Chapter 48 The First Step in Training a Concubine to Become a Female General!

"Cousin, you're amazing!" Dou Zhao clapped and cheered excitedly as she watched Zhao Zhangru wielding her twin swords with great skill in the open space in front of her.

"So dashing!" Miao Ansu, standing beside him, looked at Zhao Zhangru with starry eyes and exclaimed, "Besides the Marquis, you're the one I admire most!"

Hearing the shouts of her two sisters, Zhao Zhangru, who was practicing the Gale Blade Technique in the field, became even more energetic! Her movements became even faster, and for a moment, the wind from her blades was fierce, stirring up the fallen leaves in the courtyard!

Seeing this, Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu exchanged a smile. Indeed, sisters should encourage each other! Looking at Zhao Zhangru's exhausted figure just moments before, she was immediately full of energy again!

Of course, while they were busy cheering for Zhao Zhangru, they also didn't forget to peel grapes and pour wine for Wei Tingyu, who was sitting at the table next to them.

The Marquis is really good to his sisters; he even taught Zhao Zhangru such amazing martial arts! If Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu hadn't been completely uninterested in martial arts, they would definitely have learned along with them.

Wei Tingyu opened his mouth and let Miao Ansu put a peeled grape into his mouth. He chewed it slowly, savoring its sweetness, and nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, Zhao Zhangru is a martial arts prodigy!

He distributed the basic internal energy to her, and the girl took it without hesitation, which opened the door to a new world of martial arts for her!

Under Wei Tingyu's guidance, she quickly mastered the use of internal energy and also learned the first few moves of the Gale Blade Technique that Wei Tingyu had taught her.

Putting everything else aside, Zhao Zhangru is absolutely certain of victory against Song Mo, who was originally the top martial arts expert in the drama!

For Wei Tingyu, this was merely the first step in cultivating a female general who could fight alongside him to conquer the world!

After all, the person who can serve as the general of one of his armies must be someone he can trust! And who could he trust more than his own concubine?

"What? You two have ideas too?" Dou Zhao noticed the Su Xin and Su Lan sisters standing behind him, who were also staring intently at Zhao Zhangru, who was wielding a sword, with expressions of envy.

After all, both of them were martial artists, and Zhao Zhangru was making rapid progress! Especially the Gale Blade Technique personally taught by the Marquis, which the two sisters loved even more! However, as Dou Zhao's servants, they dared not make any excessive demands except to watch with envy.

However, the kind-hearted Dou Zhao noticed their longing and took the initiative to ask them.

"Reporting to Madam!" Su Xin and Su Lan bowed slightly to Dou Zhao at the same time, and then said, "We martial artists cannot help but be tempted by such profound swordsmanship, and naturally we also want to learn it..."

"I see!" Dou Zhao nodded with a smile, but then looked at Wei Tingyu sitting next to him, his brows furrowing slightly. "It's just that this sword technique was taught to me by the Marquis, so I'm afraid it's not easy to teach it to you so easily..."

"It's alright!" However, Wei Tingyu, whose senses were extraordinary, had of course heard the conversation between the three women behind him. He didn't even turn his head, but simply said indifferently, "As long as Ru'er is willing to teach you, I have no objection!"

"Okay! No problem!" Just then, Zhao Zhangru stopped practicing and came over to get a glass of water. She overheard their conversation and immediately nodded.

"However, you two must respectfully serve me tea and formally become my disciples!" Of course, Zhao Zhangru's agreement was not without conditions. If he were to easily pass on such a fine set of sword techniques to others, the other party would certainly need to show some sincerity.

However, Zhao Zhangru's own desire to show off also played a part. She had long wanted to take on apprentices and become their masters, how prestigious that would be!

"Thank you, Lord Marquis! Thank you, Aunt Zhao!" Upon hearing this, Su Xin and Su Lan were overjoyed, knowing that there would be no obstacle to learning the Gale Blade Technique. Without saying a word, they knelt down and performed the apprenticeship ceremony to Zhao Zhangru.

"Good, good, good! You're all teachable! You'll practice with me today, and I'll teach you the first move!" Zhao Zhangru's face lit up with joy. She never expected that after becoming a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, she would actually have disciples. She immediately burst into laughter.

She had only recently learned the Gale Blade Technique; Wei Tingyu had only taught her the first three moves. Now, he was going to teach the first move to Su Xin and Su Lan, which would fulfill their wish to become a master and take on apprentices.

"Thank you for your consideration, Lord Marquis!" Dou Zhao saw Su Xin and Su Lan happily running off to practice martial arts with Zhao Zhangru before turning around and respectfully bowing to Wei Tingyu.

After all, these two maids had been by his side for many years and had protected him many times. In Dou Xiao's heart, they were no different from his own sisters!

“They’re both your people!” Wei Tingyu waved his hand and said, “Now they’re also the people of the Marquis’s mansion! The higher their martial arts skills, the safer the Marquis’s mansion and you will be. Why wouldn’t I want that?!”

Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu exchanged a glance, both seeing joy and relief in each other's eyes!

Indeed! I made the right choice marrying such a broad-minded, far-sighted, and visionary man!

"My Lord!" Miao Ansu, who was particularly sentimental, couldn't help but lean her head on Wei Tingyu's shoulder and said with her eyes slightly closed, "I only wish that this moment could last forever! If I could spend every day with you, my Lord, in such carefree ease, that would be the greatest happiness of my life!"

“Su Su is right!” Dou Zhao also slowly stepped forward and sat down on the other side of Wei Tingyu, and like her, slowly rested her head on the other shoulder.

Such a blessing of having multiple wives! Wei Tingyu should have been enjoying it with a clear conscience!

Just as he gently wrapped his arms around the two women's slender waists, he looked up at the distant sky.

Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu sensed Wei Tingyu's emotional change almost simultaneously. They both looked up and followed their husband's gaze, only to freeze in place.

At that moment, a large patch of dark clouds appeared on the horizon, sweeping in like a siege! Thunder rumbled from afar, reaching everyone's ears!

"It's going to rain heavily!" Dou Zhao frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

With such a large cloud cover, this heavy rain might last for quite a while.

My grandmother's side...

"Pack the carriage!" Wei Tingyu seemed to have expected this, and said directly, "Let's go to the farm in the countryside to visit your grandmother!"

Chapter 49 This is too much! Bringing wives and concubines to visit his grandmother?!

"Madam, the rain is too heavy! This won't do!"

"Yes! You've just gotten a little better, what if you catch a cold and get caught in the rain?"

"If the second young lady comes back and sees that you are sick, she will definitely blame us!"

At this moment, outside the farm of Dou Zhao's grandmother, Old Lady Cui, a group of servants and maids were trying their best to stop the stubborn old lady from rushing into the heavy rain.

However, their efforts seemed to be in vain, because no matter how these people tried to dissuade her, Old Mrs. Cui was determined to leave the manor at this time!

The second young lady, who had previously been raised by her grandmother and had a very good relationship with Old Madam Cui, has now become a noble lady of the capital!

The family members trembled with fear at the thought that Madam Hou might blame them for not taking good care of her!

"The Second Miss is back! The Second Miss is back!"

However, just when everyone was about to lose control of Old Madam Cui, the gatekeeper suddenly came running from afar through the heavy rain and puddles, shouting loudly as he did so.

This sound stunned everyone in the manor, leaving them frozen in place.

The Second Miss? Isn't that the current Lady of Jining? She's back?

Everyone, including Old Mrs. Cui, was initially skeptical. After all, the farm was quite a distance from the capital, and how could Dou Zhao, now a wealthy socialite, simply come back whenever she wanted?

Her husband's family will definitely not let her go so easily!

Then, immediately following from the direction of the main gate, a luxurious two-wheeled carriage appeared in everyone's view, slowly driving towards the main gate of the manor.

Judging from the specifications of this carriage, it is one that only nobles and dukes of the current dynasty are qualified to use!

Dou Zhao's dowry maid, Su Lan Su Xin, was sitting in front of the carriage, acting as the coachman.

Meanwhile, eight guards, four men and four women, rode tall horses to protect the carriage.

Even if Old Madam Cui and the servants didn't want to believe it, they couldn't! Everyone stood there stunned, watching helplessly as the carriage drove up to the steps in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome young nobleman lifted the curtain and gracefully jumped down from the carriage. Then, Dou Zhao, the granddaughter whom Old Madam Cui had been longing for day and night, also came out and slowly got off the carriage with the help of the young man.

But that wasn't all. Following closely behind Dou Chao were two women, whom everyone present, including Old Madam Cui, recognized.

It was Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, Dou Zhao's best friend and cousin who had grown up together.

The three women now had their hair piled high, indicating that they were married, and they were dressed in luxurious clothes and cloaks.

The two of them were naturally helped down from the carriage by the young master who had started them.

"Shou Gu! You're back!" Old Mrs. Cui was somewhat bewildered by the current situation, but it was clear that the fact that her granddaughter was here was more important. Her eyes reddened, and without saying a word, she took two steps forward, wanting to embrace Dou Zhao.

Seeing that her grandmother still had such deep feelings for her, Dou Zhao couldn't hold back at all and rushed into her grandmother's arms like a little bird without saying a word.

"Grandmother... Waaah..." The two women, one old and one young, ended up hugging each other and crying.

However, this scene was expected by everyone present, after all, everyone knew about the bond between the grandmother and granddaughter! Their current reaction of embracing and crying was the most normal one!

"Alright, alright, don't cry! It's good that you're back to see your grandmother..." After the two of them sobbed together for a while, Grandma Cui patted her granddaughter's back, then took two steps back and pulled Dou Zhao to look her over carefully, examining her from left to right, up to down, before nodding in satisfaction.

Fortunately, it seems that the Marquis of Jining's family did not mistreat their granddaughter; at least for now, Dou Zhao's life seems to be quite comfortable.

"Grandmother, rest assured!" At this moment, the young master who had jumped down first stepped forward and bowed to Old Madam Cui with both hands clenched into fists, saying, "Zhao'er is definitely not missing a single finger or a single hair!"

This person is none other than Marquis Wei Tingyu of Jining!

"This must be my grandson-in-law!" Old Mrs. Cui looked Wei Tingyu up and down again, finding this grandson-in-law quite likable. Not only was he handsome and dashing, but he had also personally accompanied Dou Zhao back to visit her.

She's probably not someone who's unafraid of being gossiped about by other noble families in the capital! That's quite in line with Old Madam Cui's temperament!

However, the next second, Grandma Cui's gaze fell on Miao Ansu and Zhao Zhangru, who had been following Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu...

As Dou Zhao's best friend, whom she grew up with in the village, Old Mrs. Cui naturally considered the two girls family. However, the current relationship between them made her somewhat uneasy...

Old Mrs. Cui knew the backgrounds of both the Miao and Zhao families. When did these two girls become able to afford such noble and gorgeous clothes?

Especially the cloaks draped over their backs, which Old Madam Cui could tell at a glance were made of very expensive genuine fox fur, the same level as the one Dou Zhao was wearing!

These cloaks were warm and comfortable to wear, but usually only noble families could afford them.

Seeing the two women's hair piled high like Dou Zhao's, and the spring-like feelings in their eyes, Old Madam Cui was quite certain that they had both married.

Moreover, their husbands' families wouldn't be much less powerful than the Jining Marquis's family, where their granddaughters married! They would at least be noble or ducal families of comparable rank!

This left Old Madam Cui completely bewildered. How could there be so many noble families in the capital simultaneously finding wives for their sons?! And all of them were marrying down, managing to marry off her three close friends in just two days?

Moreover, the husbands of the two women didn't seem to care at all, allowing their wives to run around with the Marquis of Jining.

Especially since Wei Tingyu personally helped the two women out of the car! You know, even the most unconventional person wouldn't hold hands with someone in broad daylight in front of so many people.

Then there's only one explanation: these three sisters are now all under the control of the Marquis of Jining!

You, Empress Jining! You've only been married to Dou Zhao for less than three days, and you're already impatiently taking two more concubines? And these two concubines are actually Dou Zhao's best friends?! (New book release! Please give flowers! Please add to your collection! Please give a reward! Please give a 10/10 rating!
