"Hehe, if youāre not afraid of having your claws chopped off, then go ahead and try it." Yang Chuxia gave him a sideways glance.
"Hehe," Ye Ziāan leaned in again and said, "Actually, compared to having my claws chopped off, I prefer having them tied up."
He remembered that time when he was drenched in wine, and his wife slowly sipped it up. That feeling was simply electrifying.
"Wife, I beg for bullying, for mistreatment, for kidnapping!"
"Haha..." Yang Chuxia laughed and patted him, "Youāre something else, you know that."
Yang Chuxia chuckled, shook her head, and walked out. Ye Ziāan quickly followed behind, "Wife, how about a night of passionate sparks?"
"In your dreams." Yang Chuxia playfully scolded him with a glance, "Youāre such a lecher, always thinking about those things."
"Every man would think about the pleasures of marriage," Ye Ziāan pouted and said, "Thereās nothing wrong with me. Not wanting it would be the real problem."
"You and your twisted logic." Yang Chuxia pinched his arm.
"Hehe, so itās settled, right?" Ye Ziāan grinned and hugged her.
"Get your arm off me," Yang Chuxia patted his arm, "Everyone in the house is watching, what does that look like."
"Who cares about them, are they going to gossip about us?" Ye Ziāan said indifferently, "If you canāt be at ease at home, then whatās the point?"
Listening to him, Yang Chuxia decided not to worry about it anymore.
She switched topics, "By the way, I bought a little manor in the countryside a while ago, with a mountain behind it and quite a few fruit trees in the manor. Some of the fruits are ripe this season. I was thinking of taking the kids to the manor to stay for a few days. Ever since last year to this year, itās been so chaotic, both in Shandong and in the Capital City, thereās been no peace at all. Since thereās no major event currently, letās go to the manor and relax for a few days."
She thought since Mu Shaoling hadnāt sent any news from the palace, that meant things were fine. It would take some time to detox the Emperor, so there probably wouldnāt be any major events happening soon. It was rare to have a break, so why not go out and enjoy it?
"Sure, letās go," Ye Ziāan nodded and then said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Mingsha has been promoted to Concubine of High Rank."
"What? No way?"
Mu Shaoling had passed the Emperorās test, and even convinced him, which was good. But hearing sheās been promoted to Concubine of High Rank sounded a bit strange.
Yang Chuxia felt a bit chilly, already imagining how Mu Shaoling would confront her later.
"I think once this is over, we should hurry back to Funan to hide for a while. Otherwise, be prepared for him to hunt us down."
"Haha, donāt exaggerate," Ye Ziāan laughed, "By the way, if weāre going to the manor, have someone ask over in Dongyang if theyāre coming. You should visit there regularly to avoid raising suspicions."
Yang Chuxia knew he meant Prince Le. "I know, Iāll have someone ask right away!"
At noon, the whole family gathered around a big table without being divided into separate groups.
"What did Heir Tong say?" Old Mu asked.
Mentioning this person, Ye Ziāan shook his head helplessly, "Uncle, this person is really something. He came to demand that I go to the government office to get his mother out and ask me to say it was all nonsense, that his mother never attempted assassination."
"Ahem..."
Old Mu almost choked on his words, but as he thought about it, this was indeed something that person would do.
