Next day.

"Xuan Qi, breakfast is ready."

Xue Cong’s voice sounded beside Lin Xuan Qi’s ear and woke him up.

He sat up from the bed, stretched his hands and gave out a yawn.

It was a great rest for the night and he glanced over at Xue Cong.

She was also looking refreshed and vibrant from the sleep the night before.

He got out from the bed, washed up, and went to the dining hall with her when he was done.

Liu Ju Zheng was chatting with Yue Jie and Yue Xin happily and he was glad for it.

Lin Xuan Qi joined in and while they had breakfast, Madam Sai came with good news.

"Master Lin, so sorry for the delay. I was busy for the past few days." She took out her handkerchief and waved it at him.

"It’s fine, Madam Sai. I was busy with business too." Lin Xuan Qi said and she covered her mouth with her handkerchief.

"So handsome and understanding, no wonder there are so many young mistresses asking about you in Hong Feng City."

Cough.

Lin Xuan Qi gave out a fake cough and gave her an awkward smile when he heard what she had said.

"I think they are only flattering me." He said and waved his hands at her.

"Sure..." Madam Sai realized that she had said the wrong thing when she felt Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi’s eyes on her.

She quickly changed the topic to the purpose of her visit and said, "There is an auspicious date only at the end of next month on the thirtieth. I think that we can hold the wedding on that day."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded at the date and said, "It’s decided then."

The battle between the Sima Family and the Six Pulse Sword Sect was still going on and he didn’t know when it would end.

It was best for the wedding to be four weeks later to have some buffer time just in case.

With that decided, Madam Sai gave out a smile and glanced at Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.

She waved at them with her handkerchief and said, "I would have something to brief the concubines about before the wedding happens."

Yue Xin was excited to be able to finally find out what it was about and Liu Shi Shi kept quiet and nodded her head at Madam Sai.

They followed Madam Sai to Liu Shi Shi’s bedroom for the briefing.

When they got inside Liu Shi Shi’s bedroom, Yue Xin opened her eyes in anticipation of what Madam Sai was about to say.

Liu Shi Shi tried to look cool with her arms crossed but her heart was thumping fast.

Madam Sai waved her handkerchief at them and said, "I’m sure you are curious about the matters between husbands and wives."

Yue Xin nodded vigorously at her with Liu Shi Shi standing by the side, her face blushing red.

"Relax, at the night of the wedding, you shall have a cup of wine with the groom.

"Don’t be shy and be ready to serve him. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Then you shall consummate the marriage together as husband and concubine."

She went on and described the exact details on how to do it.

Yue Xin’s expressions changed when she finally got to know how to and she bit her lower lip.

She had started to think of many ideas to serve Lin Xuan Qi and pleasure him.

Liu Shi Shi with her carefree character was unusually shy when it came to it and she began to feel anxious about the actual night.

Madam Sai shook her head and smiled at her when she saw Liu Shi Shi’s tensed expression with Liu Shi Shi’s eyebrows locking unknowingly.

"It might be painful at first but after you get used to it, it’s the best thing in the world." Madam Sai said and covered her mouth with her handkerchief.

She put down the handkerchief and said, "So much so that many young mistresses longed for their husbands to do it with them instead of going to the brothels to spend their energy there."

"Really?" Yue Xin asked with amusement at what she had heard.

It was a taboo to discuss and deemed as something impure and dirty.

Yet, despite what she was taught, it was surprising to her that the truth was so much different.

Madam Sai nodded her head at Yue Xin and said, "Definitely. Young mistresses would pray for their husbands to be with them every night...."

Yue Xin began to have more ideas of what it meant.

Would it be better than great food or getting rewards? She thought to herself silently.

Liu Shi Shi’s breath went faster when she thought about doing it with Lin Xuan Qi.

His embrace and kiss filled up her mind and she couldn’t stop it.

She wished for the wedding day to come soon and was anxious about being with him at the same time.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan Qi continued the breakfast and made plans for the day.

He still had his mind set on expanding to other cities and he asked Lee He Song and the others, "What do you think of expanding the businesses to Gui Feng City?"

Lee He Song took a sip from his teacup and said, "Gui Feng would be a good choice.

"It’s near to Hong Feng City and there are many mines that are near Gui Feng City.

"Many officials and merchants congregate there for a piece of the mining business.

"And they are loaded with money.

"We should be able to establish ourselves there with what we have."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at what Lee He Song had said.

It was the same reason he wanted to expand to Gui Feng City first.

The others also gave him a nod in agreement.

Lin Xuan Qi made his decision and he began to think of how he should go about it.

"Do you have any connections to Gui Feng City?" He asked and Lee He Song thought for a moment.

"I might have someone that could help." Lee He Song replied after a few moments.
