Song Zhiyu was a bit absent-minded. The bandit leader had been gone for nearly a month and still hadn’t returned, not even a letter. What’s going on out there?
He just went to clear the snowy road. Shouldn’t be any trouble, right?
If there’s no trouble, then why is my left eyelid twitching so much? Is it a spasm?
"Song Si, what are you doing? You can’t finish a single round of drinks, are you saving it for breeding fish?" Liu Wu snickered, "Or is the drink not tasty without a beauty to accompany you? Xiao Taohong, aren’t you going over to keep your Lord Musband company?"
The performer, called Xiao Taohong, giggled and stood up, just about to sit down when Song Zhiyu waved her away, "Shoo, shoo."
Xiao Taohong looked woeful and called softly, "Lord Husband..."
Word had it that Commandery Princess Dongyang was away on official business, and since he’s tasted meat before, can he really endure being separated from his wife for so long?
Song Zhiyu glanced at her and said, "Don’t give me those eyes; you aren’t even as good-looking as me. I don’t fancy you!"
Just like that, her woefulness turned into tears brimming in her eyes.
Liu Wu felt an instant pang of sympathy, called her back, and told Song Zhiyu, "If you’re going to remain chaste, don’t attack her looks. Oh dear, my little darling, stop crying, I feel for you."
Song Zhiyu: "She’s not as good-looking as me, her skin’s not as fair, there’s a bump on her chin, and her makeup’s too thick, it’s flaking off!"
This guy is definitely a straight man!
Xiao Taohong let out a sob and ran out of the room in tears.
Song Zhiyu rolled his eyes, pretending, so fake, still not as good-looking as the bandit leader!
He still didn’t realize that his aesthetic preferences had unknowingly changed!
Bao Datong had just returned from relieving himself, and ran into Xiao Taohong, so he asked what happened.
"That guy made a perfectly fine person cry!" Liu Wu was also fuming, explained the story, and said, "Where can you find someone ? Doesn’t he know how to cherish beauty?"
Bao Datong laughed, "Liu Wu, you’re gutsy. It’s lucky he doesn’t know how to cherish beauty. If he did and accepted Xiao Taohong, your third leg might be in jeopardy."
Liu Wu let out a nervous laugh, "No, really?"
"Just try seeing if Commandery Princess Dongyang’s head turns as green as a grassland, see what happens?" Bao Datong sneered.
Liu Wu remembered the fierce Commandery Princess Dongyang, and if she were to act, oh dear, he instinctively clasped his legs together and said, "Quickly, get me a drink to calm my nerves."
Song Zhiyu couldn’t stand his pathetic look and said, "What’s the rush? I’m a free man; how I played before is how I play now. That Xiao Taohong earlier, not really that good-looking."
Come on, she at least won third place in the Flower Festival before. You used to praise her as a celestial beauty. Has marriage changed your taste?
"Forget it, from now on, when we drink, let’s just go to the tavern and not call any girls." Liu Wu sent all the girls away, "You all go too."
If Commandery Princess Dongyang ever checks on Song Zhiyu and finds out he had him come over for flower wine and let girls keep him company, that’d be life-threatening!
Song Zhiyu wanted to assert his marital authority, but the two present gave him a look of understanding, saying nothing.
"At home, she listens to me!" Song Zhiyu exclaimed indignantly.
Bao Datong patted his shoulder, "We know, no need to explain; explaining is concealing."
Liu Wu even chimed in, "That’s right, with the spring in your eyes just now, hey, you were thinking of the Commandery Princess, weren’t you? Even the drink lost flavor. I knew it, once you’ve tasted meat, you want more!" This update is available on NovelHub(.)net
Song Zhiyu tossed a fruit over.
Someone knocked on the door. The few exchanged glances, and the door was opened, revealing an unfamiliar guard who looked at Song Zhiyu and said, "My master invites Lord Husband to have a cup of wine!"
