Chapter 319 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 3 (2/2)

Jun Liyou had never said she liked Duan Qingyun. Everything she did, she did out of a sense of responsibility.

It was only because Jun Liyou held herself at fault for delaying Duan Qingyun for so many years that she felt responsible for him. That was it.

Jiang Zhi was rendered speechless. Upon thinking carefully, it seemed that Jun Liyou really had never said she liked Duan Qingyun. But from her actions before, didn’t she clearly like him?

By the time Jiang Zhi thought this, Shi Sheng had long left.

Jiang Zhi quietly muttered, “If you like him, then you like him. What’s there to hide? Ancients are so prissy.”

She had come from modern times where people were more open, so she felt an innate superiority to ancient people. As a result, she looked down on the way Shi Sheng covered things up.

That’s right. To Jiang Zhi, Shi Sheng was just hiding her feelings.

……

By the time Shi Sheng returned to her residence, the people bestowed by the Empress had already arrived.

As Dai Yue and Ying Yue stood in front of the brilliantly dressed and overly perfumed men, their expression seemed cut from the same cloth.

‘Has Her Excellency experienced something horrible that made her accept the Empress’ people?’

“The Empress wants me to keep at it for seven days a week with no rest ah.” Shi Sheng saw the seven men standing in a line from afar.

A strange thought popped up in Shi Sheng’s mind:

‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? The fuck…?’

“Your Excellency, you’re back!” Dai Yue and Ying Yue came forth to greet her.

The ‘seven dwarves’ all greeted her as well. “Greetings, Prime Minister.”

Shi Sheng shuddered. Honestly, she was unable to get used to seeing a group of such weak and delicate men.

Of course, she didn’t feel any revulsion. After all, every world had its own rules.

The Empress had really taken great pains for this… Each of the seven men had their own uniqueness.

There was a seductive one, a cute one, a mature one…

She could basically have her pick.

‘I(bbb) never thought there would be such a day…’

Their looks were also above average. No matter who you picked, if you placed them in a normal household, they would be greatly favoured.

“Eh…” Shi Sheng didn’t go over, instead casually reaching out to point at them. “You guys arrange for them to do something.”

The two Yues, “…” ‘What does that mean?’

Ying Yue was the more lively one of the two, so she asked what they were both thinking.

Shi Sheng waved. “Just don’t let me see them.”

Ying Yue, “…” ‘Then why bring them back in the first place?! Isn’t that just creating more work?!’

Shi Sheng was standing a fair distance away from the ‘seven dwarves’, so they didn’t hear her words.

When they saw Shi Sheng leaving with Dai Yue, the ‘seven dwarves’ felt anxious. “Miss Ying Yue, why has the Prime Minister left? Who does she want to serve her tonight?”

‘Serve her? In your dreams! Her Excellency has never been one to indulge in carnal pleasures—let alone the fact that you people are sent by the Empress!’

Of course, Ying Yue couldn’t tell them this. After all, they were sent by the Empress.

“Her Excellency has been feeling a bit under the weather lately and shouldn’t exert herself. Sirs, please follow me.”

“We can take care of the Prime Minister.” One of the young men spoke, unwilling to give up.

“Her Majesty sent us to take good care of the Prime Minister. This is within our duties. Miss Ying Yue, please help us put in a good word with Her Excellency…”

Ying Yue’s expression darkened. She really didn’t understand why her lady had brought these people back.

“Her Excellency needs to rest quietly for recuperation. Sirs, please do not go on. When she wishes to see you, she will naturally summon you.”
