Even Pei Zhi, who had experienced many trials and tribulations, had to sigh at this moment, saying that Shang Huai was truly an extraordinary person.

How could someone like Shang Huai exist in this world?

He actually ordered male prostitutes for the woman he liked?

Pei Zhi was a little resistant, "What are you doing?"

"If this gets out in broad daylight, how am I supposed to face anyone?"

Pei Zhi tried to remind Shang Huai, "I'm already married."

"I understand." Of course Shang Huai knew that Pei Zhi was married; he hadn't lost his memory.

"It must be because Lu Xiuyuan doesn't like you that you reconcile with Xiao Chengci."

Shang Huai said frankly, "Since Lu Xiuyuan is no good, then let another man serve you."

Pei Zhi smacked her lips, and well, she was starting to regret it.

If only she had known earlier that Shang Huai would be so perceptive.

She would never have faked her death back then; she would have overcome all obstacles to marry Shang Huai.

Such a considerate man, who is so good at looking for the cause within himself, is very hard to find.

She's clearly cut out to be the empress.

“It’s not that he can’t do it, and…” Pei Zhi was also quite curious.

How did Shang Huai find out about her affair with Xiao Chengci?

"Zhizhi, you don't need to explain anything to me." Shang Huai looked at Pei Zhi affectionately. "You just need to know that no matter what you do, I can always cover for you."

Pei Zhi: "Then killing someone is acceptable?"

Shang Huai quickly retorted, "Kill who? Your mother-in-law?"

Shang Huai made a move to get up, "I heard she wasn't very friendly to you before, I'll go and take care of her for you."

"Wait a minute." Pei Zhi quickly grabbed Shang Huai's hand. "I was just kidding."

“Really, there’s no need. She’s in poor health and won’t live much longer.” Pei Zhi added, “She’s an elder, after all. It’s not like we need to kill her.”

Moreover, now that Lu's mother is living in the house that Pei Minxue gave her, she acts like a mouse seeing a cat every time she sees Pei Zhi.

The servants attending to Lu's mother were all handpicked and sent by Pei Minxue; they were people who could keep Lu's mother in check.

Pei Zhi returned to the main topic: "Let's watch the performance first."

Pei Zhi also wanted to see what tricks these male prostitutes had up their sleeves.

It could make even the women in high-heeled houses bow down.

None of the male prostitutes had ever seen such a scene before.

They usually perform for women.

To their surprise, there was another man inside the house.

Although they felt strange inside, they still did their best in their performances.

Pei Zhi rested her chin on her hand, trying her best to appreciate the performance of these male prostitutes.

It's still a little short.

These male prostitutes were indeed all handsome, with rosy lips and white teeth.

For Pei Zhi, she was a bit too inexperienced.

But older women often prefer younger men.

They all look at you with their big, watery eyes, trying to please you.

Pei Zhi felt somewhat bored, but she did not disappoint Shang Huai's good intentions.

"You don't like this kind?" Shang Huai noticed the faint weariness on Pei Zhi's face.

Which one do you prefer?

"Someone like Xiao Chengci?"

Pei Zhi wanted to cover Shang Huai's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."

Shang Huai's expression seemed to say, "If you don't like him, why are you with him in the first place..."

"If you like someone like him, I'll help you find someone like him to serve you."

“There’s absolutely no need for that,” Pei Zhi said, refusing repeatedly in fright.

"I don't like him like that."

Shang Huai pressed further, "Then what kind of person do you like? I'll help you find one."

"Like Lu Xiuyuan, a frail scholar?"

Pei Zhi blurted out, "Someone like you is actually not bad either."

"Me?" Shang Huai looked down at himself, then simply started to unbuckle his belt.

Pei Zhi was immediately shocked. "Wait, what are you doing?"

Shang Huai said decisively, "Didn't you say you liked someone like me? I'll serve you."

There are outsiders here.

"Then I'll let them leave."

"Well, since we're already here, let them finish their performance and give them a little reward. They've had a tough time too."

At such a young age, having to serve others is no easy feat.

Although Shang Huai couldn't understand Pei Zhi's sudden act of kindness, he was still willing to listen to her.

Pei Zhi looked at the group of men in front of her with admiration in her eyes, striking poses.

The man with a mole between his eyebrows had a really good waist-swaying posture, and his eyes were also very sharp, constantly trying to hook Pei Zhi.

Unfortunately, Pei Zhi did not like men with such boyish figures.

To Pei Zhi, the only ones she could appreciate were the male prostitutes in front of her.

There was absolutely no urge in her to take off these people's clothes.

Shang Huai couldn't stand these things. The men Shang Huai came into contact with were all incredibly masculine.

It was through Pei Zhi that Shang Huai came into contact with the fact that there was such a group of men in the world.

Shang Huai drank silently, not daring to look up and admire the view, afraid he would throw up.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the servant came in and whispered a few words in Shang Huai's ear.

“I have a colleague from the Zhenbei Army in the restaurant. I’ll go over and say hello to him.”

Pei Zhi nodded, "Okay, go ahead and catch up. I'll go back by myself in a bit."

"No way." How could Shang Huai let Pei Zhi go back alone?

"You watch the performance first, I'll be back soon."

Pei Zhi nodded and told Shang Huai to hurry up.

If they were just ordinary colleagues, Shang Huai wouldn't have abandoned Pei Zhi and run away alone.

After Shang Huai was brought into the military camp, his father handed him over to General Wang.

Later, General Wang was wounded on the battlefield while protecting Shang Huai.

After that, he was no longer able to go to the battlefield and was sent back to the capital by his father, where he was given a position by General Wang to live out his retirement.

The servant whispered in Shang Huai's ear, "General Wang is selling his daughter in the restaurant."

Shang Huai then rushed over impatiently to see what was going on.

Shang Huai couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw General Wang; upon seeing him again, he almost didn't recognize him.

The once robust General Wang has now become a pot-bellied, unshaven middle-aged man.

Shang Huai wondered if he had mistaken someone for someone else. "General Wang?"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar address, General Wang turned to look at Shang Huai, "Young General?"

"It really is you."

Shang Huai glanced over and saw that General Wang was holding a woman in one hand and a little girl in the other.

Both the woman and the little girl were crying until their faces were red.

"Please arrange a private room." Shang Huai tossed a piece of silver to the servant.

The servant immediately nodded in agreement and led Shang Huai into a private room.

After serving tea and pastries, the servant left.

Shang Huai handed a piece of pastry to the little girl, who looked at her mother cautiously.

After seeing her mother nod, she thanked her quietly before accepting the gift.

"General Wang, it's been so many years. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

In Shang Huai's mind, a general would never do something as simple as selling his daughter.
