Perhaps it was because she had just watched Ye Wuxia's performance, but now every smile and frown of his seemed to have a different meaning in Fang Ruotang's eyes.

"You...you're so sexy!"

Without thinking, Fang Ruotang blurted out what was on her mind.

After saying that, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and hurriedly explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant, it's just that..."

"Ah! Yes, it's when you talk to me like that that I feel all tingly inside, and all I want to do is kiss and hug you in the house."

Ye Wuxia deliberately seduced Fang Ruotang.

It would be strange if he wasn't a flirt.

Therefore, he didn't feel uncomfortable when Fang Ruotang spoke frankly, but seeing her flustered explanation and the unexpected gain, his handsome eyebrows even turned into a smile.

"I'm so happy to have won the favor of our Sixth Master!" Ye Wuxia wrapped his arms around Fang Ruotang's waist and kissed her lips intimately.

Grinding it again and again.

Until Fang Ruotang was no longer shy and angrily pushed him away.

That's enough for you.

Ye Wuxia chuckled softly, just like a fox.

"So don't be shy, and don't reject me. We are husband and wife, one, and will be the closest people in the world. We can do any intimate things we want to do. I belong to you, body and soul, every part of you."

"Okay!"

After Ye Wuxia's words, Fang Ruotang's shyness did improve, after all, she thought it made sense.

In the future, she will have six men. What kind of big scenes won't she encounter? If she is at a loss in such small scenes, how can she maintain her authority as a wife?

Fang Ruotang immediately straightened up.

He suppressed the shocking images he had just witnessed into the deepest recesses of his mind.

"Let's go to the front yard and take a look. Maybe many guests have already left. I wonder if Auntie has noticed that I'm not here, and whether she will send someone else in my place. I don't want to be impolite."

Fang Ruotang's rare sense of responsibility resurfaced when there was no male temptation, and the two hurriedly went to the front yard.

The front yard was bustling with activity.

"Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

Fang Ruotang patted her chest, afraid that something might go wrong and she wouldn't be able to explain it when her older sisters questioned her.

"Let's go outside and take a look."

Seeing that she wasn't needed in the courtyard, Fang Ruotang thought of the people at the gate.

The two did not leave the Prime Minister's residence, but instead hid behind the gate to observe. Fang Ruotang did not want to steal the spotlight today.

"This place seems pretty good too."

Fang Ruotang looked at the bright smiles on the faces of the people and smiled back.

Her smile widened even more when she saw that everyone would say a festive greeting towards the gate of the Prime Minister's residence before taking their seats.

“This is not the first time the Prime Minister’s residence has hosted such a grand banquet, and your aunt is from the Cui family. How could she not be able to handle such a situation?”

"Too!"

Fang Ruotang nodded.

The two watched for a while. Just as Fang Ruotang was about to return to her residence, her gaze suddenly stopped. She looked outside, then down at her own clothes, until she looked outside again.

"Why are they dressed so lightly? It's already the end of October, and hardly anyone is wearing a padded jacket?"

Fang Ruotang watched for a while and then noticed something was wrong. Perhaps it was because of the issue of temperature that had been discussed earlier, so she turned her attention to the people's clothing.

“For ordinary people, having a padded coat to get through the winter is a sign of a good life. I remember when I was little, my family only had one cotton-padded coat for the winter. If my dad wore it, my mom wouldn’t have one. When my mom was cooking, my dad would have to squeeze into the bed with us. My sister and I never wore padded coats in the winter.”

"Is that so?" Fang Ruotang was stunned.

She had no idea that ordinary people at the bottom of society lived such a hard life.

The idea that a single jacket could be shared by an entire family, and that whoever needed it could wear it out was simply a fantasy.

"It's true, my family's life only got better after I passed the imperial examination and became a scholar! And I was able to study entirely because of the clan school. Otherwise, with my family's conditions, we were always hungry and cold, so how would I have had the opportunity to study and learn to read?"

Ye Wuxia was not the first member of the Ye family to pass the exam. Before him, a high-ranking official had emerged. In return, he bought ancestral land and established a clan school.

“Even a worn-out cotton coat would be pawned by many families who were short of food in the spring, and then redeemed after the autumn harvest, and so on, over and over again.”

Ye Wuxia patiently explained the hardships of the people to Fang Ruotang. Fang Ruotang's smile gradually faded, and she looked thoughtful.

Little mirror, please help me one more time!

What do you want to do?

I know that people in the previous world were very wealthy. They had many old clothes they could no longer wear, and they didn't even have a place to throw them away. Could you help me get some?

[Ugh! I don't even want to deal with the Heavenly Dao of the previous world. It was incredibly cunning, and its fees were exorbitant.]

[Little Mirror is the best. I know you can do it. Go and negotiate with the Heavenly Dao over there. I'll have the Crown Prince prepare some silver to trade with their people.]

Silver might not work; they prefer gold.

"That works too, I have plenty of gold!"

Okay! I'll go tell them, wait for my reply.

Fang Ruotang turned her head and told Ye Wuxia about her conversation with Xiao Jingzi. Ye Wuxia looked at Fang Ruotang gently, said nothing, and just gently touched her head.

“I will go with you to see His Highness the Crown Prince. This gold comes from the national treasury, not from smuggling. The national treasury is currently very wealthy!”

"good!"

Fang Ruotang stopped a servant and told her to tell her family that she had to go to the palace. Then she secretly left the Prime Minister's residence with Ye Wuxia.

It's not good to do it openly and honestly; if the people see it, you won't be able to get away for a while.
