"Hey~ Ji Yingying, you're here..." A voice suddenly interrupted Ji Yingying's meal.
【Hmm?】 Ji Yingying looked up and saw a round face, and the face looked very familiar.
"Who are you……"
"Ji Yingying, I never expected that a country bumpkin like you would come to the capital. What, don't you remember me?"
Hearing that arrogant tone, Ji Yingying frowned and asked, "Are you Zhou Kai?"
"You still remember your brother?"
“I remember…” Ji Yingying glanced at him dismissively: [I said it was that male duck, so it's you, a landlubber who can't even swim. To think you were a duck is an understatement. You dare to make a move on me!]
[Host, Zhou Kai has some juicy gossip to share, are you in?]
Wait a minute, let me guess what's going on with Zhou Kai this time.
"Ji Yingying..." Zhou Kai was furious and shouted. Just as Eunuch Cao was about to reprimand her, the Emperor stopped him. Could Ji Yingying be bullied? Ha! She's a female tyrant. It's already a blessing if she doesn't bully others.
Besides, they're all here. If they're really being bullied, it's not too late to help them. We can't let it delay our enjoyment of the show.
I bet he got played, played by the man next to him, otherwise his face wouldn't be so sour.
[Wow, host, you're amazing! You've even found a logic in something as trivial as just watching a drama unfold.]
[Haha, no, that's not it! I'm the Queen of Melons! If I'm second, who dares to claim first? Come on, Xiangxiang, bring on the melon!]
[Tsk tsk~ So it turns out that after going to the capital to study, he was lonely and isolated, and since he couldn't go out to drink and visit brothels, he got together with his roommate. Little did he know, this roommate was attracted to men, and it was he who had been manipulating Zhou Kai. However, Zhou Kai wasn't stupid. His family couldn't give him much money, so he disgusted his roommate while taking his money.]
This classmate isn't short of money; his family is a notorious corrupt organization, so such low-class methods are nothing to him. Both of them are pretending not to know, ignoring it all. Since ancient times, the most righteous are often the lowly, while the most ruthless are often the learned.
[Anyway, me and him... wait, this bastard, he saw me today and actually wanted to marry me! He's insane, completely insane! Does he think he can even dream of marrying me? I hold an official position now, I'll kill him! Wait, he came to the capital to stay with his fiancée there, could he be up to something bad?]
Zhou Kai and his classmate's faces went from red to green and then back to red. Zhou Kai's classmate knew that a female official had come to the court, and a powerful one at that, who could hear their thoughts.
I never expected it to be her!
"This student greets Mr. Ji." The classmate immediately bowed respectfully, wanting to make a good impression first, no matter what.
Zhou Kai's face looked like he was constipated. He wanted to make a scene with her, but he didn't dare. He often saw the founding emperor because of Ji Yingying when he was a child, so he didn't dare!
[Oh wow~ Zhou Kai's fiancée is eating here today too. I wonder if she knows Zhou Kai caught a male merman, and if she'll be furious. I remember this fiancée is quite pitiful, having met such a heartless man like Zhou Kai.]
[Other wives support their husbands' education, while she, a fiancée, supported her fiancé's education. Then, because her fiancé became a high-ranking official, she was divorced and remarried. Not only was her prime years wasted by a scumbag, but she was also falsely accused of being unfaithful. If I were in that situation, could I tolerate it? No, no, no, I would make him see my great-grandmother, a living, breathing version of her.]
"Ji Yingying, you're a madwoman, a madwoman..." Zhou Kai cried and cursed, but dared not make a move. He was afraid. Every time he faced Ji Yingying, he lost. If it weren't for Ji Yingying, he wouldn't have left his hometown and come to the capital alone.
"Tsk~ You're still the same as when you were a kid, crying at the drop of a hat, all the time, with tears streaming down your face. Do you think you're trying to seduce men?"
Everyone burst into laughter. The next second, Zhou Kai was beaten up by a young girl.
[Wow, this fiancée has guts; she actually took action. But what does she know?]
“I didn’t believe it when people said you ate and slept with a man, but I’ve learned something new today. Zhou Kai, you wait. When I get back, I’ll tell my parents that I want to break off the engagement with you. I’d like to see who else, besides my family, would be willing to support your studies or take you in.”
The girl had a fiery temper; she cursed a few times, kicked a few times, spat a couple of times, and then left.
When I was a kid, I only thought Zhou Kai was useless, but now it seems that's come true. Even if someone like him could become an official, he wouldn't rise very high unless someone restrains him. Otherwise, he'd be a low-ranking official at best, like my dad. But my dad is a man of substance; I just don't know if Zhou Kai is.
【Well… Xiangxiang doesn’t know. Xiangxiang can only gossip that has happened and is within the next three years. As for anything else, we’ll have to wait for the host to level up!】 Xiangxiang rolled his eyes after saying that. This feeling… made Ji Yingying really want to scold him.
"I will not disturb Mr. Ji's meal any longer. I will take my leave." The classmate quickly left. His family was complicated, but he could not offend this young Master Ji. He had heard that offending her could result in the confiscation of one's property and beheading.
Those families who were beheaded earlier, I heard they all offended Lord Ji. It's terrifying. Let's leave.
Go!
Zhou Kai left after all his classmates left, since he didn't have money to eat there, and he also had to go back to appease his fiancée. Otherwise, what would he do if he was kicked out?
[Haha... Zhou Kai, that old bastard always comes to provoke me, and he always runs away with his tail between his legs. Isn't he just a jerk?]
[He's really despicable. Doesn't the host want to get involved in that classmate's gossip?]
[Next time, I ate too much today, I'm sleepy, I want to go back to sleep.] Feeling sleepy after eating and drinking too much is normal!
"Have you all eaten your fill, my esteemed ministers?" the Emperor asked. Everyone put down their chopsticks and replied, "Yes, we have!"
Ha! You're bothering me whether someone's eaten or not? You're such a dog.
Emperor: ...Didn't you say you were sleepy? Shouldn't you go back?
"Now that you're full, let's call it a day and go home."
As soon as she heard that she could leave, Ji Yingying was the first to run, ignoring even her father. She ran away as fast as a rocket, disappearing without a trace in a flash.
This made Ji Cailiang, who was sitting next to the Crown Prince, so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a room and a living room with his toenails.
"Hehe... Your Majesty, please forgive me, this humble woman..."
"Alright, let's go."
After everyone had left, Ji Yingying returned home. Once home, she sent someone to the restaurant to buy more pork meatballs, which she ate while reading her storybook!
…………
The next morning
Ji Yingying was unusually not woken up by Granny Xia, and slept until the afternoon. If she hadn't been hungry, she could have continued sleeping.
Ah~ I wish I could die in this bed forever. I don't want to get up.
After leaving the bedroom, Ji Yingying found that there were few people in the yard, so she had to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
[Xiangxiang, where are the people in our household?]
