Chapter 118 Prime Minister Wang is seriously ill
If it weren't for the wrong time, the wrong place, and the wrong people around, Shen Zhiyi would have rushed in immediately.
[Are you out of your mind? My cheapskate brother pretends to be a poor, bookish guy for no reason. You're having fun, but what am I supposed to do?!]
Everyone was shocked.
The gatekeeper, who had reached out to push open the door, turned his hand and withdrew it.
Goodness, you can't open this door!
Don't even think about getting promoted if you open a position; you might even get demoted.
What to do, what to do?
How should I remind that older brother who took advantage of me?
The gatekeeper's eyes lit up, and he pounded on the door.
He chose a subtle approach.
"Woman, I know you're in the house, come out right now."
The city gatekeeper's wife, who was flirting with the poor scholar in the house, panicked.
No, how did her husband find out?
"You, quickly, quickly hide!"
The poor student opened his mouth to scream for help, but something he didn't know was forcibly stuffed into his mouth.
"Mmm, mmm mmm."
"Get inside right now."
Lady Lang of the city gate lifted the poor scholar's backside and kicked him into the wardrobe.
After tidying up, she pushed open the door and came out, looking at the city gatekeeper guiltily.
"Honey, how did you know I was here? Oh, I was planning to tell you this surprise tonight."
"Shut up! His Majesty is here! Kneel down immediately!"
"what?"
Only then did Madam Chengmenlang notice the group of people behind him who were eating pancakes at the same time.
These? Is there an emperor among them?
Who cares, I'll just kneel down first.
"Hurry up and get ready."
"I know, I know."
When the old emperor arrived, Lady Lang of the city gate was stunned and immediately began preparing for the evening's banquet.
Normally, the old emperor would have refused, but now...
I'll sneak out when I have a spare moment.
Later, Shen Zhiyi sneaked over under the pretext of "going to the bathroom".
She quickly found the wardrobe where her cheap brother had been stuffed through the surveillance video.
The two siblings opened the wardrobe door and looked at each other.
Tears of surprise welled up in the older brother's eyes.
"No no no."
—Hey girl, help me!
"How did you end up being... with Lady Lang of the City Gate?"
"No no no."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you still have something stuffed in your mouth."
Shen Zhiyi only then noticed what her brother-in-law was talking about.
"Hahahahaha."
[I'm so happy! It's a bellyband!]
Meanwhile, the old emperor and his entourage, who were drinking tea on the other side, silently looked at the city gate guard.
His expression was calm; he seemed to have become numb.
The old emperor and others, being men, felt deep pity for the city gate guards.
What's even funnier is that this bellyband was originally worn by the city gate guards, because it was so big that it was stuffed full of his cheap older brother's mouth.
My cheap brother, now free to speak, spat a few times.
"Why does this bellyband smell so strange? It doesn't smell good at all. That old woman can't be that slovenly, can she?"
Shen Zhiyi suppressed a laugh.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the way everyone looked at the city gatekeeper became strange.
Seriously, they've got some serious fun behind the scenes.
They withdrew their earlier affection.
The city gatekeeper's dark face turned red, a rare sight.
Madam Chengmenlang was restless. She whispered in Chengmenlang's ear, "Husband, have you done something wrong? If you have, you must tell me in advance so we can get the divorce papers done first."
The blush on the city gateman faded, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The old emperor and his colleagues suppressed their laughter.
It seems that the marriage of this city gatekeeper is like a thatched hut built on the edge of a cliff, which could collapse at any moment.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyi secretly sent her adopted brother home.
On the way, I asked the other person what had happened, but they refused to say anything even if it meant death.
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't. I'll just look it up myself."
Back at the banquet, Shen Zhiyi stood behind the old emperor, recording his words and actions while watching the surveillance footage.
[I'm laughing all the way to the bank! My cheapskate brother saw a really handsome outfit at the fabric store, the kind of clothes a typical scholar would wear. He bought it and tried it on, but because it was so dashing, the city gatekeeper's wife took a liking to it and, without a word, knocked him unconscious and took him away.]
The city gatekeeper's wife was beautiful and naturally strong, as her family used to be pig butchers.
[How did a pig butcher and this city gatekeeper get together? You know, the city gatekeeper's wife is a sucker for good looks; she's had several mistresses who are quite attractive.]
The city gatekeeper's eyes widened; there were actually several more.
He couldn't hold back any longer and pointed his finger at the other person.
"What did we say before we got married? You said you would absolutely..."
Lady Lang of the city gate grabbed the other person's hand and held it in her arms.
"Oh dear, there are outsiders here, why are you saying this?"
The city gatekeeper's dark face flushed red, and he said nothing.
The colleagues present closed their eyes; it was too unbearable to look at.
[I understand. The city gatekeeper is simply attracted to his wife's good looks and figure, and the city gatekeeper's wife is simply attracted to the city gatekeeper because he's naive and easily fooled.]
City Gatekeeper: Shen Zhiyi, you don't need to be so direct!
[The wife of the city gatekeeper is a role model for us all.]
[This gatekeeper has been trained very well.]
The city gatekeeper knew he was being fooled every time.
But so what? His wife is beautiful, it's perfectly normal for men to be interested in her.
It's perfectly normal for his wife to be amorous.
As long as his wife doesn't abandon him, that's enough.
You should know that whenever he needed to take his family out, even though he was just a lowly city gatekeeper, his wife made him very proud.
It's just being cuckolded, he'll tolerate it!
Anyway, he's the official wife.
Forget it.
The city gatekeeper's heart was filled with complex emotions, like a spilled palette of paint.
The city gatekeeper's patience was admirable to those around him, but he himself must never become that kind of person!
This gatekeeper is really interesting. Let me see if there are any others.
The city gatekeeper's composed face cracked.
Stop looking, there's really nothing left.
For as long as Shen Zhiyi searched, Chengmenlang was filled with anxiety.
after awhile.
Prime Minister Wang is seriously ill.
The old emperor paused, his mouth still from biting into the pancake.
[That's true, winters are tough at this age.]
Thinking of the kind Prime Minister Wang, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
[Judging from this, Prime Minister Wang might retire to his hometown after the New Year.]
The old emperor fell silent. Prime Minister Wang had mentioned to him many times that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown.
However, because there was something he hadn't figured out, he asked Prime Minister Wang to stay. But now...
As soon as Shen Zhiyi voiced her thoughts, many people quickly learned that Prime Minister Wang was seriously ill.
The imperial court suddenly became lively in the winter.
Or rather, Shen Zhiyi's courtyard has become lively.
Shen Zhiyi, who had just returned from her shift and was about to close the door, saw someone walking towards her in the darkness.
"Shen Lang, wait, wait, don't rush to close the door so early."
Shen Zhiyi had a blank expression, with an ominous premonition.
