On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

Xinfeng Teahouse.

The private room numbered "Tian" at the far end of the second floor.

Lin Yi leaned back in his armchair, holding a purple clay teacup in his hand, slowly skimming off the foam.

A gentle breeze is blowing in through the window, carrying the delicate fragrance of sandalwood that is refreshing and soothing.

But somehow, there's always a bad apple around to spoil your mood when things are going well.

Fatty Wang.

This guy sat opposite Lin Yi, his big fat butt making the chair creak, and he still had his legs crossed and swaying back and forth.

"Brother, what the hell are we doing coming to this dump? This stuff tastes like dishwater, it has no flavor at all. If you ask me, we'd be better off going to Yanlai Tower, getting a couple of jars of good wine, and hiring a few girls to sing some songs. That would be so much more enjoyable!"

Lu Dehao, who was standing to the side serving the bureau, curled his lip upon hearing this.

"Fatty, you don't understand, do you? This is called tea tasting, it's an elegant affair!"

"You son of a bitch, do you even have a place to talk here?"

Lu Dehao, unperturbed by the scolding, chuckled and said, "Hehehe, it's true what they say, a wild boar can't eat fine chaff. The pre-Qingming Longjing tea at Xinfeng Tea House is tribute-grade. Although it's not as good as the pre-Qingming Longjing tea, it still costs ten taels of silver per qian!"

Fatty Wang flew into a rage: "Get the hell out of here! Your whole family are wild boars! If you dare to spout any more sarcastic remarks, believe me, I'll slap your mother's face with my Five Poisons Slap!"

Lu Dehao pouted and looked at Lin Yi: "Big brother, look at Fatty, he's bullying people again."

Lin Yi ignored their bickering, took a sip of tea, and then put down his teacup.

Fatty Wang scratched his cheek, still very curious, and asked.

"Brother, seriously, what are we doing here? Instead of staying home with your wife and a warm bed, why are you here drinking this worthless tree leaf? Something must be up, right?"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but pointed to the wooden wall next door.

Fatty Wang looked in the direction he was pointing, paused for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"Oh—" Fatty Wang drawled, rubbing his hands together, "I get it! Brother, could it be that something's going on next door? Is some young wife cheating on her husband? Hahahaha."

"Holy crap, is this for real?" Lu Dehao perked up as soon as he heard this and quickly leaned over to press his ear against the wooden wall.

Not to be outdone, Fatty Wang stuck his big butt out to the wall and pressed his big head against it as well.

The private rooms in this teahouse are separated by wooden partitions, so the soundproofing is already poor. With Lin Yi and his group becoming quiet, the sounds from next door became even clearer.

"Your Highness, please have some tea."

A sweet, delicate female voice came from inside.

Wang Pangzi said in puzzlement, "Hiss...this noise sounds so familiar?"

Lu Dehao nodded as well.

"Yes, it looks like my sister-in-law."

"Which sister-in-law?"

"Big Brother's favorite, Luo Qingyu."

"What 'favorite' nonsense! My brother's in love with the princess now!"

"Hey, don't interrupt, keep listening."

The two brothers then pressed their ears against it again.

In the private room next door.

The eldest prince, Nangong Ao, dressed in casual clothes, sat in the main seat. He looked at Luo Qingyu sitting opposite him, and then at Luo Qingwan, who was trembling with her head down next to him. A greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

The Luo sisters truly lived up to their reputation; one was delicate and charming, while the other was innocent and naive.

If we could put these together on the bed, it would be an absolute heavenly experience.

"Qingyu, you took such a big risk to come out and see me today, have you finally come to your senses?" Nangong Ao picked up his teacup, his tone smug.

Luo Qingyu bit her lower lip, clearly disliking his gaze.

But she had no choice; in order to get rid of Lin Yi, she had to compromise.

"Your Highness, I am now at my wit's end. That beast Lin Yi has imprisoned me in the palace, torturing me every day, and even... harmed the Fourth Prince to such an extent. I beg Your Highness to do me justice! If you can kill Lin Yi and avenge me, I am willing to serve you like a slave!"

Nangong Ao had heard this kind of slang since he was a child.

You're still working like a beast of burden? Who needs a good-for-nothing like you?

He put down his teacup and sneered, "Heh. Look at what you're saying. You're the Regent's Consort now. If I help you, it's like openly going against Lin Yi. He controls the Divine Machine Battalion now. It's not a good deal for me to provoke him for a woman like you."

In fact, Nangong Ao also wanted to kill Lin Yi, but he didn't want to be the one to stick his neck out.

The reason I came to see Luo Qingyu today was purely to take advantage of her.

After all, Luo Qingyu used to be aloof and unapproachable, even refusing to look at him directly.

Now that they're in trouble, of course he'll want to kick them while they're down.

When Luo Qingyu saw that he refused, she immediately became anxious and pulled Luo Qingwan, who was next to her, over.

"Your Highness, look at my younger sister, Wan'er. She's just turned sixteen, and she's perfectly innocent. If you're willing to send troops to deal with Lin Yi, I'll have Wan'er serve you. From then on, Wan'er will be yours, and all the old Luo family members in court will be at your command!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingwan's face was already covered in tears.

She was forced to this point by Luo Qingyu and had no other choice.

However, Nangong Ao's eyes widened when he saw Luo Qingwan's figure as she moved.

I thought to myself, this little girl is something else, her chest is so full!

It's several sizes larger than Luo Qingyu's.

Coupled with that tear-streaked face and those exquisitely beautiful collarbones... oh my...

"Oh dear, Qingyu, what are you doing? You've scared Wan'er." Nangong Ao got up, walked to Luo Qingwan's side, and reached out to touch her face.

"No!" Luo Qingwan was so frightened that she stepped back and dodged his hand.

Nangong Ao wasn't angry. He rubbed his fingers together and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, little sister. I'm not a bad person. As long as you follow me obediently, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury. You could even become my concubine in the future."

In the private room next door.

Upon hearing this, the fat man was furious and cursed in a low voice.

"Damn it! Doesn't Nangong Ao have any shame? He even dares to covet my older brother's sister-in-law! Brother, can you tolerate this?"

Lu Dehao was also furious: "That's right, brother! Luo Qingyu is a complete scoundrel! She actually used her own sister to exchange for military power. If this gets out, where will you, the Regent, put your face?"

Lin Yi sat in the chair, playing with the tea set without even frowning.

Luo Qingyu is incredibly stupid. Does she really think Nangong Ao can deal with her?

"What's the rush? Let them chat a little longer. I want to hear what kind of nonsense Nangong Ao has to spout."

Fatty Wang was so anxious he kept scratching his head, but he could only patiently continue listening.

next door.

Seeing that Luo Qingwan was not speaking but just crying, Nangong Ao felt a surge of anger rising within him.

The most fun part is crying; it's no fun if you don't cry.

He turned to look at Luo Qingyu and said, "Qingyu, I have seen your sincerity, but... Wan'er alone is not enough."

Luo Qingyu was taken aback: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Nangong Ao walked up to Luo Qingyu and looked down at her.

"You just said that the old guard of the Luo family would obey my orders? Heh heh heh, Luo Hongtu has lost his family now and is hiding in the palace like a coward. How many of his old guard are still useful? When I want to deal with Lin Yi, I'm betting my life and fortune. Your bargaining chips are not enough."

"But these are all I have left..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nangong Ao suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Qingyu's chin, forcing her to raise her head.

"Don't you know what I want?"

"No..." Luo Qingyu saw through her thoughts and shook her head repeatedly.

My body belongs to Ah Jin, and it must never be defiled by anyone.

Seeing her shake her head, Nangong Ao said, "What? Lin Yi can sleep with me, but I can't? Since you're asking me for a favor, you'd better show some real skills. Neither of you sisters is leaving today. Serve me well, and I'll naturally consider dealing with Lin Yi."
