187 Fate is Laughing (1/2)

Are you perhaps lost? Suddenly thrown into the chaotic den of starved women? Looking for salvation?

Wanted! Stay-at-home job! Free accommodation and food, complete health insurance, along with a reliable boss!

Willing to carry the pot! Willing to shield and take responsibility! His name's very mighty! Son of the dragon!

In exchange, you need to sit there, be pretty, and act arrogantly at times.

Come, la. It's easy, la. Instant job! Stable with large income! Only for singles and old maids!

Here, sign your name here. It's everything about eating, sleeping, and sometimes letting your lonely clingy Boss have the talk about his ladies.

Oh, did I not tell you? It comes with a free 'husband'.

Free bed warmer!

….

Your mother!

Wei Yi Yi held her stomach as if experiencing a bloody battle with auntie.

It was scum! I couldn't believe that after all this time, I was not aware of what I was getting myself into!

”... Your Majesty?” Tang Mei, who was giving a timely report of their travel, trailed off.

Before her eyes, Wei Yi Yi noticed the pair of Jiang Cheng and his wife, Wen Yang, passing a bit of distance away in front of her carriage.

With his head slightly bowed, he kept reminding his wife on where to step. He showed great concern over the uneven path she was walking on.

Holding her skirt with one hand while the other firmly grasped by her husband, Wen Yang appeared to be scolding him for the excessive actions. In this, Jiang Cheng momentarily raised his head to softly smile.

This pair of imperial couple, one so arrogantly prideful and the other with earthly humbleness, were more harmonious together than what people were willing to acknowledge.

Even Wei Yi Yi cannot recall a sweet moment between Jiang Yu and his many wives comparable to them. Rather she was reminded of their subtle closeness and open personality with each other.

Blurred images emerged vaguely. Their quiet interactions were now ridden with impure meaning. The memories of those soft meaningless touches and bright smiles cause the already paling Wei Yi Yi to have goosebumps.

Once again, Wei Yi Yi, who lived by the virtue of brotherhood, misjudged the closeness she could take with someone.

The number of times she's been delighted with friendly banter only to realize it was laden with flirting by the other was both disappointing and agonizing.

”Aiya! Your majesty!” Tang Mei reacted just as strongly. ”Empress, please control your emotions. Many people are watching you and his majesty!”

No one knows if it was one of the intended results, but right now, everyone's attention is directed to them, watching with prying eyes the possible crumbling of their relationship. And with the way things are, the two of them cannot hide and can only be subjected to countless stares.

Even the empress's father, the prime minister, came and warned her not to show temper and lost their family's dignity. She could only do so behind her palace walls and he wouldn't care at that time. Regardless of her true relationship with the emperor, Wei Yi Yi must show they were fine.

Except, Wei Yi Yi who could care less, gives no fvks, and shuts the carriage, cutting off their gossiping.

She has a more important matter than keeping dignity. No, no. It's still dignity! Her tofu was being eaten without her awareness! She sold herself and even helped counting!

”Wuwuwu, Ah Mei,” Wei Yi Yi made crying sounds while hiding in her hands. ”Fly me back home.”

Wei Lian, who heard her fake cries, had his face darkened.

Thinking of the once obsessed sister of his toward the emperor, Wei Lian's brain turned and turned.

Should they break Jiang Yu's leg or should they? Tie him and toss him to Wei Yi Yi's bed?

Jiang Liu, after being acquainted with Wei Lian for a few days and labeling him as a greater schemer than Wei Yi Yi, shuddered at his contemplating stance. He hurriedly made the guards announce their presence just in time before Wei Lian concluded that only rebellion is the key to his sister's happy marriage.

”Big Sister, look at the big wolf I caught. I'll give this to you.” Jiang Liu bragged instantly.

Wei Yi Yi came face to face with an adult malamute. ”... that's a dog.”

Having energy drained out of her, and knowing that they are almost at home, Wei Yi Yi's willingness to behave slowly slips out of her.

Wei Lian also presented a bird to her, naming it a blue bird. Wei Yi Yi almost blurted out, 'No, shit.'
