Chapter 379 (1/2)

“The Lady is back!” The servants that had disappeared all suddenly reappeared. The respectful voice gradually became louder.

“Lord Husband!” Lu Lingqi’s voice grew louder as she approached. Her voice was full of longing.

“I’m doomed.” Liu Mang should be longing for the owner of that voice as well. After all, they were newlyweds. Liu Mang also knew about her rus.h.i.+ng out to Shouchun because she was worried about him. This action caused him to feel extremely moved. However, at that particular moment, Liu Mang was only feeling indescribable fear.

How could he not feel fear? There was another woman in his study room. On top of that, it was Lady Zou and not some simple servant. This was Zhang Ji’s widowed wife. This was the same person that caused Cao Cao to lose so much. He is also unable to use bringing Zhang Lei in as an excuse as he was literally caught with his pants down. If Lu Lingqi were to see him in such a state, his death would not be far.

“Quick, Miss Zou! Lady Zhang!” Liu Mang no longer knew how to address her. “Ah whatever! Quickly go and hide! My family is about to come in!”

“Huh? Ah!” Zou Rong was stunned. She came looking for her happy ending but suddenly the main wife arrived. She had also never come across this situation before as Zhang Ji’s main wife had already been dead when he married her. She was confused and did not know what to do.

“Why are you still standing there? Hide!” Liu Mang shouted as he tried to wear his pants. Unfortunately, the pants during ancient times were quite troublesome to put on. His panicked state simply made the task even more difficult.

Zou Rong saw Liu Mang trying to put on his pants hurriedly and ran around the study. However, she found that there was nowhere to hide. The only possible hiding location was on top of the bookshelf but it was not possible for a delicate person like her to climb it.

Liu Mang carelessly wore his pants. He was only able to use his s.h.i.+rt to cover up his private parts and prevent it from swaying around. Once he was done, he raised his head in time to see Zou s.h.i.+ running around and returning to him. “Why haven’t you hidden yourself yet? When my family comes in, the both of us will be dead!” Liu Mang was truly scared of his family’s fierce tiger.

It is said that a single mountain could not have two tigers. Unfortunately, Liu Mang’s home really did have two tigers. The first one was Lu Lingqi. Although she could not work well in a kitchen, she was actually able to go on the battlefield. She inherited her martial arts skill from Lu Bu. If she had been a man, the Little Conqueror would have been her. She could handle halberds and Liu Mang would definitely not want to mess with her.

Besides that, there was another, stronger tiger. This tiger would also definitely be on the way to Shouchun. This tiger was Da Qiao. He initially thought Da Qiao was a gentle and kind person before marrying her but then he found out that Da Qiao was like a sharp knife. Even though she was unable fight like Lu Lingqi, she had her own ways to surpa.s.s others. This trait of hers made Liu Mang tremble.

Although Da Qiao was the third wife, Liu Mang knew that she was the real boss. Lu Lingqi may be good at martial arts but she was soft hearted. On the other hand, Yuan Fang was a woman from a wealthy family that strives for nothing while his concubine followed feudal society. All of them were influenced by Da Qiao. Besides that, Da Qiao was also very knowledgeable. The amount of books she had read even made her father lament that she was not a man. She was able to completely see through how men think, including Liu Mang.

Da Qiao’s talent had been used in Liu Mang’s backyard instead of in political areas. This showed how much suffering Liu Mang had to endure. If Lu Lingqi were to see this Lady Zou, Liu Mang would be beaten up at most. On the other hand, if Da Qiao were to see this, Liu Mang would need to write apology letters or else he would be forced to stay in the study room.1

With Da Qiao’s ability, his wives have formed an alliance. At home, Da Qiao was the Lord. Lu Lingqi was the general. Yuan Fang may not have strived for anything but women would not like their husbands to have so many women.

“Sister. I beg you! Please hide!” Liu Mang already wanted to cry. All of this was Jia Xu’s fault. Now, Liu Mang was not only anxious about Jia Xu’s presence but also had a sense of grudge against him. Liu Mang believed that he was being toyed with.
