new scar removal cream from a famous doctor, and she spent money to buy it for Qin Ren.
The ointment had been in Liu Qingyue's hands for several days, but she hadn't had a chance to give it to Qin Ren.
It just so happens that it's been raining these past few days, keeping Qin Ren stuck at home, so Liu Qingyue can take the opportunity to let him use her.
Actually, by this time, the scars on Qin Ren's face had faded considerably and were barely visible unless you looked closely.
However, Liu Qingyue was a sucker for good looks, and he thought Qin Ren was handsome, so the scar was a real flaw.
And Qin Ren was his husband; he cherished his own husband, and he still wanted to completely remove Qin Ren's scars.
It was while he was applying the ointment to Qin Ren that he couldn't resist leaning in and taking a small bite of Qin Ren's exceptionally handsome face.
After he finished that bite, it was his turn to lie on the bed and have Qin Ren taste him.
Since this was in ancient times, Xiang Sui, as Liu Qingyue's personal maid, naturally knew about their consummation of the marriage.
As Xiang Sui went to have hot water prepared, she couldn't help but feel happy for Liu Qingyue.
While waiting for the hot water, Kaho murmured to herself, "I hope my master will have a little master soon."
The Marquis is now at the height of his power, and there is no one else in his harem, nor does he have a single child.
A marquis like this is easily targeted by some people.
She really likes her husband and doesn't like any other random people.
She didn't want her husband to be bullied by others in the future, so she naturally hoped that he could establish a firm foothold in the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible.
For men in ancient times, the best way to secure their position was to have a child.
After Xianghui and her servants prepared the hot water, it was supposed to be her turn to serve Liu Qingyue her bath. However, seeing that the Marquis showed no sign of leaving, she tactfully led her servants out.
After watching Xiang Sui and the others leave, Qin Ren spoke to Liu Qingyue, "I wonder if you'll still be able to open the passage after you get pregnant?"
If he can't open the passage, he'd better send Liu Qingyue to the modern world right now.
With modern medical conditions, giving birth in modern times is much easier than in ancient times.
But now that he has sent Liu Qingyue away, he doesn't know how to tell Madam Qi about this.
As Liu Qingyue lay in the warm bathwater, she naturally understood what Qin Ren was worried about.
Liu Qingyue: "How about this, we send my mother back to the capital?"
Qin Ren: "Wouldn't that be bad?"
Qi Shi had only just arrived in the fiefdom with them, and they had already sent the people away so quickly. Wouldn't Qi Shi be unable to help but overthink things?
Liu Qingyue: "At first, I wanted to take her with me because I thought that you had the highest status in the fiefdom, and she wouldn't have to suffer if she stayed with us. But I didn't expect the weather here to be so hot and humid. My mother is a native of the north, and I'm worried that it will be bad for her health if she stays here for too long."
It was a mistake on his part; when he left, he only thought of taking his mother with him.
As a result, many things were done on a whim, and it wasn't until they actually arrived at the place that they found they couldn't adapt to the local environment.
"Send her away, that way she won't notice anything wrong when I give birth later."
If he were really born in modern times, it would be best if the Qi family didn't know he had a child.
If the Qi family is worried about their offspring, they can adopt a child without parents.
Adopting a child is difficult in modern times, but it was quite easy in ancient times.
Especially given Qin Ren's prestigious status, it would be quite easy for them to find a child who has no one to raise him.
With that in mind, Liu Qingyue told Qin Ren her idea.
“Once my mother is gone, I can give birth to my child in the modern world. If it’s too difficult to hide this from here, we can adopt one or two children and raise them as our own.”
They were of noble status and had a large number of servants and slaves.
Even if you raise several children, you can still raise them well.
Besides, the children Liu Qingyue wants to adopt are all those who have no parents or have been abandoned by others.
Children like this rarely survive. Even those who do manage to live a very difficult life.
But it's different when you're with them. They have servants to take care of you, wet nurses to feed you, and good teachers to teach you.
Even if Qin Ren is very busy and can't take care of them every day, their lives will still be very comfortable.
Moreover... there might even be children who could inherit Qin Ren's title in the future.
That's a world of difference compared to their previous status.
Even if they know they are not biologically related, they will still be very grateful for their adoption.
“Okay, we’ll find an opportunity to talk to Mother in the next couple of days.”
After sending Qi Shi away, Qin Ren sent Liu Qingyue to the modern world to prepare for pregnancy.
If he becomes pregnant and can no longer use the teleportation portal, he can still take good care of his pregnancy in the modern world.
