Cola Novel Reading Feast: A vast collection of books and an ultimate reading experience.

As Xuzhou's development gradually got on track, Qin Xuan was no longer so busy that he had more time to enjoy his happy life.

There's also a troublesome little devil at home. Although Cao Yuan's beauty isn't as stunning as those famous beauties, she's still quite a lovely woman, and her slender figure is something Qin Xuan is particularly infatuated with.

"My lord, I returned home yesterday. Everything at home is very well. My father instructed me to serve you well, hoping to bear you an heir!"

In the backyard of the governor's mansion, Qin Xuan was lying on a bed under a tree, basking in the sun. Beside him was Cao Yuan, dressed in a red dress, nestled in his arms like a well-behaved kitten.

She spoke softly about her visit to her family home the previous day.

As a concubine, Cao Yuan was well aware of her status, so she did not hide anything from Qin Xuan and told him everything her father had told her.

"Oh, in that case, we'd better work hard!"

Qin Xuan answered with a smile as he groped Cao Yuan's body.

In fact, as a modern person, Qin Xuan did not have the feudal remnants of the primogeniture system. He believed that which child was the most outstanding could inherit his business.

Instead of being determined by a woman's social status, he paid no attention to Cao Bao's petty thoughts.

"Really? My lord, am I dreaming?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan's beautiful eyes widened in shock. After all, she knew very well that she was just a lowly concubine, and as Qin Xuan's power grew, he would have more and more women around him.

In addition, given her humble origins, she might soon fall out of favor, so having a child, especially a boy, was the safest option.

"That's right!" Qin Xuan nodded and continued, "I know what your father meant, but I want to tell you that having a child doesn't mean everything!"

"I will have more and more women in the future, and they will come from all walks of life. As they have more children, the issue of choosing an heir will arise."

"It could be your child who will inherit the throne, or it could be another child; it all depends on who is the most outstanding!"

Qin Xuan's plan was this: both the primogeniture system and the legitimate heir system have been proven over a long period of time. If the child is intelligent and virtuous, that's fine, but if he becomes arrogant and dissolute, then he's doomed.

The wisest course of action is to select the best from the best. As for other underhanded tactics like competing secretly and sabotaging each other, we can only wait and see what fate has in store.

"My lord, will Mi Zhen also become your woman?"

Cao Yuan suddenly asked this question, and Mi Zhen, who was not far away, was dumbfounded. She quickly lowered her head to hide her nervousness and pricked up her ears to wait for Qin Xuan's answer.

Qin Xuan was taken aback by Cao Yuan's sudden question. He glanced at Mi Zhen, who was standing not far away with her head down, and asked in confusion, "Why would you ask that?"

Although I had feelings for Mi Zhen, I didn't show it. How did Cao Yuan guess it?

Cao Yuan then whispered something in Qin Xuan's ear, her pretty face growing increasingly flushed, until finally she buried her head in Qin Xuan's chest.

"I see!" After hearing Cao Yuan's words, Qin Xuan turned his head and looked at Mi Zhen in the distance again, scrutinizing her with intense eyes.

"My lord, you haven't answered me yet?"

Qin Xuan's burning gaze was interrupted by Cao Yuan's voice. He quickly turned his gaze to the beauty before him, patted her shapely buttocks twice, and said with a smile:

"If you can convince her, I'm fine with it!"

Cao Yuan wanted Qin Xuan to take Mi Zhen as a concubine. Besides the fact that Mi Zhen was the eldest daughter of the Mi family and that she was an old acquaintance, she also wanted Mi Zhen to share some of the pressure with her.

Qin Xuan is simply too strong; she cannot bear everything alone and must find someone to share this pressure.

"Alright, I'll go right now. Get ready to enjoy yourself tonight, sir!"

As she spoke, Cao Yuan got up from Qin Xuan's side, walked gracefully to Mi Zhen's side, and led her to her room.

Although Mi Zhen was Qin Xuan's personal maid, she spent most of her time with Cao Yuan. In addition, the two had known each other since childhood, so they got along quite well.

"Sister, what brings you here?" Although she was older than the other woman, the difference in their status forced her to call her "sister." Although Mi Zhen already had a guess in her heart, she was still unsure whether Cao Yuan was really as she thought.

"Little sister, I called you here to ask you what you think about serving the master tonight?" Cao Yuan didn't keep her in suspense and directly stated her intention.

"Wh-what?" Mi Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Cao Yuan to actually ask her to accompany Qin Xuan that night.

"You're so pretty, the adults won't let you get away with it. You might as well take the initiative!"

"And...the master...!" Cao Yuan paused here, pretending to be somewhat embarrassed to say it.

Cao Yuan's hesitant expression successfully piqued Mi Zhen's curiosity, and she shook Cao Yuan's arm playfully, saying:

"Sister, and what? Tell me quickly!"

Mi Zhen was, after all, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who would still be in high school in modern times, so her curiosity was particularly strong.

Cao Yuan was so exasperated by the other woman's coquettish manner that she had no choice but to lean close to Mi Zhen's ear and whisper:

"Besides, you are too capable, and I can't handle it all by myself. I want you to share the burden. If you get pregnant, you won't be a maid anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Zhen recalled the exhausted look on Cao Yuan's face in the bedroom every morning after Qin Xuan left, and her originally fair face instantly turned bright red.

As a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she knew a little about it, but she never expected Qin Xuan to be so capable that even Cao Yuan couldn't handle him.

Cao Yuan was paying close attention to Mi Zhen's expression. Seeing that the other woman's face was flushed, she was delighted and then urged:

"Little sister, how about it? Give me an answer if it's okay or not. If you don't agree, I won't force you. I'll go outside and find someone important to help you!"

With that, he shook off Mi Zhen's hand and turned to walk out the door.

"No! I... I promise!"

Seeing that Cao Yuan was about to leave, Mi Zhen could no longer care about anything else and quickly grabbed her, agreeing to the matter.

After all, it wouldn't be too unfair for her to submit to Qin Xuan. He's young, handsome, and most importantly, the lord of Xuzhou. If she were to have a child, the Mi family might have a chance to grow and prosper.

Even if one cannot inherit the other's business, inheriting the Mi family's commercial business would be fine; that would be a form of indirect development for the Mi family.

"Okay, from now on we really have to call each other sisters!"

Cao Yuan held Mi Zhen's hand, a sweet smile on her face. She wasn't afraid of Mi Zhen becoming the empress, and she herself didn't want to become the empress, after all, her family background was what it was.

All she had to do was serve Qin Xuan well and give birth to a son or daughter as soon as possible.

With Mi Zhen's nod, Qin Xuan's harem was finally no longer empty. That very night, he helped Mi Zhen complete the most important transformation of her life, turning her from a young girl into a mature woman. .
