Afternoon, forest garden.

Ning Heng and Feng Ziying were both envious of Lin Yun's appointment in the Beijing camp and wished they could serve in the army with him.

Unfortunately, Ning Heng was an only son, and the old prince could not agree to him joining the army. Feng Ziying's father was not in the capital, and her mother and brother did not agree with him joining the army.

Although Xue Pan did not want to join the army, he was also troubled. Because of his good relationship with Lin Yun, he was excluded from the clan school and did not want to go to school.

The three guys had their own worries and soon drank too much. Lin Yun also drank a lot and felt like he was nodding when walking.

…

After sending the guests away, Lin Yun returned to his small courtyard in the inner house and saw that Qin Keqing, Yingge, Baozhu, and Ruizhu were not there. Only Xiangling was alone in her room reading the post.

Lin Yun asked curiously: "Where have they gone? Why are you alone in the house?"

"When grandma had lunch, she felt a little nauseous. Sister Ping'er said that grandma might be pregnant, so she asked Yingge and the others to accompany grandma to Miss Lin's place so that Miss Pearl could have a look. I was worried that I was drunk.

When people serve, they stay.”

After Xiang Ling explained, she put down the brush in her hand and stood up to make sobering tea for Lin Yun.

Lin Yun felt dizzy after hearing this. If Qin Keqing was pregnant, wouldn't he be a father next year?

Xiangling handed the brewed hot tea to Lin Yun and asked with concern: "Third Master, is it hard to drink alcohol?"

"It's okay. I didn't drink much. I'll get over it after taking a rest."

Xiangling: "Let me rub your temples for you. It will make you feel better."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Yun drank a few more sips of tea, then put down the tea cup and walked to the bamboo chair to lie down.

Xiangling walked behind Lin Yun and gently rubbed Lin Yun's temples with her slender fingers.

Just when Lin Yun was drowsy, he suddenly heard Xiang Ling ask in a low voice: "Third Master, is there any news from Miss Liu?"

Lin Yun opened his eyes and asked Xiangling, "Do you miss your mother?"

"Um."

"I'll make arrangements later for your mother to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year and reunite with you."

"Thank you, Third Master!"

Lin Yun grabbed Xiang Ling's wrist, pulled her soft body into his arms, and said with a smile, "Can't you just say thank you verbally?"

Xiangling raised her head shyly and put her red lips against Lin Yun's mouth.

Since Lin Yun got married, the two of them haven't been intimate for a long time. Now that they have a chance to be alone, Xiang Ling also wants to get close to Lin Yun.

After a lingering passionate kiss, Xiang Ling pressed her pink cheek against Lin Yun's chest and whispered: "Third Master, I will help you take a bath, okay?"

"good."

Lin Yun immediately stood up, took Xiang Ling's little hand and walked towards the bathroom.

There are two bathrooms built in the inner house. The large bathroom outside is for the use of maids and women. The smaller bathroom at the back is specially used by Lin Yun's wives and concubines, such as Ping'er, Xiangling, and Yingge.

, there are also dedicated bathrooms.

However, winter has not yet arrived, and the heated kang has not yet been heated in the house. There is not enough hot water, so I can only bathe in a wooden barrel.

…

After Xiangling got a change of clothes, the two of them chatted and came outside the bathroom.

Just as Lin Yun was about to push the door open, he saw a girl with disheveled hair walking out holding some clothes.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Xiaoya.

Xiangling stepped forward and scolded: "The maid's bathroom is right in front, why did you come to the back house to take a bath?"

Xiaoya said confidently: "I'm not used to sharing a bathtub with outsiders, so I came to borrow Third Master's bathtub."

Xiangling was shocked: "What? How dare you use Third Master's bathtub to bathe?"

"I have cleaned it after I used it. You can use it with confidence."

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she raised her chin and walked away confidently.

"You~"

Xiang Ling wanted to scold her, but she couldn't. Finally, she said bitterly: "I'll tell Sister Ping'er later and deduct her monthly payment."

Lin Yun advised: "Forget it, I didn't think it through carefully. I don't blame her for this."

Xiangling asked hurriedly: "Is she also my concubine?"

Lin Yun quickly shook his head and said: "No, don't get me wrong, she is just, just~"

Xiangling smiled and said, "It's just that I haven't decided yet whether I want her to be my concubine, right?"

"No nonsense."

"Hehehe, I guessed it right."

"You're still talking nonsense, let's see how I punish you."

Lin Yung just wanted to hug Xiang Ling when he saw Ping'er leading two little maids walking towards this side.

Ping'er walked closer and smiled at Lin Yun: "I just heard that someone was quarreling here. It turns out it was you two playing around."

Just as Xiang Ling was about to explain, Lin Yun spoke first: "Sister Ping'er, how is Keqing doing?"

Ping'er: "Miss Pearl said that grandma just caught a cold, so just keep warm."

Lin Yun was relieved when he heard that Qin Keqing was not pregnant.

He smiled at Ping'er and said, "Since you are here, come and take a bath with us."

Ping'er said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm serious."

Lin Yun stepped forward and stretched out his hand, picked up Ping'er horizontally, and then ordered the two little maids: "Go back and get sister Ping'er's clothes."

"Yes, Third Master."

Ping'er panicked and said, "Master, please don't act recklessly. If grandma finds out, how can I see anyone else?"

Lin Yun carried Ping'er and walked towards the bathroom. As he walked, he said: "When Ke Qing asks, just say you are taking a bath for me."

Ping'er: "You have Xiangling and parrots to take care of you when you take a bath, so why do you need me?"

"It's you today."

Xiangling followed the two of them, closed the bathroom door, and then said with a smile: "Third Master, Sister Ping'er, you can go and take a bath in peace, I will guard you here."

Ping'er was speechless after hearing this. Xiangling, a silly girl, really doesn't think it's a big deal just to watch the excitement.

…

The bathroom was misty and there was a sweet fragrance in the air.

In the spacious wooden barrel, Ping'er sat in Lin Yun's arms, rubbing his chest and asking shyly: "How long will it take for the third master to take a rest when he goes to Beijing to take up his post?"

Lin Yun smiled teasingly: "I haven't left yet, and you started to miss me?"

Ping'er: "My master is not in the house, and I always feel that I am missing a backbone. Grandma is kind-hearted, but lacks the decisiveness of my second grandma. If I don't make decisions for us on some things, I always worry that something will go wrong."

Lin Yun comforted him: "Just go ahead and do it. If it's a big matter that neither you nor your wife can make up your mind about, just ask Butler Qian to send someone to the military camp to find me to make up my mind."

"With these words from the master, I will feel relieved."

After a pause, Ping'er continued: "What is Xiaoya's identity? How should I treat her?"

Lin Yun thought for a while and said: "Treat her as Pearl. By the way, you can have a separate bathroom prepared for her."

Ping'er asked with a smile: "Does the third master want to take her as a concubine?"

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "I have absolutely no intention of doing so."

Ping'er stretched out his hand to scoop up a handful of water, poured it on his white neck, and said softly: "Second Grandma said, there are no men who are not lewd, I just have more picky tastes than others."

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Do you believe what Sister-in-law Feng said?"

"I think what Second Grandma said makes sense."

Ping'er suddenly looked into Lin Yun's eyes and asked, "I am so kind to my second grandma, could it be that I also have bad intentions for her?"

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, she is my sister-in-law."

Ping'er smiled and said: "I used to do the same~"

Seeing that Ping'er was talking more and more outrageously, Lin Yun quickly reached out and hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er, just give it to me today."

Ping'er said anxiously: "Until grandma has no heirs, I will never agree to this."

Lin Yun buried his head in Ping'er's neck and said softly: "But I want you now."

"Third Master, please help me with my hands, okay?"

"Not good, unless~"
