Chapter 237

　Sima Pingbo stayed in Yanzhou for a few days. Except for meeting Pang Jun at the dinner on the first night, he was unable to meet Pang Jun at other times. The only person accompanying him was a smiling official from Liaodong. Although he learned that Pang Jun was not really obedient to the Tianjing court, he still could not get any deeper information. In desperation, he had to leave Yanzhou with his men and return to Zhejiang.

　　In addition to handling government affairs, Pang Jun spent most of his time in the villa with Wang Fangmei. The beautiful woman also put aside all her affairs and served the young man wholeheartedly. When Sima Pingbo left, the beautiful mature woman was sitting on Pang Jun's thighs, peeling a Western grape, holding it in her cherry lips and kissing it into Pang Jun's mouth.

　　On the eve of leaving, the two had sex crazily in the villa, and they even came to the yard and made love to their heart's content. After a night of madness, they called it a day. The next morning, with the help of Pang Jun, Wang Fangmei hobbled onto the ship bound for Yingyu Island.

　　Except for Shen Qiong, no other wives and concubines knew about Pang Jun's whereabouts in the past few days. Pang Yue curiously asked Tang Yuxian, who was embroidering a sachet for Pang Jun, "Mother, aren't you curious? My husband has rarely come home these days. Where has he gone? I asked Sister Qingyu, but she also said that she hasn't seen my husband. Aren't you worried?"

　　Tang Yuxian smiled faintly, touched her daughter's head and said, "What are you worried about? He is your husband, your own man. Do you have no confidence in your man or in yourself? This man always has his own little secrets, but no matter what, this is his home and we are all his wives."

　　After hearing this, Pang Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "But my husband is too philandering. There are so many women at home, but it's not enough. There are also a lot of women outside, especially Shen Qiong. She makes me feel very nervous. It's really weird."

　　Speaking of Shen Qiong, Tang Yuxian also had a subtle feeling about her, as if this woman should not exist in this world. Her eyes seemed to contain endless stories, and Pang Jun was also very respectful to her. He even made her a personal female official, and his trust in her was comparable to his trust in himself. What was even more strange was that this woman lived in the back house of the Governor's Mansion and seemed to be Pang Jun's private concubine, but in fact Pang Jun seemed to have never stayed overnight with her. This made Tang Yuxian think that Shen Qiong was not Pang Jun's woman, but an existence that Pang Jun needed to respect.

　　However, she kept all of this in her heart and did not tell anyone, let alone Pang Yue, for fear of adding to her worries. She also absolutely believed that Pang Jun had his own reasons for doing this, so she did not ask any questions.

　　Thinking of this, Tang Yuxian knocked on her daughter's head and said, "You are the one who is nosy. Sister Qiong is my husband's savior. I heard from my husband that she is also an extremely smart and well-read person. My husband is smart and cautious by nature. He will never rashly let a woman he doesn't trust be his personal maid. Also, as the wife of a duke, you need to obey everyone when handling matters in the harem. Although you are my daughter and my husband loves you, you can't be spoiled. You are the same age as Wen'er, Isiniya and Ying'er. Try to get along well with them, understand?"

　　"My daughter understands." Although Pang Yue likes to act coquettishly and misbehave normally, she still gladly accepts Tang Yuxian's teachings.

　　In Ji Shuanghua's room, Zhong Nanping, Zhu Shiyao and Han Jiaying were all gathered together. At this time, Ji Shuanghua's third child was already showing signs of pregnancy. The beautiful mature woman was sitting on a recliner, gently rocking, stroking her slightly bulging belly with her hand, squinting her eyes and dozing off. Her eldest daughter Zhong Nanping was holding a baby in each hand. In her left hand was Pang Yiyi, Zhong Nanping's youngest daughter who gave birth to Pang Jun, and in her right hand was her youngest daughter Pang Xuan, who had just been born not long ago. Pang Yiyi had just been weaned not long ago. Pang Xuan was opening her little mouth and sucking on her sister's (Zhong Nanping's) nipple. Her granddaughter Han Jiaying was holding her great-granddaughter Pang Nian, and Zhu Shiyao was holding her son Pang Shen and teasing them. There was a harmonious and happy atmosphere.

　　After playing with the child for a while, Han Jiaying pouted and said, "I don't know where my husband has been these days. He brought back three women last month, and even brought back the princess some time ago. That's fine, but he hasn't stayed at the mansion these days. I don't know which wild woman he has gone to."

　　Ji Shuanghua opened her beautiful eyes and glared at her granddaughter, saying, "Ying'er, you are talking nonsense again. Your husband is a prince, and it is not our turn to say anything about his three wives and four concubines. Be careful if someone hears it and tells your wife, I will not be able to protect you then."

　　"Hehe, how could that be? Madam is gentle and kind, and she treats us so well. How could she bear to punish us? Besides, you are the mother of the first male in the Liu family, and your husband's most beloved concubine. How could she punish you?" Han Jiaying said with a grin.

　　The beautiful mature woman pointed at Han Jiaying, glared at her eldest daughter Zhong Nanping, and said, "Look, the good daughter you taught has no respect for her parents. Madam treats you well because you are your husband's concubine, but if you break the rules, Madam will be ruthless to you. Don't forget that Madam used to be a princess and was in charge of the King of Wei's backyard."

　　"That's right," Zhong Nanping also said at this time, "Ying'er, you should feel lucky that the lady is in charge of the backyard now. If it were a more strict woman, she would not allow you to act like this. If you were half as strict as your cousin in observing the rules of being a wife, your grandmother and I wouldn't have to worry. You are already a mother, why are you still acting like a child?"

　　Zhu Shiyao, who was standing by, smiled shyly and said, "Shiyao is just a quiet person by nature, and Ying'er is a lively person by nature, so it's understandable that she is a little more lively."

　　At this time, Ji Shuanghua asked Zhu Shiyao, "Shiyao, you have always liked reading. I heard that the girl Shen Qiong who recently joined the sect is also a girl who likes reading. Have you communicated with her?"

　　Zhu Shiyao nodded, a look of admiration in her eyes, and said, "Sister Qiong is a knowledgeable person. Shiyao's little knowledge is like a mountain in front of her. If your husband lets her become a personal maid to help handle affairs, it will definitely be a great help."

　　"That's good," Ji Shuanghua nodded slightly and said to the three women, "We don't have the noble status of Madam and the little princess, nor do we have the profound knowledge of Sister Shen Qiong, and we can't help our husband train the army like Lyudmila. What we can do is to make our husband feel relaxed and happy when he comes to us, and help Madam stabilize the backyard. My husband is now a duke, and he may go further in the future, but the premise is the peace of the backyard, so we must never cause trouble for our husband, understand?"

　　"My daughter (granddaughter) (Shiyao) understands." The three girls agreed in unison. Ji Shuanghua closed her eyes with satisfaction and continued to take a nap.

　　In Pan Tong's room, the six women of the Five Mountains Sword Sect gathered together. Compared to Ding Wen and Yu Lingyan, who were anxious about not being favored by Pang Jun for several days, Pan Tong and Yue Siwan, mother and daughter, were much calmer. They were the first women to follow Pang Jun and knew a lot about him. They knew that Pang Jun was a man who loved new things and did not dislike old ones, and he cherished old friendships.

　　In addition to working outside, he has treated all the women in the harem equally for many years, and treated his children the same way, whether they were his own (the daughter born to Huangfu Junyi and Ling Xiaofu did not reveal her identity), so looking at Yu Lingyan and Ding Wen with worried faces, Pan Tong said softly: "Two nephews, please be patient. Since the husband has accepted you, he will not treat you badly. We have been with the husband for many years. Although we are not as favored as the sister next door, he has never neglected us. Just be patient."

　　Having said that, Ding Wen and Yu Lingyan are not unaware of this truth, but compared to the few days when they just gave their bodies to Pang Jun and let him play with them, it is obvious that Pang Jun is not as eager about their bodies as before during this period, and the two women still feel a little lost.

　　As for Huangfu Junyi and Ling Xiaofu, mother and daughter, they had already been trained into sex slaves, and their reputation outside had become somewhat unbearable. It was a great blessing for Pang Jun to take them and their children in, and when Pang Jun was away, he often let them serve him personally. This was a good thing that many women envied, so how could they dare to have any extravagant hopes.

　　Among the women of various factions in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, the most stable ones are the few Rakshasa beauties. Lyudmila often needs to go to the military camp to train cavalry. Ishnia is too young, so the responsibility of raising the children and taking care of her younger sisters falls on the eldest sister Catherine. They know that they are outsiders in the backyard. If they want to integrate into the life in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, they must adapt to the local customs. Therefore, in addition to their daily lives, the three women are learning Han culture. After Pang Jun knew about this, he comforted the women when chatting with them that they don't need to force themselves too much, just let it go, which made them feel a lot more at ease.

　　A few years passed, and Lyudmila's desire to return to her homeland faded a lot. Over the years, she trained batch after batch of heavy cavalry. Coupled with the deterrent power brought by her terrifying strength, she was a formidable presence in the Liaodong Heavy Cavalry Regiment. What's more, life in the Governor's Mansion was a hundred times better than in Mojiang Village. There were people to serve her every day, and she was free. These were what she and her daughter had always dreamed of. Pang Jun would come to them several times a month, which basically satisfied them.

　　Pang Jun, who was watching the ship sailing away at this time, had no idea what the women in the backyard were thinking. But to him, these women, whether they were lovers or playthings, had been taken into his backyard and became the sweet delicacies under his crotch. So he had the responsibility to treat them well. He had no way to retreat at this time. The only way to keep everything in front of him was to move forward and climb onto that seat. He shook his head, took a deep breath, turned his horse's head and galloped towards his goal.
