The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 142 Is There a Problem?

"Have you heard about the hunting grounds?"

At dinner time, Zheng brought up the matter at the table.

She and Lin Hui got along quite well and were of similar age. After arriving in the capital, they quickly became friends. Today, she had just gone out with Lin Hui to buy a set of noodles when she heard about this on the way.

Xu Shuhe nodded, "I heard that the prince encountered a mad bear while hunting and was seriously injured."

As they said this, the mother and daughter's eyes fell on Chen Zhi at the same time.

Now that Chen Zhi is working in the government, he must know more inside information.

"The crown prince is seriously injured and is still unconscious. The guards under the fifth prince caught several sneaky people around the hunting grounds. They are suspected of deliberately releasing a bear to murder the crown prince. The queen is furious, and the Jiang family has also written a letter requesting a thorough investigation of the matter. The emperor has ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the case, and the fifth prince is assisting in the investigation." Chen Zhi repeated the information he had learned.

Zheng sighed, "The royal family is ruthless. This is probably another case of siblings killing each other."

"Don't even mention the royal family. Even in ordinary people's families, there are conflicts between brothers just to see who can get more of the family property." Xu Shuhe said calmly.

Unexpectedly, Zheng shook her head and said, "Children's discord is mostly caused by the lack of virtue of the elders. If parents are impartial, treat their children equally, and teach their children well, most sibling discord can be avoided."

Hearing her say this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but look up at his mother-in-law, feeling a little sour in his heart.

If Chen Huaiqian, as a father, could be impartial and treat his brothers equally, he wouldn't have had such a mess at home. Even with Feng as his stepmother, his life wouldn't have been so difficult.

Xu Shuhe was quick to notice Chen Zhi's mood and immediately changed the subject.

"Okay, okay, let's not discuss this royal family's affairs. By the way, the Dali Temple has to handle a case during this period. Will you be very busy?"

"Maybe. The task hasn't been assigned yet. It's a serious matter and I don't know how the manpower will be arranged." Chen Zhi said truthfully.

"No matter how busy you are, you must take care of yourself." Zheng said earnestly, "I heard that the last time you were busy, you didn't sit down and talk to Shuhe for more than ten days. At least you should take care of the family."

The two of them didn't know when Zheng found out about what happened last time, and they were both embarrassed at this moment.

Chen Zhi was the first to bow his head and admit his mistake, "I know, I will never do this again."

"Mom, eat some vegetables." Xu Shuhe laughed and put a pork chop into Zheng's bowl.

After dinner, the couple returned to their room.

Zheng also returned to the courtyard where she lived. After entering the house and sitting down, she sighed.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" Mother Yan noticed her emotions and asked softly.

"You said that this young couple seems to have a good relationship, so why haven't they consummated their marriage yet?" Zheng's face was filled with worry.

Madam Yan was stunned for a moment, then half-believing and half-doubting, "That can't be possible. This girl and her husband have been married for a year and a half, and they have been through thick and thin together. I've seen that the husband treats the girl very well, and the girl doesn't seem to dislike him. Madam, why do you suddenly make such a guess?"

"We are all experienced people, so I am not embarrassed to tell you this. During the time I have been here, I secretly asked the older servants in the mansion, and guess what, this young couple has never asked for water at night." Zheng lowered her voice.

If you have sex, you should at least wipe your body before going to sleep. It's okay if you are lazy and don't wipe your body once or twice, but can you do this every time?
Moreover, Zheng also privately asked Xu Shuhe why they didn't have a child yet, but Xu Shuhe was evasive when talking about their sexual intercourse.

This made Zheng wonder if the two had not yet consummated their marriage.

Mother Yan thought about it for a while, then frowned, "Madam, could it be that Master has some unspeakable health problems?"

The two seem to have a good relationship, but they rarely sleep together. Maybe it's because they want to, but they don't have the ability.

"I have the same guess." Zheng held the handkerchief, "They are young and they are too embarrassed to ask for treatment for this problem. Shuhe and this girl are also young and probably have little experience. They don't understand this matter very well. They are just muddled along. This is not okay."

Thinking of this, Zheng waved for Mother Yan to come closer.

"Send a letter to the old house in Qizhou and ask the doctor who usually treats me for a good solution."

"Yes." Mother Yan nodded.

They did it the next day. On the other hand, the young couple didn't know that their elders were worried about them. They finished washing and lay down, talking.

Chen Zhi has been busy looking for the future 'national teacher' recently, and has made some progress. But if the Dali Temple gets busy now, he might not be able to spare the time to look after the matter himself, so he talked about it with Xu Shuhe now, hoping that Xu Shuhe would keep an eye on it for him.

Zhang Ping is reliable, but he still needs someone to check him. Apart from himself, the person Chen Zhi trusts the most now is Xu Shuhe.

This was not a difficult matter, so Xu Shuhe naturally agreed.

Now she felt that Chen Zhi was becoming more and more skilled in doing these things. Although he was still just a clerk, his work style had changed compared to when he was doing business before, and he was more calm and restrained.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhe immediately called up the system interface in his mind and took a look.

This was amazing to see, what rapid progress! Xu Shuhe was so happy that he clenched his fists and waved them in front of his chest.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi was confused.

Xu Shuhe quickly calmed down and said, "It's nothing. I'm just trying to cheer myself up. I have to complete the task you assigned to me."

I just found an excuse to get away with it.

Hearing her say this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He felt that the person in front of him was like a child who was still immature. He was so happy to be "entrusted with an important task" by adults, and he patted his chest to promise to complete it.

"What are you laughing at!" Xu Shuhe felt that the way he looked at her was not right, so she raised her hand and slapped him on the chest, "What are you making up about me?"

Chen Zhi laughed even more, but he still said coaxingly, "How dare you, my wife is the smartest and most capable, far better than me."

The more he acted like this, the more Xu Shuhe felt that he had bad intentions, so she raised her hand and pinched his face, rubbing it all over, as if to vent her anger.

Unable to stop her from making such a fuss, Chen Zhi grabbed her wrist, pulled her hand up, and pinned it above her head.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Please show mercy, madam." Chen Zhi said half-jokingly.

This strange posture made Xu Shuhe feel uncomfortable for a moment. Looking at the handsome face so close to him, for some reason, his face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire.

Chen Zhiyuan didn't realize anything was wrong yet, but when he saw the changes in Xu Shuhe, he realized the ambiguity of this posture and his face turned red.

"You, let go of my hand." Xu Shuhe avoided his gaze and spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito.

Looking at the bright red face of the woman in his arms, like the beautiful peony on a branch, Chen Zhi felt his heart pounding in his chest.

"My dear, give me a kiss and I will let go." Chen Zhi bravely stared at the person in his arms with burning eyes.

Xu Shuhe never thought that he had become a bad person and wanted to refuse. However, when she met his eyes, she felt her throat suddenly burning and she couldn't utter a word.

After hesitating for a while, she bit her lip and finally, like a dragonfly touching the water, quickly gave the man a kiss on the side of his face.

Chen Zhi's breathing stagnated slightly. This light kiss was like a spark falling into hot oil, making his entire chest burn.

The next moment, Xu Shuhe felt her waist being held tightly, and a hot and intense kiss fell on her lips.

When she was in a daze, she heard a hand pulling her belt. Then Xu Shuhe remembered something and quickly held down the hand.

"Let's do it another day. I'm not feeling well." Xu Shuhe's voice trembled.

She really wasn't lying. This period will probably not end for another two or three days.

Otherwise, there would be no need to brake suddenly at this moment.

Chen Zhi paused, then took a deep breath and kissed her forehead lightly, "If you don't want me to, I won't cross the line."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe knew that the other party had misunderstood.

Immediately, she raised her hand and hooked it around Chen Zhi's neck, whispering something in his ear.

Chen Zhi's ears suddenly turned red. He coughed lightly and said softly, "Okay."
