General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

Li Rong wasn't really paying attention to what Chi Heng was saying; he was just focused on putting the vase back on the table and adjusting its angle.

But upon hearing the last sentence, his hand paused, and the next second, a cracking sound rang out. The vase shattered inside Li Rong's body.

Chi Heng crossed her legs and looked over: "Tsk, why weren't you more careful? You broke it, didn't you?"

Then, as if on cue, he leaned closer and said, "Never mind all that for now, tell me, what's wrong with you and your wife?"

The next second, Li Rong casually stuffed the bean cake that had been baked in the oven on the counter into Chi Heng's mouth.

The bean biscuit was so hard that Chi Heng chewed it for a long time before swallowing it. He choked so much that his neck stretched out. He took a deep breath and said, "You're trying to murder me!"

After saying this, Chi Heng rubbed her cheeks and looked up to meet Li Rong's sinister eyes.

Chi Heng was taken aback, keenly sensing something unusual.

Presumably, no one understands Li Rong better than Chi Heng. Especially when he sees the bulging veins on Li Rong's arm, his pursed lips, and his slightly narrowed eyes.
Chi Heng realized she'd stepped on his tail, and instantly sprang up from the bed. Clearing her throat, she grabbed Li Rong's clothes—the ones Jiang Nuanzhi had given her for emergencies—and said, "Um, I'm going to take a shower now. I wonder if Ping'er has boiled the water properly."

Then, under Li Rong's sinister gaze, Chi Heng flew out the door.

After closing the door, Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but pat his chest: "That was close. That bastard actually tried to beat me up. Really, it's just that my wife wouldn't let me into the room. What's the big deal?"

"Chi! Heng!"

Upon hearing those two words from inside the house, Chi Heng immediately covered her mouth and ran away from Li Rong's house.

Turning around, Chi Heng saw Sun Wen and Sun Wu staring at him. He immediately straightened his clothes and said, "Ahem, it's not that I can't beat him. It's just that I don't want to argue with such a brute."

Sun Yat-sen and Sun Tzu: "."

That makes sense; if they were in their shoes, they would have made the same choice.

Who would dare to fight the God of War, Li Rong? That's just plain stupid.
Chi Heng's eyes darted around, and he squinted at Chen Shu, who was guarding him, and beckoned, "Come here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu immediately jogged over: "Master, what are your orders?"

He had tried his best to minimize his presence. But it seems he failed.

Chi Heng stroked his chin: "Tell me, based on how long you've been in this house, how does this sister-in-law treat A Rong and her children?"

Chen Shu nodded almost without hesitation: "Doctor Jiang is naturally impeccable. She is extremely good to the children. Although she spends little time with the General, she must love and respect him deeply to extend that love to his children. Doctor Jiang is an exceptionally good person."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up: "Doctor Jiang is also extremely kind to his subordinates. Although I took the goods without paying, Doctor Jiang did not cut off my wages. With such a magnanimous heart, it's no wonder that the soldiers speak highly of Doctor Jiang."

Chi Heng frowned: "Is that all?"

As Chen Shu spoke, he couldn't help but wipe the drool from his mouth: "Master, Doctor Jiang's skills are also impeccable."

"If you've ever tasted the noodles made by Dr. Jiang himself, you definitely won't want to eat those instant noodles anymore," Chen Shu said, smacking his lips as if savoring the memory.

Then, the next second, Chi Heng slapped him hard on the head. Chen Shu winced in pain, looking confused: "Master, why did you hit me again?"

Chi Heng gritted her teeth: "You stupid idiot, all you know is eating! I'm asking you, how is their relationship?"

Chen Shu replied, "Well, this servant thinks they have a very good relationship. The general's eyes are practically glued to Physician Jiang. Physician Jiang also helps the general take care of the children. Aren't they the perfect couple?"

"Even the best-matched couples can sleep in separate rooms?"

Chen Shu was stunned: "Huh? Doctor Jiang and the General are sleeping in separate rooms?!"

Chi Heng glanced at Chen Shu and rolled her eyes helplessly: "Go play somewhere else. Seriously, I'm speechless. I actually tried to learn something from an idiot like you."

"Yes." Chen Shu didn't know what his master meant, but as long as he could leave, that was good enough. Then, Si Hai turned and ran without looking back.

However, the next second, Chi Heng caught her by the fault and pulled her back.

"Master, is there anything else you require?"

Chen Shu smiled ingratiatingly; he missed the time when his master wasn't around. At Doctor Jiang's house, he would work and eat with the family during the day, and then sleep soundly in the warm guest room until dawn—it couldn't be more comfortable.

Chi Heng pondered for a moment; "What's the name of the noodles your sister-in-law made?"

Chen Shu: "Master, didn't you say that all this servant has is a brain?"

"Find a fight!"

Chi Heng's hand moved faster than her mouth, and she slammed her fan down on Chen Shu's head.

Chen Shu clutched his head in pain, secretly regretting that he had spoken too quickly. Hurriedly protecting his head, he carefully replied, "Master, the noodles I was talking about are called crab roe noodles. The taste is absolutely amazing! Did you eat the canned fish that Doctor Jiang made today? It's even better than that!"

Then, he would check his master's expression. If his master wanted to eat it, perhaps Physician Jiang would make it? Maybe he could benefit from it and have a taste too.

Chi Heng kicked Chen Shu in the butt: "Go where you want to go, I get annoyed just looking at you."

He secretly thought to himself that he should hurry up and wash up, and then he should apologize to this sister-in-law. That bastard Chen Shu had really screwed him over.

If it weren't for this idiot, he would have met this sister-in-law properly and left a good impression. Why wouldn't she make him a simple crab roe noodle dish? Now he's even finding it difficult to bring himself to say it.

The soundproofing in the room wasn't very good, and Li Rong overheard most of what Chi Heng was saying. Normally, he would have wanted to teach him a lesson. Just like Chi Heng, he was always itching for a beating if he wasn't given a break every now and then.

But at this moment, Li Rong was so focused on seeing the room Jiang Nuanzhi had arranged for him that he really couldn't spare any free time.

Li Rong carefully examined the room inch by inch. The room wasn't large, and the entire room was decorated in soft colors, including the curtains and the bedding. Even the wood was the natural color of the wood itself, smoothly polished, with visible grain, and a faint, comfortable woody aroma.

The bed was not placed in a corner, but in the very center, with two small low tables on either side, about the same height as the bed. On the low tables were vases, books, and oil lamps.

Against the wall was a large wardrobe that covered an entire wall. Extending from the far right of the wardrobe was a table that connected to the bed, forming a desk. On the desk were writing brushes, ink, paper, and an inkstone. Hanging on the wall were his daily-use bow and arrows. Even next to the bow and arrows were a large handful of bamboo chopsticks.
