My wife has a secret

Chapter 245: Trouble
In response to Qin Shuying's compliment, Xiaohuan lowered her head, her pink cheeks looking like ripe apples.

"Thank you for your praise, Fourth Young Madam. Xiaohuan was just doing what she was supposed to do."

Qin Shuying hugged her exquisite and round breasts and smiled twice.

This little guy has a simple nature, and I really like him... It's a pity that Xu Qing doesn't have any extra maids around him, so he only brings Xiaohuan with him.

"Fourth Young Madam, please go in quickly. Xiaohuan will stay outside."

Xiaohuan squatted down and bowed, then lifted her skirt and ran out of the door, closing it.

She knew that the Fourth Young Lady would not come to see the Young Master for no reason, and she must be here to discuss something.

Qin Shuying's restless nature revealed itself again. As soon as she reached the door and saw the mist inside, she realized that Xu Qing was taking a bath in the bathtub.

"My Lord, are you bathing and purifying yourself? Are you preparing to... ask me to take a bath together?"

"Stop talking nonsense here."

Xu Qing originally had no evil thoughts, but after taking a quick glance at the door, he became uneasy.

It was all because Qin Shuying's figure was too exaggerated. When she walked around the screen gracefully, she brought a gust of dizzying fragrance.

Although she was only wearing a simple dress made of silk and satin, her curvy figure was perfectly displayed, with her slender waist and snow-white breasts.

With the addition of some other imagination, there are indescribable changes in the water.

"Oh, there's a snake in the Marquis' room?"

In response to Qin Shuying's sweet teasing, Xu Qing reached out and grabbed the other's sleeve, pulled her over the bathtub and into his arms.

Because the incident happened suddenly and Qin Shuying did not resist at all, almost half of her body fell into the water, pressed against Xu Qing's chest.

All of a sudden, Qin Shuying, who was used to "acting arrogantly" in the mansion, had her cheeks flushed and her nose was slightly sweaty. She said shyly, "What are you doing...it's broad daylight and the door is not closed!"

Qin Shuying's skin is smooth, not as delicate as she looks, and the fleshy parts are extremely plump.

Xu Dan simply pinched her smooth arm and felt his five fingers sinking, as if they were touching a soft ball of cotton.

"Now you know it was wrong?"

"I know... let me go."

Qin Shuying took two deep breaths and quickly broke free from Xu Qing's restraints.

There are other important things to do today, so I can't waste too much time here... Of course, the main reason is that when Xu Qing returned home a few days ago, although he had obvious external injuries, the imperial physician came to diagnose him and told the Marquis to rest well for the next month and not to have sex.

Qin Shuying propped herself up and combed her hair beside the bathtub, trying to get everything back to normal.

However, her clothes on her chest were soaked with water, and her face was also splashed with a lot of water. Her cheeks were covered with wet hair, and it was obvious that she would not be able to recover in a short time.

"Why not just close the door... Xiaohuan is very obedient and won't come in unless you tell her to."

Qin Shuying narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. She gave this pervert a cold look and scolded him, "You've just recovered from your injuries, and you're already thinking about these things. Bah... You're really not serious."

"Are you embarrassed to tell me?"

Xu Qing widened her eyes. It was obvious that she was the most active in the joyful event a few days ago.

Although the golden silkworm Gu played a role here, due to the long-term forced suppression, Qin Shuying's nature was also tainted with a hint of lust.

So those actions were also from her heart.

"Let's talk business... I came to see you today mainly because the three sisters of the Yang family caused a lot of trouble in the mansion."

"The Yang sisters?"

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, and asked with a confused look on his face: "It's not like I haven't seen them before. What can they do in the mansion? Are you thinking that I'm too idle and want to find something for me to do?"

"Do I look like such an unreasonable person?"

Seeing that Xu Qing was a little unconvinced, Qin Shuying said to him while counting on her white fingers: "Let's talk about the little sister of the Yang family, Yang Caiyun... Wan He saw that she was of the right age, so he sent her to the private school he ran in the Nie family to learn some knowledge. But it would have been better if she didn't go. On the first day of the little sister of the Yang family going to school, she beat up dozens of young masters and young ladies, causing unrest in the entire school."

"fight?"

Xu Qing was slightly stunned, because in his heart, Yang Caiyun was a good child, just a little bit playful.

"Yes, most of the students sent to the Nie Mansion Private School were relatives of the children of the Imperial College and the six ministries. As a result, this little sister Yang offended everyone. Fortunately, Wan He apologized and compensated every household, and these things were treated as children's quarrels."

Xu Qing coughed lightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Although Yang Caiyun is not very old, she is still her sister-in-law, so this account will definitely be counted on her.

Although now, relying on his aunt's reputation, most people dare not write to him to report him even if they are unhappy with him, but when the day comes that his aunt no longer values ​​them, they will suffer.

"What about the second young lady of the Yang family?"

"Yang Qin, right?"

When Qin Shuying mentioned this person, she felt so angry that her teeth itched, her pretty face turned red, and she looked fierce.

"This young lady is even more important. She was the most seriously injured when she was sent to the mansion...but after just one night, she appeared in the yard alive and kicking. She eats more than 20 steamed buns and a rack of pork for one meal."

Xu Qing was shocked when he heard this. He originally thought that the second young lady of the Yang family was just extremely strong, but he didn't expect that she was also a big eater.

No wonder they work so hard on the battlefield, it’s not in vain.

"If she said she wanted to eat more, we in the fourth house would not say anything. After all, the expenses of the mansion are all from the salary of the court, not from my own private treasury... But this lady insisted on practicing with spears. In such a large place as Koi Garden, she destroyed seven stone mountains and two walls."

"what?"

Qin Shuying stared with her beautiful eyes and gave Xu Qing a detailed calculation: "The stone mountain built by the prince was made of precious and rare stones by famous craftsmen. If you add the repair items, Yu, you can calculate how much money you have lost."

Xu Qing scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't expect that the Yang sisters moving into the Marquis' Mansion would cause so many troubles. It seemed that Qin Shuying had been busy and exhausted during the three days when he was recuperating.

The reason why no one disturbed her was because she was busy cleaning up the mess and couldn't take care of herself.

"Nowadays, no maids or servants dare to pass by the Koi Garden, because there is a loud sound of gravel breaking there every day, and stones and sharp weapons fly out from time to time... Swords and knives have no eyes, and everyone is afraid of losing their lives while walking."

"Then...what about Yang Xianning?"

After listening to this, Xu Qing had no choice but to ask about the last person's situation.

He and Yang Xianning lived in Liao for some time and knew each other's character well, and they had no bad habits.

Compared to the other two sisters, this one is the least likely to cause trouble.

"Miss her?"

Qin Shuying lowered her head to look at Xu Qing, her slender hands alternately, and she said intentionally or unintentionally: "Yes, how can anyone not be moved by someone as heroic and beautiful as Yang Xianning? I heard that... the first time she went out, she attracted a large crowd of people to watch." "Ahem, no, no."

Xu Qing's face turned slightly red after hearing what Qin Shuying said, and he quickly distanced himself from the matter.

He cared about Yang Xianning mostly out of concern, and it was not realistic to say that there was no love between men and women, but the young man who had been educated in the thoughts of the new era felt that it was enough to have Lu Wanhe as a soulmate who shared the same feelings with him in this life.

"Forget it. I don't want to get involved in your affairs with other women."

Although Xu Qing believed this, Qin Shuying had already seen through the man in front of her.

I know that he is concerned about General Yang, otherwise, why would this man in his family take such a huge risk to gather the remaining soldiers outside the city to go to the rescue.

In recent days, she also met with General Yang as a woman from the Marquis's Mansion. It can be seen that the two of them have a mutual understanding.

Here, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Xu Qing and Yang Xianning were arranged by the emperor himself when he was the empress dowager.

It is very appropriate in terms of name and logic.

"General Yang's situation is different from that of the others... You should know that the Liao army has taken the initiative to withdraw from Huangling Pass, ceded territory in exchange for peace, and moved elsewhere. The Liao Kingdom is now under attack from both the Jurchens and the Mongols, and is on the verge of collapse."

Xu Qing nodded.

The Liao Kingdom's breaking of the contract and attacking the Qi Kingdom was a gamble.

Not to mention that he suffered a defeat, even if he could not win quickly, the Jurchens and Mongols would not sit idly by and would definitely stab him in the back.

This is also why Xiao Chong always adopted extremely bold tactics when deploying troops.

If we ignore the national strength and other hidden dangers, and only compare the military strength of both sides, Xiao Chong, who holds an absolute advantage, only needs to advance slowly and fill Huangling Pass and the capital with corpses to achieve the final victory.

"But I heard from the court that the Qi army was stopped outside Huangling Pass and was forced to accept the peace treaty proposed by Liao. It seems that there was a problem at the pass and there were rotting corpses that could not be dealt with."

Xu Qing was originally wondering how the Liao Kingdom could dare to propose a peace treaty and transfer its troops to other places when it was attacked from both sides.

How could the ministers in the court swallow this humiliation? They took advantage of the Liao Kingdom's illness to destroy it.

But when he thought of the monster that was used by the Liao Kingdom to destroy the city, Xu Qing suddenly understood the whole story and his mind became clear.

The corpse was so huge that even its blood would pollute and corrode the surrounding land. The Liao army had simply buried it and dealt with it on the spot without considering the future of Huangling Pass at all.

When Xiao Chong was about to retreat, he must have sent people to dig out the body, which became an unsolvable problem.

The corpse rotted and stank inside Huangling Pass, becoming the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. The Qi army was unable to pursue the enemy and had to retreat temporarily.

Xiao Chong is a very cunning person.

If he had not encountered the more brutal White Lotus Sect, he would probably have had to fight a bloody and brutal battle to defend the city with them.

"The situation at Huangling Pass was extremely severe. The area within a hundred miles was no longer habitable. Therefore... the court sent all the common people living there to places near the capital."

Qin Shuying explained, "But those people usually only recognize the Yang family, not the imperial court. I don't know who spread the news that General Yang was sent to the Marquis' Mansion, which attracted these people to gather in front of the Guangping Marquis' Mansion, blocking three whole streets."

"Blocking three streets? What are they going to do? Rebellion?"

Xu Qing's expression changed from helplessness to disbelief. He knew how wide the road in front of his house was.

The Mansion of Marquis Guangping is located in the "rich area" of the capital city, and the streets where it is located are wide enough for several horse-drawn carriages to pass through.

These people could fill up three streets, there must be at least 1,000 or 2,000 of them.

"They protested and complained in order to support their General Yang. The Five Cities Military Department thought it was just a minor incident and did not intervene. Who would have thought that in just two days, these people came to Beijing from all over the country."

"Didn't Yang Xianning persuade them to disperse?"

"I wanted to persuade him, but didn't I say that the streets were deserted... The Yang family was well-known in the capital before, so when they heard that this person was going to show up, not only ordinary people, but even officials and businessmen came."

"I see."

Xu Qing understood that the reputation that the Yang family had accumulated on the border was already terrifyingly great.

In addition, the story of Yang Xianning personally leading the cavalry to face hundreds of thousands of Liao troops spread in the streets and alleys. Even though the military deliberately suppressed the battle reports, the image of her bravery, fighting skills, and invincibility was still spread.

There was no television in ancient times, so people in the capital naturally wanted to see this big star.

"What should we do, Lord?"

As for the problems of the Yang sisters, the other two are easy to deal with, but Yang Xianning's is difficult to handle, so Qin Shuying came to find Xu Qing after thinking about it.

"Leave it to me."

Seeing that Xu Qing agreed to this matter, Qin Shuying just nodded and looked relaxed.

She then looked at the weather outside and guessed that it was still early and there was still some time before she would have to look at the account book.

So, with a slightly gloomy face, she slowly walked to the other side of the screen and closed the door.

"Click."

When Xu Qing heard the noise, he was stunned for a moment, and the tone of his question changed unconsciously.

"You, you... why did you close the door? It's fine if you closed it, but why did you lock it?"

"My dear, I am worried about your safety, so I came here to help you catch the snake."

Qin Shuying undressed as she spoke, the blush on her face grew deeper and deeper, and dotted peach blossom patterns appeared in the depths of her pupils.

When she turned around, her eyes were already seductive, completely different from the serious look when she first came.

"How can I wash peacefully when there is a snake in the house?"

"Uh, uh..."

Xu Qing was speechless.

……

When Yang Xianning was commanding the Yang family cavalry to rush down the mountain and attack the Liao army's headquarters, she never thought that she would be able to come out alive.

Even though she and her second sister possessed extraordinary martial arts and had practiced the family's Overlord Spear for many years, they knew that the situation on the battlefield could not be changed by one person alone, but was the result of the deployment of troops and offensive and defensive strategies.

However, what surprised Yang Xianning was that the birds and beasts in the Qinling Mountains went crazy for some unknown reason, broke through the Liao army's formation, and brought unimaginable casualties to the Liao army.

Thinking back on this battle afterwards, it still feels incredible, with a weird atmosphere everywhere.
