"Fine, I just won’t ask my baby about you guys," Li Wuyu continued with a smile on her face, "Besides, aren’t you my master? If I wanted to know about you and Master Dad’s affairs, I could just ask you directly. But who would have thought that Master Dad was actually married into your family..."
Because she hadn’t thought of it, she had always assumed that Xiao Changyi was the one who had married her master into the family and had never asked.
At this point, Li Wuyu suddenly got excited: "Master, master, if Princess Linghe knew that Master Dad was married into your family, she would definitely be furious enough to cough up blood, haha—"
Upon hearing this, An Jing couldn’t help but laugh as well, showing no sympathy whatsoever: "It serves her right! With so many men in the world, she shouldn’t have coveted my husband."
"What master says is true," Li Wuyu was still overjoyed.
An Jing looked at Li Wuyu’s gleeful expression with profound meaning and teased: "It seems that Princess Linghe hasn’t given you an easy time, has she?"
"That’s for sure!" Li Wuyu huffed, "Those two-plus months I spent with her in Hecheng County were the biggest nightmare of my life! Not only was she delicate and pampered, but she also had a nasty tongue! She badmouthed every person she disliked to me all the way, and it was so annoying..."
An Jing expressed her sympathy: "Haha, it’s okay, I will help you take revenge. Don’t let out the news about your Master Dad being married into my family for now. Given her impulsive nature, she’s bound to take some action."
Li Wuyu at that moment was also full of mischief, chuckling: "Master, I’ve been thinking the same. If she doesn’t act, so be it, but if she does make a move, hehehe... she’s sure to be in an awkward position."
An Jing snorted softly: "She’s asking for it." She really felt no sympathy for her.
"I really hope that she makes as big a scene as possible," Li Wuyu laughed wickedly. The bigger the fuss, the more people who would know, and the greater the disgrace for Linghe.
An Jing laughed: "I never realized before how wicked you could be."
Li Wuyu flattered: "But I’m no match for you, master."
"Right, don’t try that tone with me, please," An Jing declined deftly, "Yesterday, the Crown Princess Consort came to see me. We didn’t talk long but, it was really tiring and so dull."
Li Wuyu said: "Master is a person of sentiment, and with Master Dad protecting you, you naturally don’t need to follow these empty formalities and can live freely; but it’s different for the Crown Princess Consort. Since the Empress passed away many years ago and the Emperor has no intention of taking another, the seat of the Imperial Consort remains vacant. The most honored woman in Xiyun Kingdom is now the Crown Princess Consort, and everyone is watching her closely. Her every word and deed must be exceedingly cautious; she can’t afford to make a single misstep, and dare not utter a word amiss."
An Jing laughed: "I’m surprised, you’re actually speaking up for the Crown Princess Consort."
Li Wuyu also laughed: "I’m just speaking objectively." She paused, "To tell you the truth, the Crown Princess Consort has been quite nice to me, but I know in my heart that her kindness is because my father is the Prime Minister."
An Jing nodded, then said: "In the future, don’t say such things to anyone else." She was really worried that her disciple might cause trouble with her words.
Li Wuyu smiled: "I know you’re looking out for me, Master. I only speak of such things to you; I would never dare to say them to anyone else." If she were to cause trouble, she could bear it alone, but she worried about dragging her father into it, and possibly even implicating the entire family.
The two of them chatted for a few more sentences, when they heard Prime Minister Li and Xiao Changyi speaking. Soon after, Prime Minister Li and Xiao Changyi came into their line of sight.
The moment Xiao Changyi saw An Jing, he didn’t care whether Prime Minister Li was still talking to him or not, and quickly walked over to An Jing’s side.
Prime Minister Li: "..."
