Chapter 496: Wouldn’t That Be Outrageous?

“Husband… Husband can explain himself now. Qinger is right here listening…”

Jiang Qingshang spoke to Lin Xun with a smile.

Hearing his wife’s inquiry, a drop of cold sweat appeared on Lin Xun’s forehead.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, but he hadn’t expected it to arrive so quickly.

In truth, Lin Xun still hadn’t figured out how to explain things to Qingshang.

Because no matter how he explained it, it didn’t seem right… Just as Qinger said, what Qinger knew wasn’t even the half of it.

Besides those, there were other women.

So even though Lin Xun really hadn’t done anything with them, he still felt extremely guilty.

Moreover, while in the Demon Race World, he had actually married She Qiqi.

Although it was only a fake marriage, if Qinger ever found out, she would definitely chase him down with a sword.

Not to mention that back in the Rootless Secret Realm, he and that Saintess of the Fuchen Holy Land had fallen into a blood pool together.

“Husband, why have you stopped talking?”

Jiang Qingshang’s eyes flickered slightly as her small hand caressed Lin Xun’s cheek.

“Um… Qinger… Actually, your sister—the current Empress of Qian Kingdom…”

“We’ve actually known each other since we were children.”

“It was a time of war and chaos back then; we lived together and supported one another.”

“However, we only lived together; nothing else happened.”

“I believe Sister Xiaomeng only sees me as a younger brother, though we aren’t related by blood.”

“It’s just family affection.”

“As for Wang Chen…”

“That’s a bit of a long story.”

“But look, Qinger, that all happened before I met you.”

“And I really didn’t do anything with Wang Chen.”

“Wang Chen and I are truly innocent.”

Lin Xun answered while carefully organizing his words.

However, his gaze was a bit vacant,

and he looked quite guilty as well.

Although Lin Xun really hadn’t done anything with Wang Chen, calling them “completely innocent” would be a stretch.

“Oh, I see.”

“In that case, Husband, what about Sister Wangxing?”

“Husband, if Qinger remembers correctly, Sister Wangxing and you were supposed to break off your engagement, right?”

“So why did Sister Wangxing end up falling for you?”

“Qinger thinks this definitely didn’t happen for no reason.”

“Just what did you two go through together?”

“And does Sister Wangxing know your true identity?”

“Accidents, they were all just accidents.”

“The engagement between Wang Xing and me was truly an accident, mostly due to that Qing Tian Xuan Nu Technique.”

“But…”

“But what?” Jiang Qingshang asked with a smile.

By now, Lin Xun was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Because he realized that he wasn’t exactly innocent with Wang Xing either.

“Anyway, Wang Xing doesn’t know about my other identity.”

Lin Xun quickly changed the subject.

Lin Xun felt like he really hadn’t done anything.

“So why do I feel like such a scumbag?”

“And how do you explain the Saintess of Medicine King Valley?”

“Regarding that Saintess of Medicine King Valley… I really just see Zhu Ling as a little sister.”

“After all, Zhu Ling is so lively and pure; it’s easy to feel protective of her.”

“But I really don’t have that kind of relationship with Zhu Ling.”

“As for the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect, at the very least, she and I are innocent.”

That’s right, he hadn’t touched her, so they really were innocent.

“Right…”

Jiang Qingshang smilingly interrupted Lin Xun.

“I almost forgot if Husband hadn’t mentioned her—there’s also the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect.”

“That Saintess of the Huanxi Sect is truly beautiful. Does Husband really not like her?”

As she spoke, Jiang Qingshang stepped forward and leaned her face against Lin Xun’s chest.

Then, her small hands laced through Lin Xun’s fingers, locking them together.

“Husband doesn’t need to worry.”

“You’re a man; having several wives and concubines is actually nothing.”

“If Husband wants to take a concubine, just let Qinger know.”

“Am I the kind of woman who gets jealous?”

“Qinger isn’t a narrow-minded woman, right?”

“Besides, with more of Husband’s confidantes around, the house will be more lively. Don’t you agree, Husband?”

Lin Xun: “…”

If he had only just started dating Qinger, Lin Xun might have actually believed her.

But he had already lived with Qinger for many years.

No matter what, Lin Xun wasn’t going to fall for it again.

“Forget it, let’s stop here for today. I won’t ask Husband any more questions. We’ll just take it one step at a time, right?”

Seeing Lin Xun’s conflicted and helpless expression, Jiang Qingshang felt some Life Qi in her heart, but also found it a bit amusing.

Her Life Qi naturally stemmed from her husband’s philandering ways.

As for the amusement, it was from seeing her husband look so aggrieved and lost; she hadn’t expected him to have such a cute side.

In truth, Jiang Qingshang couldn’t say she liked the idea of Lin Xun taking concubines, but she wasn’t entirely opposed to it either.

If those women truly loved her husband, then allowing them into the family wasn’t out of the question.

After all, it was normal for her husband to have had his own feelings and life before meeting her.

But as the head of the family and the matriarch,

Jiang Qingshang felt she still needed to be strict with her husband.

Otherwise, if this continued,

with her husband’s Peach Blossom Luck being so strong, what if he started bringing all sorts of women home?

Wouldn’t that be outrageous?

Moreover, the main thing was that she had originally told Wang Xing she would never marry in this lifetime.

Yet not only had she married, she had also snatched away Wang Xing’s fiancé.

How was she supposed to face Wang Xing now?

Although this wasn’t entirely her fault since she hadn’t known,

it was a fact nonetheless.

She couldn’t stop Wang Xing from marrying into the family.

Wang Xing was fine.

But…

Thinking of that annoying Su Ying,

and how she might have to live with her in the future,

Jiang Qingshang felt very uncomfortable.

She couldn’t help but want to bite her husband.

Besides that,

what about her own sister?

She didn’t hate her sister.

But when her sister officially joined the family, who would call whom “Sister”?

“Qinger, what’s wrong? Qinger?”

Seeing his wife fall silent with a slight frown, Lin Xun felt very guilty.

“It’s nothing. Husband, don’t talk to me for the next few days. Since you have all those confidantes anyway, why don’t you go live with them instead?”

The more Jiang Qingshang thought about it, the more Qi she felt, and the more Qi she felt, the more she thought.

Finally, the young woman raised her foot, stomped on Lin Xun’s instep, and ran away.
