Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 530 Another Bird Flies In At Night (3)

"Cousin, greetings to you and auntie." Qiqi blinked her big eyes, standing beside her sister, curiously looking at the little one in her aunt’s arms.

Seeing Qiqi always looking at her son, Qinmeng shook her younger son to wakefulness, and as his drowsy eyes opened, she beckoned Qiqi and Yueyue over. "Look, this is Brother Qiqi, and this is Sister Yueyue."

The little one blinked his watery big eyes, looking back and forth between Qiqi and Yueyue, seeming to wonder why he suddenly had an additional brother and sister out of thin air. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Seeing that her son was fully awake, Qinmeng placed Xuanyuan Yu on the ground. The three children had their own way of communicating, and soon they were playing together.

Feng Xi stood still for a moment, then got up and went out again. Feng Xuxu didn’t stay much longer either, seeing that they had traveled through the night. She let them rest a while and then turned to leave. She went to the study but didn’t find her husband; after searching the ’Lotus Garden’ for a long time, she finally found the person lost in thought under the wisteria in the backyard. Feng Xuxu tiptoed closer and, before he could react, pounced on him.

"Husband."

Dugu Chen was visibly startled, but seeing his wife throw herself into his arms, he certainly wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity and wrapped his arms around her, leaving a light kiss on her face.

Feng Xuxu glared at him shyly, then sat on his lap and reached out to tidy his hair that was tousled by the wind. "What are you daydreaming about?"

"I was thinking about the matters of Prince Fu, and those marshals." His expression was somewhat languid as he rested his head on Feng Xuxu’s shoulder and half-closed his eyes.

Feng Xuxu’s hand paused, she turned to look at the head on her shoulder and smiled lightly. "Even if a battle starts, Prince Fu’s chances of winning are slim. After all, you both have the same amount of control over the troops. Yet, it’s the innocent civilians who will suffer."

Dugu Chen shook his head and sighed at her words. "Wife, you’re mistaken. If a real battle were to break out, Prince Fu’s chances of winning are substantial."

"Why?" She didn’t understand what he meant. They had the same military power, and her husband was the War God, so why would Prince Fu have a better chance of winning?

Dugu Chen gave a bitter smile. "Although our military power is the same, my troops are currently concentrated in the southern part of Xueyan Country. The marshals that Prince Fu has bribed are scattered across several corners of Xueyan Country. If they were to all mobilize in one night, then you can imagine that aside from my southern territory, they could swiftly take over other parts of Xueyan Country."

"What about calling in reinforcements?"

"Silly girl, even if you call in reinforcements, it’s not that quick. Not to mention the issue with supplies. By the time my soldiers arrive, the battle over there would have already ended. The situation on the battlefield changes in the blink of an eye."

"So, will they attack your fiefdom when they do raise an army?"

"No, judging by the extent of Prince Fu’s forbearance, he will be cautious. Secondly, there is the imperial decree for peace!" Dugu Chen frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that this was a definite possibility.

Feng Xuxu’s frown deepened in confusion. "Imperial decree for peace? Does he intend to win you over?"

"How could that be possible? He surely knows my character. It’s impossible for me to accept being called back to be a mere prince, at most he would grant me my own fiefdom to be king."

After hearing this, Feng Xuxu snorted coldly and looked at him. "If that really happens, would you agree?"

"Wife, what do you think?" Dugu Chen responded with a question of his own.

Feng Xuxu shook her head decisively. "The Dugu Chen I know is not that kind of person."

"Haha, my wife knows me best." He paused and then added, "Wife, rest assured, I have already made initial preparations. Since I know his conspiracy, I certainly have precautions in place, and everything is in my mind." Fearing his wife’s worry, he whispered a few words into her ear reassuringly.
