Chapter 347 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 31 (1/2)

With the protection of their big thigh Shi Sheng, the Jun Clan developed swiftly and completely eclipsed the imperial family in terms of influence.

But their big thigh…

Okay, to be honest, only one person had ever been allowed to hug it…

So they were all actually clinging to Sir Ling Yue’s big thigh…

Only if they pleased Sir Ling Yue would they get a chance to see the Prime Minister and convince her to act.

‘Never in all of history has anyone been spoiled this much!’

Shi Sheng ended up handing the reins of power to the other Jun Clan members. Her job was done anyways. Now, the fate of the Jun Clan would be in their own hands.

Shi Sheng brought Ling Yue and the two Yues with her to Mt. Wanyuan to stay. It was obvious that Ling Yue preferred to stay here rather than outside.

Shi Sheng naturally followed along with his preferences.

And besides, it was much easier to have Ling Yue to herself once they were away from the crowds, so she was satisfied.

The only thing was…Gu Su had nearly been chopped to death by Shi Sheng several times.

Had it not been for Dai Yue’s timely appearances, Gu Su would’ve died many times over.

After the nth time Gu Su was taken away by Dai Yue, Shi Sheng finally blew her top.

“I(lz) told you not to touch him! Can’t you understand me?” Shi Sheng wanted to smack Ling Yue to death right now.

The latter merely had an innocent expression on. “He’s my Junior Brother.”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘So what if he’s your Junior Brother? I’m your spouse dammit! Can your Junior Brother accompany you for life? Of course not! I’m(bbb) going to be angered to death…’

Shi Sheng left in a huff with a toss of her sleeve. ‘If you don’t cajole me(bbb), I’m not sleeping with you tonight!’

Ling Yue helplessly shook his head and chased after her, grabbing her hand. “Let’s go down the mountain to walk around.”

“For what? Not going!” Shi Sheng shook him off, a cold expression that practically spelled ‘I’m very angry right now! Nothing you say is of use!’ all over it.

The tips of Ling Yue’s ears flushed slightly as he gave her a slight peck on the lips. “How about now?”

“Not a chance.” ‘I’m(bbb) not that easy to bribe!’

Ling Yue kissed her again.

“I’ll consider it.”

More kisses.

“Not sincere enough.”

And on it went…

Only once Shi Sheng’s temper had subsided did she agree to go down the mountain.

The moment they heard that Shi Sheng wanted to leave the mountain, the two Yues and Gu Su looked at her with three pairs of teary eyes, expressing their wish to come along too.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘I don’t wanna bring these cockblockers!’

“Your Excellency…” ‘Let us go! Please let us go!’

“Hmph!” ‘I’m only going for Senior Brother!’

In the end, Shi Sheng still brought the three 2-kilowatt lightbulbs[1] with her down the mountain.

She hadn’t participated in government affairs for two years, but the moment she entered the city gates, she was swarmed by people.

“Isn’t this the Prime Minister? Have you come back to rebel?”

“How long has it been since the Prime Minister attended court…”

Ever since the capital had been besieged by the Protector General, the most common back and forth these people had was: Is the Prime Minister going to rebel today? Nope.

The only reason they dared to speak this way was because they knew the Prime Minister wouldn’t rebel.

If she wanted to rebel, she would have long done so.

Shi Sheng’s face was dark as she pulled Ling Yue away from the crowd, shaking off the three annoyances.

As Shi Sheng watched the surrounding crowd, she felt something was a bit strange. ‘Why is it so lively today?’

Shi Sheng shielded Ling Yue with her body so that he wouldn’t be bumped into by other people. Ling Yue had already grown used to Shi Sheng’s protectiveness, so he had no qualms about enjoying it.

The two strolled along the streets, stopping every once in a while to rest. They found a place to eat, and by the time they finished their meal, night had already fallen.

Only now did Shi Sheng realise why the atmosphere felt a bit off.

‘It’s the Double Seventh[2] Festival today!

No wonder I felt something strange… All those things the stalls were selling are related to the Double Seventh Festival.’

“Lil priest~” Shi Sheng called Ling Yue in a meaningful tone. ‘What’s his intention for dragging me out here today of all days, eh?’

Ling Yue glared at her.

‘Woah, now you even know how to glare at me! Your temper’s certainly gotten worse!’

The festival was very lively as pairs of young men and women met up to stroll through the streets together and light the occasional flower lantern[3]. The atmosphere was altogether very harmonious.

Ling Yue pulled Shi Sheng along as they followed the crowd. They soon reached their destination.
