Inside the room, Ling Feng nestled in Su Qinghe's arms as usual. He unexpectedly missed her after not seeing her for several days.
"How have you been these past few days, my lady?"
Ling Feng wrapped his arms around Su Qinghe's waist, pressed his face against her chest, and squinted his eyes comfortably.
He had just told her about his plans at home over the past few days, and now it was his turn to ask her.
Su Qinghe was somewhat surprised by Ling Feng's sudden closeness.
"What? Now you realize how good I am? You only miss me this much when I'm not around?"
Su Qinghe lowered her head and breathed hot air into the man's ear.
But Ling Feng's answer this time was very straightforward. "I've already given birth to your daughter and raised your children, isn't it only natural that I miss you?"
His tone was self-righteous, and Su Qinghe nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's how it should be."
Receiving a satisfactory answer from the woman, Ling Feng was in a good mood and began urging Su Qinghe to tell him about what had happened on the mountain.
Ling Cheng and Su Wangyou, the two little ones, slept in the next room with Xiao Ying, so they didn't bother to keep their voices down when they spoke.
Su Qinghe tightened her grip on the man's waist and began to softly recount what had happened to her over the past few days.
Ling Feng listened attentively, but when he heard about what happened inside Lingyan Temple, he suddenly looked up and interrupted Su Qinghe.
"What's wrong?" Su Qinghe asked him with a smile.
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"What kind of little monk are you talking about? What's his name? What does he look like?"
"You spent four whole days in the same room with him? He even made your bed? And before you left, you even told him to come to your house if he wanted meat?"
Ling Feng's expression was not good. "Going out to suppress the rebels has turned into a romantic affair for you!"
Seeing Ling Feng's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees, Su Qinghe touched her nose in bewilderment.
"What are you saying? I was just acting expediently in a crisis. At the time, the temple was full of Luo Pinzheng's soldiers looking for me."
"Besides, he's a monk, not as filthy as you think. Your wife isn't one of those shameless lechers."
Su Qinghe spoke with conviction, but when she looked at Ling Feng, he gave her an expression that said, "If I still believe you're a gentleman, then I'm a fool."
Su Qinghe couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, still unwilling to let the topic drop easily.
"Since you know he is a monk, why did you still try to persuade him to eat meat? Don't tell me it was to satisfy his curiosity, I don't believe it."
Ling Feng wasn't as easily fooled as the others; even Su Qinghe's face was practically frozen from smiling, and she still couldn't coax him.
If she had known this man was so jealous, she wouldn't have brought this up...
Su Qinghe felt extremely remorseful.
"Okay, don't be jealous. No matter how many people are in your family, I will still love you as always."
Su Qinghe patted Ling Feng's back reassuringly, "I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"
Ling Feng felt a little awkward. "...I'm not jealous, it's just that he's a monk, and a wife shouldn't..."
Seeing that Ling Feng only spoke halfway through his sentence, but still clearly disagreed, Su Qinghe deliberately sighed.
"Sigh, I should have brought the little monk back with me. That way, you could see what kind of person he really is and explain things to me."
Ling Feng became even angrier upon hearing this, burying his head in Su Qinghe's arms like an ostrich. Su Qinghe was amused by his reaction.
"Okay, I'll be more careful from now on and promise not to get involved with other women, is that alright?"
Seeing Ling Feng turn away awkwardly without saying a word, Su Qinghe deliberately put on a stern face and her voice became cold.
She removed her hands from Ling Feng's waist.
"If you get angry again, I won't try to appease you."
Ling Feng felt a pang of panic. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and snuggled back into Su's arms. His voice sounded muffled.
"Then you should stay away from other men in the future."
After a while, he looked up at Su Qinghe's face and, afraid that she would think he was petty, quickly added a sentence.
"...It's not that I'm jealous, but your other men would be hurt too...especially Ji Qingyu, you should know his temperament..."
"Also, that monk was with you after all... Although no one knows, it's a matter of a man's chastity. If he wants you to take responsibility, I certainly won't say anything..."
Okay~
Su Qinghe readily agreed, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
Little brat, it's fine if you're jealous, but you have to drag the others into it.
Ji Qingyu, it has to be said, Ling Feng has indeed found himself a very good shield.
But will Su Qinghe deliberately restrain herself because of his words?
The answer is, of course, impossible.
As the saying goes, when fate comes, you can't stop it. How could Su Qinghe be the kind of person who would wrong herself?
They will definitely be sad, but the men here are taught from a young age to put their wives first, so she can just coax them.
Besides, she's been so good to them, so what complaints could they possibly have?
Su Qinghe thought to herself with unusual narcissism.
Outside the window, the moon quietly climbed to the treetops, casting a silvery glow. Inside, the two slept in each other's arms, enjoying the peaceful night.
...
The next day, Su Qinghe slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
After several days of being on edge, I feel a bit lethargic now that I've relaxed.
After the two families had breakfast together in the main hall, Qin Anmin hurriedly went to the military camp.
She said she was going to send some people up the mountain again, since behind that big iron gate were not only the leaders of Tianhe County, but also many from neighboring counties.
Luo Pinzheng didn't take them with him when he went to Lingyan Temple, and he doesn't know if they are still there now.
