The imperial eunuch's surname was Jin.

After the farce in the courtroom of the Central Government Office ended, and Du Laihua was escorted back to the Marquis's Mansion by the garrison, Eunuch Jin summoned Zhao Cheng to the guest hall behind the courtroom.

"What is your surname, sir?"

"Your Excellency, my surname is Jin."

"Oh, Little Jinzi." Zhao Cheng sat down in the main seat of the guest room, crossed his legs, and asked, "What do you need me for?"

Hearing Zhao Cheng's tone and seeing his demeanor, Eunuch Jin felt an urge to vomit blood.

The rumors are true!

Chen Changshi didn't lie to me!

Zhao Cheng was a complete arrogant playboy, unlike the cautious and meticulous Right Chancellor.

Could it be that he really isn't the Right Chancellor's biological son?!

Despite thinking this to himself, Eunuch Jin smiled and said, "The palace sent me to ask a question."

"In the palace? Is it His Majesty or Eunuch Lü?"

"Why does the young prime minister need to ask so clearly..."

"That must be His Majesty!"

Eunuch Jin was speechless, thinking to himself that this young prime minister wasn't very smart either!

I already told you not to ask, wouldn't it be better to be vague?

"Go ahead and say it." Zhao Cheng tapped his shoulder, and Zhao Wu quickly went behind him to massage his shoulder.

"The palace told me to ask..."

Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "Massage cannot be done with brute force; it must be done with skill!"

"Yes!" Zhao Wu nodded immediately.

"Uh..." Eunuch Jin was speechless. He was interrupted while conveying the message from the palace.

Zhao Cheng is not only not very smart, but he's also incredibly reckless!

"Young Prime Minister, the palace wants me to..."

Zhao Cheng sighed, "I should have brought Dong Hua along! No! Even Xia Qi and Qiu Shu are better at it than you!"

Zhao Wu quickly apologized, "I'm clumsy!"

"Alright, alright, just make do with pressing it!"

As he spoke, Zhao Cheng looked at Eunuch Jin and said, "Little Jin, don't stop, keep talking."

Eunuch Jin curled his lip, suppressing his anger, and said, "Young Prime Minister, the palace sent me to ask you if you have seen your father!"

Fearing another interruption, Eunuch Jin subconsciously sped up his speech.

"My father?" Zhao Cheng turned to Zhao Wu and asked, "Is my father still alive?"

Zhao Wu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if he's alive or dead."

Eunuch Jin: "..."

Zhao Cheng spread his hands and said, "My father hasn't come back since he went out to hunt for night pills. I was even thinking of asking the palace for him!"

Although he knew it would be pointless to ask, Eunuch Jin still dutifully inquired, "Has the Right Chancellor contacted you?"

"What's the point of contacting him! That old bastard is definitely keeping a mistress on the side!"

Grandpa Jin asked doubtfully, "What's a mistress?"

"Neither a wife nor a concubine, but someone he can share a bed with!"

Zhao Cheng asked seriously, "Do you understand?"

"I understand..."

“Speaking of the Right Chancellor…Master, I’ve thought of a possibility.” Zhao Wu said suddenly, his hand on Zhao Cheng’s shoulder.

As everyone waited for him to continue, Zhao Wu glanced at Eunuch Jin.

Zhao Cheng said, "Xiao Jinzi is not an outsider, so just say whatever comes to mind."

Zhao Wu then said, "The Right Chancellor was very worried about the Second Young Master's illness before he went to war. Could it be that he went to see the Madam and the Second Young Master?"

Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Is our family really that loving and filial? Why don't you think he's going to find a mistress?"

"You know about the Right Chancellor's health, Master..."

Zhao Cheng was immediately taken aback, then quickly nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

"Cough cough!!!" Eunuch Jin couldn't stand it anymore; he felt like his ears had been filled with excrement.

Eunuch Jin quickly bowed slightly to Zhao Cheng and said, "I have already conveyed the message from the palace to the young prime minister. I will not linger any longer and must return to Changsui."

"No way, Little Jinzi, there are so many fun places in Qingdong City. You know Cuifang Tower, right? It's the best brothel in the thirteen cities of Jingdong. I'll treat you to some fun tonight!"

Grandpa Jin was completely distraught.

You're hiring a eunuch to go to a brothel?

Are you really that hospitable?

Thank you so much!!!

With a forced smile, Eunuch Jin said, "I am on official business, but I appreciate the young prime minister's kindness!"

"Don't be so polite, don't try to save me money!"

"No, no, there's nothing I can do!"

"Alright then, next time Father-in-law comes to Qingdong, or goes to Yanchuan, I'll definitely save a few of the best girls for you!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Jin was about to explode.

Young Prime Minister, are you out of your mind?!

We've already said we can't do anything about it, don't you understand?!

Jin Gonggong's face turned pale, and he fled while he could still control himself.

Zhao Wu walked to the door and, seeing that Eunuch Jin had gone far away, turned around and said, "Master, wasn't this a bit too much?"

"It's alright." Zhao Cheng dropped his nonchalant expression and said, "No matter how he reports today's events, his wording will definitely be exaggerated. And those who hear it will know that his report is exaggerated anyway. So, our exaggeration is actually insignificant."

“Master, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.” Zhao Wu suddenly became serious.

"Spit it out if you have something to say."

"Aren't you tired of trying to figure out what people are thinking all day long?"

"I'm exhausted," Zhao Cheng admitted frankly, "but what else can I do? I have to survive!"

Zhao Wu nodded; only he understood the poignant meaning behind Zhao Cheng's simple words.

At this moment, Xiao Luofeng, Huang Zhen, Yang Taozhi, Zhou Chuan, and others walked in.

Huang Zhen walked behind Xiao Luofeng and said before everyone had stopped, "I have something to say to the young prime minister. Apart from General Longxiang, please excuse us."
