Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 198 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 5

"Okay? I'll let you go tonight. Take good care of yourself. Go to sleep! I won't touch you today." He also knew that he had gone too far yesterday. After all, it was his wife's first time. And she was so thin, how could she withstand his torment all night long?

"Yes, yes, thank you for your consideration, Lord!" Xia Xiaoxiao fell asleep almost immediately after she finished speaking. Before going to bed, remember to buy some sleeping charms the next time you return to the system space!

Leng Mufeng looked at his wife's tired sleeping face and didn't have the heart to disturb her. As he watched, he gradually became sleepy and fell asleep with Xia Xiaoxiao.

Early the next morning, Xia Xiaoxiao, who had had a very good rest, was fully recovered. She got up before Leng Mufeng woke up yet, so as to avoid facing someone's morning crowing of the golden rooster, which she would not know how to refuse.

There was nothing else to do that day. After Leng Mufeng accompanied her to pay respects to her mother-in-law in the morning, the two met the stewards and servants in the courtyard. Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the more than 100 people, gave them a lecture, and gave them rewards. The Marquis supported her silently. This meant that the mistress of the courtyard had officially returned to her position.

Xia Xiaoxiao saw what the Marquis had done in the past few days, and he had a clear mind. Why did he lose his mind later? Does love really make people stupid?

The rest of the time was spent organizing her own dowry. Although her dowry was not as rich as a ten-mile red dowry, it was still very sincere. Most of her mother's dowry was given to her, and her two brothers' dowry combined was not as much as hers. No wonder the original owner's first wish was to preserve her mother's family!

As for waking up at dawn and dusk, Xia Xiaoxiao had developed the habit at her mother's house. She was not afraid of the Leng family at all, and she would not let herself suffer any loss. Moreover, Leng Mufeng had been accompanying her to eat at Old Lady Leng's house for the past two days, and his mother would not do anything too excessive. Everything was still within Xia Xiaoxiao's acceptable range.

That night, Xia Xiaoxiao was still thinking about how to find an excuse to reject Leng Mufeng's closeness, but it turned out that he was summoned by the emperor.

Yes, there are many preparations to be done before going to war, where can we have so much time? Haha, knowing that we are going to go to war, we still have to issue an imperial decree to get married, with only a few short days, to see if we can leave a descendant.

If she doesn't come back, the imperial decree will not even allow her to remarry, and she will be forced to spend her whole life with this girl. This patriarchal world is really a tragedy for women!

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Leng Mufeng to come back. She accompanied her mother-in-law to finish dinner and went to bed early. The next day, she woke up early and was told by Qiuyu that the Marquis came back very late and slept in the front yard for fear of disturbing her.

While she was getting dressed, Leng Mufeng came in and brought her a message that she didn't need to greet the old lady today. She could just go and greet her husband, and the gifts were already prepared.

After breakfast, the two of them got on the carriage back to Xia's house. Although they were a legal couple and had been married for three days, they had only spent less than a day together. They were not familiar with each other and were quite awkward in the small space of the carriage.

"Well, Madam, are you used to living in the Marquis' Mansion these past two days?" Leng Mufeng broke the deadlock with a light cough.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I am used to it. My lord, you came back very late yesterday. Has the time for the expedition been set?" The expedition was no longer a secret, so Xia Xiaoxiao asked him naturally.

"Well, probably in the next two days."

"Then, my lord, besides clothes for all four seasons, common medicines and food, what else do I need to prepare? Does my lord have any special instructions?"

"Madam, it is enough for you to prepare these. The other housekeepers will prepare them. During the time I am away on the expedition, all the affairs of the mansion will be handed over to you, Madam."

"Please rest assured, my lord. I will take good care of the mansion and take good care of my mother and little sister."

"Okay, thank you for everything, ma'am. If you need anything, you can ask the butler to do it. If you don't understand or can't make up your mind, you can go to mother!"

"Well, I understand! I have nothing to do at home! But the Marquis is away at the battle, so you must ensure your own safety."

"Okay, I will!"

After the two exchanged a few words, they fell into silence again. Fortunately, the journey was not far, and they soon arrived at the Censorate's Mansion. There were people waiting outside the Censorate's Mansion early on, and when the carriage of the Marquisate's Mansion arrived, everyone in the mansion came out to greet it.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, we are back."

The two were welcomed in. As for the Marquis, her father and brothers would naturally take good care of him, so she didn't have to worry about it. Xia Xiaoxiao was brought into the inner courtyard by her mother. Wang saw that her daughter was well-made up, with a rosy complexion and a big smile on her face, and she knew that she was living very well in the Marquis's mansion.

After entering the room, Wang also carefully asked her daughter whether she got along well with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, whether the servants were obedient, whether the marquis respected her, and whether the couple's bedroom life was harmonious. Xia Xiaoxiao blushed and answered one by one.

When Wang learned that the Marquis had no concubine or anything like that, she felt relieved. At least the Marquis's family still respected her daughter.

As for the future, she would talk about it later. She believed that her daughter would handle it well! With the imperial decree granting marriage, as long as her daughter gave birth to a child, she would have a firm foothold in the palace. Then she would be more relieved.

"Our family is relatively well off, so you haven't experienced any of the inner house's shady tricks. Although some of these words may not be appropriate to say at this time, you are still newlyweds, and you may be unhappy to hear them, but mother still wants to tell you.

The Marquis will definitely have more than one of you in the future, and you may have to face the situation of sharing a husband with other women! So while the Marquis is away on the expedition, you should sort out the affairs of the mansion and cultivate people who are loyal to you.

As long as a woman has money, a man around her, and a child, she will be confident and will not be afraid no matter what happens. "Wang carefully admonished her daughter!

"Mom, I understand in my heart. You are saying this for my own good. Your daughter has been with you for so many years, and it is not in vain. I have learned all that I should learn. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I will write back to ask you. Mom, please don't find me annoying when the time comes." Xia Xiaoxiao rubbed Wang with her forehead.

"You, you're already married, but you're still so childish! By the way, do you know how long it will take for the Marquis to go to the war?" Wang patted her daughter lightly, but was reluctant to hit her hard.

She really enjoyed her daughter's intimacy with her. Since her daughter grew up, this kind of intimacy has become less and less, but she didn't expect that after she got married, she became close to her again.

"I don't know the exact time yet, but it will probably be in the next two days."

"You're going to war just a few days after your marriage. I'm sorry for that. But there's nothing you can do about it. It's what you have to face as a military officer's family. Don't be petty or throw a tantrum. Just guard the mansion and don't let your husband worry about the family."

"Mom, I understand."

Xia Xiaoxiao and her husband had lunch at the Imperial Censorate before returning to the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as Leng Mufeng returned to the mansion, he was notified to go to the military camp immediately, and the army would set out in three days.

During these three days, Xia Xiaoxiao led the housekeepers in the mansion to prepare luggage for him, including cloaks, armor, clothes for all seasons, shoes and socks, various kinds of dried meat and dry food, various kinds of pills, powders and medicinal materials... and some daily necessities that the Marquis often used.

The three carriages were packed full. Xia Xiaoxiao pouted a little. Fighting a war is like moving house! I heard that the commander, the third prince, also brought a few concubines with him, so he had even more luggage.

Old Lady Leng watched her daughter-in-law busying herself for her son, and she didn't want to bother her. She just told her to prepare more of everything and bring enough banknotes so that she could buy anything she needed.

The three days were up and the army was about to set off. Xia Xiaoxiao was lucky enough to participate in the farewell operation, with cavalry and infantry in a huge crowd. The emperor gave a speech, mainly to boost morale and excite people.

After that, there were oaths, drinking, and bowl smashing. After a long while, the army finally set out! The commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief rode in front of them, looking quite majestic and powerful!

There was a short period of time left for the generals and their families to say goodbye. Most of them gave small gifts, such as sachets and handkerchiefs, and tearfully told them not to forget themselves.

Xia Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone. Her bag was bigger than anyone else's. It was filled with freshly-baked, fragrant beef jerky and meat pies for them to eat on the road!

Leng Mufeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Madam, did you know that there are cooks to prepare meals for us during the march? We won't starve."

Xia Xiaoxiao said confidently, "I know, this is not available on horseback, these are for snacks on horseback. These are specially made by me, and they don't get oily when you hold them in your hands."

"In that case, thank you very much, ma'am." After saying that, he took the bundle and handed it to the guard beside him.

She even stuffed a peace charm into Leng Mufeng's pocket and said delicately, "This is the peace charm I specially asked for you. You must return safely!"

"Okay! Wait for me to come back."

The time for farewell soon arrived, and Xia Xiaoxiao and other women watched the army go away! The difference was that others were crying, but she just held a handkerchief to pretend.

After returning to the mansion, she told her mother-in-law that the Marquis and his men had already left. She went back to the yard and had a good sleep. She was exhausted in the past few days.

The next day, when she was paying respects, Old Lady Leng told her that she should have been in charge of the household affairs, but she was afraid that she was too young to manage so many servants. She only told her to learn how to handle the household affairs by following her side first, and only when she was fully able to do it would she be given the responsibility.

Xia Xiaoxiao agreed. She wanted to take a rest for a while and take good care of her dowry. As for the household items, they would be hers sooner or later anyway, so she could still be lazy for a few days!

It was the same in the previous life. When the news of the Marquis’ disappearance came back, the old lady fell ill and was too tired to cope with it, so she handed over the household affairs to her!

Xia Xiaoxiao spent a week sorting out the things in her yard! Using her mental power, she knew who were the old lady's thorns, but she didn't care about them for the time being.
