How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"She's very beautiful? Are you obsessed with her?"

Yan Jixue thought for a moment and then asked him again.

"She is indeed good-looking, but in my heart, my wife will always be the prettiest."

While answering, Xu Chengling did not forget to praise his wife.

Of course, he did not mention that he had been drugged. Even if he did, his wife probably wouldn't believe it.

"Oh."

Yan Jixue's reaction was very calm. She flipped through the account book in her hand, and her eyes fell on the inexplicable expenditure of 50,000 taels.

She probably had guessed what the fifty thousand taels were used for. It must have been used to sell the girl's virginity.

She had heard that the virginity of those courtesans in brothels was usually sold to the customers through auction, but fifty thousand taels was too outrageous.

But Yan Jixue thought about it and realized that the 50,000 taels finally fell into the hands of Huayinglou, and the owner of Huayinglou was Xu Chengling, which was equivalent to just putting the money in his left pocket into his right pocket.

"When will the fifty thousand taels be returned?"

Yan Jixue asked him.

"Fifty thousand taels is not a small amount. It may take some time to slowly flow back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in various ways, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Empress and the court."

Xu Chengling replied calmly that the existence of Huaying Tower must be kept secret from the empress and the court. If the empress knew that he had set up such a large intelligence organization behind the scenes, she would definitely not sit idly by.

Yan Jixue nodded, as long as the 50,000 taels could be returned in the end.

She couldn't help but think for a while, then sighed and said helplessly:

"My husband, since you have done everything with her, you should redeem her from Huaying Tower."

Chapter 169: Something’s wrong with my wife!

Xu Chengling discovered that something was wrong with his wife!

He even suspected that he had heard it wrong. His wife actually asked him to redeem the person?

Wait, Xu Chengling was a little confused. In his impression, his wife was not such an easy-going person.

Therefore, he couldn't help but confirm again:

"Madam, is what you just said true?"

"If it's not true, how could it be false?"

Yan Jixue couldn't help but sigh softly. Seeing Xu Chengling's shocked look, she was really angry and helpless.

"Well, what else can you do? You've already taken her virginity. Are you willing to watch her continue to entertain customers and have sex with men other than you?"

Yan Jixue sat on the stool and couldn't help but give him a helpless look and said lightly.

"Since you are my man, you must take on the responsibilities of a man. I don't want my man to be someone who will abandon you after having sex with you."

Her words immediately stopped Xu Chengling.

Indeed, what she said was absolutely right. If Hanyu Sakura still stayed in Huayinglou, she would continue to receive customers and serve various men.

The so-called selling one's body without selling one's skills is simply a joke in such a place of fireworks.

Asking himself honestly, Xu Chengling found it hard to accept this kind of thing. Since he took someone's first time, he should take responsibility.

He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He didn't expect that these words would be said to him personally by his wife.

"Ma'am, you are right."

Xu Chengling nodded. He felt that what his wife said was absolutely right.

But the problem is, even if he can pass the test of his wife, he can't pass the test of his identity.

If Hanyu Sakura was just an ordinary woman, he could redeem her from Huaying Tower and take responsibility for her from then on.

But the problem is, Hanyu Sakura is a spy sent by Izumo Kingdom, and she stays in Huayinglou to collect intelligence more conveniently.

For this, she even sacrificed her virginity to hide her true identity.

It can be said that Hanyu Sakura gave him her first time just to be able to continue staying in Huayinglou.

It may also be that in her opinion, it would be better to give her first time to him than to give it to someone else.

But no matter what, all she did was to stay in Huaying Tower and hide her identity as a spy, so she turned the fake into reality.

As a result, now his wife asks him to take responsibility and redeem Hanyu Sakura from Huayinglou.

Regardless of whether Hanyu Sakura has feelings for him, if she leaves Huayinglou and loses her source of intelligence, her spy mission will fail.

Moreover, Xu Chengling didn't think that a woman as firm in her stance as Hanyu Sakura would abandon the organization behind her and betray her country just because she had feelings for him.

"Well, although it's a little difficult, I'll still give it a try."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but sigh, wishing he could influence her with his love.

Using love to influence another person is just as difficult as using sex to force a woman into submission. It is simply impossible in reality.

Xu Chengling looked at the lady in front of him, and saw that her beautiful face had a hint of coldness. She usually looked cold, but she was always trying hard to be a qualified and virtuous wife.

Moreover, thanks to her efforts, the entire Xiangguo Mansion was managed in an orderly manner and was thriving.

In addition, every month there would be an inexplicable sum of money missing from the Prime Minister's Mansion, which would be donated to the national treasury in the name of donations.

Thinking of his wife's silent dedication behind the scenes, Xu Chengling couldn't help but feel moved.

"Madam, you are so kind."

He suddenly hugged his wife from behind, holding this soft and warm body in his arms.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

Yan Jixue couldn't help but scream, startled by his sudden hug from behind, and the account book in her hand fell to the ground.

However, because she was not satisfied last night, after being hugged by Xu Chengling, a strong smell of male hormones hit her nose, making her lose all strength.

But soon, Yan Jixue couldn't help but frowned, and her slender hand skillfully found Xu Chengling's soft spot, and she twisted and pinched it with all the remaining strength in her body.

"hiss……"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but gasp and immediately let go of the woman in his arms.

He discovered that his wife had become more and more skilled at finding his weak spots.

Yan Jixue frowned slightly, glared at him fiercely, and said weakly:

"You smell like sweat, don't touch me, go take a shower, and wash your feet too."

"Oh, yes, sir."

After receiving the order from his wife, Xu Chengling hurried to find a place to take a bath.

Hehe, he found that this time the lady was not as resistant as before. If she washes her body clean next time, there is a high probability that she will succeed.

……

Recently, Xu Chengling has been a little depressed.

These days, he had been planning to make it up to his wife.

As a result, it just so happened that my wife had her period these few days.

Seeing how miserable he was, the lady thought of helping him with her hands.

As a result, my wife's hand was scratched again.

Moreover, these days, Xu Chengling did not sleep with his wife, but ran to Tongxin's room.

Today, he walked out of Tongxin's room again.

"Good morning, my lady."

Xu Chengling greeted his wife.

Looking at his wife sitting in the yard with an unsatisfied look on her face, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Because she had never been satisfied, Yan Jixue felt like she had no motivation at all.

Seeing Xu Chengling walking towards her, she responded softly and continued to look at her account book.

Seeing that his wife was in a bad mood, Xu Chengling came behind her and gently hugged her slender waist with both hands.

This time, the lady did not resist at all.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

Xu Chengling blew a puff of warm air gently into his wife's ear and asked with some concern.

After being blown by him, Yan Jixue's delicate body could not help but soften, and she said weakly:

"Not yet. It will take a few more days."

She knows the other person is very anxious, but don’t be anxious, she is anxious too.

Xu Chengling looked down at his wife's slender hands, and saw that her slender fingers were all cut. They had healed now, but it was still a little painful.

I can only say that this is the result of not using a kitchen knife properly.

After breakfast, Xu Chengling suddenly said to his wife:

"Madam, I'm going to Huaying Tower later."

"Oh."

When Yan Jixue learned that he was going to Huaying Tower, she did not react much.

Xu Chengling had already told her that he had accepted orders from His Majesty and was investigating spies from the Izumo Kingdom lurking in the capital.

"Go early and come back early, don't forget what I told you before."

"Remember, ma'am."

Xu Chengling nodded, turned around and left the courtyard.

As for the lady's previous instructions, it was naturally about redeeming Hanyu Sakura.

He took Tongxin with him and went to Huaying Tower again.

Walking on the street of Xueyuefang, there are people coming and going on the road. Not far away, you will reach Huayinglou.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Xu Chengling.

"Is that you, Master Xu?"

Hearing this voice, Xu Chengling couldn't help but turn around.

Behind him stood a girl in a pink dress with a fox mask on her face. Her purple hair was draped down to her waist and had a cute braid tied at the end.

Looking at the girl in front of him wearing a fox mask, he thought it was Miss Fox at first.

But upon closer inspection, the fox mask on the other person's face is not the same as Miss Fox. The two people are just similar in body shape. If you don't look at the face, you would think they are the same person.

"You are... Sakura?"

Chapter 170: The World of Rich People is Incomprehensible

Xu Chengling was very surprised to meet Hanyu Sakura on the street.

Normally speaking, the girls in this brothel are not allowed to leave unless there are special circumstances.

"What a coincidence, Miss Sakura, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xu Chengling greeted the girl in the pink skirt in front of him.

"It's a coincidence indeed, Master Xu."

Sakura Hanyu took off the fox mask on her face, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

She looked at the girl next to Xu Chengling, who was also a beautiful woman, and asked:

"Master Xu, is she your maid?"

"Well, her name is Tong Xin, and she's my personal maid."
