Chapter 407 Who has he truly protected?
Chen Shu swallowed hard, still filled with utter admiration for his master. If anyone was truly valiant, it was his master. He even dared to lock up General Li!
But then he glanced at the door behind him and said, "But, Master, this little lock shouldn't be able to hold General Li back, right?"
Chi Heng shoved the bowl of water into Chen Shu's hands, then rushed to Li Rong's house and, without a word, unlocked it.
The house was completely empty; there was no sign of anyone there.
Chi Heng gritted her teeth and said, "Useless! Useless! You don't even know how to gnaw on a cooked duck, and you actually let it fly away!"
Chen Shu leaned closer: "What do you mean, Master? Who's the gigolo?"
The next second, Chi Heng looked over with a gloomy expression.
As expected, Chen Shu got a hard kick to the butt.
"You idiot, how did I end up with such a moron by my side!"
Chen Shu rubbed his bottom, feeling wronged: "Master, are you going to squeeze in with me tonight?"
"Squeeze! Squeeze my ass!"
The next second, Chen Shu suffered another serious injury to his buttocks. He rubbed his buttocks as he ran towards the guest room on the far right: "Then this servant will go and take your things back to the general's room."
Having said that, he darted into the house like a rabbit.
That's great! The master doesn't have to share a room with him anymore, and he finally doesn't have to get scolded.
A question popped into my head: Will my master scold General Li if he sleeps in the same bedroom as him?
If General Li gets angry, he'll probably hit someone, right?
If I get beaten up by my master... hehe cough cough, that wouldn't be good.
After using up all the clean water in the bucket, Li Rong had no more water to use. He then got up, let out a breath, tidied himself up, and went out.
When they returned to the room, they found the door lock was already open. Li Rong tiptoed in and lay down beside Chi Heng, fully clothed. To avoid waking her, she moved very quietly.
"Li Rong, are you out of your mind?!"
Chi Heng, who had been lying obediently on the bed, suddenly sat up, grinding her teeth as she looked at Li Rong: "Where's your wife? You put her back in her room? You...you...you don't go to sleep with your beautiful wife, but instead come looking for a stinky man like me? Admittedly, I do have outstanding looks, excellent character, and remarkable talent."
Li Rong was startled at first, then lay down and rubbed her temples: "Stop, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"I said, why don't you go find your sister-in-law! She's a woman, and she's already so proactive! How can you be so spineless!"
Chi Heng's face turned red with anger.
Li Rong remained noncommittal, only asking, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Still sleeping? How can I possibly sleep?" Chi Heng gritted her teeth. "No, I'm asking you, are you out of your mind or something?"
After saying this, he suddenly glanced at Li Rong. This was the first time in many years that Chi Heng suspected his brother had some kind of illness.
"Hey, given our friendship, I, as your older brother, have to say a few words to you. Don't hide your ailment from seeing a doctor. Although your sister-in-law is your wife, she's also a doctor. Let her treat you; it shouldn't be too difficult, and no one else will know... Waaah!"
The next second, Chi Heng's mouth was stuffed.
Li Rong finally had some peace and quiet, so he lay down, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes to rest.
Chi Heng angrily took the thing out of her mouth, only to find it was a steamed bun covered in dirt. She spat "Pui, pui, pui!" for a while, pointed at Li Rong, and said with exasperation, "I've wasted all my energy! I've given my charm to a blind man!"
Li Rong closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.
"I'm really fed up with you. You're about to leave again, and you're not even urging me to have a baby. You two haven't even consummated your marriage yet, Li Rong, aren't you being a bit too humiliating?"
As Chi Heng continued rambling on, she suddenly paused, "Hey, do you have some other ideas? Let me tell you, you can't have your cake and eat it too! Although your wife's background isn't good, she's more than a match for you, Li Rong. Don't tell me you're still thinking about that Zhao Xiyue. Let me tell you, Li Rong, get your head straight. It's your wife who's been through thick and thin with you, and she's the one who saved your life. That Zhao Xiyue is a black-hearted bastard. If you have any other thoughts about returning to the capital, I advise you to get rid of them as soon as possible! I've seen what your wife is like. If you ever wrong her, I'll break your legs and bring you back to apologize to her!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Rong was so angry that he laughed. "That day will never come. If I really wrong Anuan, I won't need you. I'll just slit my own throat, okay?"
Chi Heng then let out a sigh of relief: "That's more like it."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if this kid really had ulterior motives, he wasn't confident he could deal with him.
He still has some conscience.
"But why is that?" Chi Heng tugged at Li Rong again: "Don't think I'm being nosy, but you should actually do something decent. The kids are waiting for their little brothers and sisters, when will you ever be able to do that? Are you really sick?"
Li Rong covered his ears, but Chi Heng pulled them away the next second.
"I'm asking you, what is it all for?"
Li Rong took a deep breath: "Why haven't you returned to the capital yet? Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?"
Chi Heng curled her lip in disdain: "Let him blame me if he wants, does he think he can slit my throat?"
Li Rong: "You should get up tomorrow and hurry back to the capital to report. After all, the Emperor is still waiting. Two imperial edicts have been issued. We are all getting old, and you can't be as ignorant as before. Even if the Emperor intends to protect you, there are still people watching you."
Chi Heng pouted: "Protective? Who has he ever truly protected?"
He paused halfway through his sentence, seemingly finding it uninteresting, and waved his hand, saying, "Why talk about him? It's just annoying. Let's talk about you having a baby!"
“Aheng.” Li Rong suddenly sighed helplessly, “Given my current situation, all of these things you’re talking about are just wishful thinking.”
Li Rong's voice seemed to carry a sigh as he slowly said, "I haven't helped her much at home, but at least I shouldn't have made her suffer. If in the future..."
"Forget it, we'll deal with the future later. Right now, you really should go back. At least find out Xiao Yuanshan's whereabouts. Zhao Xiuyuan isn't the real threat; the real danger is Xiao Yuanshan using this as an excuse to cause trouble."
"Aheng, we cannot fight a battle without preparation."
Chi Heng's lips moved several times, but in the end, each time it turned into a long sigh: "Yes, for people like us, it's truly a luxury."
He gave a wry smile, then pouted, "I really owe you something. I haven't had enough of your food yet. If you successfully overturn the case and we kill Xiao Yuanshan, your poison will be cured, and my revenge will be complete. I won't be in the capital anymore; I'll just build an identical house next to yours."
As Chi Heng spoke, his dark pupils sparkled with starlight: "When the time comes, I'll want this soft chair and these beautiful, clear windows too. Then I'll bring a bunch of beautiful wives and concubines to your house for meals every day. If we have a bunch of chubby babies, it will be so wonderful."
Li Rong closed his eyes: "Sleep, you can have anything in your dreams. Still thinking about concubines? Let's get married first. I don't know how you have the nerve to teach me when you don't even have a wife yourself."
midnight.
Li Rong's face was flushed.
"Ah Nuan, stop it. You've been touching me for so long, take it off now!"
A dazed Chi Heng asked, "Huh? Who touched my hand?"
Li Rong: "!!!"
Then, he kicked out.
Chi Heng, kicked out of bed: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Li Rong frantically rubbed his belly: "Anuan, I'm not clean anymore, waaaaah!"
