After listening for a while, Yang Yuhuan finally understood Jiang Che's so-called plan. Wasn't it just that he coveted the other's beauty?
"How dare you slander my husband?"
"Today I'll show you the power of family discipline!"
Jiang Che spoke fiercely, grabbed Yang Yuhuan's black-stockinged peach-shaped buttocks, and pounced on her!
"Well………"
.....................................
096: Yun Ying, who was filled with shame and indignation, said, "I'll just crush you to death!"
A spring breeze overnight can turn clouds into rain.
The next day, early in the morning.
"My lord, I need to rest..."
Yang Yuhuan nestled in Jiang Che's arms, her alluring eyes filled with spring-like charm, her gaze like water. She stretched out her slender hand and drew circles on Jiang Che's chest, her expression languid, her red lips slightly parted.
As she spoke, Yang Yuhuan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her pretty face was flushed, and her breathing was steady.
She was exhausted after staying up all night.
Although she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Yang Yuhuan was clearly no match for Jiang Che, a rising star.
"Get a good night's sleep..."
Jiang Che reached out and wiped away the tears from Yang Yuhuan's eyes. He took a silk quilt from the side and covered her with it. He then put on a brand new white robe before quietly leaving the room.
........................
As the sun rises in the east and dawn breaks, the sky becomes dimly lit.
Jiang Che strolled leisurely down the corridor, his face refreshed and his mind clear. He felt an inexplicable sense of well-being throughout his body!
"Now it's time to cooperate with Diao Chan in her act..."
With a light laugh, Jiang Che continued walking towards the hall without stopping.
Jiang Che couldn't let Diao Chan down, given her dedication, and wanted to put on a good show with her.
Upon arriving at the hall, Mai Shiranui, Xi Shi, A Li Yun Ying, and Cai Wen Ji were all present, while Diao Chan and Xiao Lian, along with other maids, stood obediently to the side.
Looking at the several women chatting and laughing in the hall, Diao Chan smiled sweetly on the surface, but inwardly she was cursing them out.
Jiang Che is really lucky with women!
Before coming to Chang'an, she knew nothing about Jiang Che's situation, and therefore did not know that Jiang Che would have so many beautiful women around him, almost all of whom were no less beautiful than herself.
Diao Chan felt immense pressure. With such beautiful wives and concubines, it wouldn't be easy for her to use her beauty to seduce Jiang Che.
In an instant, Diao Chan felt a sense of unease, her mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, and the confidence she had just built up the night before almost crumbled.
Jiang Che observed Diao Chan's various expressions and chuckled inwardly before heading straight to the main seat and taking his place.
"My husband, you've come!"
Upon seeing Jiang Che arrive, Ali's eyes lit up, and she greeted him with a gentle smile.
Not seeing Yang Yuhuan didn't surprise A-Li at all; she knew that Yang Yuhuan must have been thoroughly ravaged by her husband last night, which was why she hadn't come for breakfast.
"Hehe, this steamed bun is delicious..."
"Brother, you should try some too..."
Cai Wenji smacked her lips and mumbled indistinctly, her chubby cheeks puffing out as she handed a small steamed bun to Jiang Che's bowl.
"Wenji is so good..."
Jiang Che smiled and patted Cai Wenji's head, then stated his request.
"Wenji, where is your huqin?"
"How about your brother keeps it for you for the time being?"
"Hujia zither..."
"Hmm... okay..."
Cai Wenji was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Jiang Che to suddenly make such a request, but she did not refuse. She calmed her mind slightly, took out the Hujia zither from her storage bracelet, and handed it to Jiang Che.
The hujiaqin (a type of zither) is one of the few heirlooms left to her by her father, Cai Yong, and it holds great significance for her.
She would naturally not give it to an ordinary person if they asked for it.
But Jiang Che is her good brother, so isn't it normal for him to want to keep her father's belongings safe for her?
Therefore, the little girl handed the erhu to Jiang Che almost without hesitation.
"So good..."
"Your brother will take good care of the erhu for you..."
Jiang Che glanced at Diao Chan out of the corner of his eye and caught a fleeting glimpse of longing in her eyes. He smiled faintly and made a promise.
Now that the Huqin is in his hands, it's impossible for Diaochan to seize it by chance.
Charm magic is ineffective against me, so I can't just rob you directly, can I?
If Diao Chan really had that kind of guts, Jiang Che would definitely suppress her and teach her a lesson!
"Uh-huh…"
"Wenji believes in her brother!"
..............................
"Wenji, I have to go back first. I'll come back to play with you later..."
After breakfast, Xi Shi bid farewell to Cai Wenji, squatted down, and pinched Cai Wenji's soft little face.
Having not returned home all night, Xi Shi had already received a message from Ji Xiaoman via a spirit stone. She decided to return to Honglu Temple first to explain things to her senior sister before coming to Qingyun Manor to accompany Cai Wenji.
"OK…"
"Then remember to come back early, sister!"
Cai Wenji nodded obediently, without saying much, only giving a single instruction, which was very cute, like a little adult.
"So good..."
"Sister will definitely come back soon~"
Xi Shi couldn't resist and kissed Cai Wenji's delicate, smooth, and soft face before leaving Qingyun Manor.
"Brother, Wenji helped you keep Xi Shi with you..."
"Hehe, brother, is there any reward?"
After Xi Shi left, Cai Wenji blinked her bright and lovely eyes and looked at Jiang Che expectantly.
"Oh?"
"What reward does Wenji want?"
Jiang Che embraced the little girl and asked with a faint smile.
This little girl has truly won my heart!
Previously, Jiang Che had never imagined that Cai Wenji would one day become his wingman, a truly great help!
"I want a kiss~"
Cai Wenji spoke in a childish voice, pointing with her delicate white finger to the other cheek that hadn't been kissed.
Jiang Che naturally did as he was told, giving Cai Wenji a kiss on the cheek, which immediately made the little girl overjoyed and giggle.
"Go play with your sister Ali and the others, your brother has something to do..."
After teasing the little girl for a while, Jiang Che finally took her off his arms.
"Okay!"
Cai Wenji didn't ask any more questions, nodded obediently, and then skipped away on her short legs.
"What an adorable little guy..."
Watching Cai Wenji's departing figure, Jiang Che was filled with mixed emotions.
Cai Wenji had none of the typical childish quirks. She was well-behaved, sensible, and adorable, giving Jiang Che the illusion that he was raising a daughter.
If he really has a daughter in the future, she will probably be as cute as Cai Wenji, right?
"Does the young master like children very much?"
Diao Chan stood gracefully beside Jiang Che, and suddenly asked a question, her eyes filled with a clear foolishness.
She had witnessed the entire interaction between Jiang Che and Cai Wenji, and could naturally sense Jiang Che's heartfelt affection for Cai Wenji.
Diao Chan's original plan was to slowly approach Cai Wenji and gradually plot against her for the Hujia zither. However, now that the Hujia zither has been entrusted to Jiang Che for safekeeping, Diao Chan naturally shifted her focus and placed all her attention on Jiang Che.
Her primary task was to acquire the Hu Jia zither; only by successfully bringing it back to the Wei capital and handing it over to Cao Cao could her mission be considered complete.
Otherwise, if the mission cannot be completed after one year...
As if recalling some extremely terrifying scene, Diao Chan trembled all over, couldn't help but shiver, and her pretty face turned slightly pale.
People like her in the Blood Shadow Legion had all taken Cao Cao's Ten Thousand Poison Pill. They had to take the antidote every six months, or they would die from festering sores all over their bodies and suffer excruciating pain, like being devoured by a thousand ants, before they died.
To intimidate his subordinates and to reassure the Blood Shadow Legion, Cao Cao had the legion members witness the horrific effects of the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill on more than one occasion, and Diao Chan had naturally seen it as well.
Therefore, even though she had long since left Wei capital and could no longer be detected by the Blood Shadows, Diao Chan dared not disobey Cao Cao's orders until the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Pill was completely removed from her body, and could only work for him with peace of mind.
Previously, she had consulted many books on alchemy, including some unorthodox cultivation methods, but she had never found any record of the Ten Thousand Poison Pill, and she didn't know where Cao Cao got this poison pill from.
She longed to break free from Cao Cao's control and live a free life, but she clearly didn't have that right now.
If Hu Jiaqin cannot be brought back to Weidu within a year, and the next antidote for suppressing the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill is not obtained, her fate is predictable...
With this in mind, Diao Chan's eyes hardened again, and she made up her mind.
No matter the cost, she was determined to win over Hu Jiaqin this time!
