Chapter 440: Losing Both Life and Money



[You shouldn’t bully your friend’s wife, and you shouldn’t do that to an adult...] Jiang Yueyang shook her head and sighed.

All the civil and military officials nodded secretly. They treated him as a friend and entrusted their wives who were not yet married to them to his care.

He, on the other hand, slept with the man's wife before she even married him, regardless of the relationship.

Even the best of friends wouldn’t share like this!

System: [Actually, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Master Xiang. ]

When these words were spoken, everyone raised their eyebrows. Is there a reversal?

Jiang Yueyang asked: [Isn't it that Lord Xiang took care of his friend's unmarried wife and put her in bed, but that his friend's unmarried wife climbed into Lord Xiang's bed? ]

Civil and Military Officials: ...They thought it was an accident. Lord Xiao Jiang's ideas are always dangerous.

So... is it bed climbing?

[No.] The system denied Jiang Yueyang's guess, [They had sex while conscious and willing.]

All the civil and military officials were sighing in their hearts, thinking that Lord Xiang is still a bastard!

Sir Xiang was extremely anxious and said, "Sir Xiaogua, could you please speak faster and stop keeping us in suspense?"

Jiang Yueyang lost his patience, [What is going on? ]

The system narrated the story slowly, “On their way to the Western Region to sell goods, Master Xiang and his group encountered a sandstorm, and all of them were buried.

One of the guys was still alive and came back to tell Lord Xiang that his friend had died.

His friend's wife, who had not yet married him, cried heartbrokenly and didn't know what to do.

He kept his promise to the adults. Seeing that the girl had nowhere to go, he told her that he would take good care of her on behalf of his friend. If she was willing, he could also marry her.

[So, Master Xiang is a man of loyalty and righteousness? ]

Hearing this, Lord Xiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a feeling of relief.

His character was saved.

[I guess so.] The system sighed, [But the bad thing is that the day after Xiang and the girl had already done it, his friend came back alive.]

Jiang Yueyang didn't know what to say for a moment, she just felt that Xiang's friend was so unlucky!

If he had come back a day earlier, his wife would still be his.

All the civil and military officials felt that Lord Xiang's friend was very unlucky. Not only did he almost return dead, but he also lost his wife.

It's really a loss of both money and life.

The system continued: [Mr. Xiang’s friend came back and saw that his wife had been slept with, and asked Mr. Xiang why he treated him like that?

I explained it to the adults like this: You asked me to take care of her as my own wife. After learning of your death, I followed my promise and took care of her as my wife.

After hearing his explanation, his friend asked angrily: I asked you to take care of her as if she were your mother, do you still want to recognize her as your mother?

Xiang nodded to him seriously, which almost made his friend vomit blood and die on the spot. 】

Everyone: ...Is Lord Xiang such a stubborn person?

Jiang Yueyang was speechless for a moment, then asked: [Little melon, if I let Master Xiang treat me as a goddess, will he worship me? ]

To the adults: "..."

Civil and military officials: "..."

system:"……"

Prince Yan, Duke of England and others couldn't help but burst out laughing. What's wrong with her head?

Do you want to be worshipped so much?

Emperor Yuan also shook his head and laughed. How could Jiang Yueyang ask such a funny question in such a serious manner?

The system said speechlessly: [If the host wants him to worship you like a goddess, he must agree to it. Although he values his promises, he does not make promises easily.]

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang showed regret, [Given the friendship between me and Lord Xiang, he probably won't agree.]

Emperor Yuan & all the civil and military officials: Do you really want to be worshipped?

The system sighed helplessly and continued: [Mr. Xiang’s friend could not accept the fact that Mr. Xiang slept with his wife, and was determined to take revenge on him.

So, a few days later, he came to see Mr. Xiang again, saying that he had thought it through and did not blame them, and brought a young man with him.

He told Xiang that the man was his savior, but he had no money now, and hoped that Xiang would take care of the man like a relative for a while, and take him back when he made money. Xiang saw that his friend did not blame him, so he agreed immediately.

[So...what is that man here for? ]

All the civil and military officials listened attentively, thinking in their hearts that since Lord Xiang is still alive and well, the man should not be here to harm anyone.

System: [Master Xiang's friend asked the man to steal property and beat Master Xiang. However, Master Xiang treated the man sincerely and made him feel at home.

In the end, the man did not steal the property, nor did he beat Xiang. He even swore brotherhood with Xiang, becoming half-brothers! 】

Jiang Yueyang was amused, [Hahahaha… Mr. Xiang’s friend is really going to be so angry that he’s going to vomit blood! ]

[Of course! When Xiang's friends saw how affectionate Xiang and the man were, they spat out blood on the spot.]

After hearing this, most of the people in the hall had an idea.

They want to be good friends with adults!

The one who had the strongest idea among them was Emperor Yuan. He wanted to be good friends with Lord Xiang, so that he wouldn't have to worry when he was short of money!

The Duke of Yingguo had a similar idea to Emperor Yuan. He wanted to hide his private money with Lord Xiang, which would definitely be foolproof!

Others thought that a friend like Xiang who would go through thick and thin for his friends would definitely be very useful at the critical moment.

The more friends like this the better!

Jiang Yueyang asked: [How is Xiang's friend now? ]

[With that man always protecting Master Xiang, he couldn't do anything, and he didn't have the guts to kill anyone, so he could only stop.]

Jiang Yueyang nodded and said nothing more.

Lord Xiang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. Today was definitely the most difficult morning court session he had ever had since he became an official.

But... he didn't expect his friend to do that to him.

But... I can understand it.

He should just pretend he knows nothing about this matter.

Not long after, the morning court ended.

After Emperor Yuan left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Duke Yingguo naturally came before Lord Xiang, and Duke Suguo also came with him.

Duke Ying looked at Duke Su suspiciously, "Duke Su, do our ideas coincide with each other?"

"It should be."

The Duke of England curled his lips into a smile, then turned his head to look at Lord Xiang, "Lord Xiang, may I have a word with you for a moment?"

Lord Xiang didn't know what they wanted to do, but as a subordinate, he nodded anyway.

Afterwards, Duke Yingguo and Duke Suguo led the adults away with a smile.

Jiang Yueyang had no idea what they were thinking, so she just stretched and left the palace.

On the other side, Emperor Yuan went to Ning'an Palace as soon as he finished his court session.

When he arrived at Ning'an Palace, Gu Ling'er had just finished taking the Queen's pulse.
