Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 141 Xu Lin Deceives Liu Yi
"Exactly."

"You know me?"

Liu Yi frowned.

Xu Lin's demeanor was extraordinary; he was clearly no ordinary person.

"It's not just that I know him; I've long admired Sima Liu!"

"In the war against the Baiyue, Liu Sima made great contributions; who doesn't know that?"

Xu Lin feigned flattery.

For the sake of Liu Yi's wife, Madam Hu, he had to say these things against his conscience.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi, whose face was lewd, was overjoyed.

Xu Lin's words made him feel like he had known Xu Lin for a long time!
“No fight, no acquaintance.”

"Since Sima Liu wishes to hear Miss Nongyu play the zither, why don't we go together?"

Xu Lin suggested with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi rubbed his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Xu Lin spoke with a strong and clear voice, not like he was lying. If he really was the son of Lord Anle of Qin, befriending him would obviously be more beneficial than harmful!
The state of Han was the weakest of the six states in Shandong. It was only a matter of time before it was annexed by the state of Qin or Chu. As the Left Sima of Han, how could Liu Yi not think about a way out?
"it is good!"

With this in mind, Liu Yi readily agreed.

Then he and Xu Lin went into the room together.

"Purple Maiden, do not worry."

"With me here, he can't hurt Nongyu."

Seeing the worry in Zi Nu's eyes, Xu Lin lowered his voice to comfort her.

Zi Nu nodded.

Given the situation, did she have any other choice?

"Third brother."

"It's getting late, you should go back now."

While Liu Yi went to the restroom, Xu Lin looked at Yan Lingji, who was dressed as a man.

Although Yan Lingji was disguised as a man, she was still radiant. He was afraid that Liu Yi would have ulterior motives if he left Yan Lingji here!
When are you going back?

Yan Lingji suddenly stood up and asked seriously.

"Maybe in an hour, maybe tomorrow morning."

Xu Lin replied with a smile.

Then he sent Yan Lingji back home.

He sent Yan Lingji back for her own good.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let Yan Lingji come with him!

After Yan Lingji disappeared from sight, Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lin'er to bring over a jar of wine.

"Do not be nervous."

Seeing that Nongyu's breathing was getting faster, Xu Lin walked slowly to Nongyu's side and lowered his voice.

Then he sat back down opposite Liu Yi and personally poured Liu Yi a glass of wine.

To prevent Liu Yi from making unwanted advances towards Nongyu after drinking, Xu Lin sat between Nongyu and Liu Yi.

Sitting in Liu Yi's seat, let alone making any advances towards Nongyu, it was difficult to even see Nongyu because of Xu Lin's presence!

……

After a stick of incense.

Liu Yi was completely drunk.

Seeing this, Xu Lin winked at Nongyu, signaling that she could leave.

"Thank you, sir!"

Nongyu bowed deeply.

Then, carrying his instrument, he quickly left the place.

After Nongyu walked away, Xu Lin poured Liu Yi another cup of wine.

"Brother Liu."

"Wake up, keep drinking!"

Xu Lin said loudly.

After he finished speaking, he helped Liu Yi up.

"it is good!"

"We hit it off immediately! Let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Liu Yi said, hiccuping from the alcohol.

Then he took the wine glass and drank a large gulp of strong liquor.

Where is Nongyu?

Liu frowned and asked, noticing that the guqin and the person behind Xu Lin were gone.

He had long coveted Nongyu!

“Miss Nongyu is not feeling well, so I sent her back.”

"When it comes to dealing with women, haste makes waste."

Xu Lin explained calmly.

"Brother Xu, do you have many women in your household?"

Liu Yi, seeing Lin Cheng's confidence, asked.

He only makes unreasonable demands, because Lady Hu's younger sister is the King of Han's favorite concubine, so she has been feeling very aggrieved in recent years!
"Not a lot."

"There are fewer than ten."

Xu Lin lied.

It's not exactly a lie, there really were fewer than ten!

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi looked on with envy.

He also wanted his mansion to be filled with beautiful women!
"It's getting late, Brother Liu, when do you plan to go home?"

“I heard that Brother Liu got married a few years ago.”

"Could it be that your wife is not at home?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile. "Sigh!"

"Don't mention it!"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have married her in the first place!"

Liu Yi couldn't hide his regret.

He married Madam Hu because he was attracted to her beauty.

But who would have thought that right after he married Lady Hu, her sister became the favored concubine of Prince Han An.

"What do you mean by that, Brother Liu?"

"How can a true man be troubled by a woman?"

Xu Lin asked, feigning ignorance.

His concerned expression quickly got Liu Yi, who had been drinking quite a bit, talking non-stop.

“We have been married for several years, but to this day, we have only consummated our marriage a handful of times.”

Liu Yi complained.

"Oh?"

"How could this be?"

Xu Lin feigned curiosity.

"Could it be that your sister-in-law doesn't meet your standards, Brother Liu?"

Xu Lin suppressed a laugh and pressed for an answer.

"On the contrary!"

"My wife is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also has a refined and elegant temperament!"

"But she doesn't want to share a room with me. To be honest, I actually started sleeping in separate rooms from her two years ago!"

Liu Yi's face was full of pain.

He had wanted to say this to someone for a long time, but he couldn't find the right person to complain to.

Having drunk countless cups of wine today, and having enjoyed a pleasant chat with Xu Lin, Liu Yi couldn't help but confide all her pent-up frustrations to him.

"Don't want to?"

"Brother Liu, you've led troops for many years, and you can't even handle a woman?"

Xu Lin teased.

"Of course we can handle it!"

"But her sister is the king's favorite concubine."

"The fragrance of a woman's pillow is not to be underestimated, so how could I dare to force her to do something she doesn't want to do?"

Liu Yi explained.

"I see."

Xu Lin pretended to be enlightened.

Then he clinked glasses with Liu Yi to express his deep sympathy for Liu Yi's plight!

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Yi stood up, supporting her round belly.

He needed to use the restroom again.

"Brother Liu."

"From what you just said, it seems you really like your sister-in-law."

Xu Lin spoke up.

"That's natural!"

"If I didn't like her, would I marry her?"

Liu Yi replied without hesitation.

But he has neither completely won over Madam Hu's body nor her heart, which is why he came to Zilan Pavilion to drown his sorrows in wine!

"I have a plan that might help Brother Liu win over his sister-in-law's heart."

"It could even make your sister-in-law take the initiative."

Xu Lin smiled and said.

"Oh?"

"Speak quickly, what's your plan!"

"If you can really get my wife to take the initiative, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Liu Yihu's eyes lit up.

He looked forward to two things the most: first, to get Nongyu, and second, to have Madam Hu serve him voluntarily!

"Brother Liu, have you been treating your wife very well these past few years?"

"Even to obey without question?"

Xu Lin asked.

"She is my wife, isn't it only natural for me to treat her well?"

Liu Yi suppressed the urge to urinate and asked in return.

"Yes and no."

Not everyone will reciprocate a favor.

"Otherwise, Brother Liu wouldn't be here right now; he'd be enjoying a massage from his wife at home!"

Xu Lin smiled.

Liu Yi nodded in agreement and let Xu Lin continue.

"It's very difficult for a person to change their habits."

"For example, Brother Liu is used to coming to Zilan Pavilion every night for leisure. If he suddenly stops coming, he will feel uncomfortable."

"Similarly, my sister-in-law is used to Brother Liu being good to her, and she will feel uncomfortable once he stops being good to her."

Xu Lin said seriously.
