Chapter 143 The Note
Zhou Jin did not want to endure the fear and helplessness of being outside the delivery room again.
I didn't have time to think about having a daughter.
He was ushered away by his advisors and think tank as Li Qu urged him to return home as soon as possible.
The kind that doesn't come home all night.
At the beginning of Hai hour.
Li Qu was doing needlework on the couch, very seriously.
Xu Mama advised, "Madam, be careful not to hurt your eyes. It's the same if you do it tomorrow."
Li Qu earnestly asked her subordinate, "Can't sleep, Granny? Do you miss home?"
Granny Xu moved a round stool and sat down next to Li Qu.
"When I first arrived at your residence, I thought about it day and night."
"It only gets a little better when I hold Third Master."
“Later, month after month, every time I brought money back, they treated me like a god of wealth, and their feelings for me grew weaker and weaker.”
"Nowadays, it's more comfortable to stay at home than to go home."
Li Qu: "Has Grandpa not come to see you?"
Xu Mama smiled at Li Qu: "He has two concubines, why is he looking at me?"
Li Qu stopped what she was doing and looked up.
Their eyes met.
Xu Mama smiled and said, "I already told Madam."
"Whenever a peasant becomes rich, he will want to take a beautiful concubine at home."
"It's none of my business anyway."
"I don't care about him either."
You will get what you seek.
She asked Li Qu, "Has Madam let go of what happened back then?"
Li Qu laughed: "What do you think, Granny?"
“Master Huichi said that you and Third Master are a ‘match made in heaven’ and that she is a person of great wisdom.”
Li Qu smiled and picked up the needle again: "From now on, I will only use this needle for him."
Granny Xu wore a warm, aunt-like smile.
"When I first met Madam, I felt that Madam and our Third Master were a match made in heaven."
“I remember you once said that I was blessed with good fortune for eight lifetimes.”
"This old servant must have misspoke. It is a blessing that Third Master was able to marry you. And for this old servant to meet Madam is a blessing that has been cultivated for a hundred years."
The master and servant chatted idly with smiles.

At dawn, the thin mist dissipated, and golden rays pierced through the clouds, illuminating the world in perfect clarity.
Li Qu does yoga on an empty stomach after waking up.
The most indispensable asset in a good marriage is oneself.
After taking a shower, it's time for routine skincare.
She spent a long time getting dressed, tying her hair up, and eating in front of the mirror.
"Granny, isn't the color of these earrings too light?"
"How about you put your hair all up in a bun to look more dignified?"
Xu Mama smiled and said, "Madam looks good no matter how she dresses up."
A woman dresses up for the man she loves.
Li Qu changed into a pair of pomegranate red earrings, but in the end, she switched back to the light pink gemstone pendant.
Finally satisfied, I got up to have my meal.
Before the meal was finished, a small note was received from Gong Pin.
The emperor said: "Third Master is about to leave Qi and head to Zhongzhou."
Zhou Jin returned that evening to say goodbye.
He leaned back on the couch, pinching his brow and closing his eyes to rest: "Aqu, you should set off back to Hezhou tomorrow."
“Xi Bao’er must miss you very much.”
"If my second sister is unable to travel far due to her health, I will send people to protect her and make sure nothing happens to her."
He did not want to leave Li Qu in Qizhou.
Separated by a river, Xiao Cong was too close to her.
Li Qu clutched the purse in her hand: "I'm worried about leaving Second Sister here alone."
Just across the river, Lin Xiaocong was too close to his second sister.
"The doctor said that if we continue the medication for two more days, my second sister's condition will improve."
"I'll go with my second sister and the others then."
Zhou Jin knew this would be the outcome.
He sat up, squinted at Li Qu, and said directly, "A-Qu, why don't you come with me?"
Li Qu put away the purse in her hand, turned it over, and tied the ribbon.
She held the purse and shook it with a smile: "My dear Jinlang, would you like my one and only love?"
Her eyes sparkled, her smile was gentle, and her voice was clear and sweet.
His somewhat depressed mood gradually faded, and he reached out to take it.
She tucked the item into her chest, smiled, leaned forward, rested her elbow on the low table, and teased him with her eyes: "Jinlang, help yourself~"
She was wearing a bathrobe, and a large expanse of her chest was exposed to his eyes as she moved.
The waves carried the purse, which surged on the crest of the wave.
The steam rising from the charcoal brazier in the room made people restless.
The upright gentleman glanced at it.
Dry mouth and throat.
He got up and walked outside.
Li Qu got off the bed, not even putting on her shoes, and took two steps after him: "You're not going to make it?"
Zhou Jin stood by the door, his eyes fixed on the maids serving inside.
Granny Xu immediately understood and quickly led her people away.
Zhou Jin closed the door, turned around and stared at Li Qu, then began to unfasten his waistband.
"Don't you know whether I'm capable or not?"
Li Qu covered her mouth and laughed so hard she was shaking.
He casually tossed away his waistband.
She was assaulted by the desire in his eyes.
Blushing, she raised her hand to cover her face, then secretly peeked at him through her fingers.
As he drew closer, she turned and ran.
He stretched out his long arm, his hot palm sliding along her waist and past her nightgown, then grabbed her other soft waist and pulled her into his arms.
He lowered his head and gently sniffed her.
"A-Qu~"
He kissed the top of her head, behind her ears, and her neck.
"Come with me to Zhongzhou."
She said softly, "I will leave before the winter solstice. I will take good care of myself."
His restless hands unconsciously tightened their grip.
She breathed softly.
He turned her over, his emotions fluctuating wildly, whether from lust or something else.
He asked you to meet him on the winter solstice!
Her fingertips slipped inside his shirt and waist, and she hugged him, gently rocking him.
"I want to invite my husband to eat 'jiao' (a type of glutinous rice dumpling) on the Winter Solstice~"
“I made it for my husband myself.”
"There are two kinds of fillings that my husband likes: mutton filling and mushroom filling."
“I will definitely leave Qizhou before the winter solstice.”
He was captivated by her soft and alluring charm, kissed her, took the purse from his mouth, and tossed it aside.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
He gradually forced her onto the bed.
"Does my husband not know?"
Zhou Jin: "The people around you aren't afraid of me anymore; they didn't tell me."
"There was also an ordinary gold hairpin, which I had sunk into the Yellow River."
Suddenly, full, satisfied.
Her toes, which were resting on the side of the bed, suddenly curled up: "Jinlang~"
"You are not allowed to take his things."
"Anything my husband gives me."
His large hand gripped her five fingers, and he pressed her hard into the soft bedding.
The bed curtains were stirred by a breath that seemed to hold back unspoken words.
A soft moan, like a song that never fades, escaped from the fluttering bed curtains.
"My husband~"
It's cold outside in winter, but warm inside in springtime.

The next day, when the man got up, she got up as well.
It was still dark when he finally gave in to her and she saw him to the door.
She tied the purse she had hastily embroidered to his waist.
"Come back safely, the children and I are waiting for you at home."
He glanced at the people around him, and when no one was looking, he cupped her face and kissed her: "Don't see him."
She glanced at him: "Can you stop spoiling the mood?"
“Mr. Feng will stay and be at your command. He will arrange for people to protect you along the way back to Hezhou.”
"If you encounter any problems, you can also discuss them with him."
"I'll also leave you five hundred personal guards, at your command."
"Once Second Sister is feeling better, we should not linger."
Li Qu asked, "Who is Mr. Feng?"
"You've seen it before."
"Hiring a government employee?"
"Yes, his courtesy name is Zifeng."
Li Qu promised, "I will set off in three days at most, so you don't need to worry about me."
How could he not worry about her?
Perhaps only men understand that kind of possessiveness.
His gaze lingered on her face, and after hesitating for a moment, Huaiqiu stepped forward to urge him on.
"My lord, the situation in Zhongzhou is urgent and cannot be delayed."
Li Qu nudged him, saying, "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I won't go out and run around."
Zhou Jin finally mounted his horse, understanding the meaning of being deeply worried.
It wouldn't be impossible to distract Xiao Cong in three days.
He has plenty of bait.
He looked back.
When she followed him out, he was the one warming her hands.
She's rubbing her hands in the cold air under the eaves.
When she saw him turn around, she quickly raised a bright smile and waved enthusiastically at him.
"Looking forward to your return~"
He straightened himself and cracked his whip on the horse.
His personal guards followed behind him, the sound of their armor breaking through the night and letting in the sunlight.
She could give up a city, but she couldn't.
"drive!"
