DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER 17

Indignant, he returned to his room. However, he heard someone say that his mother was calling for him, so he went to her place with a frown.

Seeing that her son’s expression wasn’t right, she smiled, “Didn’t you go to  Bai’s place? Why are you back so quickly?” She didn’t object to her son going to her place anymore, but hadn’t he come back too quickly?

Jungkook was rather depressed about the whole course of events, but for some reason, he was struck by a need to defend her, “That place is rather cold and quiet, and she’s also sick.” What he meant was that since she was sick, he couldn’t possibly take her by force like he wanted to!

The old madame smiled a little and said nothing. She responded, “Cold and quiet? You’re defending her now, but did you know that it was by her wish that there are so few people at her place? Previously, she was the one who used the excuse of insanity to chase everyone away, it wasn’t my idea of harsh punishment.” He hadn’t even stayed a night at her place and was already speaking for her.

Luckily, this tea table was useful. It was a perfect match for the teaset that her son had given to her, or she wouldn’t be this calm right now.

Jungkook immediately said, “Mother, your actions are guided by nothing but reason.” He didn’t say anything more, as if nothing had happened. The old madame sighed in her heart. Her son had always been cautious since he was young, but ever since he had returned from the battlefield, she couldn’t guess what he was thinking. He’d just revealed a hint of his true emotions just now, only to be beaten back to his original form by her words. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have teased him.

Men in this world would already have three wives and four concubines at his age. For the sake of this family, he had gone into the army when he was ten or so. Although he had managed to bring back the title of the prince with his efforts, his proper business had been delayed. Right now, it was hard enough just getting him to touch a woman, even sending a woman to his room wouldn’t do the trick.

It wasn’t easy to get him to go to Miss Bai’s place twice, but he always came out with an unhappy expression. She didn’t know how Miss Bai had angered him but she would have to give her some pointers tomorrow.

Ladies did not understand how to serve a man, especially these virtuous concubines. They were only sent over by sedan and weren’t even taught how to please their lord by an older female servant. After deciding on her actions for the morrow and chatting with Jungkook for a while, she sent someone to accompany him back.

The old servant by her side smiled, “This servant sees that our Prince is upright, not like those loose gentlemen causing trouble all over the place.”

“It’s not good if he’s too upright. Even if he marries that Miss Tzuyu, with him acting like this, it’s going to be very long before I can hold my grandchildren.” The old madame was helpless.

The old servant said, “There are still four lovely ladies in this household. Even a piece of ice will melt in half a year, much less a hot-blooded young man like him. Look at this, hasn’t he been going to Mistress Lisa’s place the past few days? This servant sees the time of enlightenment drawing near. Once he’s been enlightened, your first grandson won’t be far off. If you’re too anxious, then put more beauties near his room, we’ll see how long he can last.”

However, the old madame understood her son well. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, “I understand my son, he’s too tense. It was fine when he was young and didn’t know much. However, now that he knows about things and is used to seeing those women on the battlefield, it’ll be difficult to get him to let down his guard.” Thinking about it, she sighed and said, “Go out there and find me some good teaching servants. Especially those who are good at teaching about the birds and the bees.”
