Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 332
Chapter 332 Princess Caught Adultery
When he left the Zheng Clan Manor, Zheng Anshun gave Qin Mubai something, a small pure gold seal and a strange “Zheng” character.
Qin Mubai knew that what came from Zheng Anshun was definitely not ordinary. Although he didn’t recognize this kind of thing, he could vaguely feel its weight.
“Brother Qin, just accept it. It’s just a small toy. I don’t have the right to remember it.” Zheng Anshun smiled lightly.
Qin Mubai accepted it generously, thanked Zheng Anshun, and took the family down the mountain.
After getting in the car, Wu Meiniang, who was accustomed to the fact that the world was already motionless, changed her expression. She called Qin Mubai into the car and said to him, “Mubai, do you know what Zheng Anshun gave you?”
“What’s the matter?” Qin Mubai rarely saw Wu Meiniang so nervous and asked curiously.
“Take it out.” Wu Meiniang stretched out her hand and Qin Mubai handed the golden seal to her. She heaved a sigh of relief and stamped a seal on her mouth. It was a dragon-flying phoenix-dancing grass character “Zheng”. There was also a trace of a surprisingly detailed special pattern that was obviously difficult to duplicate.
“What’s wrong with this? What’s so special about it?” Qin Mubai asked.
Wu Meiniang knitted her eyebrows and said with a serious expression, “A few days ago, Su Lianqing came to Zheng Anshun to extort money. At that time, Zheng Anshun probably didn’t have much money with him. So she took out this seal and casually stamped it on Su Lianqing’s hand. She then went to any Zheng store to collect ten taels of gold.”
“Oh?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little surprised. “This little golden seal has such a big background?”
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, “Zheng Anshun actually gave it to you … How surprising!”
Qin Mubai’s expression became serious as he slowly nodded, indicating that he realized what this small golden seal meant.
With the golden seal in his hand, Qin Mubai could take whatever he wanted from the Zheng Clan’s shops all over the world. However, Zheng Anshun clearly knew that Qin Mubai was not someone who was greedy for cheap things like Su Lianqing, nor did he lack money to spend. He would definitely not really go to the Zheng Clan’s shop to take out a lot of money to show off.
To put it bluntly, Zheng Anshun had placed all of the Zheng Clan’s assets on Qin Mubai!
This was a fortune that left everyone in the world dumbfounded. It was also a bribe that could rip off heaven and earth!
After understanding the purpose of this golden seal, Qin Mubai understood Zheng Anshun’s intentions. On the mountain, Zheng Anshun did not continue to dig deeper into the topic of discussing the Storage Lord. When it comes to the beauty of things, it is the code of conduct for people like them. It was at that time that Zheng Anshun had clearly made up his mind and used this golden seal to express the Zheng Clan’s position.
It was hard to say who would become Li Shimin’s successor in the end. As long as Li Shimin was alive, this was an inexplicable mystery. As a result, the smart Zheng Family did not place any bets on any “Quasi-Monarch”, instead betting on Qin Mubai, who had the potential to become an official in the future.
Qin Mubai did not doubt that the Zheng Clan could take many measures. Right now, other than him, the eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, and the others in the court also had such a golden seal in their hands. Like Qin Mubai, they weren’t frivolous and shallow, and weren’t short of money. In the end, regardless of which ruler or minister came to power, the Zheng family would find a new umbrella to protect them and continue their wealth and peace.
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai smiled and said, “There’s nothing to be nervous about, Mother Mei. I’ll give it to you, so you can treat it as an ordinary golden lump. However, just keep it safe from outsiders.”
“Mm” Wu Meiniang nodded her head knowingly and carefully wrapped it up. “This kind of thing will be more sensitive on your body. Let me take care of it for you for the time being! Perhaps one day, it will be useful to get it.”
“I’ll leave it to you. I’m more at ease than holding it myself.” Qin Mubai smiled and nodded.
Wu Meiniang gently looked back at Qin Mubai. If it weren’t for the presence of Mrs. Liu, she would have thrown herself into his embrace.
Mrs. Liu was someone who had been here before, so how could she not know the thoughts of such a young child like them? “Saburo, come to mother’s room at night. Mother has something to say to you.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Returning to Qin Xian’s shop, Princess Gaoyang and Shuang’er, who were playing with birds all over the mountain, shouted, tired and sour. They all bathed and prepared to rest early. Qin Mubai accompanied her mother to her room and served her some tea.
Last night, her mother slept with Shuang’er, while Wu Meiniang was dragged into the room by Princess Gaoyang. At this moment, the three women stopped bathing. Madam Liu held Qin Mubai’s hand and smiled strangely. She whispered, “Sanlang, do you miss Mama Mei?”
“Cough … Mother, what are you talking about? We’ve already met, what else do you want?” Qin Mubai smiled awkwardly. It was the first time he had talked to his mother about such a sensitive topic. After all, mother was different from father, so there must be a gap in this regard.
“Foolish brat, are you still playing tricks in front of me?” Madam Liu scolded with a smile, “I can already tell that you and Mother Mei, that’s Lang Qing’s concubine. Just now in the carriage, she was eager for this old bone to disappear from her sight.”
“Ho … ho ho!” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and said, “Mother, there’s no such thing. Don’t guess!”
“Alright, alright. Mother is an experienced person. There’s nothing you don’t know. Don’t hide it in front of me.” Madam Liu smiled and said, “Princess Gaoyang, that girl is so strange. She hasn’t been close to you for a while, so she won’t let Wu Meiniang touch you when she comes to Xiangyang. She must be sad! Don’t worry about her, she’s already married to Meiniang. She’s pregnant with a man and a half, and she’s in a hurry to hug her grandson.”
“Uh” Qin Mubai’s face turned red.
“What, are you still shy?” Mrs. Liu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it for you! In short, I believe she won’t feel wronged if I let Wu Meiniang give birth to your child for you first! After all, it’s up to her parents to decide on the marriage. We can’t disobey Princess Gao Yang with the Emperor in charge, but it’s always easy to let Mr. Wu Meiniang have a child-let’s settle this!”
“This, this” Qin Mubai was speechless for a moment, so embarrassed that he almost wanted to dig a hole in. Originally, he wasn’t a good character. A stomach full of male and female thieves was indeed eager to get the hot Wu Meiniang into bed earlier. However, after being arranged by his mother, he always felt that it wasn’t suitable. He felt like a descendant of a … legged pig.
“Stop squeaking. After the three of them finish bathing, I’ll call Wu Meiniang to sleep with me. I believe Princess Gaoyang won’t dare to say anything else.” Madam Liu smiled like an old chrysanthemum blooming, as if it was still a little bad, and said, “Just wait in the room. At that time, go to another room for your mother to rest.”
“Cough … this is still not good. There’s no need to be in a hurry!” Qin Mubai stood up and left. This was too embarrassing!
Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, pressed down on his shoulders and said, “Sit still-I’ll get your daughter-in-law!”
After saying that, she turned around and left. She closed the door tightly and even left the lock on it. Qin Mubai wanted to cry but didn’t have any tears. No matter what, she felt like a little wife who had been forced to marry, waiting for Overlord to forcefully step on the bow.
The night was getting darker and darker, and even a minute was a bit hard to endure. Qin Mubai walked around the room restlessly like she had hemorrhoids. After a while, footsteps came from the corridor and the voice of the woman was heard.
“I feel wronged that Your Highness is resting alone today. I have something to tell Mama Mei.”
‘”Oh …” Princess Gaoyang’s voice was clearly a little suspicious and unwilling, but she could only say, “But according to concubine mother’s instructions, I will go rest first. Concubine mother and concubine mother, please rest early.”
“Send the princess.”
Qin Mubai’s heart was almost in his throat. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “This is fine too? This old mother is clearly helping me cheat!”
Walking to the door, Wu Meiniang exclaimed, “Auntie, why is the door still locked?”
“Mother Mei, don’t ask. Auntie will open the door for you. You will know when you enter.” As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the lock sound and the door was pulled open.
Qin Mubai sat at the table with a lamp lit in the room and smiled bitterly. When Wu Meiniang saw him, her face immediately turned red, “This …”
“Don’t ask, go in!” Madam Liu smiled and pushed Wu Meiniang in. He couldn’t help but pull the door back to the lock and whispered, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll come and open the door for you. Hehe!”
Qin Mubai petrified on the spot, “I didn’t expect my mother to be so disrespectful!”
Wu Meiniang stood at the door in a daze. She lowered her head awkwardly, her face flushed red, and she was even more charming against the light.
“Cough … Mother Mei, come sit down!” Qin Mubai stood up and called out stupidly.
“Oh” Wu Meiniang smiled awkwardly and unnaturally walked over to sit down. The two of them fell into silence at the same time, as if they had thousands of words in their hearts, but they didn’t know where to start.
“Drink tea.” Qin Mubai poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Wu Meiniang reached out and took it. She buried her head in the tea and did not dare to look sideways at Qin Mubai. Qin Mubai’s eyes were somewhat bright, and there was a faint feeling of spring flowing through them, which made him even more excited.
Thinking of her mother’s strange behavior, Qin Mubai couldn’t help but want to laugh, but she was afraid that Wu Meiniang would be even more embarrassed, so she could only endure it. Wu Meiniang seemed to feel that it was quite absurd as well. The two of them exchanged glances and burst into laughter at the same time. The awkward atmosphere at the scene instantly calmed down a bit, and the two of them let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
Wasn’t this the Chun Xiao moment that the two of them had been looking forward to for a long time?
Qin Mubai naturally held onto Wu Meiniang’s hand and smiled, “Meiniang, in the blink of an eye, we’ve been engaged for three to four years. I haven’t done my duty as a husband for so long. I’m really wronged.”
“Don’t say that, vulgar.” Wu Meiniang smiled faintly and looked at him with bright eyes. “Originally, you weren’t greedy for the Nest Branch’s Yan Que, but the Kun Peng that soared into the nine heavens. If any woman wanted to willfully tie you to her side all the time, it would be a sin, and she wouldn’t be worthy of being your woman.”
Qin Mubai was slightly stunned. The figures of several other women involuntarily appeared in his mind. Princess Gaoyang, Chen Yan, and even Yao’er, none of them had ever asked Qin Mubai to make any sacrifices for them. Instead, they had always treated him with tolerance and expectation.
Wu Meiniang’s words were somewhat helpless and bitter, but they were indeed at the point. Qin Mubai also knew that he was not the kind of man who gave up the entire forest for a tree. It was rare to meet such ladies as Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang. They always treated him with tolerance.
Such a woman was a blessing to a man. With Qin Mubai’s current reputation and status, it wasn’t difficult for him to take out a hundred concubines. However, he would not do so, because there were only a few women in the world like Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang. With such a supreme-grade woman accompanying him, how could other common fans be attracted to him?
“Mother Mei, I’m so lucky.” Qin Mubai gently held onto Wu Meiniang’s hand and kissed her lips.
Wu Meiniang’s entire body trembled slightly, her head pressed down even lower, and her red face seemed to be about to wring out water.
With this tone, Qin Mubai felt that his beast blood was about to boil. Thinking back to the “first night” with Princess Gaoyang, it was extremely absurd and bizarre. Tonight, I must leave a beautiful memory for myself and Wu Meiniang!
He sat closer and gently hugged her around Wu Meiniang’s shoulder. His fingers gently moved the bun beside her ears. Wu Meiniang actually lost her composure, her entire body tensed up and her head lowered even lower. In the past, the two of them also had warm hugs and even kisses.
But tonight, this scene was too ambiguous. Wu Meiniang’s heartbeat surged unprecedentedly, and her mind was somewhat close to blank.
Even if it was a female expert, she was still a female crown head. After all, she was a woman, and she was also a woman who had just begun to fall in love. At this moment, Wu Meiniang was extremely nervous.
Qin Mubai’s lips, however, disobediently moved closer to Wu Meiniang’s face and cunningly kissed her earrings into her mouth. She stuck out her tongue and was about to lick her earlobe.
At this moment, the door was suddenly smashed with a bang-“Qin Mubai, come out!”
Wu Meiniang was caught on the spot like a thief and immediately bounced up. She blushed to the root of her neck, her hands covering her face and turning her head in embarrassment.
“Holy shit!” Qin Mubai gulped down a mouthful of saliva and couldn’t help but curse at the door, “Ling’er, go to sleep!”
“Sure enough, it’s inside, humph!” Princess Gaoyang gritted her teeth and cursed, “If you don’t open the door, this princess will barge in!”
“You’re blind, the door is locked!” Qin Mubai shouted back angrily.
“Then … open the window! This princess crawls in, hehe!” After saying that, Princess Gaoyang actually ran to the window and smacked it hard.
At the corner of the corridor in the distance, Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly and clapped her hands and stomped her feet, “This little aunt, how could she be so good at making trouble than a monkey?”
“Open the window! This princess is here to catch adultery, haha!” Princess Gaoyang laughed even more unbridled.
Wu Meiniang was simply embarrassed. She simply sat down and smiled bitterly, feeling extremely ashamed.
Qin Mubai shook her head helplessly, her teeth itching with hatred. She had no choice but to push open the window. Princess Gao Yang immediately appeared and smiled sinisterly. She pointed at Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang and said, “Alright! Secretly hide and play, and don’t call me-Thief Military Academy, stinking man, aren’t you bringing me in? Do you want to bully Meiniang alone?”
