Chapter 380
The servant turned to look at the scene only to find himself dumbstruck . Liu Mang was sitting at his desk reading his book as though he did not pay any attention to the racket outside .
The only difference was that his robes looked lower than usual and that his chair looked taller than usual .
However, Lu Lingqi would not care about such things at this point in time . She had plenty of things to say to Liu Mang but now that she has met Liu Mang, she no longer knew what to say .
Liu Mang had been extremely occupied in his studies . He picked up a pastry to eat but the pastry had already been stained by ink . Despite that, Liu Mang did not care and just ate the pastry . Only he would know whether the ink was tasty or not .
“Lord Husband . ” Lu Lingqi called out . When Liu Mang heard Lu Lingqi, he lifted up his head in annoyance as if wanting to find out who was the person that dared to disturb him . A pleasant surprise was shown on his face, hiding the panicked state he was actually in .
“Ling Er!” Liu Mang looked at Lu Lingqi happily . After all, she was his wife and one of the few people who is actually concerned about him in that world . Liu Mang longed to see her after several months of separation . Liu Mang wanted to stand but remembered that he was actually naked . Fortunately, Lu Lingqi did not mind . She simply looked at Liu Mang in a distracted manner and called for him .
Lu Lingqi acted like a woman in the bedroom . Liu Mang have seen such movements from Yuan Fang and Da Qiao before . These two women had learned the art, one from heritage and the other from books . They knew what men liked to see . On the other hand, Lu Lingqi was Lu Bu’s daughter . The things she learned was about how to take charge . As a result, her current appearance showed a huge contrast to her usual appearance .
“Is it nice to see?” Lu Lingqi asked as she spun in circles, like a beautiful fluttering b.u.t.terfly .
“It is . ” Liu Mang nodded . Lu Lingqi’s sudden change in style made Liu Mang’s eyes lit up . Her actions combined with the fact that Liu Mang had not seen her for a long time caused Liu Mang to want to walk towards her . However, he remembered his condition and remained motionless .
“Ling Er . You must be exhausted after rus.h.i.+ng here from Yangzhou . Go and take a rest . Take proper care of your own body . I still have a little bit of military affairs that I need to finish . We can slowly continue this at the rear court once I am done . ”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntLu Lingqi became disappointed after hearing Liu Mang’s words . She rushed here and had even learned tricks from Da Qiao to have more time to spend with Liu Mang only to find the man busy . Fortunately, she understood that Liu Mang was like her father . The both of them tend to walk on thin ice and any small mistake would cause a huge disaster . In the end, she nodded and agreed to leave .
Lu Lingqi’s response made Liu Mang relax . He would not be able to keep this up for long .
“What are you all waiting for? Prepare her a room and bring her food!” Liu Mang then shouted at the nearby servants . The servants then started to move to take Lu Lingqi away when suddenly another voice was heard . This voice had caused Liu Mang to panic again .
“Oh . Your Majesty is unexpectedly busy!” The voice was sweet and delicate . Although it should have been a pleasant to hear voice, Liu Mang only heard the voice of a demon .
“Sister Yu!1” Lu Lingqi saw the beautiful figure enter the room the moment she turned around .
Da Qiao dignified figure seemingly had unspeakable temperament . She looked at Liu Mang as if she had eyes that could speak . By right, Liu Mang should be spending more time looking at this beautiful woman . However, he was unable to stare directly at her as though he has a guilty conscience .
“Yu Er . ” Liu Mang could not help but give a wry smile . The little tiger had been dealt with easily but the big tiger arrived . The heavens must really want me gone!
“Lord Husband . We have not met for many days . You still seem safe and sound . ” Da Qiao smiled but her smile looked like a sneer to Liu Mang . Da Qiao was a person with high IQ comparable to women of the Huang Family . The only difference is that she uses her intelligence for household matters . Liu Mang only managed to survive this long because of luck .
“Lord Husband . ” Another person called out softly from behind Da Qiao . This person was Yuan Fang .
“Fang Er . ” Liu Mang greeted back . Yuan Fang did not speak much . She was the one that acts most like a woman from ancient times .
“Why are the both of you here as well?” Lu Lingqi asked .
“Sister Ling . Uncle said that we would need to sleep outdoors if we were to dally . As it is damp at Huainan, uncle was afraid that my body would not persevere . ” While the dampness of the area was one of the reasons, the other reason was that Yuan Fang was homesick . After all, Shouchun used to be her home . The closer she got to Shouchun, the stronger her feelings became . Although Yuan Shu was a terrible Lord, he was a good father . He had raised his son Yuan Yao and his daughter Yuan Fang responsibly . He refused to place his son’s life into the hands of others . Unfortunately, his son’s luck was bad and his son had perished together with him . On the other hand, he took out all of his family heirlooms and information in Shouchun as bride price to ensure that Yuan Fang remains taken care of by Liu Mang .
As a result, Yuan Fang also decided to rush on ahead right after Lu Lingqi had left . They both arrived at Shouchun at roughly around the same time .
While Yuan Fang explained to Lu Lingqi her reasons, Da Qiao looked at Liu Mang silently . Her silence made Liu Mang break out in cold sweat . She looked as though she had caught him cheating on his wives .
Da Qiao looked at Liu Mang with a happy expression but it was also filled with doubt . She understood her husband after dealing with him for so long . She knew that he liked to read but it was never to the extent where he would miss food or sleep . The ink at his mouth was still dry . 2
Da Qiao knew that Liu Mang hated to be disturbed when studying but found it strange that he could still be so indifferent after they had arrived . Normally, Liu Mang would go out to greet them as the man was weak to women, especially to those within the family . Lu Lingqi had tried to give Liu Mang a surprise and also tried learning a lot of tricks from Da Qiao to win Liu Mang’s favour . Da Qiao believed that Liu Mang would have certainly made a move from Lu Lingqi’s actions . Yet, Liu Mang remained indifferent with the excuse that he was busy . However, if Liu Mang was truly busy with military matters, he would not be in the study room . All of this made Da Qiao even more suspicious that something was going on .
Da Qiao looked around . Her actions made Liu Mang nervous . Although Da Qiao looked everywhere, she was still observing Liu Mang . From the corner of her eyes, she could see that Liu Mang had become extremely nervous from her actions . He had the expression of a guilty person .
Da Qiao’s suddenly tried to smell with her nose only to find a fragrance .
‘What is this smell?’ Da Qiao asked as she continued to smell the scent . The more she did, the colder her heart . In that era, men have not yet begin to wear perfume so the scent of perfume that Da Qiao noticed would definitely be from women . Besides that, normal women would be unable to afford perfume . This meant that Liu Mang had been unfaithful in Shouchun . As these scent did not come from the three of them, it meant that there was another women in the study room .
Although having four wives in ancient times would be normal, Da Qiao still felt uncomfortable by this . The first was jealousy . Liu Mang already had three beautiful wives at home . What more does he want? The second was the timing . If Liu Mang intended to cheat, do it when they are not around . Instead, he cheat on them and did not bother to come out and greet them when they had arrived . Da Qiao wanted to see how what kind of person was able to bewilder her husband to this extent .
“Lord Husband . That vase looks nice . That bookshelf looks nice too . ” Da Qiao said as an excuse to inspect those two respective places . While the vase was big, it was not enough to hide a person . It was also fortunate that Lady Zou had been unable to climb the bookshelf or he would have already been busted .
Liu Mang agreed as he pretended to be calm . “Yes . The bookshelf is made from sandalwood . It is one of the things left behind here when my father-in-law left Shouchun!” The father-in-law mentioned by Liu Mang this time was Yuan Shu . “If you like, I can have people make you one!”
“Hm?” Da Qiao felt a sense of misgiving . She did not actually like that bookshelf even though it was expensive . She was used to a life of extravagance and did not care for that bookshelf at all . She simply wanted to find the person hiding in the room . She wanted to know what Liu Mang was trying to hide .
Da Qiao continued to look around by turning but found nothing . She felt disappointment that she could not find the person but at the same time, she did not want to be able to find that person . Those two feelings contradict each other .
After a while, Da Qiao gave up and called for a servant to prepare her room . Yuan Fang and Lu Lingqi had already left much earlier, leaving only Da Qiao and Liu Mang behind .
Da Qiao then approached Liu Mang . During this period, Liu Mang was screaming for her not to approach internally . He had never felt so tense even during life or death moments on the battlefield yet a single woman had caused him to end up like this .
Fortunately, this was just false alarm . Da Qiao went behind Liu Mang and placed her hand on Liu Mang’s shoulder .
A sweet smell drifted into Liu Mang’s nose as he felt his shoulders ma.s.saged .
Da Qiao felt that she had misunderstood her husband as she could not find the hidden person . Since she misunderstood her husband, she needed to make up for it .
“Lord Husband . You must be tired for the past several months . ” Da Qiao’s had good ma.s.saging skills . Both she and Xiao Qiao were born after their father had grown old . Fortunately for their father, the two of them were filial . They had learned how to ma.s.sage to make their father feel better .
After a while, her hands slowly moved down to Liu Mang’s chest, making him feel excited .
“Lord Husband . I know that you are tired . You may want to conquer the land but you must be able to balance your work . You should eat properly at night . Alright?” Da Qiao quietly spoke as she held Liu Mang’s face . The combination of his wife’s beautiful appearance along with the light breeze made his little brother stand up . That being said, the bigger problem was that Liu Mang was beginning to forget about the other beautiful woman that was hiding under his robes .
Lady Zou was touched by something, causing her to gasp immediately . This voice almost caused Liu Mang to jump . If Da Qiao were to haer this, Liu Mang would not need to see his three wives for the rest of the year .
“Hm?” Naturally, Da Qiao heard this voice and furrowed her brows . She wanted to look for the source of that voice . Unexpectedly, Liu Mang struck first and quickly gave her a deep kiss . Da Qiao’s eyes grew wide . She was unable to break away from Liu Mang’s strong grasp . On top of that, this kind of kiss is really rare in this era .
Da Qiao had truly loved Liu Mang . When she was kissed in such a way, she turned silly . The self-restraint of Liu Mang’s body dropped even further .
The one that suffered the most would was the woman under Liu Mang’s robes . This is because Liu Mang’s private part was now jumping up and down . She never had much s.p.a.ce under those robes in the first place but that s.p.a.ce had grown even smaller . In fact, his private part had touched Lady Zou’s face earlier .
Lady Zou was experiencing unspeakable suffering from Liu Mang’s continuously shaking private part . To stop the suffering, she had to stop it from moving . Unfortunately, she had to balance herself with her hands . With no other choice, she used her mouth .
Liu Mang groaned in pain and happiness .
________
Da Qiao’s name here is Qiao Yu . I have only been putting Da Qiao because it would be less confusing for all the ROTK DW players . Similarly, Lu Lingqi’s name here is Lu Qiling but someone requested for it to stay Lu Lingqi so let it stay Lu Lingqi . Something to do with licking the ink to keep it wet . I have no idea why this is an issue when reading .
