"My husband..."
Nestled in Jiang Ming's arms, Chen Ermei pouted and said, "I didn't mean to force you... You've been busy with government affairs and handling matters concerning the King and the palace lately, so I didn't dare to say anything... But, you should at least let me know what's going on in this household, right? I... am, after all, your concubine, aren't I? Husband, where do I stand in your heart?"
"puff!"
Jiang Ming smiled and asked in return, "Where do you think you rank in my heart?"
Chen Ermei lowered her head in self-consciousness, twisting the hem of her clothes as she said, "I should be last, after all... your wives are either grand consorts or princesses, while a commoner like me, with a scar on my forehead... I'd definitely be last..."
"Pfft! Why are you so insecure? Fine, if you want to sort them, I'll sort them for you..."
Jiang Ming took a sip of tea and pondered, "Remember this! Your sister, Chen Damei, will always be number one in my heart! She is my wife, and that will never change! Don't be petty and jealous, saying that you should have been my wife originally, but your family didn't keep their word... As for the second one, it should be Xue'er. Although she is a princess, your sister married me first, so she can only be second. As for you, you're third..."
Jiang Ming paused for a moment and continued, "As for the two principal consorts of the Xianbei, they are ranked fourth and fifth, while this eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom can only be ranked sixth!"
"What? Sixth brother?"
Chen Ermei looked on incredulously: "Husband, she's the eldest princess! You want her to be ranked sixth? Do you think she'd be happy about that? If she heard you say that, she'd be furious to death!"
"Pfft! Haha!"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "I've always believed in first come, first served, regardless of rank... Besides, I might marry someone even more distinguished in the future..."
"What?"
Chen Ermei asked in astonishment, "Husband, six wives aren't enough for you? How many more do you want to marry?"
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming chuckled as he unbuttoned Chen Ermei's blouse, slipped his hand inside, and said with a wicked grin, "The more the merrier..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly emerged from behind the curtain, drew a knife, and pointed it at Jiang Ming's throat. Chen Ermei quickly stood up from Jiang Ming's arms and blocked the person's knife with her hand!
"Grand Consort Dugu, don't be impulsive!" Chen Ermei hurriedly tried to stop her.
"Get out of my way!"
Dugu Yan kicked Chen Ermei so hard she fell over, then pressed the knife against Jiang Ming's neck.
"Faithless man!"
Dugu Yan's pupils narrowed to two dots as she cursed, "I'm guarding the border for you in Gucheng, and what do you do? You're in Jicheng playing with women every day for a whole month at a time, and you don't even care about your home anymore!"
"Sister Dugu, don't be impulsive!"
"Shut up! I'm not as spineless as you!" Dugu Yan cursed.
When Jiang Ming saw that it was Dugu Yan, he was first surprised, but he immediately realized what was going on!
This must be... she came directly to Jicheng, and Chen Ermei opened the door for her...
At first, he found it strange.
Chen Ermei is usually quite obedient and compliant. Even if she feels wronged, she always swallows her anger and keeps it to herself.
Unlike today, I won't be able to discuss relationship issues with myself so frankly!
This must be because after Dugu Yan arrived, the two women became close friends, sharing their experiences and becoming besties. That's why the second sister kept probing her, asking Jiang Ming how he ranked and arranged his women.
Although Chen Ermei was ranked third, she was happy!
After all, that was how the family was organized before, and the servants all called her the Third Madam.
But Dugu Yan was ranked fourth or fifth, which the proud Empress Dowager of the Tuoba tribe could not tolerate!
He was about to draw his knife and curse Jiang Ming and his entire family!
In fact, with Jiang Ming's skills, capturing Dugu Yan would be a piece of cake...
But he knew that Dugu Yan definitely wouldn't kill him; she was just throwing a tantrum like an old woman!
"Tsk!"
Jiang Ming clicked his tongue and said, "Yan'er! Kill me if you want... I'll die without regrets if I can die by your blade!"
"snort!"
Dugu Yan was so angry that her chest heaved. She asked, "I'll give you one more chance. Answer again, what number did I send?"
"cough......"
Jiang Ming sighed deeply: "Fourth brother, he'll be ranked after second sister..."
"you?"
Dugu Yan was so angry that her eyes turned red. She cursed, "I was a high-ranking concubine, and I married you with my children, servants, cattle, and sheep. How could you only rank me fourth?"
"no way!"
Jiang Ming shrugged helplessly: "First come, first served. Don't you people on the grasslands also value this?"
"You're shameless!"
Dugu Yan was furious and slapped Jiang Ming across the face: "I had no idea you had another wife besides Murong Xue?"
Seeing that Dugu Yan was truly angry, her eyes filled with tears, Jiang Ming stopped arguing with her, snatched the knife, and pulled her into a tight embrace...
"Let me go!"
Dugu Yan struggled desperately, but Jiang Ming was stronger and pushed her to the ground, then began to undress her.
"You bastard! Let me go!"
"Hmm!"
Jiang Ming didn't care about any of that. He pressed Dugu Yan down and forcefully kissed her.
Dugu Yan tried to pull her mouth away, not wanting Jiang Ming to kiss her, but Jiang Ming forcefully held her face and kissed her...
"Second sister, go and close the door, don't let anyone in!"
"oh......"
Chen Ermei was stunned by the scene before her. She quickly walked out of the study and closed the door behind her!
"You bastard! I'll never let you touch me again!"
Dugu Yan struggled desperately, kicking her legs back and forth, but Jiang Ming ultimately succeeded...
Sometimes women are like that; explaining things to them is useless.
A strong, loving relationship can sometimes solve many problems!
"You beast, be gentle! I'm carrying your child..."
Dugu Yan saw Jiang Ming using brute force like an animal and groaned in pain.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming was so shocked that he gasped!
"You found out? When did you find out?"
Dugu Yan said, "I had a doctor examine me a few days ago... It was just one and a half months ago, and I haven't had my period since. It's been more than half a month late, and I figured I was probably pregnant. The doctor checked, and sure enough, I am!"
At this point, I, Dugu Yan, looked at Jiang Ming with resentment in my eyes and said, "How cruel you are! I'm so old, risking my life to bear your children, and what do you do? You married the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom? If I hadn't come looking for you, would you have never seen me again?"
