I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

"Someone, bring me some water to wash."

Cheng Rui spent the night in the study. It wasn't that the quilt was uncomfortable, it was quite soft, or that the bed was unsuitable, but he just couldn't sleep and felt a little irritable.

"Sir, the water is here." The attendant brought a basin of clean water, soaked the towel in it, wrung it dry, and handed it to Cheng Rui.

"Xiao He, why are you here? Where's your wife?" Normally, his wife would help him wash and eat, but he suddenly remembered that his wife was sick these days, so she naturally couldn't help her.

But seeing that she was fine yesterday, Cheng Rui felt relieved.

"Sir, Madam asked me to tell you that she is going to Yuecheng. Everything at home has been arranged. You don't have to worry."

"Madam has returned to Yuecheng? She just got well and she's running out. She really doesn't take care of her body."

Qian'er's parents' home is in Yuecheng. Although it is not far from Yuecheng, he rarely accompanies Qian'er back there over the past ten years. Except for the time when she returned home and stayed for a few days, he would return on the same day when he occasionally went there.

How many times can you count on one hand? He is busy with official duties and has no time. Besides, he has no common topics with his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

He married his wife just to repay her gratitude, and because his wife insisted on marrying him, she often quarreled with his father-in-law. His father-in-law could only use the excuse of "selecting a son-in-law from the list" to fool others.

In recent years, his wife has come home less often, and when she does, she only comes back every other day. She says she is worried about him being left alone to take care of him. This was how she lived before he got married.

What's there to worry about? Women just like to fantasize. But my father-in-law and his brother-in-law have both enjoyed successful careers in the past ten years, and my father-in-law will be old enough to retire in a few years.

My eldest brother-in-law has a bright future. Although he is of similar age to me, he is already a third-rank vice minister of the Ministry of Justice. Although my father-in-law is about to retire, he is still in charge of the Ministry of Personnel as a second-rank minister.

As a fourth-rank official, he would either be scolded or criticized by his eldest brother-in-law if he went to his father-in-law's house, so he was unwilling to go. If Qian'er's poison could not be controlled, he would ask his father-in-law for help even if he was scolded and beaten.

Fortunately, he was able to control himself, otherwise he would not only have to ask them for help, but also have to apologize.

But now he seems to have fallen into another big pit, which feels more troublesome than asking his father-in-law for help. Forget it, just take it one step at a time!

The General's Mansion

"Bianbian, where is Shangguan Yan? Shangguan Yan kept pestering you yesterday, and I didn't even have a chance to talk to her. Have you noticed that we seem to have become much stronger?"

"He went to some secret camp and said he would be back later. As for strength? I think so. I was so annoyed by him yesterday that I forgot about it. I was actually able to pick up Cheng Rui, a handsome guy who is over 180 meters tall."

Chen Bianbian looked at her own hands and felt as if that moment yesterday was just a dream. She was a delicate woman who could not carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands!

"What camp? Could he have gone to the Dark Guard Camp? He told you this! It seems like he is really honest with you.

Also, the point is not about being a handsome guy! Now I have become as strong as you, and I don’t want to become a muscular loli. Is this because of drinking that flower water? "

Shangguan Yue was so nervous. If she grew up to be an angel with a macho body, she would explode right there! She only liked devilish bodies.

"How about we cook it again and have a try?"

"No, no! I'm afraid I've unlocked something again. How come Xiaoman and Baizhi are fine? It seems like I'm the only one who has the biggest problem after we drank.

You can lift up a big man easily, but when I got up today I accidentally crushed a comb into powder. But this is not the legendary internal strength!

Isn't it true that internal strength requires the Qi to be transferred to the hands in order to crush things? I have nothing but anger in my stomach, and I'm afraid I'll turn into a monster."

"Then stop drinking. What you said is scary. I feel a little scared. I don't dare to touch anything hard now. Should I tell that guy that you have supernatural powers for no reason?"

"Let's both take it easy and wait a few days to see if we can get back to normal. If you say that now, he might know that you hugged Cheng Rui and he'll probably be jealous again."

"........."

"Madam, Madam Cheng came to our house specifically to thank you."

"Xiao Man, are you talking about Cheng Rui's wife Zeng Qian'er from Lincheng? How many people are here?"

"Yes, yes, it's her. Just her, a maid, and two grooms."

"Xiaoyue, you said she came alone, but Cheng Rui didn't come. Do you think Cheng Rui knew his wife was coming?"

Chen Bianbian was a little curious. She had just controlled the poison yesterday, but today she came alone to thank her. It always felt weird. It was normal for a normal person to come together with her husband to thank her after some time.

"She came all the way here, there's no way Cheng Rui didn't know about it. Qian'er is a well-behaved and virtuous person, there's no way she didn't tell Cheng Rui.

But why did he trust her to come alone without any guards? Unless Cheng Rui had misunderstood something, is there any place in Yuecheng that Cheng Rui could trust?"

Shangguan Yue didn't understand either, so she decided to receive the guests first.

"Xiao Man, please invite Madam Cheng to Junlan Garden! She came here in a carriage anyway, so she can just sit here."

Chen Bianbian was too lazy to go to the gate to meet him, as he had come so far. He said he wanted to express his gratitude, but who knew what the problem was.

"As the general's wife, why don't you go to greet the guests? The visitors might think you are not observing etiquette!"

Looking at Xiaoman walking away, Shangguan Yue said with a smile.

"You will observe these etiquettes? Who knows why she came all this way alone? She is not the emperor's old man, so you should show your power first!"

"........."

"Sister Lan'er, your sister Qian'er came all the way from Lincheng to thank you. I want to come to Yuecheng to play for a while, so I'm sorry to bother you. These are the thank-you gifts I brought to you, Hua'er, bring the gift list over here."

"Mrs. Cheng...this." Chen Bianbian didn't expect that Cheng Rui's wife would come so quickly. Is she so familiar?

They had only met once! They hadn't even seen clearly yesterday whether this person was round or flat! Today, he came and wanted to take her in for a while.

How long is a period of time? Normally, servants are asked to bring gifts. How can you stay overnight at someone else's house when you are not familiar with them? How long does it take?

Could it be that Mrs. Cheng has some kind of fetish? She likes beautiful women?

Chen Bianbian rubbed the goose bumps on his arms in fear.

Chen Bianbian took the gift list handed over by Mrs. Cheng and took a look at it, his eyeballs bulged.

How generous! Three thousand taels of silver, ten pieces of brocade, twenty pieces of jewelry, ten pieces of jade ornaments, and a cart of Lincheng specialties...

As Chen looked at the gift list, the corners of her mouth twitched. She wanted to hug these gifts and laugh, but she had to restrain herself and not lose face in front of others.

Shangguan Yue knew Bianbian's character very well, so she reached out and shook her.

"Mrs. Cheng, this is too expensive. I'm glad you're fine. No need to be so polite... You can stay as long as you want. We can sleep together tonight..."

Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense is she talking about? She clearly thought that this was a rich woman and she had to treat her well. In the evening, she personally arranged a one-stop service for the rich woman including food, accommodation and entertainment.

Mrs. Cheng smiled so sweetly! The general's wife was really interesting. She was looking forward to sleeping in the same bed with him at night.

“………” Shangguan Yue was speechless. Bianbian had this damn bad habit of slipping his tongue. She would be in big trouble when Shangguan Yan came back tonight.
