My wife has a secret

Chapter 241 Night Attack
Qin Shuying's fair and delicate face showed a hint of amusement. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she said, "I just don't know... when my sister hung Shuying up to teach her a lesson, was it intentional or unintentional?"

Xu Qing, who thought that his family was harmonious and the atmosphere between his wife and concubine was harmonious, was dumbfounded.

He was originally picking up the farthest dish, and at this moment, his arm was just across the middle, blocking the two of them.

There is no doubt that Qin Shuying brought up the old matter again, referring to the incident in Suzhou when she was used as bait by Shen Shuangxu to lure the White Lotus Sect out of the cave.

But isn't this just looking for trouble?
As the nominal head of the family and the "good husband" of all the women, he was now being roasted on the fire.

"Well, I think that matter..."

Xu Qing put the dish into the bowl and was about to say a few words to express his opinion, but he was frightened by Qin Shuying's charming face.

The latter narrowed her eyes, and there was a faint layer of frost on her pink mask, as if warning Xu Qing not to cause trouble at this stage.

"This dish is really delicious, the meat is plump, fragrant and not greasy."

Xu Qing changed the topic, pretending that he had not spoken just now, and the attention at the dinner table shifted to Shen Shuangxu.

Facing the gazes from all around, Shen Shuangxu, with a cold expression, responded without hesitation: "It is because your actions in Suzhou were not very peaceful."

Except for Mingzhu, no one present had thought about why Shen Shuangxu's response would be so direct. They had not considered at all how Qin Shuying would feel when hearing this.

But because of this, Qin Shuying lost her temper towards this straightforward personality, and the little bit of resentment that had accumulated before also dissipated.

She didn't really want to offend Shen Shuangxu, but wanted to use the old incident to test Shen Shuangxu's temper.

There was not much contact between the two. Their previous meetings were mainly for Shen Shuangxu to investigate cases or to rectify the family tradition. In terms of life alone, the two sides were strangers.

Considering that they will be living under the same roof in the future, testing the bottom line of the legal wife is also a trick of living in a wealthy family.

"Thank you for your teachings, sister."

After Qin Shuying finished speaking, she continued to call Cui'er behind her to urge the kitchen to serve the dishes, and introduced the subsequent dishes that had been carefully prepared.

"The next chef is a former famous chef in the palace, who specializes in Sichuan cuisine from the Xiahe Gang. The Sichuan cuisine cooked by him is full of flavors and tastes. Sister, you can try some and tell me what you think."

Shen Shuangxu didn't take the previous events to heart at all. She would pick up whatever Qin Shuying said.

Gradually, her complexion became rosy and her eyes became shiny.

"Delicious!"

Xu Qing felt that this scene seemed familiar, where had he seen it before... After a while, he remembered that when he and Shen Shuangxu passed by the post station, the other party also glowed with excitement because of a bowl of noodles.

Now that I think about it, this guy must be a foodie, but he was overshadowed by her cold appearance and amazing talent.

Soon, the girls at the table seemed to get along well with each other because of the delicious meal. They started to smile happily while talking and chatting about interesting family matters.

Although Qin Shuying and Lu Wanhe were talking most of the time, Shen Shuangxu would also interject a word or two in between, making everyone seem very happy.

The only one who seemed a little out of place was Xu Qing.

He coughed several times and tried to interrupt, but he could never find the right space and time, and his attempt ended in vain.

Xiaohuan stood behind her young master, taking in the entire scene, and looked at him with eyes full of sympathy.

……

Everyone was happy, except Xu Qing, and the family dinner ended in laughter.

They each went back to their rooms. Xu Qing lay in his room for a while when he heard Xiaohuan coming in with a washbasin. She wet the towel and wrung it out, as if she was going to wash him.

However, after waiting for a long time, Xu Qing did not feel the warm touch.

"What about people?"

Xu Qing opened his eyes and happened to see Xiaohuan placing the washbasin aside and waiting at the door with a respectful look.

Wasn't I lying on the bed? Who was the little girl bowing to when she was standing outside the door?

The next second, the question Xu Qing was thinking about had an answer.

"Well, there's nothing for you to do here. Go to my yard and rest with Yang Liu and the others... I will take care of the Marquis tonight."

The voice outside the house is like silk, smooth and rich in texture. It is like fine yarn, lingering softly in the air, making people irresistible and feeling good about it.

Hearing this unique voice, Xu Qing knew that the person coming was Qin Shuying.

However, what puzzled him was that after the family dinner, it was already late at night, why did the other party go around in circles to look for him?
"Yes, slaves obey."

In theory, the Fourth House did not have the right to command Xiaohuan, but when Xu Qing was granted the title and received this palace, he basically handed it over to Qin Shuying to manage and govern.

Usually, Qin Shuying is the most senior person here. Many new servants who were recruited thought that Qin Shuying was the mistress of the mansion, so they were extremely respectful to her.

After Xiaohuan left, a slender shoe stepped into the house.

After attending the family dinner, Qin Shuying deliberately changed into a skirt and embroidered shoes, and wore hairpins and pearl flowers on her temples, dressing like an ordinary girl.

If she was accompanied by a few close friends, everyone would probably think she was out for an outing or shopping for new clothes.

With a slight "creaky" sound, Qin Shuying locked the doors and windows and inserted the bolt.

"Ahem, Shuying, if you have something to say, let's talk. Why are you closing the door..."

Xu Qing looked at Qin Shuying who walked into the room without saying hello to him, and immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

In the dim candlelight, Qin Shuying's shadow became longer and longer on the wall.

Suddenly, she turned half of her beautiful face and smiled at Xu Qing.

This horrifying scene almost made Xu Qing stand up and run away on the spot.

It’s a pity that there are no windows around the inner room, and there is no escape route at all.

"My husband, do you still remember the golden silkworm love Gu from Yunnan?"

After listening to Qin Shuying talking about this matter, Xu Qing finally found some impressions in his mind.

He thought and said, "I remember...wasn't it the poisonous insect presented by the King of Yundian?"

"Since my husband remembered, why didn't you come to look for Shuying the first thing you did when you returned to the capital?"

After Qin Shuying finished saying this, a hint of strangeness appeared in her voice, which had been trying hard to remain calm.

This strangeness carries three parts of madness and two parts of obsession.

Xu Qing obviously sensed something was wrong and then he remembered that the golden silkworm love Gu was an extremely rare insect that completely exploited the sexual desire between men and women to control and restrict each other.

As long as the mother Gu dies with her, the child Gu will also madly devour her internal organs and not let Qin Shuying survive alone.

These are the things Xu Qing knew when he was planting the Gu.

During the time in Liao, he forgot another thing about the Golden Silkworm Love Gu, which is... even if the mother Gu is not dead, the child Gu will stimulate the host's lust and make him lustful.

This characteristic of the sub-Gu is mainly to make the host unable to control the impulse in his heart and desperately look for the mother Gu.

But knowing Xu Qing's whereabouts, Qin Shuying could only maintain her daily life and use her superb skills to forcibly suppress her inner impulses.

Of course, this method of quenching thirst by looking at plums can only solve the immediate problem. The lust stimulated by the golden silkworm love poison has accumulated more and more over time, almost breaking Qin Shuying. It is better to say that her current state is not far away.

"Did my husband do this unintentionally or on purpose?"

Qin Shuying looked at Xu Qing who suddenly realized something, and the same playful smile she had at the dining table appeared on her face.

She walked from the door to the head of the bed, and the sound of dripping water was heard along the way.

Xu Qing looked in the direction of the voice and couldn't help swallowing.

This was because Qin Shuying was not wearing too much under her skirt. Her slender and round long legs swayed forward as her body moved, shining brightly under the candlelight, like jade.

The fineness of her skin was shocking, and it was covered with a fine layer of sweat.

"I forgot. I really forgot."

Xu Qing raised his hand and was about to explain the situation to Qin Shuying, but the other party stared at his pupils.

"My husband is so mean. He knew Shuying couldn't wait any longer, but he still put Shuying aside and dealt with the affairs of the court... Doesn't my husband think that Shuying is going crazy?"

As Qin Shuying spoke, she bit her teeth and a few strands of hair fell loose on her cheeks.

She moved closer and closer to Xu Qing, and on the surface seemed to be ready to get close to Xu Qing, but her hand had already touched her belt.

Xu Qing knew that he would not be able to sleep tonight.

"Is my husband here?"

There was a crisp knock on the door from outside the house.

There is something simple and rustic about the voice, and you can tell it comes from the mouth of Lu Wanhe from the third room.

The voice of her best friend briefly awakened Qin Shuying's last bit of clarity, forcing her to suppress the spreading confusion and desire and take a deep breath.

"Send Wan He away quickly."

After glaring at Xu Qing, Qin Shuying quietly hid in a cabinet beside her when he got up and opened the door.

When Xu Qing opened the door, he saw a face with clear contours, as white and delicate as fine porcelain.

The corners of the other person's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of tenderness and kindness.

"Is there a problem?"

Xu Qing knew that Qin Shuying would not be able to remain conscious for long. If she rushed out of the closet and lay on him at this moment, his image and character would be ruined.

By then, not to mention falling in love with Lu Wanhe, I would probably be disliked by her.

We must not let her find out that there is someone else in the room!

"My husband just came back yesterday, and he has been busy all night. He must be exhausted."

Lu Wanhe's voice was gentle, and her eyes were full of affection and indescribable sweetness when she looked at Xu Qing.

Although Xu Qing enjoyed the current atmosphere, he felt overwhelmed when he thought that Qin Shuying was hiding in the cabinet in the room, and he smiled awkwardly.

"I'm not tired. I do this for the country and the people. It's my duty."

"My husband, please don't act tough in front of Wan He. Wan He knows that my husband often takes on things all by himself...Wan He was protected too well by my husband before, so she was slow to realize many things and didn't understand the contributions my husband made."

On Lu Wanhe's dignified and beautiful face, a pair of beautiful eyes were crystal clear and shining brightly.

To be honest, before tonight, Xu Qing had never thought that he would be so popular.

However, this welcome comes at the wrong time, and every extra second carries the risk of a sudden disaster.

"Wan He is not like the first and second wives, who understand military tactics and can relieve the worries of her husband outside. She is also not as smart and capable as Sister Shu Ying, who knows how to manage the income and expenditure details of the Marquis' Mansion and various industries."

Lu Wanhe picked up the lunch box in his hand, and fragrant hot steam came out of it.

Her cheeks flushed, and she tried to suppress her shame as she said, "So Wan He can only take care of her husband in his daily life and do her part... Earlier at the family dinner, I saw that my husband didn't eat much, so I steamed some cakes in the kitchen to satisfy his craving."

"Ok?"

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and felt touched.

Although there are many kinds of dishes in family banquets, they are basically all signature dishes, and they pay great attention to the blank space and taste.

Thanks to Qin Shuying's introduction and Shen Shuangxu's tasting, most of the dishes on the table went into Shen Shuangxu's stomach.

Xu Qing felt empty both in his stomach and in his mind.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wanhe would notice this and thoughtfully prepare pastries for him in the evening to satisfy his hunger.

At this moment, he just wanted to say, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

But at this critical moment, Xu Qing had to suppress his rich emotions and pretended to be dumb and said, "Thank you... It's nothing, you can go back first."

"My husband, do you think Wan He is doing this in vain?"

Facing Lu Wanhe's pitiful, tearful gaze and self-pity, Xu Qing suddenly felt a headache.

If I reject the other person now, it seems that it will also ruin his or her good impression.

"Not really..."

Lu Wanhe's expression eased slightly, and she asked softly, "My husband, do you think that the cakes made by Wanhe are not to your liking? Why don't you go find the chefs for the evening and ask them to make some more delicious food."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Facing Lu Wanhe's relentless pressure, Xu Qing had no choice but to give in and said, "Then I'll take it back to the house to eat?"

"Ah."

Hearing Xu Qingsong's words, Lu Wanhe laughed out loud and responded.

She followed in carrying the lunch box and placed it on the table.

After opening the lid, Lu Wanhe carefully laid out the layers of pastries.

"Although they are not as exquisite as those made by famous chefs, Wan He tried a few herself and they are all sweet and delicious. My husband, please try them."

Xu Qing glanced at the cabinet unconsciously and asked tentatively: "Wan He, it's late at night..."

"Thank you for your concern, husband. After you finish eating, Wanhe will take the lunch box back and go back to sleep."

Lu Wanhe smiled slightly and said very considerately: "I knocked on the gate for a long time but didn't see Xiaohuan. She should have gone back to rest. It's the same for Wanhe to do these trivial things."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Xu Qing had to give up the idea of ​​persuading the other party.

He hurriedly stuffed the cakes on the table into his mouth and ate them all like a starving ghost.

Lu Wanhe was watching from the side in amazement, and asked in surprise: "Husband, what are you doing..."
