Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 372: I Wonder If Lady Wishes to Share My Bed Tonight
During the brief period of silence in Huai State, the Wu Navy and Fish Scale Guard conducted military exercises on the Huai River, maintaining constant war readiness and ensuring smooth passage between Linzhou and Huai State.
After seizing Huai State, the Chen Army was not short of funds or provisions. To boost the morale of the troops, Chen Mo frequently rewarded the three armies.
Besides maintaining a state of alert throughout the army, the remaining soldiers were tasked with guarding and training the defectors. Chen Mo entrusted this important task to Zhao Liang and Liu Ji. Liu Ji had many clever ideas; if he could integrate these defectors into the Xianzhen Guard, it would be a significant achievement.
Bear in mind, after capturing Huai State, the number of defectors captured was close to thirty thousand.
However, Chen Mo believed that the possibility of assimilating them was quite high.
One must understand that these defectors were mostly locals from Huai State. Their families were in Huai State, and as long as Chen Mo "treated" their families well, they would eventually comply over time.
The Yu State soldiers under Liang Song had come around this way as well.
To fortify Huai State, after capturing it, the Chen Army maintained strict discipline upon entering the city. Not only did they avoid any offenses, but they also compensated civilians who suffered losses due to the war. Most of the original officials remained in their posts, and the families of Huai Army soldiers in Fengzhou were also treated well. Additionally, the decree from Chen Ming denouncing Prince Huai gradually reduced local resistance to Chen Mo in Huai State.
...
Before receiving a response from Prince Huai, Chen Mo frequently exerted his influence over Madam Xiao and Madam Gan.
Leaving Chu Zheng and Chu Juan behind, he needed to eventually return children to Prince Huai.
On the night of August 22nd.
Chen Mo once again visited the residence where Prince Huai’s family was held.
Inside Madam Xiao’s room.
Madam Xiao kneeled behind a long table, sitting on her heels. The T-shaped support beneath her outlined her voluptuous figure.
The summer heat draped her in a long blue palace skirt, her full bosom nearly touching the table, while her slender legs were hidden beneath the skirt’s hem.
Madam Xiao gently caressed her lower abdomen, a worried look on her face. In the past half month, Chen Mo had favored her many times, each time without any contraception. She truly feared becoming pregnant.
Yet there was nothing she could do. Chen Mo provided all her meals, and she stayed in this courtyard all day, unable to leave.
If she ended up pregnant when returning to Prince’s side, claiming she hadn’t been defiled would be unbelievable.
At that moment, a familiar voice sounded from outside: "This is none of your business, leave us."
"Yes."
...
Madam Xiao’s body trembled; she had become accustomed to this voice over the past days. It was Chen Mo.
Her eyes darted around, seemingly looking for a suitable weapon for self-defense. Just as she removed the hairpin from her head, Chen Mo walked in and closed the door.
In the silence of the night, a lonely man and woman faced each other in the room, and the robust man before her carried an aura of wickedness.
"It seems Madam knew I was coming and untied her hair in advance," Chen Mo said.
Madam Xiao’s hand holding the hairpin trembled; her cheeks blushed with embarrassment.
"Marquis... Marquis, it’s so late, why have you come here?" Madam Xiao stood up, asking timidly in a low voice.
Chen Mo went straight to sit by the bed and smiled, "I wonder if Madam is willing to share the bed with me tonight?"
Saying this, Chen Mo patted the space next to him, signaling for Madam Xiao to sit.
Madam Xiao grew more anxious, raising her hand with the hairpin in front of her chest, and said, trembling, "I... I can’t betray the Prince anymore."
Even her usual self-reference was gone.
Chen Mo frowned, his voice cold, "Come here."
"When..." Frightened by Chen Mo’s words, Madam Xiao dropped the jade hairpin, shattering it, and took two steps back. But seeing Chen Mo’s icy gaze, she timidly walked over. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Hurry up." Chen Mo urged.
Madam Xiao sped up a little.
As she got close, she exclaimed softly as Chen Mo pulled her into his embrace.
His hand slid under her palace skirt, peeling away the smooth skin underneath.
"Mm～"
Madam Xiao’s delicate nose let out a moan, her voluptuous body shivering slightly as if electrified, but soon she began to cooperate.
Her body gradually accustomed to Chen Mo’s touch.
Her mouth continually resisted, but the strength in her hands was as if merely tickling.
As she was about to speak, Chen Mo’s lips sealed hers, forcing her to half-sigh, allowing him to taste her, muttering without forming words.
Thus, Madam Xiao’s heart was filled with shame, anger, and an inexplicable pleasure.
"Again betraying the Prince..." Madam Xiao wept inside, completely losing the ability to resist.
...
Leaving Madam Xiao’s room, Chen Mo headed to Madam Gan’s courtyard, planning to spend the night there.
Early the next morning, Madam Gan suddenly exclaimed softly, springing up from the bed.
Being a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, her movements were spry.
The warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting on her bronzed, muscled chest. Madam Gan stared directly, feeling a rush of shyness, her eyes darting around in panic. Thinking of her actions last night filled her with embarrassment.
She hurriedly gathered her disheveled clothes and dressed hastily.
Chen Mo lay in bed, arms behind his head, watching her dress, her disheveled hair being tidied up, and as she completely straightened her clothing, he said lightly, "You should help me get up."
Madam Gan just recovered some color, her cheeks blushing again, tidal waves of coyness rising within her.
But she dared not defy Chen Mo, only obediently assisting him to get up and dress.
"So obedient," Chen Mo pinched Madam Gan’s cheek, saying, "I really want to keep Madam forever by my side."
Madam Gan was greatly alarmed, "You promised, you can’t break your word."
"Just a thought. Rest assured, I, the Marquis, keep my word."
Madam Gan’s son was only thirteen; if she wasn’t let go, how could she compete with Madam Hui and Madam Xiao?
Hearing this, Madam Gan finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowing gracefully to Chen Mo.
...
Leaving Madam Gan’s courtyard, just about to exit the residence, Chen Mo saw a familiar figure.
Xiao Yunxi wore a luxurious white palace dress, her hair coiled in a bun, revealing a beautiful swan neck, her small face tender and lovely, cherry lips moist and inviting, seemingly having just finished breakfast, holding a child as she strolled leisurely.
But the child seemed hungry, tugging at Xiao Yunxi’s sleeve, surprisingly strong, pulling it open, exposing her full, round bosom beneath the white dress, trembling with her steps.
Xiao Yunxi paused, hurriedly trying to carry the child back inside, but it was too late; she sensed a burning gaze directed her way.
