The first time in history

Just before the city gates were closed, Qian Mingduo led his troops into the city. He ordered the officers to settle the personal guards, and then returned to the mansion with Ling'er and Su Yao.

It was Zhang Ma's husband who opened the door. He was overjoyed to see Ling'er. He also saw Qian Mingduo and Su Yao standing behind him, so he quickly knelt to greet them.

All the candles in the backyard have been extinguished. I guess everyone has gone to rest.

"Master is back!" Ling'er shouted loudly while standing in the yard.

Qian Mingduo originally wanted to avoid disturbing his family, but Ling'er...

The candles in each room were lit one after another, and Qian Mingduo even heard a few children crying. This was the smell of home, this was the warmth of home.

"Zhengyi, you didn't even send someone to tell me before you came back!" Li Shishi walked down the stone steps and held Qian Mingduo's hand tightly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Qian Mingduo hugged Li Shishi, "Are you all okay?"

"Master!" Lu Shishi and Xiao Cui walked up to Qian Mingduo and bowed. In this mansion, only Li Shishi called Qian Mingduo by his name, and everyone else was reluctant to call him Master.

"Go prepare the meal, the master hasn't eaten yet!" Ling'er said to the cook.

Li Shishi held Qian Mingduo's hand tightly, "Let's go see your two daughters first!" She placed his hand on Lu Shishi's abdomen, "There's another one here."

"Master!" Lu Shishi raised her eyes and looked at Qian Mingduo, "I wonder if it's another little girl."

"Whether you are a rich girl or a young master, I am happy." Qian Mingduo said to Xiao Cui, "Are the children asleep? I just heard a child crying."

"Everyone, go to bed. It's late. Let's look after the child tomorrow." Li Shishi ordered everyone to go into the hall. "Why did you come back to Beijing this time?"

Several maids took off Qian Mingduo's outer robes. "A few days ago, we defeated the Jin army. The emperor issued an order to summon me to the capital to report on my work. That's why I decided to return to the capital at the last minute. I didn't have time to tell you in advance."

"Tell the cook to hurry up and cook." Li Shishi then said to the maid beside her, "Go and boil a few large buckets of hot water and bring the bathtub into my bedroom. After dinner, I will help the master take a bath."

Ling'er, who was standing aside, blushed.

While eating, Qian Mingduo chatted with everyone about family matters. Ling'er went to the kitchen to eat, Su Yao sat at the table and had dinner with Qian Mingduo, then went back to the house to rest.

"Shishi, Xiaocui, you should go and have some rest. I will serve the master tonight." Li Shishi returned to the bedroom and tested the water temperature. "I will return the master to you tomorrow. You won't blame me, right?"

"Madam," Lu Shishi smiled, "The master belongs to you tonight. My sister Xiao Cui and I are waiting in line for the master."

Qian Mingduo felt strange, thinking that this was good in ancient society. As long as the wives and concubines did not fight over love, there would be harmony. Ancient times were still good!

Li Shishi closed the bedroom door, and when she turned around, she was hugged tightly by Qian Mingduo. She covered Qian Mingduo's mouth and said, "I will help you take a bath first, and then..."

"What do you mean by you help me take a bath?" Qian Mingduo winked at Li Shishi, "We should take a bath together."

Li Shishi took off Qian Mingduo's clothes and they both got into the bathtub. The warmth of the water made Qian Mingduo relax.

"Lie over here," Li Shishi said tenderly, "I'll rub your back."

"Is it more comfortable to take a bath at home than in a big tent?"

"You've got the idea to ask Ling'er to bring a big bathtub." Qian Mingduo kissed Li Shishi and turned over to lie on the edge of the bathtub. "There's no time to take a bath on the road, and there's even less time to take a bath when we get to the front line."

"Wouldn't the bathtub be filled with white discharge?" Li Shishi gently wiped Qian Mingduo's back.

"It's not really a leucorrhea, I only used it once."

"Who helped you wash?" Li Shishi slowly lay on Qian Mingduo's back, "You have Ling'er and Miss Su Yao by your side."

"Ling'er is your undercover agent. She will do whatever you tell her to do." Qian Mingduo turned and looked at Li Shishi. "You let her replace you, and she will replace you obediently. But..."

"But what?"

"She only replaced you for a while on the first day, but... you know." Qian Mingduo picked up Li Shishi, stepped out of the bathtub, and gently put her on the bed. "In my heart, no one can replace you."

"I know," Li Shishi nodded shyly, "You are my little enemy."

Two maids were waiting in the yard to pour the bath water. Ling'er walked into the yard and said to them, "Go and have a rest. You won't be needed to serve me tonight."

Qian Mingduo looked at Li Shishi affectionately, "How lucky I am to have you as my wife."

"I want you to treat me well today!" Li Shishi hugged Qian Mingduo's neck tightly, "Just like you used to."

The curtains of the bed slowly dropped, and the red candle on the candlestick at the bedside began to sway slightly. Until the light and shadow swayed violently...

Qian Mingduo fell on the bed, panting. Li Shishi lay on his chest, her back moving up and down with her rapid breathing.
