Water Margin: Gao Yanei is actually a Gal Genius

Seeing that the woman in his arms had turned red at the ears, Lin Chong was about to comfort her, saying that it was fine since she hadn't brought it; he, Lin Chong, wasn't the kind of person who was so eager for sex.

Then Zhang Yao continued, "...Husband, please give me a child."

Lin Chong was shocked. "My wife, your health isn't good. If things don't go well during childbirth, it could cost you your life!"

Zhang Yao looked up at Lin Chong, two lines of tears already streaming down her face.

"I've been terrified these past few days. If anything were to happen to my husband, I have no children of my own. How could I face our ancestors in the Lin family?!"

"No, no, my wife, you should rest for another two years before we talk about having children."

Zhang Yao gently shook her head. She had been terrified these past two days; if Lin Chong were to die like this, she had no idea how she would go on living.

"Either you divorce me, or you take another concubine. Otherwise, I'll risk my life to ensure the continuation of your Lin family line."

Lin Chong thought for a moment, then realized that he didn't know when he would be able to return home after going to Liangshan, so leaving a child for his wife wouldn't be bad.

His wife was in poor health, so he asked his brother Gao Jin to find someone to take care of her day and night.

There shouldn't be any major problems, after all, my wife has been recuperating for three years.

So Lin Chong nodded, "Alright, it's as my wife wishes. Give the Lin family a big, healthy son!"

Zhang Yao then smiled, took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and began to recount what she had seen and heard in the past two days, mainly the banquet at the Cai residence.

When Zhang Yao mentioned that Cai Xiu had tricked her into entering the Cai residence, Lin Chong's brows furrowed.

"My wife, my brother is definitely not that kind of person."

Lin Chong, who had intended to say something harsh, found himself unable to utter those words when he learned that his wife, who valued her reputation above all else, was willing to sacrifice it for him.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Zhang Yao rolled her eyes at Lin Chong. "Husband, please let me finish. Of course I know that my uncle is not that kind of person. Otherwise, why would he have rushed to the Gao residence as soon as the Grand Commandant summoned him?"

Then he recounted how Gao Jin treated her with courtesy at the banquet, peeling crabs for her when she was hungry, and serving her snacks and wine, without treating her like a maid or servant.

After listening, Lin Chong pointed a finger at Zhang Yao's forehead.

"You're lucky you got tricked into working as a slave in the Cai household. Luckily you met your brother. If others saw this, they would probably laugh at you for serving a slave."

Zhang Yao wasn't about to back down either, reaching out and pinching Lin Chong's waist. "If it weren't for you, how could I have been tricked?"

Lin Chong pleaded for forgiveness repeatedly, "My lady, I was wrong, it was too itchy... Oh, I never expected that my brother, a dignified young master, would treat my lady with such courtesy."

"What 'young master'? That's my uncle, your brother. From now on, you'd better listen to your brother. Listen to me..." Zhang Yao started recounting Gao Jin's humiliation from the beginning.

When Gao Jin offered him a toast, Cai Xiu ignored him, and Lin Chong frowned again.

Upon hearing Gao Jin perform the dance, Lin Chong's breathing became heavier.

Lin Chong's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Cai Xiu and others prevent Gao Jin from writing lyrics and humiliate him in front of the princess.

However, Zhang Yao immediately explained that they encountered the princess when they left, and Gao Jin rewrote the lyrics, which made Lin Chong feel a little better.

Who knew that Zhang Yao would bring up what happened when they left the island in the middle of the lake.

Upon hearing that Cai Xiu actually wanted to force his brother and his wife to do that shameful thing, Lin Chong clenched his fists tightly.

Upon hearing Gao Jin's refusal, Cai Xiu actually tried to use him to force Gao Jin to become his concubine, which caused Lin Chong to completely lose his temper.

He stood up and kicked over the table in front of him, his breathing heavy, his eyes bloodshot, and his voice fierce, "That scoundrel Cai Xiu, he's gone too far!"

No wonder Grand Commandant Gao looked like that; Lin Chong understood everything now.

Once he joins Liangshan, he'll inevitably have to settle scores with Cai Xiu.

Lin Chong took two deep breaths to calm himself down and looked at his wife beside him. "Did I scare you, my wife?"

"No. My uncle made a much bigger commotion than you at the banquet that day, but he didn't frighten me at all," Zhang Yao said.

Lin Chong was a little unconvinced, but he asked with a smile, "Then tell me, what exactly did my brother do?"

"When the crabs were served, my uncle saw that it was me and asked me curiously why. After hearing my answer, he flew into a rage, slammed his fist on the table, and the once noisy banquet hall instantly fell silent!"

"Brother, you're so generous! What happened next? I heard from my wife that they didn't fight at the banquet, did they?"

"No, there was a fat guy at the table who was talking sinisterly about treason and wanting to be executed by slow slicing, and what slow slicing should be like, and then my uncle sat down."

Lin Chong naturally understood that Cai Xiu and his group were using him to threaten Gao Jin. He sighed and said, "Alas, if I had known that my brother was going to be humiliated, I would have preferred not to save me."

The young couple were chatting when they heard a gruff voice ring out, "Brother? Brother, are you there? I'm here!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong recognized Lu Zhishen and quickly replied, "I'm on the second floor, brother, please come up and talk."

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Lu Zhishen appeared on the second floor. As soon as he saw Lin Chong, he rushed over, grabbed Lin Chong's hand, and tried to pull him outside, shouting, "Brother, run! Something's happened!"

Lin Chong was shocked, thinking that Cai Jing had invaded the Gao residence. "Could it be that Cai Jing and his men have attacked? Brother, take me to find some weapons and help the Grand Commandant."

Lu Zhishen stopped in his tracks, looking at Lin Chong in astonishment. "Brother, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Lin Chong was also stunned. "If it wasn't Cai Jing who called, why are you in such a panic, brother?"

"Brother has been beaten!" Lu Zhishen led Lin Chong outside again.

Lin Chong broke free from Lu Zhishen's grasp and quickly came to his side. Together, they hurried towards Gao Jin's direction, asking, "Who hit him?"

"That crazy woman Chen Liqing did it!" Lu Zhishen shouted.

Lin Chong paused. It was more likely that Chen Xizhen would hit him, but Chen Liqing would hit Gao Jin? Had he misheard?

"Brother, is there some misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding? No misunderstanding? Brother, why are you behaving like your older brother?!"

"And my brother, his back was clearly covered in blood, but he insisted that Chen Liqing was applying medicine for him!"

"I've been on the battlefield before, and I've been wounded more than once or twice. I've never bled this much from applying medicine!"

"Brother, come with me and try to persuade my brother. He might be under some kind of sorcery!"

"Isn't Chen Xizhen a Taoist priest? I bet he got some unorthodox Buddhist teachings and had his daughter learn them."

"He's completely captivated by our brother..."

Lu Zhishen chattered incessantly, like a giant firecracker.

After thinking for a while, Lin Chong finally grasped the key point: "So, it was when Miss Chen was applying medicine to my brother that she accidentally injured him?"

"It wasn't an accident! When I first arrived, Chen Liqing slapped my brother on the back, and blood spurted out two or three zhang high."

"I saw it myself, my brother's face was pale with pain! I was about to confront Chen Liqing, but my brother stopped me, insisting that he was applying medicine to his wound!"

"Brother, tell me, where can I get bloodletting treatment?!"
