"It seems, and also, ah! I remember, pawning a wife! I heard pawning a wife."
Jiu Ye's hand stopped. This custom of pawning wives is only found in remote mountainous areas in the south. It is especially prevalent in the villages around Shangyang County in Pingxi Province, and the court has repeatedly banned it.
"Pawning wives is a bad custom in the south." Jiu Ye stopped caressing, hooked a finger around the string of Fu Tong'er's bellyband, and continued, "When you go there, let the locals tell you that the emperor has been seeking immortality and elixirs for years, and his control over the south has become increasingly lax. Now that I have returned to the court, I will be responsible for rectifying the administration, confiscating the treasury's silver and grain, and tidying up the local areas. Many things will fall on me."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at Fu Tong'er, who was crouching before him. Seeing her listening attentively with her big eyes, he softened his tone. "I just hope you understand."
As he spoke, he loosened the bellyband string with his fingers and spread his palms to caress her back. This time, the force was getting stronger and stronger, and the more he caressed, the more wanton he became, and the more he caressed, the more he knew no geographical restrictions...
Fu Tong'er frowned in dissatisfaction and glared at him fiercely: "Brother Lu Jin, please be gentle, okay? I didn't say I don't understand. Can you be gentle with me..."
"It's heavier, so Tong'er will feel better." Jiu Ye said, and flicked her bellyband string...
Fu Tong'er closed her eyes tightly in pain and cursed, "You old pervert... I thought you were so dignified and serious before, but once you sat in the carriage, you became as serious as a king on earth. Everyone seems to be afraid of you, but in fact, you are just an old pervert!"
Jiu Ye nodded thoughtfully, then said slowly, "So, it was from that time that you began to have feelings for me. Tong'er," the man wound the bellyband rope around and around, tightening it, "Are you lacking fatherly love?"
Fu Tong'er was startled and cursed: "Get out!"
Jiu Ye didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "If you say that the first time you fell in love with me was when you were young and admired me because I saved you, then three years later, you and I met again, I was over thirty and you were eighteen, and you fell in love with me at first sight... That's not a coincidence, is it?"
"What is it! Boring!"
Jiu Ye said gently, "It means that the girl likes men who are much older than her. Moreover, they are powerful men. Are your father and brother not good to you?"
He suddenly became interested in Fu Tong'er's growing environment.
"Get out! Get out! You're talking nonsense! It's complete nonsense! It's all messed up! It's all over the place! It's outrageous! You're talking nonsense!"
Jiu Ye continued, "You are a legitimate daughter of the Fu family, of noble status, yet you married the King of Hui. Your father and brother are important officials in the court of your Dian Kingdom. You said you mistook the King of Hui for me, but that's far-fetched. How could your father, as the Prime Minister, allow his own daughter to marry out of wedlock for love?"
Fu Tong'er pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't know if I lack fatherly love, but there is one thing I know very well. If you mention it again, you will definitely have to pack up and sleep at the gate of the palace after returning home!" As she spoke, she took Jiu Ye's hand out of her clothes, "Do you understand?!"
Jiu Ye smiled faintly: "How dare the little kitten threaten me."
"Where does Master Jiu want to sleep? Inside the mansion or at the gate?"
"You and I will eventually become husband and wife," said the Ninth Master. "Since we are husband and wife, can't we just chat? When I visit your motherland one day, I will have to face your problems, right?"
"Hmph~"
"If you are so fierce, I will take a concubine..."
"What!" Fu Tong'er pushed herself up, then lay down again, turning her back. "If Master Jiu finds a new love someday, divorce me first."
Jiu Ye said leisurely: "Just kidding..."
"If we divorce peacefully, we will never see each other again in this life."
