On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

"Huh? No... Big brother... you..." The fat man really thought Lin Yi had become a gentleman.

So you're worried that Fatty will take advantage of your maid?

The two servants released Xiuzhu and began moving the silver again.

One million taels of silver would require at least four or five hundred large boxes. Fortunately, the horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts we hired yesterday hadn't yet left the city, so we called them back today, and the drivers could help with the unloading.

Xiuzhu was so frightened that she stood still and dared not move. Lin Yi reached into her collar and pulled out two letters.

A rich aroma wafted over.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Young girls are so wonderful; even their sweat smells so good."

The two letters were addressed to Luo Hongtu and Nangong Jin.

I guess this silly girl wanted to save trouble, and since she was closer to the Luo residence, she came here first. As a result, she ran into him demanding repayment of her debts, and now she can't escape.

Lin Yi opened the letter. The contents were simple: accusations of his own atrocities, requests for his father to come up with a solution, and a curse wishing him a terrible death.

It's all just empty talk, not very nutritious.

The letter to Nangong Jin was different; it even opened Lin Yi's eyes.

"Ah Jin, Lin Yi is a devil. He kissed me, touched me, and slowly took over the body that was originally yours. I wanted to resist, but I couldn't. I didn't want to scream, but I couldn't help it. I love you so much, I really, really love you. But whenever I think about that bastard Lin Yi on me, I feel even more guilty. If it were possible, I really wish it were you..."

......

Good heavens, Lin Yi exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Luo Qingyu's writing is quite good.

The beginning was relatively serious, but later on, they stopped pretending and directly wrote down the details and postures.

Compared to erotic fiction, it's missing dozens of "ahs".

Hahaha, wait, sis, are you trying to drive Nangong Jin crazy? Or do you want Nangong Jin to hate me after seeing this letter?

What kind of approach?

Lin Yi had no doubt that Nangong Jin would have wild imaginations after seeing this letter, and might even masturbate.

No, I have to let my rival have a good look at this.

Lin Yi then stuffed the letter back into Xiuzhu's hand.

It's alright, she's my personal maid, touching her a couple of times is no big deal.

"Go and deliver the message."

"Ah? Your Highness... I..." Xiuzhu thought she was going to die, but unexpectedly Lin Yi asked her to continue delivering the letter.

"Just go when I tell you to, why are you making so many excuses?"

"Yes..." Xiuzhu wiped away her tears and ran quickly toward Luo Hongtu.

However, before Luo Hongtu could even open it, Li suddenly screamed.

"Ah!! Don't take it, this is my dowry!!" Two servants carried out a large sandalwood screen.

This screen is exceptionally large and exquisite; it must be worth at least several thousand taels of silver.

Ignoring everything else, Li immediately ran over to snatch it.

"Let go! You band of robbers! This is my dowry, not your bride price!"

"Madam Luo, please have some self-respect," the servant said with a businesslike expression.

"Self-respect my ass! This is Luo family property, what right do you have to take it away!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Please, please!" The fat man rushed over again, grabbed Li from behind, and pulled her away. "Auntie, calm down. We're all reasonable people. We'll take these ornaments home and enjoy them for a few days..."

"You lecherous scoundrel! Let me go!" Li, enraged at being taken advantage of, immediately berated her husband, "Old Luo! You good-for-nothing! I, Li Dongmei, was truly blind to have married you!"

"Your wife is being hugged by someone else, and you don't even dare to fart. Are you even a man?"

"I'm telling you! If this family ever becomes penniless, I'm divorcing you!"

The fat man advised, "Auntie, don't get excited. If you get excited, I'll get excited too. Just sit here calmly, and I promise I won't take advantage of you!"

"Bullshit! Get your dirty hands off me! Is that a place you can touch? I'm going to find Wang Tienan and ask him how he raised his son!"

"stop!"

A loud voice suddenly came from outside the hanging flower gate.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

An elderly man, dressed in a purple official robe, with white hair and beard but a vigorous spirit, strode in, surrounded by a group of officials.

The visitor was none other than the current Prime Minister, Liu Wentao.

This man was the head of the civil officials, with his students and former subordinates spread throughout the court and the country, wielding immense power in the government.

His appearance was like a savior to everyone in the Luo family.

Luo Hongtu scrambled over and grabbed Liu Wentao's leg, bursting into tears.

"Your Excellency! You must do justice for me! The Regent... he's lawless! He led his men to break into my residence, beat my family, and tried to rob my property!"

Liu Wentao frowned, glanced at the mess in the yard, and then at the calm and collected Lin Yi and Fatty Wang. He already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

He had originally planned to admire the bamboo with some of his students today, but he was stopped on the way by servants from the Luo family, who said that Luo Hongtu wanted to invite him over for tea.

He initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the servant stammering and sweating profusely, he realized that something must have happened at the Luo residence.

Luo Hongtu is now a favorite of the emperor, and it would certainly not hurt to lend a hand, so he brought a few of his students with him.

As soon as they entered, they saw the fat man's hand grabbing at Li's chest.

Is this still available?

He helped Luo Hongtu up and said in a deep voice, "Lord Luo, please calm down. With me here, I will definitely get justice for you."

Having said that, he turned to Lin Yi, his face darkening. Adopting the air of the head of all officials, he rebuked, "Regent! Although you are a prince, you are still a subject of the Great Zhou! To commit such banditry in broad daylight is utterly disgraceful! Tell your men to stop immediately!"

Lin Yi didn't even lift his eyelids.

The Prime Minister? So what if he's the Prime Minister?

I have military power; no matter how high your rank, you're just a clown jumping around.

Not only Lin Yi, but the retainers and guards also showed no sign of stopping. They continued to move things, and the screams of the women and the cries of the servants rose and fell.

Liu Wentao immediately lost face.

How could no one listen to him, the dignified prime minister?

"Lin Yi! Didn't you hear what I said?" Liu Wentao's voice rose a few decibels.

Lin Yi then slowly turned his head, looked at him, and said calmly, "Liu Wentao."

Liu Wentao was taken aback.

Should we address him by his given name?

Does this idiot not even understand basic manners?

"As the current prime minister, why do you not kneel before me, the king?"

"What?"

Liu Wentao was stunned.

The group of students behind him were also dumbfounded.

"Outrageous! Lord Liu is the current Prime Minister. Apart from when he met the Emperor, has he ever knelt before anyone else?"

"That's right, don't think you're just a young kid! Even if the old regent were alive, wielding immense power, he would still show Liu Xiang a great deal of respect!"

"You mere fool, you already showed disrespect by addressing Prime Minister Liu by his full name, now you'd better kneel down and apologize to him!"

Faced with the questions from several minor officials, Lin Yi didn't even glance at them, only staring at Liu Wentao.

"Your Highness," Liu Wentao said, his mustache bristling with anger, "I am the head of all officials. According to the rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I may bow before a prince, but I need not kneel!"

He tried to suppress Lin Yi using etiquette and law.

However, the latter just gave a cold laugh.

"The rites of the Great Zhou? Heh heh heh. Has Prime Minister Liu forgotten that I am not only the Regent, but also a hereditary Regent with no change in rank? The late Emperor bestowed upon me a gold plaque, granting me a three-rank higher status than any official I meet. Let alone a mere Prime Minister like you, even the Crown Prince would have to give me half a bow in person."

"I'm doing you a favor by ordering you to kneel. If you don't kneel..." Lin Yi's tone suddenly turned cold, "that would be disrespecting the late emperor and the law! Guards!"

One of his retainers immediately stepped forward and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"If the Prime Minister doesn't understand the rules, then you should teach him properly."
