The Jinyiwei of the Right Court were either extremely busy or extremely idle. Their main tasks were to protect the safety of the capital, solve some difficult cases or catch thieves, or inspect the palace examinations, etc. Although the Right Court had more things to do than the Left Court, they could still find time to relax.

"Have you heard from the Left Court recently that our Lord Deng is afraid of his wife?"

"Of course I heard about it. They said that our master has a very low status in the family. He trembles when he sees the lady. If he does something wrong, the lady will punish him by kneeling down and not give him food. At night, the lady has to tell him stories to coax him to sleep before he can fall asleep."

"Lord Deng is such a wise and powerful man, is he really afraid of his wife?"

"If it was before, I definitely wouldn't believe it, but now that I heard that this thing was said by that person, I think it's hard not to believe it."

"But how can a man be afraid of his wife? That's too cowardly."

When Deng Xingchao heard his men talking about him, his face turned darker than the bottom of a pot.

Originally he was very majestic in the Right Courtyard, and everyone was afraid of him when they saw him. But ever since word spread in the Left Courtyard that he was afraid of his wife, his subordinates dared to point fingers at him behind his back.

Just as Deng Xingchao was about to scold them, a curse suddenly rang in his ears.

【fart.】

The three centurions who were gossiping about Deng Xingchao were startled when they heard Mu Nanjin's voice and looked around quickly.

When he saw Deng Xingchao and Mu Nanjin walking along the corridor not far away, his face turned pale.

[You men have become less knowledgeable when your hair grows longer. Who says being afraid of your wife is a coward? ]

[Comrade Lao Deng is a fourth-rank pacification envoy who is close to a ninth-rank warrior. Only others are afraid of him. How could he really be afraid of his wife? ]

[His so-called fear of his wife is out of respect for his wife, because he knows that it is his wife who takes care of the family properly and never distracts him from worrying about anything. Only when the family is harmonious can he work with peace of mind and smoothly climb to the position of pacification envoy. Comrade Lao Deng knows how to be grateful, do you know? ]

[Look at yourselves again. You act like a grandson outside, but when you get home you act like a big boss in front of your wife. Do you think you are successful? You are really a coward if you can only act arrogantly in front of women. ]

These words were not only heard by the three centurions, but also heard by all the Jinyiwei above the sixth rank in the Right Court.

The faces of the three centurions turned pale and red, and they lowered their heads lower and lower, looking as if they were too ashamed to face anyone.

Deng Xingchao's mood instantly improved. With a broad smile, he took Mu Nanjin into his Room No. 1, Jiazi.

Mu Nanjin asked first, "I wonder why Lord Deng called me to the Right Courtyard."

Deng Xingchao's expression paused. He originally wanted to punish her for her "gossiping".

But her words just now made him very satisfied, so he decided to forgive her for the time being. However, he didn't know how to explain why he called her to the right courtyard.

"Sir, the envoys from the Kingdom of David and the Kingdom of Dachen are less than fifty miles away from the capital. Should we go to the city gate to welcome them?"

I was just thinking about how to explain it, and now the excuse is given to me.

Deng Xingchao nodded: "Well, you go down and make the arrangements, I'll be there soon."

"Yes." Lang Qianwei turned and left.

Deng Xingchao said to Mu Nanjin, "Come with me to welcome the envoy."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[Did Comrade Lao Deng forget that I am not from the Right Court?]

Deng Xingchao ignored her thoughts and walked out of the office.

In the left courtyard, Captain Liu was walking back and forth outside the secretarial office but he didn't see Mu Nanjin coming to resume his post.

"She's lazy after a long vacation? It's almost noon and she hasn't come to report yet. When she comes, she must be punished."

"Lord Liu."

Captain Liu's men hurried into the yard.

Captain Liu asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"Mu Nanjin has been taken by Lord Deng to greet the envoy."

At that moment, Captain Liu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"After staying at home for half a month, have you forgotten that you are from Zuoyuan?"

Captain Liu's men: "..."

Darlings, have you recommended your collection?
