Jiang Si fiddled with her personal terminal, eagerly anticipating Chu Xi's silent video call and screen recording of Bo Jichen's handwritten copy of the Imperial Criminal Code. She casually replied to Agares, "No, my panda cub doesn't eat meat. I give him dried fruit, dried bamboo shoots, and dried meat. Do you eat those?"

"Your panda cub?" Agares tightened his grip on her clasped hands, his eyes turning cold as he looked down at her feet and onto the personal terminal on her wrist, where she was leisurely fiddling with it, oblivious to her surroundings.

While waiting for the dawn, Jiang Si went online and saw the lovely comments from many fellow star users. Her already happy face beamed with joy: "That's right, he said he would take care of me. Isn't he my little one? If he wasn't my little one, would he take care of me?"

Agares slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, her voice suddenly turning cold: "Is it because your husband doesn't give you money, or has he closed your joint account, that you need a beast to support you?"

The netizens in the interstellar era are so adorable. They keep leaving her messages offering to donate money and even work for her for free, just to follow her in farming.

How could there be such a lovely person? She was so embarrassed.

Jiang Si read through the comments one by one without even looking up, and replied: "My husband's money is different from Panda Cub's money. Although I don't really need Panda Cub to support me, what he said makes me happy and makes me feel good."

Looking back at ancient China, who could be so lucky as to have a panda cub to raise?

No.

panda.

A national treasure.

Everyone in China wants a big cat. If someone says they want to raise you, who wouldn't be excited and brag about it for a lifetime?

“Besides.” Jiang Si paused for a moment. A message flashed on her personal terminal. Bo Jichen had sent her a message. She unconsciously turned her body so that her back was to Agares. She opened the message and said, “My daddy Bo Jichen said that as an independent individual, you need to have your own career and earn a lot of money in order to occupy a dominant position in the family.”

"In order to gain a dominant position in the family, I decided to learn from him and build up my career while I was studying. By the time I graduated, I would have a successful career and plenty of money, and my position in the family would be absolutely unshakeable."

Huh!

Bo Gouzei's message read: "Daughter, take it easy. That wicked disciple can use His Majesty to pressure me and make me copy the criminal code. You're in the same room with him, so don't let your disguise be exposed without you even knowing it!"

Jiang Si tensed up after reading it, and then she remembered that her hand had accidentally touched her cheap husband's hand before, and her cheap husband was extremely disgusted.

Logically speaking, a husband who is not married should know that she is his wife and should not be so disgusted with her, pulling his hand away abruptly after touching her, as if she were a poisonous snake, a ferocious beast, or a plague.

So his extreme dislike was actually a way of avoiding suspicion, knowing that she wasn't his wife.

His upbringing and straight-male tendencies prevent him from interacting with any girls who are not related to him.

Jiang Si immediately relaxed her body and confidently replied to Bo Jichen: "Daddy, don't worry, just focus on copying your criminal law. Don't worry about me. Unless I actively reveal my identity, I guarantee my husband won't be able to find out!"

The message has just been sent.

Agares's cold voice came from behind her: "Is everything you're doing now something your teacher taught you? Is the purpose to demonstrate that you are an independent individual and to consolidate your dominant position in the family?"

Jiang Si rolled her eyes, casually exited the personal terminal, took out a box containing dried meat from the spatial button, turned around and handed it to Agares, her eyes smiling into crescent moons, and immediately started to flatter her father: "Of course, as children, it's always right to listen to our parents. After all, our parents have eaten more salt than I have rice, right, Your Highness?"

Agares's dark, unfathomable eyes stared into hers, his deep, husky voice questioning with suspicion: "Did he really teach you, or is it because your husband filed for divorce, which you refused, and you wanted to consolidate your dominance in the family, so you used your teacher as a shield?"

In that instant, Jiang Si thought that she was his wife's disguise had been exposed, and that he was forcing her to confess and turn herself in.

However, in an instant, Jiang Si steadied herself, seeing that Agares wouldn't take the box of dried meat from her hand.

She kept passing the box to him, her smile pure and innocent: "I'm so beautiful and cute, he would never divorce me now. If he mentions the word 'divorce' again, I'll run to your military camp and beat him to death. My marital status is only widowed, not divorced. Your Highness, midnight snack!"

Agares' eyelashes fluttered slightly, her eyelids drooped, and she looked away, concealing the dark undercurrent that suddenly surged within her eyes. She reached out her well-defined hand and took the box from the box in front of her: "Thank you!"

"Don't be shy, would you like some fruit tea?" Jiang Si covered herself up, feeling smug, her voice even lighter. She pulled out two kinds of tea from her spatial storage and offered them to Agares to choose from: "I also have honey lemon tea and fruit tea, which would you like?"

Agares's hand tightened slightly as he gripped the box of dried meat. Then, he lifted his lowered eyelids, the dark undercurrent in his eyes vanishing, replaced by a sharp gaze as he looked at Jiang Si: "Miss Jiang, allow me to remind you that under Imperial law, deception and fraud are both crimes. Once convicted, the penalty is imprisonment for more than 10 years and confiscation of all property."

Ginger shreds: "..."

Why bother with popularizing laws?

"Your Highness, how about you have some honey lemon tea to sweeten your palate?" Jiang Si placed the honey lemon tea on the armrest of his chair. "I haven't committed any fraud or deception. You're giving me a legal lesson. Or should I go ask my daddy..."

Jiang Si hadn't finished speaking.

Agares jumped up, not forgetting to pick up the honey lemon tea with ginger slices from the armrest of the chair: "You don't need to go, I'll go ask. I should really ask the teacher."
