Marquis, I Want Your Woman

Xu Weibei glanced at him.

Gao Lan took two steps back, scratched his head, and said, "My Marquis, please don't look at me like that. It's making me uneasy."

"Go back and find out who tipped off Grandmother!"

"... Yes!" Gao Lan didn't forget to express his loyalty, "My Marquis, you trust me, I absolutely haven't mentioned this to anyone else."

"If I suspected you, I wouldn't have let you investigate." Xu Weibei glanced at the sunset glow, "Let's go back to the manor first."

He still had to try and get his hands on Gu Wanning.

--Let women communicate with women.

Perhaps communication between men and women transcends species, making it impossible for them to communicate effectively.

At most, he'll repay the favor when Gu Wanning needs help again.

Xu Weibei actually had something weighing on his mind, and that was...

Chapter 48 My Marquis, I Want Your Woman

Xu Weibei was worried about Linglong and the baby in her belly.

Although he didn't understand women, he still had a strong impression of his grandmother's ruthless and decisive nature.

He felt that his grandmother might not allow Linglong to give birth to the child safely.

In particular, the grandmother did not allow the birth of boys.

It wasn't about whether it was a boy or a girl, or whether he would bring the child home. Now that the grandmother knew the truth, she probably wouldn't even let that child be born.

The fact that the Grand Princess knew the truth but remained silent made Xu Weibei feel uneasy.

He needs to think carefully about how to deal with this.

Nothing good has happened today.

Xu Weibei led Gao Lan horseback towards the Marquis's Residence's residence.

From afar, he saw someone pacing back and forth at the entrance of the Marquis's Residence, looking very anxious and glancing around frequently.

It was getting dark, so I couldn't make out the person's features.

But what you can tell is that it's a huge piece.

That person was tall and burly, looking like a giant from a distance.

Although Xu Weibei couldn't see clearly, he already had a vague guess in his mind, but he was also somewhat hesitant to believe it.

He instinctively squeezed his legs tightly around the horse's flanks and sped up to catch up.

"The Marquis is back? Marquis, Qin Lie greets the Marquis!"

It really was him!

Xu Weibei was overjoyed. He dismounted, helped the person who had come to pay his respects, and said with a hearty laugh, "Why have you come looking for me today?"

Qin Lie was a valiant general in the Southwestern Army.

He was born into the prestigious Qin Family, but he belonged to a collateral branch. He grew up without a father and was raised by his widowed mother with great difficulty.

Qin's mother originally hoped that her son could Qin Family academy, and after asking around for help, she finally got her wish. However, Qin Lie beat up almost all the Qin Family disciples in the academy...

Xu Weibei had never quite understood this matter—if he was living under someone else's roof, why would the Qin Residence allow him to repeatedly beat people?

Gao Lan, who was ordered to investigate Qin Lie, said, "No, my Marquis, you misunderstand. I didn't say he beat people repeatedly. He only did it once, and he beat almost all the members of the Qin Family to the ground..."

One against many, sweeping through.

Then Qin Lie was expelled from the Qin Family school.

If it weren't for someone protecting him, he probably would have been expelled from the clan.

The person who protected him was Lü Qian, who was stationed in the southwest.

Then Qin Lie followed Lü Qian.

Xu Weibei investigated Qin Lie because he admired Qin Lie's bravery and wanted to recruit him into his ranks.

In short, they wanted to poach Lü Qian's men.

However, no matter what they offered, Qin Lie refused to agree to the offer after several previous attempts.

Some people say that Qin Lie is Lü Qian's chosen son-in-law and his selected "successor".

Unexpectedly, Qin Lie took the initiative to come to him today, which naturally pleased Xu Weibei.

"I'd like to ask the Marquis for something."

"Are you asking for something?" Xu Weibei patted him on the shoulder. "Come on, have a few drinks with me, we'll talk slowly. I've been wanting to treat you to a drink for a while, but I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position."

"No trouble at all," Qin Lie said. "Now it is I who need your help, Marquis. At this point, it is inappropriate for me to enter the Marquis's Residence again, and I will have to trouble the Marquis's wife to send someone to prepare wine and food. If the Marquis would be so kind as to grant me this honor, I have someone prepare a banquet at Swallow Cloud Tower."

"Alright, let's go to Swallow Cloud Tower then, and drink until we're drunk!"

Xu Weibei, eager to nurture talent, suspected nothing and immediately followed Qin Lie.

Gao Lan kept giving him meaningful glances, fearing a trap or a trap, but Xu Weibei seemed blind and didn't see it at all.

Gao Lan was really worried, so he had no choice but to go along.

Qin Lie and Xu Weibei toasted each other, and soon they had drunk several rounds of wine.

"My Marquis, I'm a rough man, straightforward and honest, so I won't beat around the bush." Qin Lie put down his wine bowl and got to the point, "General Lü has been kind to me, so I don't want to move."

Xu Weibei was reluctant to part with her, but on the surface he said, "You are a person of great loyalty. I understand. It's alright, anywhere is fine, you're serving the court anyway."

That's such a shame.

"But I've done right by General Lü all these years," Qin Lie said. "It's not that I can't move, but there needs to be a reason, doesn't Your Marquis say?"

Xu Weibei immediately understood. "Yes, whatever you want to do, I'll help you. If you're hesitant to ask, I'll go to General Lü to ask for the person; if you have any family worries or other difficulties, tell me as well."

This is a negotiation stage, to see what everyone's cards are up their sleeve.

"My biggest problem right now is that I don't have a wife."

Xu Weibei: "... You're still short of wives? If you want, what's so difficult about having three wives and four concubines? If you want women, just name your number, and I'll give them to you. You can choose any number you like, even ten or eight!"

"The Marquis was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his destiny is noble, which is why he can keep his three wives and four concubines. I'm a rough man, I don't think that much, I just want a satisfactory wife to keep my mother company, and when I come home, there will be hot soup, hot water, and a warm bed, and a woman to hold and sleep with."

Xu Weibei was somewhat surprised, but he wasn't stupid. He vaguely guessed what was going on. "You've taken a fancy to a noble lady from some family, and that family happens to be acquainted with me, so you want me to put in a good word for you?"
