As the sun sets and the moon rises, night falls, and the capital city, where the lanterns are lit, is gradually enveloped in the clear radiance of the bright moon.
At this time, Liu Mingzhi was still concentrating on reviewing the documents in his hand under the flickering candlelight, completely unaware that night had fallen outside the window.
In half a day, Liu Mingzhi had finished reviewing three piles of more than 20 documents.
Just as Young Master Liu picked up a new document and was about to read it, there was a sudden knock on the door in the study, interrupting his attempt to open the document.
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at the shadowy figure outside the door.
"who?"
Qinglian's soft voice immediately sounded outside the door: "Husband, this is me, I have brought you a midnight snack."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Qinglian's figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and placed the pen in his hand on the inkstone.
"Lian'er, come in."
"Why."
The door opened in response. Qinglian picked up a tray with a wrist on it and walked lightly into the study. She walked to the desk lightly and stopped, then directly put the tray in her hand on the table. .
"Husband, I have cooked a bowl of eight-treasure porridge for you. If you are not too busy now, drink it while it is hot."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qinglian's rather gloomy pretty face. He picked up the silk cloth next to him and wiped the ink marks on his hands. He chuckled and opened his arms to the beauty.
"Come, sit on my husband's lap."
Seeing her husband's chuckle, Qinglian nodded silently, walked over and bent down to sit on Young Master Liu's legs.
Liu Mingzhi took advantage of the situation and put his hands around the beauty's slender but slightly plump willow waist. He sniffed the beauty's hair that exuded a faint fragrance and sighed softly.
"Silly Lian'er, why do you look so depressed? Are you still blaming yourself for what happened to Hoshino?"
Sakai Hoshino nodded silently, with a downcast face and her pretty face nestled on her husband's shoulder.
"Husband, isn't Lian'er very bad?"
"How could it be? Lian'er, you are not bad! In my mind, my husband, you sisters are all the best women in the world. I can marry you sisters because I have cultivated them for my husband for three lifetimes. Blessing.”
Qinglian couldn't help but raise a bitter smile on her lips when she heard her husband's affectionate words.
"Husband, please don't comfort Lian'er.
After the banquet was over, I went back to the room and thought a lot. I really shouldn't interfere in the affairs between your husband and the country girl.
Even if Lian'er has good intentions, she shouldn't interfere in your affairs.
Sister Hoshino is such an innocent person, but I want to get her drunk. This kind of behavior is really too much.
Whenever I think back to Sister Hoshino's innocent smile, Lian'er can't help but feel a sense of guilt in her heart. I really did something wrong today.
Although my original intention of doing this was out of good intentions, I ignored one thing, that is, sometimes good intentions may lead to bad things.
Husband, why don't you just blame Lian'er for a few words, otherwise Lian'er may not be able to get over this hurdle. "
Liu Mingzhi released his hands around the beauty Liu's waist, stood up slightly and reached out to pick up the porridge bowl on the tray. Seeing this, Qinglian hurriedly took the porridge bowl from her husband's hand.
"Husband, I am sitting on your lap and it is inconvenient for you to drink porridge. I will feed you."
Qinglian took a little porridge water with a spoon, blew it gently, and carefully put it into her husband's mouth.
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of porridge water and hugged the beautiful woman's waist.
"Lian'er, I really don't blame you for this. You don't need to blame yourself. If you really want to blame me, you should blame your husband."
"How can I blame you, husband? It's obviously my fault."
"Of course it's my husband's fault. If my husband didn't get involved with women first and something beyond friendship happened with Hoshino, you wouldn't have thought of getting her drunk today.
If I really say I'm wrong, it's my husband's fault and it has nothing to do with you.
Silly Lian'er, you are just doing this to make things better between your husband and Hoshino. After all, your original intention is still for your husband.
If you consider your husband so much, how can your husband blame you? "
Hearing her husband's gentle and considerate words, Qinglian's pretty eyes instantly filled with deep emotion.
"Really? Husband, do you really not blame me?"
"I really don't blame you. Not only do you not blame your husband, but I think even Hoshino won't blame you.
Don't say that you didn't get her drunk today. Even if you did get her drunk today and she and her husband became a couple naturally, Hoshino would not blame you.
I don’t want to lie to you, and I have never wanted to lie to you. I can tell you frankly that Hoshino and I are only one step away from a true incompatibility.
Therefore, even if you really get Hoshino drunk and let something happen between her and her husband, it will only speed up the fusion between me and her.
That is to say, no matter Lian'er drinks Hoshino's drink today or not, my husband will probably reach that point in the end.
It's just a matter of time. How could Hoshino blame you?
Alas, if you want to blame it, it’s all your husband’s fault.
It's my fault that I'm too carefree as a husband. I already have you sisters, a group of charming and charming women, but I still want to provoke other women. "
"I don't blame my husband, I don't blame my husband, it's my sisters who didn't do what they should do as a lady.
The youngest of the concubine sisters is now in her thirties. It’s long past time for you to prepare several rooms for your husband to have young and beautiful concubines to serve him.
However, until now, the concubine sisters have not even arranged a concubine room for your husband. It is the concubine sisters who have not fulfilled their duties as women.
Husband, why don't I go back immediately to discuss with Sister Yun and arrange for you two young and beautiful concubines as soon as possible?
I don’t know what kind of concubine you like, husband. When I take a concubine for you, I will try my best to choose a husband based on the appearance that my husband likes. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qinglian's serious expression, feeling both moved and helpless in his heart.
"Lian'er, there is no need to mention the matter of taking a concubine for my husband. If I really wanted to take a concubine for my husband, I would have taken the initiative to tell you sisters.
I am content as a husband if I can have you sisters by my side in this life. "
"But, my sisters are already old and perverted after all..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qinglian's tangled expression and directly planned the beauty's words.
"Lian'er!"
"Husband?"
"Lian'er, what I said to my husband is true. I am lucky enough to be able to stay with you sisters for the rest of my life.
My husband is already that old now, and he really doesn’t want to have anything to do with some young and beautiful girls.
When you are alive, you should be content and happy! "
"What about you and Hoshino-san?"
"Hoshino is my husband's old acquaintance, and she is also a stunning beauty about the same age as your sisters, so my husband has some romantic affairs with her.
My husband can swear to God with all his conscience that if Hoshino was a young girl in her prime, twenty-eight years, or two decades, my husband would never have gotten to this point with her.
When my husband said this, it was not because my husband had changed his temper and no longer loved beauties, but because my husband had his own considerations.
Young and beautiful young girls are certainly beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but for a husband, it is better not to provoke her. "
"Oh, I know."
"Silly Lian'er, don't think too much, just feed your husband some porridge."
Qinglian once again scooped up a bowl of porridge and brought it to her husband's mouth. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Husband, how about I, my sister, take sister Qingrui home?
Although Miss Qingrui is a little older now, she is perfect for you, my husband.
First of all, Sister Qingrui's appearance is the best choice. Except for Sister Wanyuan, almost all our sisters are slightly inferior.
Secondly, Miss Qingrui has a lively yet gentle personality, so being with your husband is a perfect match.
Thirdly, Miss Qingrui is a little older and has separated from her husband, who you said you don’t want to mess with young girls..."
"Lian'er."
"Husband?"
"Have some porridge. You sisters don't have to worry about Miss Ren. You have your own considerations for your husband."
"Oh, okay, I know."
Under Qinglian's service, a bowl of porridge and water gradually entered Young Master Liu's stomach.
As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you miss your wife.
Liu Mingzhi saw Qinglian put the porridge bowl back on the tray, picked it up in his arms, and walked towards the soft table next to the bookshelf for a nap while laughing.
"Husband."
"嘤咛~~"
The moonlight is hazy and the autumn night is getting colder, but it still cannot stop the sultry scenery of spring.
