Su Yunjin was taken aback, then immediately laughed and said, "Of course, I’m ready, Hong Mei, have someone drive the carriage to the door."
Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er stood up and said to Du Juan, "Let Mudan pack up, we’re leaving."
Du Juan replied, "Madam, are we just going to leave ? That Su woman must know you’re afraid to stab and is testing you."
Huang Wan’er glanced back at Du Juan and said, "Slap your own face when you get back, and remember she is the Lady of the Chen Residence."
Du Juan immediately lowered her head, and Huang Wan’er touched the dagger in her sleeve and said, "Whether it’s true or not, for a pregnant woman to do this much, what more do you want..."
As she spoke, she touched her own belly, after all, they’re both going to be mothers.
Meanwhile, Cuiju pulled at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, you scared me to death! That woman named Huang is really crazy. What if she actually stabbed you?"
Su Yunjin smiled and said, "Sister Huang wouldn’t do that."
"Madam, you can’t do this next time."
Cuiju said, at this time Su Yunjin said, "Don’t tell my husband when we get back."
Cuiju said, "I won’t say anything, but Madam Hua probably can’t keep her mouth shut."
Su Yunjin said, "I’ll instruct Sister Hua, you and Hong Mei, keep your mouths shut."
In the evening, at the Chen Residence, in the living room.
The table was filled with sumptuous food, Chen Jie sat at the main seat, with Su Yunjin on his left and Huang Wan’er on his right.
Yin Hongmei and Du Juan were responsible for serving in the inner hall.
Third Miss Hua, Ruirui were at the table on this side, Ruirui focused on eating, while Third Miss Hua looked at the awkward scene, wanting to laugh.
Chen Jie indeed felt a bit awkward, not knowing why today’s aura at this table was so strong on both sides.
Chen Jie held the rice bowl, looking at the two sides, with two ladies as beautiful as celestial beings; Su Yunjin gentle and serene, Huang Wan’er grand and carefree.
At this moment, on his left and right, even Chen Jiusi felt as if he was dreaming.
His little young lady actually managed to invite Huang Wan’er over, now it would be good if there was a chance to sleep together.
But seeing both ladies with such strong personalities, Chen Jie thought that good things require patience, Su Yunjin is shy, probably hard to agree, Huang Wan’er might be possible, but both women are pregnant.
So, Chen Jie could only hold back his wandering thoughts.
So, he could only eat, after eating and drinking to his fill, Ruirui was called by Su Yunjin to review his lessons, and Chen Jie secretly asked Third Miss Hua what method Su Yunjin used to invite Huang Wan’er.
Third Miss Hua said, "With a knife."
"Hmm, put the knife to Huang Wan’er’s neck?"
Third Miss Hua thought for a moment and said, "Held it to her own neck."
Chen Jie was bewildered.
Later, after figuring out the situation from Third Miss Hua, Chen Jie was greatly shocked, wondering when his little young lady became so tough, and he felt a bit sorry for Su Yunjin, secretly sneaking into Su Yunjin’s room, wanting to hold his wife and sleep peacefully.
But as soon as he entered the room, Su Yunjin drove him out: "Husband, Sister Huang just came, tonight you have to accompany her."
Chen Jie looked at his wife and said, "Tomorrow then."
"No, it has to be today, quickly go."
Chen Jie, helpless, could only turn around and head to the west courtyard, and then entered Huang Wan’er’s room, only to find the door locked from the inside.
Chen Jie knocked on the door: "Wan’er, open up!"
"Mr. Chen, I’ve gone to bed, don’t come in."
"No, Wan’er, I’m here to accompany you."
"I don’t need your company, tonight accompany Su Yunjin, she’s been wronged today, you need to comfort her more, come to me tomorrow."
Chen Jie was left helpless, when they were separated at least he could choose who to hold, now he couldn’t hold either.
Is this the legend, a monk with water to drink, no that’s not right, it should be, one wife with milk to drink, two wives with no milk, what a pity...
While Chen Jie was thinking about how to get through today, Xiao Hu came to report: "The Commandery Princess is here."
Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "In the middle of the night, not accompanying my wife, but accompanying the Commandery Princess, huh?"
Xiao Hu replied with a smile: "Brother, I’ve heard, both sisters-in-law are so modest they won’t let you in, might as well meet the Commandery Princess, after all, she looks good too."
"Get out of here, will you."
Chen Jie kicked Xiao Hu and then walked to the study with him.
Upon arriving at the study, he saw the Commandery Princess, who said, "Chen Jiusi, just in time, do you know the current black market grain price?"
Chen Jie was a little stunned and asked, "How much?"
The Commandery Princess said, "It was twenty-five cents yesterday, today when I went to check, it’s already thirty cents."
Chen Jie said, "Oh, thirty cents, haha, there’s still room for it to rise, how about the amount of grain being bought?"
The Commandery Princess said, "Plenty, but it seems the merchants selling grain are still controlling the quantity of grain being sold, is there still a price increase?"
Chen Jie said, "Of course, starting today, for the next few days, the price will surely change daily."
Zhao Ya said, "How will the common people afford to eat!"
Hearing these words, Chen Jie said, "To fish, a necessary bait is needed; with bait, sacrifice is inevitable."
Zhao Ya said, "The big fish have already moved, will they take the bait?"
Chen Jie said, "Haha, they surely will, Commandery Princess, we shall wait and see."
Zhou Peng looked at Yelu and said, "Lord, today’s black market grain price has already skyrocketed to thirty cents, should we sell more?"
Yelu, upon hearing this, looked at Zhou Peng and said, "Thirty cents, haha, don’t sell, wait; Mianshui is lacking grain, the price can at least rise to sixty cents, not a single grain will be sold for less."
