Chapter Thirteen: Returning Home

  When the morning sunlight shone into the house, Wang Yuze opened his eyes. In his arms was a soft body, with smooth and delicate skin as white as milk. Zhou Rui curled up in his arms, her eyes still teary, clearly showing that she had been deeply hurt last night.

  "Master, the old master is waiting for you to have breakfast. The first and second young mistresses are already up and waiting for you. Today, you also need to go back home with the first young mistress!" The little maid said outside the door. This maid was assigned to serve Zhou Wei, but her surname was unknown, only knowing that her name was Xiuer.

  "Hmm! I understand!" Wang Yuze said. Then, he turned his head to look at Zhou Rui who was sleeping in his arms, and felt a twinge of guilt in his heart. Last night, due to Zhou Rui's resistance, he had also become extremely crazy. As a result, he had caused great harm to Zhou Rui. After the fact, Wang Yuze thought that this was somewhat too excessive. However, men are more or less controlled by their lower body, and once they get excited, they can't help but forget about everything else.

  "Lazy pig, get up!" Wang Yuezhe shouted in Zhou Wei's ear.

  "Don't make a fuss, I'm still sleeping!" Zhou Wei muttered, turned over and continued to sleep. As she turned over, her smooth and white back was suddenly exposed in front of Wang Yuze's eyes. At the same time, Wang Yuze's lower body also touched her round and plump buttocks. Suddenly, Wang Yuze's lower body had a reaction. Originally, men are most passionate in the morning, how could he still bear the temptation at this time?

  Wang Yuezhe suddenly pounced on Zhou Rui's body, disregarding that she had just become a woman, and once again ravaged her.

  Zhou Rui finally came to her senses at this time, and her sleepiness had already disappeared. She kicked and punched Wang Yuze's movements, but this only added to Wang Yuze's fun.

  The morning exercise lasted for more than half an hour before it ended, and when the two got up, it was already 8:30. It's time for government departments and enterprises in western Sichuan to go to work.

  Wang Yuez brought his three wives to Wang Xiao's residence to pay their respects. After all, this was the first day that the three wives had married into the Wang family.

  When they arrived at Wang Xiao's restaurant, Wang Xiao was still waiting there. Only, he already had a document in his hand.

  "Father, I'm sorry, I got up late!" Wang Yuze said with his head down. The three madams also rushed forward to greet Wang Xiao. Even Zhou Rui, who had always been at odds with Wang Yuze, didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Wang Xiao.

  Wang Xiao glanced at Wang Yuze, then looked at Wang Yuze's three wives. As someone who had been through this before, he naturally knew that Wang Yuze had spent the night with all three of his wives. No wonder he got up so late.

  "It's okay, let's eat! Be more careful in the future, take care of your body, after all, there's still a long way to go! Come on, bring breakfast!" Wang Xiao said lightly.

  At that moment, Wang Yuze and his three wives couldn't help but blush with shame, and they all glared at Wang Yuze with discontent.

  The breakfast was very simple, with steamed buns, fried dough sticks, porridge, soy milk, milk and a small dish of pickled vegetables. This meal was undoubtedly a torture for Wang Yuze's three wives. Fortunately, Wang Xiao had a small appetite and soon finished eating. After he ate his fill, he left, as he still had many official and military duties to attend to.

  When leaving, Wang Xiao reminded Wang Yuezhe again: "Yuezhe, today is the day you and Menghan return home. After dinner, you and Menghan go see your father-in-law! Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, accompany Shilan and Zhou Rui back home!"

  "Yes, father, I understand!" Wang Yuze hastily replied.

  Soon after breakfast, Wang Yuezhe and Xiong Menghan packed up and left the Provincial Inspector's Office, taking a horse-drawn carriage to the home of Xiong Wu, Wang's father-in-law. Xiong Wu was also resting at home today, waiting for the arrival of Wang Yuezhe and his wife. Fortunately, the Provincial Inspector's Office and the Staff Headquarters' residential compound were not far apart, and the horse-drawn carriage arrived in just over ten minutes.

  "Old man, you said Meng Huan and the others haven't arrived yet! Could something have happened to them?" Mrs. Xiong, Meng Huan's mother, had been waiting anxiously in their small courtyard for a long time.

  "What's the big deal? What can happen?" Xiong Wu said nonchalantly. After Wang Yuze's incident last time, the Military Intelligence Bureau, Police Bureau and Ministry of Internal Affairs had carried out a thorough investigation in all three provinces of Western Sichuan, killing a large number of hidden enemies, greatly improving the overall safety of Western Sichuan.

  Mrs. Xiong was about to retort, but at this moment, Wang Yuzhang's carriage had arrived. She couldn't help arguing with Xiong Wu either, and immediately went forward to greet him.

  Wang Xiao got down from the horse carriage first, then helped Xiong Menghuan get down. Seeing Xiong Wu and Mrs. Xiong, he hastily paid his respects. "Greetings, father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

  "Uh-huh! Alright, alright. Let's go inside first!" Xiong Wu nodded his head. Mrs. Xiong and her daughter walked together, whispering something to each other.

  After entering the villa, Mrs. Xiong took Xiong Menghan to her room to whisper something. Obviously, she could see from her daughter's demeanor that her daughter had become a woman. However, there were still many things she needed to teach her daughter to ensure that her daughter would have an advantage in competing with the other two wives. This left only Xiong Wu and Wang Yuze in the living room.

  To be honest, facing Xiong Wu, Wang Yuze is under great pressure. Xiong Wu followed Wang Xiao to start a business and had been fighting for his whole life. In the Sichuan Western Army, he has the highest prestige except for Wang Xiao.

  "Yuan Ze, what's your take on the current situation?" Xiong Wu put down his teacup and asked suddenly.

  "Huh!" Wang Yuze did not expect Xiong Wu to ask this. However, he quickly calmed down. He knew that Xiong Wu was testing him. After all, as the chief of staff of the Chuanxi Army, even if they wanted to support Wang Yuze, Wang Yuze himself had to have some ability and not be a useless burden.

  "Father-in-law, although the current situation is stable on the surface, it's only superficial. From our perspective in Western Sichuan, despite rapid development and various industrial facilities being built, making our industrial strength increasingly powerful. Without a doubt, our strength has already surpassed that of the Qing court. It's just that, due to pressure from foreign powers, we temporarily cannot engage in an all-out war with the Qing court. However, internally, there are also huge hidden dangers. Father's health is getting worse and worse, if he were to pass away, those ambitious individuals would definitely jump out immediately!" Wang Yuezhe said.

  Xiong Wu nodded but didn't say anything.

  Wang Yuze continued: "From the outside, the Qing court has already become corrupt and decadent. Although it holds enormous wealth, its military equipment is in disrepair, which will inevitably lead to disaster. Especially with the Western powers and Japan, they will definitely take risks. It can be foreseen that within a few years, a great war between foreign countries and the Qing court will erupt. The Qing court will naturally be defeated without a doubt. However, for us, this is a great opportunity. When the Qing court loses the war, it will inevitably sell out to gain honor. This will definitely arouse public outrage. At that time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a final blow against the Qing court and seize national power."

  "But you also said before that the powerful countries will not watch us seize national power!" Xiong Wu said.

  "My father-in-law, the great powers are not a monolithic entity, each with their own interests and demands. They can be defeated one by one. Moreover, the core interests of the great powers lie in Europe, not here. As long as we make thorough preparations, we can unify the country before they intervene. It's hard to say whether they will be willing to cross half the globe and engage in an all-out war with us at that time." Wang Yuezhe said.

  "Hmm! That's good, was this taught by someone else or did you think of it yourself?" Xiong Wu nodded and asked with a smile.

  "My father-in-law is what I thought of myself!" Wang Yuezhe said humbly.

  "Hmm! You're able to think of these things, that's great. Don't worry, since you've already become my son-in-law, I'll do my best to help you!" Xiong Wu said with determination. Originally, he also thought Wang Yuze was not up to the task, but now it seems that Wang Yuze is not as bad as the rumors say! With this in mind, he made up his mind to fully support Wang Yuze's succession.
