The Wise Emperor was even angrier when he heard that the widow went to gambling houses every night with Duke Heng’s good-for-nothing son!

Eunuch Feng knelt beneath the emperor’s seat while shivering. He had already read the news that was sent back, and he wanted to kneel before the widow to worship her.

Just what sort of family could she have come from? What sort of parents could have brought up such an unconventional woman?

She was already very abnormal because she was rejected by her husband’s family.

Forget about the fact that she went to Xiang City because she was angry at his master, but she actually went behind his back to get to know Duke Heng’s son!

Even though the letter did not mention which of Duke Heng’s sons were involved, that was not the main point. She was already with his master, so she would belong to him from now on, both in life and death. She could not even talk to other men.

But what did she do?

She went to a gambling house! Even Eunuch Feng had not gone to those places many times, but this woman actually went there every night!

Those places were filled with men…

Eunuch Feng really wanted to search for a place to hide. He was worried that the widow would bring him to an early grave.

“Pack up. We’re leaving the palace,” Qin Heng said with a dark expression.

“Master, it is late…”

“Do I need to repeat myself?” Qin Heng asked with a dark expression.

Eunuch Feng would not dare to have the emperor repeat himself. Hence, even though it was not the seventh of the month yet, Qin Heng went to bid farewell to his father. When the former emperor saw how he behaved, he did not force the emperor to stay.

“Are you really not going to take two palace girls?”

“No.” Qin Heng shook his head. Then, he left the palace despite the late time.

The trip from the capital to Longan Temple took around a day. Then, another half a day was required to move from Longan Temple to Xiang City. However, the monk did not have any intention to stay at Longan Temple. He went straight to Xiang City.

When they reached Xiang City, it was dawn. The city gates were shut, but the city guards allowed the carriage to enter.

Eunuch Feng was absolutely exhausted, but he did not dare to complain even once. His master did not say that he was tired, so Eunuch Feng had no right to say that he was tired either.

Unfortunately, while their carriage was traveling down the road, they ran into another carriage. They originally did not pay attention to it, but laughter from that carriage soon reached their ears.

The monk was very familiar with the voice of the woman laughing.

Eunuch Feng saw his master’s face turn as dark as a thundercloud.

“Hurry up and overtake that carriage,” Eunuch Feng said to Yingda, who was wrapped up like a dumpling and only had a pair of eyes left to look at the road.

Yingda drove to overtake the other carriage.

Eunuch Feng explained to his master. “Master, let’s reach a restaurant so that we can clean up. Then, you can summon the widow.”

“Who will want to see that woman?!” the monk shouted in anger.

“Yes, of course. I deserve death for that.” Eunuch Feng put on a fearful look on his face while he thought, ‘Who’s the one who came to Xiang City without stopping to rest for even a moment?’

They reached the restaurant early and asked for a room. The monk cleaned himself up and shaved his beard before he said, “Has the widow’s maid fallen asleep?”

“I believe she has,” Eunuch Feng said softly.

After they settled down, the widow came back with Duke Heng’s son.

“Which room did she go to?” the monk asked.
