Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Crossdressing as a Woman_1

...

Time flew by like a fleeting steed, and before they knew it, the hundred-day celebration for An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s four children was fast approaching.

And An Jing had completely recovered.

However, even though Doctor Jiang had said An Jing was in exceptionally good health, Xiao Changyi still insisted she continue her postpartum confinement for the full four months.

Since she had already been in confinement for over three months, another ten or twenty days didn’t make much of a difference. So, under Xiao Changyi’s firm insistence, An Jing sweetly and without any objections, continued her confinement.

The couple was as affectionate as newlyweds, and with their four adorable children, An Jing and Xiao Changyi were truly happy. The only thing that worried them was the health of their youngest son, An Yiyun.

It had been over two months since Meng Lanqing went to the South Shen area searching for Gong Juechen, and half a month ago, Meng Lanqing had sent a letter saying he had yet to find the Stubborn Doctor.

At that time, An Jing felt quite disheartened upon learning that Meng Lanqing had not found Gong Juechen, the elusive doctor, in his letter.

As a mother, An Jing truly wished to cure her son as soon as possible, so he would not have to suffer any longer.

Upon seeing An Jing’s low spirits then, Xiao Changyi spoke up. In front of her, he said casually to Meng Zhuqing, ”Let your brother disguise himself as a woman to compete for the title of Oiran at the most famous brothel in the South Shen area.”

Meng Zhuqing: ”...” My lord, are you sure you’re not trying to kill my brother?

As soon as she heard Xiao Changyi’s words, An Jing was initially stunned but then quickly grasped his intention and praised, ”My dear husband, you always have a plan. Gong Juechen likes to make friends with good-looking people, and he has visited all the attractive ones in the brothels of the South Shen area. Once he hears that there is someone even more beautiful, he will definitely go to see for himself. Instead of letting Meng Lanqing search everywhere, it’s better to make him come to Meng Lanqing.”

After hearing An Jing’s words, Meng Zhuqing finally understood the reason his lord wanted his brother to cross-dress, but still!

Suddenly, Meng Zhuqing knelt down and pleaded with his fists clasped, ”My lord, my elder brother detests being called handsome and has always considered his face an embarrassment. Asking him to dress up as a woman is even harder for him than asking him to take his own life!”

An Jing: ”...”

Xiao Changyi, unfazed, said, ”Tell him that if one day Gong Juechen proves to be of no help to my son, he can deal with Gong Juechen as he sees fit.”

To deal with Gong Juechen as his brother saw fit?

Considering his brother’s high proficiency in dealing with people, the fate that awaited Gong Juechen then...

Meng Zhuqing stayed silent for a moment and then reluctantly agreed, ”Yes.”

And so, Meng Zhuqing wrote a letter; then he sent someone to deliver the letter to his brother, Meng Lanqing, in Nan Shen.

After some thought, Meng Zhuqing took out two hundred taels in silver notes and instructed the messenger to take them to his brother Meng Lanqing as well.

One day, An Jing was sitting in front of the cradle, amusing her child. As she did so, she remembered the cross-dressing plan they had hatched for Meng Lanqing half a month ago and suddenly burst into laughter, ”My dear husband, do you think Meng Lanqing has become the Oiran by now?”

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

Seeing that Xiao Changyi didn’t respond, An Jing leaned toward him with a beaming smile. Resting on his shoulder, she uttered, ”He’s so handsome, he must have become the Oiran by now, and all that’s left is for Gong Juechen to fall into the trap.”

Xiao Changyi still didn’t say a word, nor did he look at An Jing, but he wrapped an arm around her waist.

Feeling the possessive hand on her waist, An Jing’s mood turned even jollier. She tilted her head back, smiling, and said, ”However handsome he might be, he cannot surpass you by the slightest margin.”

”Hm.”
