Chapter 263 Too Many Women, Running Around Like a Runaway
After leaving Liu Ruyan's courtyard, Lin Chen turned into Chu Yueyao's courtyard.
Chu Yueyao was squatting in the courtyard fiddling with her pile of herbs when she heard the noise and looked up.
"You're here?"
Then he continued working with his head down, the blade of grass in his hand making a crunching sound as he crushed it.
Lin Chen sat down on the stone bench next to her and rattled off the whole story about the pills.
Chu Yueyao stopped what she was doing.
After a long pause, he looked up at Lin Chen with a serious expression.
"My lord, wouldn't it be a waste for us to take these pills? Perhaps we should save them for those who need them more..."
"You are the one who needs it the most," Lin Chen interrupted her directly.
"Stop talking nonsense. You'll accept it after you give birth. There's no room for discussion."
Chu Yueyao opened her mouth, as if to say something, but her lips trembled twice and she couldn't say anything.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She lowered her head and continued to work with the herbs, but Lin Chen noticed that her hands were trembling.
"Alright, alright, stop this nonsense." Lin Chen stood up and ruffled her hair.
Go to bed early at night, sleep more during the day, and don't overwork yourself.
Chu Yueyao didn't look up, and gave a muffled "hmm".
……
In Qin Shuyan's courtyard.
Qin Shuyan was hunched over the table, looking at the account books, a calligraphy brush in her mouth, her brows furrowed.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Lin Chen. He immediately put down his pen, stood up, and took two steps to greet him.
Lin Chen waved his hand: "Sit down, don't make a fuss."
Then he repeated the story again.
After listening, Qin Shuyan remained silent for a long time.
She just stared at him, her eyes red and swollen, like a rabbit.
Lin Chen felt a little uneasy under her gaze. "What's wrong? Don't want to take it? Do you think the medicine is bitter?"
Qin Shuyan shook her head, her voice barely audible.
"No... I just... I just didn't expect that my husband still has us in his heart."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, you're all my wives. Where else would I put you if not in my heart? On the altar?"
Qin Shuyan chuckled, and as she laughed, tears began to fall.
"Alright, alright, stop crying." Lin Chen hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"If someone sees this, they'll think I'm bullying you."
Qin Shuyan sniffed, smiled, and glared at Lin Chen. "You're just bullying me."
"Fine, I admit defeat." Lin Chen raised his hands in surrender.
"Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. Don't always do the accounting yourself. We have plenty of accountants at home."
……
In Xiao Yulou's courtyard.
Xiao Yulou was lying down to rest during her pregnancy, holding a fruit in her hand and happily munching on it.
After hearing Lin Chen's words, he jumped right out of bed.
Lin Chen grabbed her and said, "My dear! What are you doing jumping around when you're pregnant!"
Xiao Yulou's eyes shone like 200-watt light bulbs as she gripped Lin Chen's sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.
"Husband! Really?! I can become a celestial being directly?"
"Then wouldn't I be able to watch our children's children—their children get married and have kids? And their great-great-grandchildren running all over the yard?"
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated: "Yes, yes, you can watch them get married and have children, and you can even watch their children get married."
So now you just lie still and don't jump around, okay?
Xiao Yulou immediately lay down obediently, but still held onto Lin Chen's hand, grinning like a mouse that had stolen oil.
"Alright, let go, I'm going to the next one."
"Don't loosen it." Xiao Yulou shook his head. "Pull it a little longer."
Lin Chen: "..."
Fine.
……
In Wen Ruoxi's courtyard.
Wen Ruoxi was applying something to her face in front of the mirror when she saw Lin Chen enter, and her eyes lit up:
"Oh, my husband, you have time to come over today?"
Lin Chen recounted the events.
After listening, Wen Ruoxi couldn't stop smiling, and pulled Lin Chen to sit down so she could start talking.
They talked about the child's name, then about the child getting married, and then about the child having a grandson.
From holding his grandson to talking about traveling around the mainland in the future.
He also emphasized that they should build the most luxurious carriage, one that could carry dozens of people.
Lin Chen's head was buzzing, and he finally managed to find a chance to escape.
As she was leaving, Wen Ruoxi gave her a flirty wink.
"My dear husband, wait for me for two months, then we'll celebrate properly~ Or we can do it now, I don't mind your unusual fetish..."
Lin Chen stumbled and almost fell on the threshold.
This woman is becoming more and more unruly.
……
In the nighttime cinema.
Ye Qingying was practicing boxing in the courtyard, her movements slow and gentle, just enough to loosen her muscles and bones.
Seeing Lin Chen enter, he stopped his stance, took the handkerchief Lin Chen handed him, and wiped his sweat.
Lin Chen explained what had happened.
After listening, Ye Qingying's face remained indifferent, but her eyes were clearly red.
She only said two words: "Thank you."
Lin Chen smiled, leaned over and kissed her forehead: "Why are you being so polite with me?"
Ye Qingying remained silent.
But the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
……
In Murong Xue's courtyard.
Murong Xue was embroidering when she heard Lin Chen's words, and the needle pricked her hand.
"Ouch—"
Lin Chen rushed over to see her, but she didn't care about her hands anymore; she grabbed Lin Chen's sleeve and started crying.
"My husband, you are so good to me..."
"No, no, no, don't cry." Lin Chen was exasperated. "I just finished comforting one, and now you're at it again."
Murong Xue wouldn't listen, tears streaming down her face, clinging to his sleeve and refusing to let go.
Lin Chen spent a long time coaxing her, and promised to have dinner with her that night, before he finally managed to appease her.
I glanced at my sleeves as I left.
Well, it's all wet now.
……
In Su Xiaoxiao's courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao was practicing the piano. She didn't stop when she heard Lin Chen come in. She only looked up after she finished playing the piece.
"Why is my husband here?"
Lin Chen recounted the events.
Su Xiaoxiao froze, and then her eyes reddened.
Lin Chen sighed and resignedly stepped forward to coax the person.
Su Xiaoxiao said while crying:
"My lord, please stay the night. I will take good care of you..."
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated: "You should focus on taking care of your pregnancy first. What do you mean by 'taking care of me'?"
After coaxing him for a while, he finally managed to get away.
……
By the time we finished circling around, the sun was almost setting in the west.
Lin Chen was exhausted, as if he had run a marathon.
But I feel at ease.
Since these women are with him, he has to treat them well.
It's better to think long-term.
As for Lan Fenghuang and the others who came later...
Let's observe further.
People's hearts are something that cannot be rushed.
Just then, a sweet cry came from afar:
"My husband—"
Lin Chen turned around and saw Wen Ruoxi standing in the distance, waving at him with her hands on her hips, her posture like that of a lucky cat.
He sighed, smiled, and walked over.
Well, it seems Wen Ruoxi really wants to treat him well.
……
night.
Lin Chen was in the study listening to Yuan Tiangang report on the progress in Dongshan.
Just then, Lin Fu came in.
"Your Highness, Mei Jiu Niang has sent someone again."
Lin Chen didn't even look up: "What did you say?"
Lin Fuqing cleared his throat: "She said that if Your Highness doesn't go soon, she will come to your residence in person to pay a visit."
Lin Chen paused.
He raised his head and remained silent for two seconds.
Then he laughed.
"Okay, tell her I'll go tomorrow."
Lin Fu responded and withdrew.
Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, looking at the moon outside the window.
After hiding for ten days, it's time to meet.
Anyway, we now have eighteen Arhats, and the fighting power of celestial beings—
They are now more confident.
He wasn't afraid of whatever tricks that old woman wanted to play.
Yuan Tiangang coughed from the side: "Your Highness, that... Mei Jiu Niang is a man-eater."
Lin Chen said irritably, "I know."
"What I mean is, she..." Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment, then coughed a few times before speaking:
"If Your Majesty truly has such intentions, it doesn't matter. With Your Majesty's cultivation level, you should be immune to all poisons..."
"Get lost!" Lin Chen laughed and scolded. "Do you think I'm that indiscriminate?"
"Aren't you one?" Yuan Tiangang didn't say it aloud, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes helplessly, not wanting to argue, and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, go and get some rest!"
Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, gave Lin Chen a meaningful look, and then withdrew.
"Fuck you!" Lin Chen almost cursed out loud.
After Yuan Tiangang left, he sighed softly, his mind involuntarily recalling everything that had happened when he met Mei Jiu Niang.
tomorrow!
He should—maybe—probably be able to hold on, right?
