The God of War Who Protects the Nation: Starting with Saving a Mother and Daughter in Distress

"Mother, Father, what are you doing in the house?"

While Qin An and Yang Yuyan were lost in their passion, Cai Zhen and Cai Yan barged in.

The two were startled and quickly separated.

Yang Yuyan's face turned as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly, quickly straightened her clothes, and glared at Qin An.

It's all that jerk's fault. Why did he have to be so sentimental? He made me lose control and forget myself.

Now look what happened, his two daughters caught him red-handed.

Qin An was also a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

Cai Zhen and Cai Yan stood at the door, initially at a loss.

But Cai Yan quickly came to her senses: "Father, you're so shameful, you actually want to eat Mother's..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cai Yan covered her mouth and forcibly dragged her out.

"It's all your fault, they saw us," Yang Yuyan said reproachfully, stamping her feet in embarrassment.

Qin An just gave an awkward smile.

Fortunately, Yang Yuyan wasn't really angry.

She knew in her heart that the house was so small, and her two daughters probably already knew about her affair with Qin An.

After all, he couldn't keep quiet in front of Qin An forever.

It's just that we haven't met face-to-face before, so we can pretend we don't know anything.

It was a sudden disruption, and I was just a little unaccustomed to it.

But then I thought, since this kind of thing is unavoidable, it's a good opportunity to teach my daughter some knowledge.

Then, we won't have to secretly endure it anymore.

……

Feeling somewhat lost after being caught in their intimate moment, Yang Yuyan prepared dinner early.

But the atmosphere at this dinner was somewhat subtle.

Yang Yuyan blushed as she served the meal: tender stewed pheasant meat, brown rice, and a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables.

At this time of day, Cai Zhen would usually be chattering away, but today she was unusually quiet.

He would steal glances at Qin An and Yang Yuyan every now and then, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Cai Yan kept her head down, picking at the rice in her bowl, but her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Having just witnessed that scene, although she wasn't as straightforward as her sister, her mind was still in complete turmoil.

Qin An felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two children, so he could only bury his head in his food and pretend not to notice the awkwardness in the air.

"Cai Zhen! Just eat your food properly, where are you looking?" Yang Yuyan finally couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and glared at her youngest daughter.

Cai Zhen was scolded, but instead of being afraid, she chuckled and said, "Mother, I just think... Father looks especially handsome today, and Mother looks especially beautiful too."

"Pfft—"

Qin An almost spat out the food he had just put in his mouth.

Yang Yuyan's face instantly turned bright red. She picked up her chopsticks as if to hit her: "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Cai Zhen quickly hid behind Qin An, peeking out her little head: "I'm just telling the truth."

Watching the mother and daughter playfully bickering, Qin An's embarrassment lessened considerably, and he smiled as he advised, "Alright, alright, let's eat, the food's getting cold."

Yang Yuyan glared at Cai Zhen before sitting down to continue eating. However, she ate the meal exceptionally quickly, and as soon as she put down her chopsticks, she said she was going to clean up, but in reality, she wanted to escape the awkward atmosphere as soon as possible.

After the meal, Qin An saw that it was still early and said to Yang Yuyan, "I'll go up the mountain to check the traps we set earlier; maybe we'll find something."

Yang Yuyan knew he wanted to make room for her, so she nodded: "Go ahead, come back soon, and be careful."

Qin An picked up his bow and arrows, slung his empty basket over his shoulder, and went out the door. He didn't go straight up the mountain, but stood outside the courtyard for a moment. He heard Yang Yuyan calling her two daughters into the house before turning and leaving.

Inside the house, Yang Yuyan tidied up the dishes and chopsticks, took a deep breath, pulled Cai Yan and Cai Zhen into the inner room, and closed the door.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Cai Zhen asked curiously.

Yang Yuyan pulled her two daughters down to sit, her face still flushed, but she tried to be as serious as possible: "Mother has something to say to you."

Seeing her mother's serious expression, Cai Yan nodded: "Mother, please speak."

"It's...it's what you saw this afternoon." Yang Yuyan paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully. "Your father and I are husband and wife. It's normal for husband and wife to have some intimate gestures, just like how parents love you. That's how adults express their feelings. If you see it in the future, don't be surprised or feel ashamed."

Cai Zhen blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Like when Mother hugs Father, and Father eats Mother's... like that?"

"Hmm." Yang Yuyan nodded somewhat shyly, but continued, "It's not just that, there's also... the expression of love between men and women... the intimacy between husband and wife..."

Yang Yuyan intermittently imparted some knowledge about relationships between men and women to her two daughters.

They are now neither too old nor too young.

Under normal circumstances, they would all be able to get married in a few years.

Given the current state of their home, and considering Qin An's youthful vigor and impetuousness, it's impossible for him to keep it a secret forever.

We might as well take this opportunity to spread this knowledge to them.

To avoid any embarrassing situations in the future.

As Cai Zhen listened to the knowledge her mother imparted, her eyes widened, her face flushed, and she felt incredibly curious.

For a moment, the expressions on her face were incredibly varied; it was hard to imagine that someone so young could have such a rich range of expressions.

Cai Yan, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

In fact, having read so many books, she knows a great deal and is quite precocious.

She had already learned about this from books and knew that Qin An and her mother often had sex in the middle of the night, but she didn't care.

Now, hearing Yang Yuyan bring it up, she only asked one crucial question: "Mother, will you have babies?"

Yang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then a look of sadness appeared on her face.

Over the past month, she and Qin An had slept together quite a few times, but nothing had happened.

She is twenty-five years old this year, which is not considered young in this era. Especially after experiencing the hardships of exile, her body has been severely weakened, and she is really afraid that she will never be able to have children again.

"This... Mother doesn't know either." Yang Yuyan's voice lowered.

Seeing her mother's somewhat downcast mood, Cai Zhen, who only vaguely understood the situation, patted her chest and said, "If Mother can't have children, my sister and I will have them for Father when we grow up!"

"Smack!" Yang Yuyan slapped her bottom in annoyance. "What nonsense are you spouting! How can a girl say such things!"

Cai Yan blushed and tugged at her sister, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."

Cai Zhen rubbed her bottom, feeling wronged: "Did I say something wrong? When you taught me to read before, didn't you say something about the three unfilial acts, the greatest of which is having no offspring? I'm being filial to Father, aren't I, Sister?"

Even the usually quiet Cai Yan blushed upon hearing this: "You little brat, I'll tear your mouth apart for talking nonsense!"

Yang Yuyan was both angry and amused, tapping her forehead: "You think you know so much! You'll understand when you grow up. You can't just say things like that."

After the mother and her two daughters had a bit of a tiff, the atmosphere relaxed considerably.

Looking at her two daughters, Yang Yuyan secretly thought that once things settled down, she would have to find a doctor to check on their health.

……

While the mother and daughter were playing around, Qin An did not go up the mountain, but instead quietly came to the outskirts of the county town.

He appeared indifferent to Zhao Erhu's repeated provocations, but in reality, he was seething with anger.

The previous conflicts were nothing to worry about; they were just some trivial squabbles and minor skirmishes.

But this time, the other party is clearly trying to drive him into a corner.

If we tolerate this, they might resort to even more insidious methods next time.

There are no days when you can guard against thieves, only days when you're a thief yourself.

Now that they were enemies, he wasn't going to let the hatred linger overnight.

More importantly, with the system by his side, he felt more confident.

With a sharp blade in hand, the urge to kill arises spontaneously!
