Si Jin discerned Wei Linyuan's inner thoughts. In fact, Wei Linyuan could roughly guess Ji Xuan's intentions later on, but...
For him, jealousy was indeed a very good excuse.
Si Jin lowered her eyes, lifted Wei Linyuan's chin with her right index finger, her eyes deep, and her tone threatening: "You dare!"
Unfortunately, the Nine Thousand Years Old was arrogant and conceited throughout his life, and what he feared least was bluffing threats.
… …
… …
The next day, at the beginning of the Yin hour, after taking a bath and returning to bed, Si Jin felt extremely sleepy and didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
Although he likes...
Even a venerable old man would still gently coax people, tenderly care for them, and sincerely admit his mistakes.
But because her back pain was so severe, Si Jin, unusually, got angry with her lover.
He sternly ordered the Ninth Prince to prepare breakfast. After the Ninth Prince had been served a proper meal, he stuffed him into the tunnel between the two mansions.
Then, close the exit on your side.
Bang--
The arrogant and powerful minister of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Ninth Prince, who was second only to the emperor, was suddenly locked in a tunnel by the angry young master.
It was pitch black all around, and the exit door was locked, no matter how hard you tried to push it open.
Wei Linyuan: (╥ω╥`)
"Jinjin, didn't you say you liked it?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me out~"
"Using something and then throwing it away is unethical QAQ"
Hearing the Ninth Prince's repeated apologies from inside the tunnel, Si Jin finally felt relieved.
He left with the words, "Think of a way to coax me before I get back, otherwise, don't come to the Mu residence tonight."
He then happily put on his cloak and left the bedchamber.
The Ninth Prince was left alone, pitifully returning to his residence through the underground passage. He sat in front of his desk, propped his head up with one hand, and racked his brains for a way to make his wife happy.
Kneeling on a washboard?
No, that's too old-fashioned.
Buying clothes and accessories?
No, Jinjin isn't a woman, so she probably wouldn't care about these things.
Send him a beautiful woman?
No way! Who would cheat on themselves?
Wei Linyuan couldn't think of a specific method and sighed all morning.
After lunch, he simply used the Eastern Depot to summon all the married court officials to Wei's residence.
The court officials had never been summoned privately by the Emperor, and they were all terrified.
The moment he stepped across the threshold of the Wei residence, his long robe was already soaked with cold sweat.
Unable to bear the torment of fear any longer, some people mustered their courage and slipped money to the guards of the Eastern Depot beside them, asking, "Eunuch, what is the purpose of His Majesty's summons?"
The guard took the money and whispered a reminder: "I don't know either, but the Ninth Prince wasn't very happy all day. He sat at his desk and sighed all morning. He didn't eat much for lunch either. Please be careful, sir."
Upon hearing this, the courtiers gasped sharply.
Oh no, I didn't even get a proper goodbye to my parents, wife, and children before I left home today. I'm afraid my life is in danger.
The officials were led to the main hall of Wei's residence, where they all stood in a bowing posture, trembling with fear as they waited for Wei Linyuan to speak.
Some were so frightened they almost cried, but finally Wei Linyuan opened his mouth and spoke.
"You are all married people. I called you here today to ask you something..."
Upon hearing this, the ministers' pupils widened, and their hearts leaped into their throats—oh no! They had to plead for mercy and make sure their families weren't implicated!
But then Wei Linyuan continued, "If you make your wife angry, how do you appease her?"
The ministers: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
