48: Chapter 0048 I Can Give Birth Too

Mu Wanying knew she was about to meet the first wife, so she was naturally a bit nervous, biting her red lips, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Although she heard from Lin Xiao that Xiao Qingxuan was a wife he had traded a steamed bun for by chance, they were truly a couple who had been through thick and thin together, and her status was unshakeable.

Therefore, Mu Wanying was very conflicted. If Xiao Qingxuan suppressed her, how should she respond?

As soon as she entered the living room, she smelled the aroma of a meal.

Xiao Qingxuan was wearing a jade-green dress, her dark hair hanging down to her waist. With a turn of her head, her breathtakingly beautiful face revealed a joyful smile.

"Husband is back! The food is all ready!"

Xiao Qingxuan walked up enthusiastically to greet Mu Wanying.

"This must be General Mu's daughter, right? I have long heard that the Mu Family has been loyal for generations, and I have admired you for a long time."

"When Husband brought Elder Sister back to the city, I was very happy, so I prepared some wine and food to welcome Elder Sister Mu into our home."

Looking at the fairy-like woman before her, Mu Wanying really couldn't imagine that she had been a slave!

It wasn't until she noticed Xiao Qingxuan's heterochromatic eyes that she believed it, as the Great Gan Dynasty was too superstitious about heterochromatic eyes.

However, as a daughter of a military family, Mu Wanying did not believe in these superstitions.

Seeing Xiao Qingxuan be so magnanimous, regardless of how sincere she was, it was at least a good start.

Mu Wanying bowed gracefully: "Elder Sister is the mistress of the house. Wanying dare not overstep, and will respect Elder Sister in the future."

"How about this? I will call you Wanying, and you call me Qingxuan, how about that?"

"Alright, I will listen to Elder Sister... I mean, Qingxuan."

Xiao Qingxuan took Wanying's hand, "Wanying, come and eat. Husband, sit down too."

Watching the two women holding hands, Lin Xiao's admiration for this Empress wife of his went up several more notches!!

Damn!! Look at this demeanor!!

But thinking about it carefully, which emperor didn't have a harem?

Perhaps Xiao Qingxuan was already used to it!

During the meal, Xiao Qingxuan and Wanying chatted very warmly. Both women came from prominent backgrounds and had many topics in common.

Aside from not practicing martial arts, Xiao Qingxuan was well-read, so she could naturally chat about anything with Wanying.

After some conversation, Wanying clearly felt a hint of respect, and could increasingly understand why Lin Xiao would marry Xiao Qingxuan.

Wanying even felt a bit inferior; apart from martial arts, she was truly inferior to her in every way!

Deep down, the little spark of wanting to "compete for the top spot" was completely extinguished!

This woman, aside from her heterochromatic eyes, was terrifyingly capable!

Night fell.

Xiao Qingxuan served Lin Xiao as he bathed.

"You can let the maids do this kind of thing, why bother yourself, my wife? You must be tired after going to various places to check the land."

Since his woman was sensible, Lin Xiao naturally had to offer gentle comfort.

"Serving Husband is my most important task. I don't feel at ease leaving it to the maids..."

"Besides, what if a maid also becomes a younger sister? Then there would be too many younger sisters."

Xiao Qingxuan pouted and said sourly.

There it is! Just as he thought, it was impossible not to have a little temper!

Lin Xiao smiled and held the woman's fair, tender hand, "My wife, you've been wronged. This time, it was my fault."

"I know, Husband needs to strengthen Baishui Prefecture, so the Mu Family Army is indeed needed, and Wanying is also a great help."

Xiao Qingxuan sighed: "I won't let small things ruin big plans and hinder Husband's grand strategy. I just hope that Husband... won't favor the new and abandon the old."

"How could that be?"

Lin Xiao quickly leaned over and kissed her, "You and I are a couple who have been through thick and thin. Even if I become emperor one day, the Empress must be you. If it's not you, I'd rather keep the position empty!"

Xiao Qingxuan's beautiful eyes sparkled, "Husband... wants to claim the throne?"

"Let's survive in this chaotic world first. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Lin Xiao smiled meaningfully: "Of course, if my wife wants to be Empress, I will definitely have to work hard!"

"I just want to be with Husband for a long time..."

"That goes without saying!"

Lin Xiao said with a grin: "Oh right, my wife, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Wanying hopes... that if she has children in the future, she can raise them herself, and have them call her Mother, not Concubine."

Xiao Qingxuan was slightly stunned, then snorted coquettishly: "I can bear children too, I don't covet other people's children!"

"Haha... don't worry, my wife, I will definitely make sure you bear the most!"

After bathing, the two inevitably had another intense battle.

It seemed she was stimulated by Wanying, as Xiao Qingxuan worked exceptionally hard that night.

It was just a pity that Lin Xiao had centuries of cultivation and the Vajra Staff Technique, which was unparalleled in power; she was simply a weak woman who couldn't suppress it.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Qingxuan lay in the man's arms, covered in fragrant sweat, looking exhausted and resentful.

"I regret it now... I should have practiced martial arts in my early years, otherwise I wouldn't be so inadequate."

"It's not that my wife is too weak, but that your husband is too strong!" Lin Xiao said proudly.

Xiao Qingxuan muttered: "Husband, I have already observed the land that needs to be reclaimed, and I have discussed it with the officials in charge of agricultural affairs."

"It's just that reclamation requires a large amount of manpower. Please discuss this with Brother Zhao and encourage all laborers to finish reclaiming it before autumn."

Lin Xiao was moved. This woman had been busy running around for days and was exhausted; her feet were even rubbed raw. He felt heartache!

"My wife... you are truly my virtuous helper. I will never fail you in this life..."

"You know... that's good..."

Xiao Qingxuan was dazed and fell asleep directly.

Lin Xiao smiled, thinking that her physical constitution was indeed a bit worse than those who practiced martial arts.

When his prestige was high enough in the future, perhaps he could quickly make up for her weakness in martial arts.

Before going to sleep, he visited the prestige shop as usual.

In the past few days, the shop hadn't had any good things, and nothing was worth locking.

Even his favorite, the mysterious package, wasn't there!

"Little System, if you don't bring out some good goods, I'll wish you go bankrupt!"

Perhaps the curse worked, as Lin Xiao refreshed the shop and scanned the dazzling array of goods...

A pill flickering with rainbow light caught his attention!

"Seven Apertures Exquisite Pill, a magical pill passed down from ancient times. After taking it, you instantly gain 20 years of cultivation. Grade: Earth Grade. Prestige: 800."

20 years of cultivation!?

Lin Xiao was stunned. The "Advanced Cultivation Pill" he had refreshed before was also Earth Grade, cost 500 prestige, and only gave 10 years of cultivation!

This 800 prestige was definitely very cost-effective!

Although for Lin Xiao, 20 years of cultivation was easy to obtain, if Xiao Qingxuan ate it, she could be reborn!

"System, can people in this world add points freely after eating a cultivation pill?"

[System: No, people who are not bound to the system will have their cultivation randomly added to their techniques after taking it.]

"That means, one must only practice one technique to ensure the cultivation doesn't disperse."

[System: Uh-huh~]

Lin Xiao checked his remaining "370" prestige. Let alone this Exquisite Pill, he couldn't even afford the Cold Jade Art.

"Forget it, I'll lock it first."

Anyway, it wasn't urgent for Xiao Qingxuan to practice martial arts, so Lin Xiao decided to wait a bit longer.

The next morning.

Xiao Qingxuan slept late but woke up early, getting up early to prepare breakfast.

Leng Bingyan appeared at the kitchen door, looking at the yawning Xiao Qingxuan, feeling a bit indignant.

"If I were you, I'd put laxatives in the porridge!"

Xiao Qingxuan turned back and smiled at her: "What's wrong with you again? You didn't even eat with us last night, why are you so angry?"

"Can I not be angry? You are so good to him, and he still brings women home?" Leng Bingyan felt it was unjust for her Empress sister.

"Wanying has good character, and she is very helpful to us. It is a good thing that Husband was able to win her heart."

Xiao Qingxuan advised: "You are also a descendant of a military family, you should understand the influence of the Mu Family bloodline."

Leng Bingyan frowned: "Yes, Wanying is important, but at least ask you first, this guy... is too disrespectful to you!"

"I was just someone Husband traded for with a steamed bun. He doesn't mind my 'background', and even when Wanying came, he still let me be the main wife. What do I have to complain about?"

"Besides, when my Father Emperor took concubines, did he ever ask my Mother Empress?"

"If he brings a woman home and still has to look at my expression, I really wouldn't look up to such a man!" Xiao Qingxuan said disdainfully.

Leng Bingyan was dumbfounded, thinking, is this what a woman of the "Imperial Family" is like?

"I only need to be the woman he loves most and make him unable to leave me. That is enough."

Xiao Qingxuan smiled confidently and beautifully, looking incredibly stunning.

Leng Bingyan sighed helplessly. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound from the courtyard not far away.

Someone was practicing with a spear?

Leng Bingyan seemed to realize something and couldn't help but smile: "You have the world in your heart, but I am just a little woman. I cannot swallow this breath!"

Saying this, Leng Bingyan put on her veil and flew gracefully toward the courtyard.
