Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 798, Side Story 2: Wu Ying and Xiao Qiao (Part 4)

Wu Ying grunted and continued walking with Cai Yan, muttering, "Could it be that she's trying to cling to the General?"

Cai Yan turned around and looked at Wu Ying, her expression somewhat puzzling.

However, she didn't say anything, but just told Wu Ying to follow.

The two entered the house and went to a room. Cai Yan closed the door and then whispered, "This Xiao Qiao has to go to the academy every day."

"But she didn't go to study."

“It’s always to meet my husband.”

Wu Ying: "."

Just as she was about to continue the conversation, a flush rose to her face.

She hadn't noticed it at all.

Only after Cai Yan closed the door did she notice a painting pasted behind it.

In the painting, Cai Yan is depicted naked, lying on a bed, gazing tenderly ahead.

Cai Yan also noticed Wu Ying looking at the painting, and her pretty face flushed red as she said, "Don't tell anyone what I saw today, or I'll kill you to silence you."

As he spoke, he made a pinching motion with the five fingers of his right hand towards Wu Ying.

Wu Ying ignored Cai Yan.

Her gaze shifted elsewhere.

The room was covered with dozens of portraits.

The vast majority of the photos show Cai Yan completely naked.

Some of them even showed Zhang Sui and Cai Yan cuddling together.

A blush quickly spread from Wu Ying's earlobes down to her neck.

Her once snow-white skin now looked like it had been branded with a red-hot iron.

Wu Ying swallowed hard, looking at Cai Yan in disbelief, and asked, "You, when did you become like this?"

"The General and you, you and he did it together, and then the painter drew it?"

"Aren't you ashamed?"

Cai Yan blushed and said irritably, "What are you thinking about?"

"How could a third person have seen these?"

"If there were a third party present, I would rather die than obey such a secret matter."

"These were all drawn by him and me."

"My husband appears respectable on the outside, but he is secretly quite dissolute."

He said it was a way for couples to have fun together.

“I wasn’t happy about it either, but he never told anyone.”

“He wouldn’t even talk about what we sisters looked like or any details of our lives in front of outsiders.”

“But we sisters all have stories of his romantic escapades in our rooms.”

Wu Ying's pretty face flushed red as she said, "I had heard rumors that the General was a lecher, but I never imagined it was true!"

Grabbing Cai Yan's arm, Wu Ying whispered in her ear, "I have a question for you, and you must tell me the truth."

Cai Yan looked at Wu Ying with a puzzled expression.

Wu Ying asked, "The general doesn't look very robust. Can he really keep up with you for that long? I've only ever heard that only broad-shouldered and stout generals can do that."

Cai Yan chuckled and then said, "You don't need to doubt that."

“Among my sisters, there is one named Eshi, who was the queen of the former Chanyu of the Wuhuan in the three commanderies.”

"There's also someone named Zhang Chunhua."

“These two, every time they’re with her husband, they can keep going all night long.”

“Especially the wife, once she and her husband spent the whole night in that wooden tub.”

"My husband can lift at least two of you with one hand."

“Every time he carries me in one arm, I feel like my body is being pierced through.”

Wu Ying's expression changed slightly.

I never imagined that a general with such a physique could be so brave!

Wu Ying asked skeptically, "Is the General really that powerful? Aren't you afraid?"

Cai Yan blushed and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then smiled and said, "He knows how to behave appropriately."

“He is the most understanding of me in these kinds of situations.”

"Moreover, when you're with the person you love, you realize that doing this kind of thing is the happiest thing."

"Once you've experienced it, you'll know what it means to 'find the taste after eating the marrow'."

"Why have men and women always come together to become husband and wife?" "That's the reason."

Upon hearing Cai Yan's words, Wu Ying's initial flush quickly subsided, replaced by a somber expression. She said, "There's no point in telling me this. I'll never understand what it's like to be a wife in my entire life."

Cai Yan sighed inwardly as she looked at Wu Ying.

Unable to bear touching Wu Ying's pain any further, Cai Yan carried the child to the bookshelf, took out a thick book, placed it on the square table in front of Wu Ying, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"I'll show you some of the truly amazing things about my husband."

"These are all things that my sister Yueying and I spent several years compiling from what our husbands told us."

Wu Ying then perked up and laughed, "Alright, I'd like to see just what kind of extraordinary person our Great General is!"

Cai Yan and Wu Ying sat side by side on a bench.

Cai Yan opened the book to the first page, where a "steel bird" was flying in the sky.

Cai Yan said, "This is called an airplane."

"My husband said it was made of iron and carried dozens or even hundreds of people. It flew in the sky and traveled thousands of miles a day."

Wu Ying exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible! A thousand-mile horse can only travel a thousand miles a day, and it can only be ridden by one person!"

Cai Yan smiled and said, "Don't say it's impossible. I originally thought it was impossible too, but after understanding my husband's words and actions, I think it's very possible."

Turning to the second page, Cai Yan said, "This is called a cement road, made from several kinds of minerals. When laid on the ground, it is harder and more durable than the post road."

"My husband said that we should build the city wall together with a material called reinforced concrete. With the current methods, that city wall will absolutely not be breached from the outside!"

"Currently, following my husband's instructions, Yueying and I have spent several years researching and have succeeded."

"When I take you to the academy, I will show you the wonders of this cement."

"My husband was overjoyed for several days because of this. He even discussed with the court officials the idea of ​​recommending me and my sister Yueying to the emperor as ministers of the Ministry of Works."

Wu Ying exclaimed in shock, "You...you're going to be a minister, Zhao Ji?"

Cai Yan nodded, her face full of pride, and said, "It's true, my husband personally went to ask Ju Shou and Tian Feng for help."

"Both of these elderly people are very strict."

“Yesterday, my husband told me that after he explained the role of cement to Ju Gong and Tian Gong, the two old men were already discussing with the court officials to break with convention and promote my sister Yueying and me to higher official positions.”

“However, my husband said that the most likely scenario is that Mr. Huang Chengyan will be the Minister of Works, and my sister Yueying and I will be his deputies.”

Wu Ying exclaimed "Ah?" and said with envy, "Zhao Ji, you are so lucky."

"The general is so brave, and he is also so considerate of you."

"If I could have a husband like that, I would be content even if I only lived one more day."

Cai Yan looked at Wu Ying's serious expression and fell silent.

After a long while, she turned to the third page and said, "Let's continue."

While Cai Yan and Wu Ying were reading, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had already crossed the corridor and arrived at the front hall of the Prince Ji's mansion.

The two walked around from the side hall to Zhang Sui's side.

Zhang Sui has already sent someone to summon Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, preparing for them to meet with Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren's master was also Tong Yuan, and he was Tong Yuan's second disciple.

When Zhang Ren became an apprentice, Tong Yuan mentioned Zhang Xiu, but he didn't know about Zhao Yun.

Hearing Zhang Sui say this today, Zhang Ren was also extremely excited.

Just as Zhang Sui was telling Zhang Ren about how he met Zhao Yun, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao walked over.

Da Qiao whispered in her ear, "Husband, I'm going out for a bit to pick up the clothes you ordered from the Mi family's shop."

Zhang Sui hummed in agreement and whispered, "Take good care of your personal guards, be careful, don't be careless, and come back quickly."

Da Qiao hummed in agreement.

He was about to pull Xiao Qiao away.

But then Xiao Qiao took the wine cup from Zhang Sui, took a sip of wine, and then put the cup back on the table in front of Zhang Sui.

The rim of the wine cup clearly reflected Xiao Qiao's bright red lip print.

Zhang Sui was chatting with Zhang Ren and didn't notice any of this.

After Xiao Qiao put down her wine cup, Zhang Sui picked it up and took a sip of wine directly from Xiao Qiao's lip print.

Da Qiao: "."

Xiao Qiao watched Zhang Sui drink with some nervousness.

Seeing Zhang Sui down the drink in one gulp, a sly and triumphant glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Suddenly, she noticed the strange look in Da Qiao's eyes.

Xiao Qiao was startled and quickly pulled Da Qiao away, rushing to the side hall. She blushed and said awkwardly, "Sister, do you think brother-in-law's wine is different from ours? Why does his wine smell better?"
