“I think he’s like a bewitching demon from the mountains!” Shirley said earnestly.

Even a real fairy wouldn't have that kind of charm to warrant such mindless hype!

"..." Huang Taiji was somewhat dumbfounded.

He racked his brains but never expected Sherry to interpret it that way.

"Besides, Loge hasn't eaten with me in a long time. After Hauge left, I thought he would stick to me every day!"

Sherry sounded aggrieved.

Huang Taiji felt that Zhe Zhe's exaggerated reaction was somewhat ridiculous.

"It's true that Loge is being irresponsible, but it's still my fault. I should have spent more time with you!"

Huang Taiji stared intently into Xue Li's eyes.

Sherry couldn't help but feel elated, but she still pretended to be serious.

"Love is a constant feeling of indebtedness! After all, I am a man destined for great things, how can I indulge in my romantic entanglements? But with these words from me, I can die without regrets!"

Huang Taiji felt somewhat comforted at first, but his expression changed drastically as he listened to the later parts.

"Don't say such nonsense, ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Shirley spat out with a grin, then kissed his chin.

“Bosile, you—” Huang Taiji’s eyes were serious, and he hesitated as if he wanted to say something.

"Sir, please take a bath and change your clothes first. Today we'll have boiled fish, sour soup mutton, tomahawk steak, and shumai!"

Sherry was too lazy to think about his dilemma and simply recited the names of the dishes.

"Good!" Huang Taiji pinched her face again and took her to bathe.

Sherry was selecting the servants in the manor.

That guy who runs errands for Zhe Zhe is pretty good.

People should always reciprocate, shouldn't they?

Loge returned at this moment and arranged for servants to deliver lunch to his beloved teacher.

The mother and son sat together discussing folk tales about spirits and monsters in the mountains and fields.

When Huang Taiji came out, he was extremely grateful that he had found a teacher for Loge.

"What has Loge been learning lately?"

"Greetings, Father! The Master told his son about the long history and human nature of the Han people." Loge immediately switched modes, calmly bowing and replying.

"Really? It's rare that he's satisfied with you too!" Huang Taiji nodded slightly.

"Is he some kind of big shot? Could he be more powerful than me?" Shirley thought she had flattered him quite well.

Huang Taiji was indeed very pleased!

"Mr. Qin is very talented and loves to travel and experience different places and cultures. We met by chance. Actually, the master invited him to be a staff member in the mansion, but he refused. Therefore, the master recommended him to Loge. As for whether Loge will satisfy him, that is only Loge's business!"

Huang Taiji looked at Loge, as if he had remembered something.

"Ah, what a wonderful boy!" Sherry couldn't help but stroke his smooth bald head, but stopped halfway through. "Wait, where's Hauge?"

Huang Taiji smiled and glanced at her: "Remember now?"

Sydney:……

Sherry was a little embarrassed.

"He'll arrive in a couple of days, saying he's prepared gifts for you!" Huang Taiji said, then sat down with a flourish and began to eat.

Sherry served the food to the father and son, and then ate a few bites herself.

The image of a sickly beauty must still be maintained.

So Shirley watched Huang Taiji eat with bated breath.

It's probably because of the military campaigns that Huang Taiji ate so quickly.

The two people beside him, one big and one small, watched him eat with great interest.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart whenever he saw Xue Li's appearance.

I've never felt that way before.

Even when they were close in the past, they still maintained a certain distance.

Right now...

Huang Taiji gripped Xue Li's hand tightly under the table.

He adored Sherry's complete dependence on him, even though he knew better than anyone else that...

What does it mean when expectations are placed on others?

So while indulging in those unfamiliar emotions, he constantly reminded himself: now that I've fulfilled her feelings, I'll be doing right by her in the future.

Sherry had no idea what he was planning.

After all, she had her own little schemes.

Therefore, for her, those loves and hates were irrelevant.

Shirley is very dedicated to her son's future and the dragon's aura.

Two people with their own ulterior motives cleverly reached a tacit understanding.

Loge sensed something was wrong, but he was inexperienced and young.

So I just made a mental note of it, and then obediently put down my chopsticks and took my leave.

But Zhe Zhe, who lives in the other courtyard, has no idea.

Even though she never expected love from the beginning, the sight of her husband being intimate with another woman still caused her great inner turmoil.

After all, she had been married to Huang Taiji for five years, but they had never been that close.

She also understood in her heart that a respectful and harmonious marital relationship was considered the best possible.

She couldn't help but get angry, and when she got back, she started to have a headache.

Huang Taiji was completely unaware of all that; he was currently cuddling with Xue Li.

Sherry thought to herself, "This is the right way to show favoritism."

Such lavish favor is befitting of an ending as fleeting as fireworks.

Thinking about it this way, Sherry became even more smug!

I'm not worried at all about Zhe Zhe going crazy!

After all, the common characteristics of Borjigit women are calmness, patience, and forbearance; and of course, they are also adept at producing daughters as numerous as candied hawthorns.

Huang Taiji visited Zhe Zhe the next day.

After dealing with political affairs, he came to Sherry's courtyard again that night.

After struggling with Huang Taiji, Shirley, still weak and delicate, muttered that she wanted to go for a stroll in the city.

Huang Taiji agreed!

Two days later, as Sherry walked down the bustling street, she vaguely recalled the same place and the same chaotic era.

Her windfall was—erotic art.

To be honest, she has mastered many poses, techniques, and methods, something she hasn't done in a long time.

Moreover, for her now, this thing is more like a mirror, a source of amusement.

Sherry was puzzled. Why would those people spend money on erotic pictures instead of weapons and armor?

With this thought, Sherry instantly opened the door to a whole new world!

She can make sex toys and sexy underwear!

Find a skilled carpenter to make male and female nude models, and then make accessories, clothes, various small toys, and clothing in various styles for men and women...

Tsk tsk tsk, the more I think about it, the more beautiful Sherry seems!

She's such a smart and beautiful woman!

At the very least, the pleasure that gay men experience can be guided!

Some of the soldiers and scoundrels in the province were taking advantage of respectable women; let them deal with it internally.

Well, that's a great deed, congratulations!

Sherry hurriedly took out her little notebook and wrote it down.

Huang Taiji felt inexplicably frustrated when he saw that she didn't have anything she liked.

Send your men to search for it in the library!

The drawbacks of war have already become apparent, with many people displaced.

There are many homeless beggars on the streets.

Huang Taiji noticed her gaze, but didn't say anything at the time.

However, he then ordered the army not to harm ordinary civilians.

Of course, "rebels" don't count!

Sherry didn't say anything at the time, but called Log to discuss countermeasures.

Since Huang Taiji still had people around Loge, he could only take in some clever little boys.

The other women and children signed contracts and went to work in the factory!
