Chapter 470: In This Life, I Only Want You ( 3 )
Meeting his wife’s gaze, Lu Qianxuan continued, “Back then, I was injured and damaged my foundation. The possibility of me siring a child was low to begin with.”
“Added to how busy I was and how rarely we shared a room, wasn’t it normal that you didn’t conceive? What right do they have to blame you when they know nothing?”
Xue Ya’er was helpless when she heard this.
“We both know, but others don’t. So, it’s normal for some people to harbor this kind of intention.”
Lu Qianxuan understood that he was being unreasonable. But he was unwilling to let his wife carry the blame when she had done nothing wrong.
After a moment, he finally calmed down and said, “Wife, I won’t agree to this matter. In this life, I only want you.”
“Now that I have already recovered, the matter of children will come naturally. You don’t need to listen to other people’s words. Our marriage only has enough space for you and me.”
When she heard her husband’s words, Xue Ya’er had to admit that she had fallen even deeper for him.
For the first time in her life, she threw the rules out of her mind and leaned closer to kiss him.
Her kiss was not a fleeting one, but a deep, lingering kiss.
At first, Lu Qianxuan was taken aback by his wife’s sudden initiative. But he was not someone who would refuse any affection given by her.
So, before she could pull away, he pulled her into his lap and wrapped one arm around her waist. His other hand caressed her back until it reached her nape.
As he deepened the kiss, he gently massaged her scalp and brushed his fingers against her earlobes.
Feeling relaxed and aroused by her husband’s touch and kisses, Xue Ya’er let out a restrained, soft moan.
The moment he heard his wife’s soft sound, Lu Qianxuan’s mind went blank, and his heartbeat quickened instantly.
They kissed for a long time before he finally let her go.
With their foreheads touching, he breathed heavily and muttered softly, “Ya’er, you are testing my limits.”
Xue Ya’er was dazed by her husband’s kisses and reacted more slowly than usual. It took her a long time to regain her senses, and her cheeks flushed red.
Pushing him away, she freed herself and tidied her hair and clothes.
She didn’t dare go out looking like this, so she stayed in the tent for another hour before returning to the General’s mansion.
Now that the matter regarding her distant maternal cousin had been settled with her husband, she sent a letter back to Zhu’an Town. The letter was addressed to Steward Han.
Meanwhile, Yao Zhi, who was using her disguise as Hu Niang, was on her way to the location prepared by Lu Qianxuan as the salt workshop and warehouse.
When the horse carriage parked outside the newly built small temple, Lu Qianxuan’s personal guards, who disguised themselves as local villagers, glanced in her direction.
They had been informed by their Master that Young Master Lei would come to inspect the workshop and location. So, when the one coming out of the carriage was a woman with beauty that could topple a kingdom, everyone was stunned.
Yao Zhi reached out her hand, and Kui Baiyi quickly supported her. As she stepped onto the wooden stool, Yao Zhi observed the surroundings.
The location was far from the villages and towns, but not too desolate. The road had been rebuilt and paved with stones and mud, making it more solid compared to dirt roads.
To keep up her persona, Yao Zhi waved her silk handkerchief for a moment before covering her nose with it. As she entered the temple, she frowned and said, “What kind of temple is this? Look at how dilapidated this place is.”
Despite her complaints, her voice was melodious, and her tone carried a hint of coquettishness. Not to mention the men, even some village women couldn’t help but take several more glances at her.
Not long after she stepped into the main hall, she noticed several monks inside. As a cultivator, she could feel the energy fluctuations in her surroundings. So, she knew whether these people were ordinary commoners or martial artists.
She had already received the Marquis of Zhongyong’s letter, so she knew that one of these people was her contact person.
Instead of searching for the contact person, Yao Zhi lit the incense and prayed for a while. When she was done, she followed the believers and drew a fortune stick.
Showing the fortune stick to the monk sitting at the small desk near the entrance of the main hall, she asked, “Master, can you help me interpret my fortune stick?”
The young monk was not a real monk. He was Lu Qianxuan’s shadow guard and had been assigned the mission of guarding this place with his team. So, he was not immune to Hu Niang’s charms.
When he met her eyes, he couldn’t help but blush. To avoid exposing his identity, he quickly lowered his head and checked the fortune stick.
After a moment, he said, “Benefactor, you drew the best fortune stick and obtained a chance to meet with the Abbot. Please follow me to the back hall.”
Yao Zhi nodded and followed him. As she walked, her hips swayed slightly, leaving people who looked at her with wild imaginations.
Unaware of the sins she had just created, Yao Zhi arrived at the praying room located in the backyard.
The young monk gestured for her to enter and said, “Benefactor, the Abbot is inside.”
Yao Zhi smiled at him before she knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Hearing this, she pushed the door open and walked inside. Sitting on the praying mat was an old man with white eyebrows and a white beard. His face was full of wrinkles, and his skin was slightly sagging.
Seeing him, Yao Zhi raised her eyebrows.
“Greetings, Abbot,” she said as she bowed slightly to the old man.
