Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 325 Yuan Shang vs. Lu Bu
The second young master Zhen Yan watched the fifth young lady Zhen Rong leave and waved to her.

But the fifth lady Zhen Rong turned around and smiled at him and the eldest lady Zhen Jiang, saying, "Daddy has prepared a room for me. I will stay here for a few days at Daddy's place."

The second son Zhen Yan and the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang's faces fell.

Daddy?

Although they agreed to their mother remarrying Zhang Sui.

However, Zhang Sui is of the same age as them after all.

The word "Daddy" made them feel creepy.

But this little sister seems so sincere and affectionate.

Zhang Sui obviously did not expect that the fifth lady Zhen Rong would call him "Daddy".

After looking at his wife, Zhang Sui looked quite strange.

Instead, the lady smiled and reached out to pinch the little face of Fifth Miss Zhen Rong.

Zhang Sui brought his wife and fifth daughter Zhen Rong to the house. Yuan Mi also set up a table of food and wine at home in advance to welcome his wife to join the big family.

Although the lady is the oldest, Yuan Mi has the highest status.

Fortunately, the women were all sensible, so they seemed to be having a good time and no one made things difficult for anyone else.

After dinner, Yuan Mi pulled Zhang Chunhua and Hongyu to play Landlord.

Fifth Miss Zhen Rong stood on a bench next to Hongyu and watched them play.

The lady sat with Cai Wenji and Zhang Sui.

Cai Wenji was cutting clothes for children.

She and her wife are both about to give birth in the next few days.

The doctors and midwives are all ready.

Hongyu is only two months away.

Yuan Mi and Zhang Chunhua also found out they were pregnant not long ago.

Zhang Sui had no father or mother, and had no one to help him prepare these things.

The only elder, Beijia Tian Feng, was his teacher, who was in Yijing, Youzhou, so naturally he had no time to come.

Therefore, the clothes these children wore were all made by Cai Wenji and Hongyu themselves.

After Zhang Chunhua's mother knew that Zhang Chunhua was pregnant, she also made preparations.

But, she was Zhang Chunhua's mother after all.

None of the women wanted to trouble the old man.

The lady watched Cai Wenji busying herself and followed suit.

She hadn't touched needlework for years.

Zhang Sui watched them busying around without stopping.

He took off his wife and Cai Wenji's shoes, placed them on his thighs, and helped massage their calves.

After the two women became pregnant, their feet showed signs of swelling.

When Zhang Sui has free time, he will help them massage.

The lady's calves have some flesh on them, and they feel soft when pinched.

Cai Wenji is a thin type.

Although her face became rounder after pregnancy, she still doesn’t have much fat on her body.

Her feet are also on the small side.

While kneading the two girls' calves, Zhang Sui patted their feet from time to time.

Recently, he has become more and more obsessed with the two women's feet.

Because the two women were about to give birth, Zhang Sui didn't dare to do anything to them.

Cai Wenji's temper is somewhat restrained after all.

Every time, Zhang Sui had to beg her for a long time before she agreed reluctantly.

After being with Zhang Sui for a long time, she increasingly found that this man was like a reincarnated pervert.

Just as Zhang Sui was pinching his wife and Cai Wenji's calves and playing with their feet from time to time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly sounded outside.

Yuan Mi, Hong Yu and Zhang Chunhua, who were playing Landlord, did not notice it.

The lady and Cai Wenji, who were cutting clothes for the child, heard it.

Both women looked at Zhang Sui nervously.

Ever since Zhang Sui led his troops into Zhongshan County, he has been very busy.

He was either in the military camp, in the government office, or in the fields. He would only come back once every few days.

Now they are about to give birth. Although Zhang Sui has already invited doctors and midwives to their home, they are still worried that Zhang Sui will leave and they will not be able to witness the birth of the child.

At this time, Zhang Sui was playing with the feet of his wife and Cai Wenji. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he stopped, put their feet down and looked outside.

Not long after, the servant on night shift came hurriedly in with Li Ru.

Zhang Sui saw this and went out to meet him.

The two walked to the side hall, and the maid brought them hot tea.

Li Ru saw the maid leave, then whispered: "The information just came in, something happened in Xuzhou."

"Before, the Third Young Master led Chunyu Qiong, Feng Ji and others, as well as 20,000 troops, straight to Xuzhou."

Zhang Sui nodded.

This was decided three days ago last year.

Yuan Shao wanted to give his third son Yuan Shang the opportunity to gain merit and occupy Xuzhou.

In this way, his three sons and one nephew would each be in charge of a state.

Although the military inspector Ju Su, deputy driver Tian Feng and others all opposed it, they believed that this was a disaster caused by internal strife.

However, Yuan Shao didn't listen at all.

Yuan Shao was confident that his third son Yuan Shang could take over Xuzhou.

The reason is simple.

1. The current governor of Xuzhou is Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei was a benefactor to the Yuan family.

However, Yuan Shao did not particularly think highly of Liu Bei from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Liu Bei previously served as the prefect of Pingyuan.

If we rashly take over Xuzhou now, how can we have the ability to defend it?
Second, the Yuan family is a top-notch aristocratic family with three generations of officials in four generations. The aristocratic families in Xuzhou must be looking forward to his arrival regularly.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's view, sending his third son Yuan Shang to Xuzhou was tantamount to stealing credit.

Li Ru continued: "Who knew that when we arrived in Xuzhou, Liu Bei had already lost Xuzhou, and it was Lu Bu who occupied Xuzhou."

"After the Third Young Master and his men learned that the ruler of Xuzhou was Lu Bu, they thought that Lu Bu was a defeated general and attacked the city by force. They were ambushed by Lu Bu's generals Zhang Liao and Gao Gan. Of the 20,000-strong army, except for Chun Yuqiong who led 2,000 men to escort the Third Young Master Yuan Shang to escape, the rest of the army either died in battle or surrendered."

"The governor of Jizhou was already wounded by an arrow."

"Now I am even more angry to the point of vomiting blood."

"My lord, you must be prepared."

Zhang Sui couldn't help laughing and said, "How dare Yuan Shang think that Lü Bu was defeated?"

"Although Lu Bu was defeated repeatedly, he maintained his strength from beginning to end."

"Otherwise, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun would have left him long ago."

When Li Ru heard what Zhang Sui said, he also laughed out loud.

Although my lord is young, he is experienced in judging people and will not underestimate the enemy.

Many of the current Hebei generals look down on Lu Bu.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shang suffered a great defeat this time.

Li Ru said: "Then I will inform all the troops now and ask them to prepare?"

Zhang Sui shook his head.

Li Ru asked curiously: "Why?"

Zhang Sui said: "I have just started here. If I leave, who knows if the officials behind me will pretend to obey but secretly disobey?"

"Then all this time I've spent on this project has been in vain?"

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, Li Ru nodded and said, "That's right."

"Also, although we didn't capture Yijing in Youzhou, we destroyed the city wall. As long as we break through the city wall, Gongsun Zan will surely die."

"It's not too late to transfer some troops from Yijing to Xuzhou for revenge."

"Although the lord has shown his talent for war, as the governor of Jizhou, he still trusts the generals he has brought with him, such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, more."

Zhang Sui nodded.

Li Ru then said, "Then I will go back and not disturb the master and ladies' leisure time."

Glancing at the direction of the hall, Li Ru smiled and said, "I heard that the two ladies are about to give birth. My lord, you should stay with them in the mansion these days. If there is any emergency, I will inform you later."
