Chapter 36 The General's Little Darling
Chapter 36 The General's Little Darling
News of what happened at the manor quickly reached Xiao Shen's ears, and that very night, Xiao Shen rode his horse to the manor.
Ji Xiaosong had not yet rested and was pondering what would happen tonight.
The Second Prince's sudden attack was clearly aimed at her.
It's easy to understand without much thought that it must be because of childbirth.
Xiao Shen had prepared more guards for her than before, which meant he had probably already guessed it.
"Madam, are you alright?"
As soon as he dismounted, Xiao Shen rushed into Ji Xiaosong's courtyard.
God knows how nervous he was when the servant came to report.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance; otherwise, he couldn't imagine what he would have done if something had really happened.
"I'm fine. You arranged so many guards beforehand. They were very capable, and the Second Prince's men did not succeed."
Ji Xiaosong stood up and slowly approached Xiao Shen, then stretched out her arms and gently hugged him.
She rested her head on Xiao Shen's chest and said softly, "The Second Prince actually came in person today. Judging from his posture, it was as if he wanted to forcibly take me away. So blatant, I really don't know who gave him the courage."
Xiao Shen held Ji Xiaosong tightly, gently stroking her back, and said tenderly, "Madam, don't be afraid. With me here, I will not let anyone hurt you in the slightest. That Second Prince is audacious and reckless; I will make him pay the price."
"Madam, please don't worry about this anymore. Rest well, I'll stay here with you."
After saying this, Xiao Shen carried Ji Xiaosong to the bedside, took off her outer garment, helped her lie down, and then undressed himself and lay down beside her.
Ji Xiaosong nestled in Xiao Shen's arms, and Xiao Shen wrapped his arms around her, kissed her forehead, and coaxed her softly, "Sleep, my wife."
Although his wife appeared perfectly fine, who could be sure she wasn't just trying to appease him?
The fighting tonight is so fierce, his wife must be terrified.
She must have been afraid of worrying him, so she pretended to be strong and calm.
"But, my husband, I can't sleep."
Wasn't the Second Prince trying to take her away because he saw she could bear children?
Then let's have a few more, just to piss him off!
With Xiao Shen's abilities, I believe he can definitely protect her.
Since the birth of their child, the couple has not had a proper intimate moment together.
The midwife had previously warned Xiao Shen that a woman should not consummate the marriage after giving birth for several days. Because she had given birth to many children, Xiao Shen had never dared to touch her.
But in reality, she had already recovered.
"Are you scared?"
Xiao Shen was a little nervous. His wife was scared. How was he going to coax her?
"No."
Ji Xiaosong nestled in Xiao Shen's arms like a soft kitten, her lips parted slightly, her breath sweet as orchids, and she said coquettishly, "My husband, it's only been a few days, have you missed me?"
The lingering sound of longing lingered on the tip of her tongue, her voice soft and languid.
As she spoke, she buried her head deeper into Xiao Shen's firm chest, her hand seemingly tracing circles on his chest.
Taking advantage of Xiao Shen's inattention, she suddenly raised her head and gently touched his Adam's apple with her pearly teeth.
Xiao Shen was taken aback at first, but instantly understood her intention. His breathing became rapid, and his eyes seemed to burn with fierce fire.
He looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a hint of suppressed longing: "Madam, are you really sure? But the midwife said..."
"Shh..."
Ji Xiaosong gently placed her index finger on Xiao Shen's lips. "Husband, I'm really all better now. If you don't believe me, just try it yourself and you'll see."
She breathed softly, her hands wrapping tightly around Xiao Shen's neck like supple vines. She tilted her head back and offered her luscious lips, her tongue gently probing out to lick Xiao Shen's lips.
At this moment, Xiao Shen could no longer suppress the surging thoughts in his heart. He suddenly flipped over and pinned Ji Xiaosong down, responding to her kiss passionately like a wild beast.
Ji Xiaosong felt her whole body go soft and fluffy, as if wisps of heat were rising from within her.
The flowers outside are blooming, but it's not enough, far from enough.
The wind blew and circled the flower countless times.
The wind swayed the flowers in the night, as if they were the only two in the world. After a while, the flowers themselves seemed to hear the wind, and their branches even felt slightly warm.
The candlelight inside the room had not yet gone out, and the light made it seem as if the wind itself had a shadow.
At dawn the next day, the first rays of sunlight appeared.
Ji Xiaosong curled up in Xiao Shen's arms like a lazy kitten, her face full of satisfaction and shyness.
"Madam, may you return home?"
I will discuss it with my mother later before making a decision.
"But... I want my wife to return home as soon as possible."
As soon as he stopped, Xiao Shen was already thinking about how he could spend every night with his wife in the future.
If his wife doesn't come home, won't he have to stay home for a few more days?
This is simply...
I can't even stand the thought of it!
He had endured this for several months, and now that he could finally return to his old life, he was determined not to give up this opportunity.
"Husband, don't be anxious! I'm sure Mother and my two sisters-in-law were quite frightened by what happened last night. It's not impossible for them to return home today. Well, I need to sleep a little longer. I didn't sleep a wink last night, and I'm really tired."
Xiao Shen has excellent physical strength. Each time, Ji Xiaosong has to use her limited spiritual power to enjoy the experience without becoming too tired and fainting.
"Alright, Madam, go to sleep."
Xiao Shen held Ji Xiaosong tightly, feeling her breathing gradually become steady, and gently patted her back, as if he were coaxing a baby to sleep.
However, the soft, warm body in his arms caused his body to react involuntarily.
Ji Xiaosong seemed to sense something and playfully pinched Xiao Shen's waist, only to find that his waist was full of firm muscles and she couldn't twist it at all.
Xiao Shen couldn't help but chuckle softly, the laughter emanating from his chest, deep and magnetic.
He whispered in Ji Xiaosong's ear, "My lady, don't be angry. I won't bother you. Just sleep peacefully."
Ji Xiaosong hummed softly, snuggled closer to him, found a more comfortable position, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
When she woke up again, the setting sun was already hanging low on the mountainside.
Ji Xiaosong rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned to look at her side, but Xiao Shen was not there.
She got up, straightened her clothes, and was just about to go out when she saw Xiao Shen walk in with a smile on his face.
"Madam, you're awake."
"Where did you go just now?"
“I persuaded my mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law that we will take the four children back home today.”
"Alright...but..."
Before Ji Xiaosong could finish her sentence, Xiao Shen cut her off.
"Everything is packed. We're just waiting for you to get up so we can set off."
Well, she doesn't have to do anything; everyone else has done it for her.
"You guys are quick and efficient, without even asking what I think."
"Please don't be offended, Madam. I just really hope you can return to the manor soon so that our family can be reunited."
"You are the only one in a hurry."
Before long, the whole family got into the carriage and swayed leisurely towards the mansion.
Meanwhile, an unexpected guest awaited everyone's return at the General's Mansion.
