Chapter 232: The Season Of Abundance Is Also The Season Of Childbirth
Everyone has unspeakable secrets in their heart.
If such a secret is kept in the heart for too long, it will arouse his strong desire to confess.
What should one do at this time?
Ordinary people would find a tree hollow to confide in, but extraordinary people, like Shen Tingyu, would tell their secrets to someone who is bound to die, such as Yun Ce.
Shen Tingyu was originally a very meticulous person, but unfortunately, no matter how meticulous he was, it was useless, because whatever was on his mind, his two younger brothers knew it.
For people to abandon some bad behavioral habits is a very difficult thing, let alone controlling their own brain, not thinking about those deeply hidden bad things, and not exposing their true thoughts in their mind—this is even more difficult.
Fortunately, Shen Tingyu’s talent for practicing martial arts is extremely strong, which perhaps has a great relationship with the fact that the three of them share one brain. Only when practicing martial arts can he prevent his two younger brothers from prying into his thoughts. Over time, he became a peak master and turned himself into a madman whose reactions are a beat slower than others.
In the end, he was terribly deceived by Yun Ce.
In the foreseeable future, Shen Tingyu’s story will surely spread throughout the Great Han, and the Gui Fang people, who have always admired Great Han Culture, will probably know about it at the first moment.
In fact, knowing other people’s secrets is not a good thing, especially knowing secrets concerning others’ life and death, which is very dangerous, such as seeing someone else commit murder.
1 Miss Hong saw clearly several instances of Yun Ce illegally killing people. Previously, Yun Ce had thought about killing to silence her, but later he discovered that his murders were really not presentable in the Great Han. Moreover, what Miss Hong was currently doing was something his bloodline required him to do.
1 In the end, he became very good friends with Miss Hong.
1 After parting with Zhao Qi and Xiao Man, Yun Ce returned to Yun Clan Villa and received a letter from Miss Hong.
1 The content in the letter was very uplifting.
1 Just on the seventh day of last month, Miss Hong launched the Dragon Gate Post Station battle. Merely by using the suspension bridge at Dragon Gate Post Station that can open and close, she gradually nibbled away the three thousand armored heavy cavalry sent by Ning Prefecture Inspector Peng Da Yong. Among them, the bomb transported by Pei Chuan from Yun Clan Villa made the greatest contribution.
1 In the letter, Miss Hong carefully explained to Yun Ce various usage methods of the bomb and the experiments, finally telling Yun Ce that the bomb is absolutely a killer weapon that can determine the outcome of wars in the future.
1 It will even change the Great Han’s way of warfare and the changes in military equipment…
1 After reading the letter, Yun Ce also learned from Miss Hong’s letter that this battle established their status in Chuyun Prefecture. After losing the most important three thousand heavy cavalry in the prefecture, Ning Prefecture Inspector Peng Da Yong will face nibbling from his neighbors. Miss Hong has no ambition for Ning Prefecture’s territory.
1 She wants Ning Prefecture’s Shehuo.
1 Before the movable day of Shehuo at next year’s Spring Festival, she is prepared to obtain Ning Prefecture’s Shehuo at all costs and ultimately place Ning Prefecture’s Shehuo in Chuyun City, restoring this almost ruined prefectural city.
2 “In the future, wars within the Great Han will evolve from contention for territory into contention for Shehuo.”
2 After reading the letter, Yun Ce handed it to E Ji and asked her to put it away.
2 Zhang Min, still lying on the bed, said: “Ning Prefecture is in great chaos. We should get involved. With Young Master’s martial arts, there is an opportunity to obtain Ning Prefecture’s Shehuo.”
2 Yun Ce shook his head and said: “No, it would be controlled by Dragon God Hall.”
2 Zhang Min said: “All Shehuo in the world are controlled by Dragon God Hall.”
2 A flame suddenly appeared at Yun Ce’s fingertip. The flame playfully jumped on Yun Ce’s fingertip, like a naughty child. Zhang Min got up and touched the Shehuo on Yun Ce’s fingertip: “This is Chuyun Prefecture’s Shehuo?”
2 E Ji, who already knew of Shehuo’s existence, pursed her lips and said: “This is our family’s Shehuo.”
2 Zhang Min ignored E Ji’s nonsense and said again: “Why hasn’t it taken root?”
2 Yun Ce withdrew the Shehuo, chuckled lightly, and said: “It is free and unwilling to take root.”
2 Zhang Min pondered for a moment and said: “No wonder Young Master values territory so much, willing to abandon prosperous Chang’an and come to this barbaric land north of the Great Wall.”
3 “It seems that if I didn’t get pregnant, you still wouldn’t tell me about the Shehuo, right?”
3 E Ji sneered from the side: “Even this is said for the child in your stomach to hear.”
3 Zhang Min stretched one foot out from the quilt and kicked E Ji: “Go prepare breakfast for me quickly.”
3 Upon hearing this, E Ji was furious but didn’t dare neglect this pregnant woman. She huffily told An Ji to prepare it. With Zhang Min carrying the Yun Clan’s first descendant, she couldn’t be too precious.
3 That’s right. Nowadays, everyone in Yun Clan Villa has to revolve around Zhang Min to serve her. In the Great Han, it is certainly important for the main wife to be capable, but having a son is even more important.
3 The Yun Clan currently has only Yun Ce as the sole heir, and this heir cannot hide in a greenhouse to live a carefree life; he is always out doing dangerous things. If he were gone one day, not only would the Yun Clan disappear, but these people depending on the Yun Clan for a living would also lose their footing.
3 In the Yun Clan, they are vassals and retainers; leaving the Yun Clan, they are refugees and slaves, generation after generation. Now that Zhang Min is pregnant, everyone has hope.
3 “Tonight, let’s induce Qi for those eighteen children.”
3 During the meal, Zhang Min started assigning work to Yun Ce while eating.
3 Yun Ce glanced at the arrogant Zhang Min and said to E Ji: “Won’t you control her? Also, wasn’t it twelve? How did it become eighteen?”
4 E Ji kept her head down eating, pretending not to hear Yun Ce.
4 Zhang Min said proudly: “The children are a bit ugly, but there are still many good ones. After you left, I discovered six more children suitable for Qi induction. Plus the previous six who have already induced Qi and can cultivate on their own, soon the Yun Clan will have twenty-four vassals to assist my son.”
4 “By the way, I’ve already recruited Lei Ming and the others into my secret agent team. Also, my secret agent team is called Red Sleeve.”
4 E Ji, who was already frustrated about not being able to compete with Zhang Min in childbearing, became even more furious hearing Zhang Min openly poach the Yun Clan’s most important combat power for herself. She threw down her chopsticks, stopped eating, got up, and left.
4 Zhang Min, having vented her anger fiercely, proudly ate two more bowls of rice.
4 Whether E Ji or Zhang Min, both are genuine Great Han people. Having been influenced by Great Han customs all their lives, they naturally won’t change because of Yun Ce’s sudden appearance.
4 A woman establishes her position through her children.
4 Even a powerful woman like Zhang Min is no exception. Just like when her health was poor before and she knew her time was short, she actively sought a child from Yun Ce, which embodied her stance.
4 Even if for this worthless act she was suppressed by E Ji into a concubine, she never regretted it. Now, with a child in her belly, her world is bright.
4 Zhang Min’s pregnancy launched a strong challenge to E Ji’s position as the main wife. A main wife without her own child doesn’t have a strong voice at home.
5 At this time, forget about Gui Fang people, Miss Hong, or chaos in the world. For E Ji, her sky had already collapsed.
5 “There’s no reason for it. Your body is very strong, with vitality far stronger than ordinary people. Although it can’t compare to a dragon, it’s top-tier in the human world. There’s no reason Zhang Min is pregnant but E Ji isn’t, especially when Zhang Min’s constitution is inferior to E Ji’s, yet she got pregnant first.”
5 Doggy’s chatter sounded in his mind again.
5 “What are you trying to say? Do you mean Zhang Min cuckolded me? Let me tell you, don’t stir things up. Now, my six senses are extremely sharp. Although the child in Zhang Min’s belly is still just an embryo, I can still feel the bloodline connection. It’s my child, no mistake.”
5 “That’s what I was saying. My sense of morality is higher than yours, yet you don’t believe me. What I want to say is that E Ji should also be pregnant; she just doesn’t feel it obviously. She’s another silly child who grew up without a mother’s guidance, so it’s forgivable that she doesn’t know she’s pregnant.”
5 “You immediately thought of your wife cheating? That shows your moral state?”
5 “How do you confirm E Ji is also pregnant?”
5 “Your body evolution data has always been under my monitoring. Shehuo eliminated the dragon’s genetic hidden dangers and also made your own vitality surge. So, your evolution data has extremely high reference value for our subsequent arrivals. Naturally, I recorded it meticulously.”
5 Yun Ce thought Doggy made a lot of sense, so he decided to go to E Ji to sense if she was also pregnant.
5 Returning to E Ji’s bedroom, he found the silly woman lying on the bed crying her heart out. Yun Ce turned her over and placed his hand on her lower abdomen, withdrawing it after a moment.
6 He pulled up the limp E Ji, who was crying weakly, and said: “If you cry any more and hurt the child in your womb, see if I won’t whip you.”
6 E Ji was crying so hard she didn’t hear Yun Ce clearly, only hearing that he wanted to whip her. Anger flared up instantly. She buried her head in Yun Ce’s chest and said: “No child, you should whip me. Go ahead.”
6 Yun Ce straightened her up, looked at her tear-filled eyes, and said: “How dumb are you to not even know you’re pregnant?”
6 E Ji heard it clearly this time. She widened her eyes and looked at Yun Ce: “I have a child?”
6 As she spoke, she lifted her clothes and looked down at her stomach.
6 Seeing her stomach still flat, she scratched it hard twice dejectedly: “You’re just lying to me.”
6 Yun Ce let go of E Ji, took a cooked bean from the plate and put it in his mouth: “The child isn’t as big as this bean yet. That is, we don’t have doctors here. If we did, they could detect it.”
6 Upon hearing this, E Ji immediately got out of bed, rummaging for things while saying hurriedly: “Young Master, I want to ride the red date horse to Xiangcheng. There’s a doctor there.”
6 Yun Ce sat on a newly made chair and smiled: “Doctors also probe the body with internal breath. Don’t forget, whose internal breath here is stronger than mine?”
6 “I say you have one, so you definitely do. This I can guarantee.”
7 Upon hearing this, E Ji fell straight back onto the bed. She let out a long breath, then lay motionless like the dead. When Yun Ce was about to check on her, E Ji sat up straight like a corpse reviving, looked down at her stomach, and said: “Oh heavens, you scared me to death…”
