"First, when your daughter-in-law goes out, you must follow her; when she gives orders, you must obey; when she says something wrong, you must blindly follow her. These are the so-called Three Obediences."
Lu Zhenzhi lowered his eyes and chuckled, "What are the Four Virtues?"
"Four virtues: wait for your wife to dress up, remember her birthday, endure her scolding and beatings, and be willing to spend money on her. These are the so-called four virtues."
Lu Zhenzhi mused: "Hmm. You don't want to break up again?"
"I, I, if Master Jiu can't do it, I'll find someone else! Anyway, I didn't marry you, so I can still run away. Hide somewhere you can't find me."
Lu Zhenzhi took Fu Tong'er in his arms and walked towards the gate of the temple's wing, saying, "This king holds a high position and has many things to attend to. Little Tong'er, be good and don't get angry. When this king is free, I will spend time with you."
After saying this, he raised his hand to open the door: "Whenever you want to see my mother, tell me. You, my little wife, must meet my mother."
After saying that, he opened the door, and the sunlight outside made Fu Tong'er unable to open her eyes.
She couldn't help but call out "Brother Lu Jin" and held Lu Zhenzhi's arm to block the light.
However, Fu Tong'er forgot that this man was not just his brother Lu Jin. Once he stepped out of this door, he became the regent, the Ninth Prince, who was feared by everyone in Dayan.
"Tong'er, walk carefully." Jiu Ye pulled out his arm and stroked Fu Tong'er's face.
The coolness of the warm jade ring made Fu Tong'er's hands stiffen.
The relationship between them has been hidden by Jiu Ye since they arrived in Shangyang County.
Fu Tong'er looked at Jiu Ye's tall silhouette, but in her heart she was thinking: Is their relationship so shameful?
Thinking of Cuiying, the girl rescued by Jiu Ye, Fu Tong'er still remembered that Jiu Ye had taken her out, openly and ostentatiously parading her around the city...but in this ancient temple, a quiet place, he didn't even let her touch his arm.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds." Fu Tong'er pushed Master Jiu and left.
Jiu Ye: Is she angry again?
Back to the corridor.
Looking around at the salt merchants who were drinking and having fun.
At this time, General Yi Huqi had already taken Fu Tong'er away.
Prince Hui recalled the soldier from before and thought he looked like Fu Tong'er. After Lu Zhenzhi sat down, Prince Hui leaned over and said, "Ninth Uncle."
Lu Zhenzhi stroked the jade ring and glanced at King Hui: "Hmm?"
"Do you think Fu Tong'er will sneak in disguised as a soldier?"
Jiu Ye glanced at him and said lightly: "She is eating wontons at the east entrance."
King Hui said, "But I saw the figure following the Ninth Prince just now, and it looked like her from behind."
Jiu Ye picked up the teacup, opened the lid and took a sip, then said calmly: "You're mistaken." After that, he winked at Deputy General Xiao.
Vice Admiral Xiao understood and, while grinding ink, said, "Master Jiu means that each of you should write down the amount you will donate and then place your handprint on it. Let's start from the first table."
Before leaving, Wei Shichang of the local government had someone list all the crimes of Li San, the bully whom Fu Tong'er had taught a lesson, written them down in a case book and handed it to Jiu Ye.
Jiu Ye brought it back to the mansion and sat in the study to read it. At that moment, a servant came to report: "Jiu Ye, the county magistrate Wei Shichang wants to see you."
Deputy General Xiao laughed and said, "Master Jiu was talking to him when he arrived."
Lu Zhenzhi put down the case he was holding and said, "I originally thought this Wei Shichang was also a greedy person who accepted bribes, but I didn't expect him to use all that money to help the victims." He turned to the guard and said, "Go and call that Lord Wei in."
"Yes, Master Jiu."
Wei Shichang stood at the gate of the Xingyuan Inn, pacing back and forth restlessly. He had seized seven million taels of silver from the home of that bully Li San, and if he misunderstood the Regent Prince Chun, who was also the most diligent of officials, not only would he lose his official hat, he might even lose his life.
Just as he was getting anxious, the door to the inn opened and the guard inside said, "Master Jiu wants you to come in."
In the study, Master Jiu asked Deputy General Xiao: "What time is it now?"
Deputy General Xiao replied: "Master Jiu, it's already three quarters past three in the afternoon."
"Is that girl back?"
