The entire afternoon was filled with excitement for Zhu Man. After numerous attempts and the stimulation of over ten different medications, Emil still failed to provide a definitive answer. However, he did mention the Long Family.
Late at night, Shi Shaowen was leaning drunkenly against the sofa, while Shen Jingyu kept his phone in hand, maintaining contact and communication with Su Xing at all times. At that moment, Su Xing was already preparing to sleep: "Take care of Shi Shaowen and then get some rest yourself!"
"Okay," Shen Jingyu replied.
"Shi Shaowen! Wake up!" came a commanding voice.
Before Shen Jingyu could finish his sentence, a woman's voice interrupted. It was someone Su Xing recognized.
Shen Jingyu looked up in surprise at Zhu Man, who had barged in alone. How did she manage to deceive the guards stationed at the heavily secured entrance of the private residence? This girl was truly formidable! Shi Shaowen would have a hard time dealing with her in the future!
Shi Shaowen frowned, not even blinking: "Bold! Disrespectful! A maid cannot enter the residence; get out!"
"Shi Shaowen! Open your eyes and see who I am!" Zhu Man retorted as she pinched his nose and pressed several acupressure points on him.
In just moments, after an entire night of drinking, Shi Shaowen felt himself becoming lightheaded and waking up!
Shen Jingyu couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to his wife through the camera: "This girl is really impressive! A divine skill bestowed by heaven! Unmatched and unbeatable!"
Shi Shaowen rubbed his temples, looking somewhat bewildered as he leaned down toward Zhu Man: "Zhu Man! How did you get here? Are you sober now?"
"Have you sobered up?!" Zhu Man's tone was sharp. "Did I ask you to come out to find Shen Jingyu just to drink with him?!"
What the hell! Do you think I need your orders? Do you really think you're the queen or something?!
Shi Shaowen cursed inwardly but didn't show any of it on the surface: He felt it was only natural to have a drink with his wife when he was in a bad mood and missing her.
Shen Jingyu silently rolled his eyes: "You're such a dog!"
Su Xing chimed in from the video call, stifling laughter as he momentarily forgot his fatigue.
Shen Jingyu glanced at the time, calculating the time difference; Su Xing needed to rest. He comforted Su Xing and forcefully ended the video call, promising to share more gossip later. Only then did Su Xing finally settle down to sleep peacefully.
Zhu Man sat on the single sofa, a bit huffy. "Pour me a glass!" she commanded, though it wasn't clear who she was addressing. In the end, Shi Shaowen silently took a cup and poured her a drink.
Zhu Man looked quite elegant as she savored the wine; truly, she had many facets to her personality, each one different from the other. At this point, even Shen Jingyu admitted that his noble status as a duke was indeed worthy of such company.
"Hua Guo Long Jia, have you already found out?" Zhu Man directed her words at Shen Jingyu.
Shi Shaowen sobered up quickly; Shen Jingyu had never been drunk in the first place. Thus, the three of them ended up having an impromptu internal meeting that night.
"Tomorrow in our country!" Shi Shaowen said. "You go to the palace and keep watch for me. Emil must not recover! Can you do that?"
Shi Shaowen replied, "What do I owe you?"
"Of course," he continued confidently. "With the king backing us, there's nothing my buddies can't handle!" He was quite aware of the situation.
Shen Jingyu couldn't help but chuckle at his contradictory demeanor, mentally giving his brother a once-over.
"I'm staying here tonight! Prepare a room for me!" Zhu Man rubbed her forehead. Although there was a villa for him at the palace, after staying in a humble hut for so long, he really wasn't used to it anymore. Having a few familiar faces around made him feel more at ease.
Shi Shaowen hissed slightly. "Your Highness, you really are quite demanding! No woman has ever stayed overnight in my house!"
At this hour, there were no maids available to serve; perhaps you should... leave? Shi Shaowen felt his tone was already polite enough, and his attitude was very clear!
Zhu Man gave him a deep look filled with interest. "How can there be no public space in the Consort's residence? Just prepare a set according to your standards; I don’t need anyone else attending to me. Please personally help me make the bed, but I want quality linens."
Shi Shaowen suddenly sat up straight, his handsome face now mere inches from Zhu Man's. It felt as if he were about to kiss her delicate face.
Shen Jingyu quietly stood up, casually taking a photo before leaving!
If anyone wondered why he took the photo, it was because not long ago, Shi Shaowen had also foolishly snapped pictures of him and Su Xing. Today, he wanted to stir up some excitement in their group chat!
Sure enough, in the dead of night, everyone was thrown into chaos! Nan Gong Ye even declared that he was preparing to switch positions to come and enjoy the spectacle up front. However, Shen Jingyu did not inform him that by tomorrow, the private estate would only have Shi Shaowen left; they were about to leave.
Nan Gong Ye rushed over with great enthusiasm, only to find himself empty-handed! But that was a story for later. At present, Shi Shaowen was already in a pitiful state after being tormented by Zhu Man. Never before had a girl dared to disregard his status and authority so brazenly.
Zhu Man's commanding presence was no different from that of a tyrant: "This bed sheet is not laid out properly! The corners are all uneven! And these slippers, are you sure you haven't worn them before? The towels need to be soaked in hot water; I want them warm. Fill the bathtub with water for me, and I also need some boiling water to prepare some medicine packs."
Ah! Ah! Ah! Shi Shaowen clenched his fists, the corners of the freshly fitted bed sheet crumpled in his grip. What sin had he committed? If being a duke meant enduring such treatment as Consort, he would rather be a commoner!
Zhu Man smiled faintly at the corner of her lips, having heard he was a rebellious man. Yet Zhu Man wanted to turn Big Wolf Dog into a little puppy. As for whether that would succeed? For now, she didn’t have a strong desire for it!
"Zhu Man! I’ve let you stay in this house. Don’t push your luck! Even if you kill me today, I won’t help you with this bathwater! Do as you please!"
"You can poison me!" After Shi Shaowen’s fierce outburst, he threw down his tools and quit. He tossed the blanket aside with force! The young master had never changed sheets for anyone in his life; what nerve did this person have to complain about everything after he had lowered himself?
"I’m not serving you anymore!" As Shi Shaowen left, he shot Zhu Man a fierce glare, striking a proud pose as he slammed the guest room door behind him.
Zhu Man stood there with her arms crossed, watching his retreating figure, a faint smile curling at her lips. Wasn’t he the man destined for her?!
Zhu Man’s victories relied on her cunning and beauty; clearly, that man’s victories depended on his pride! After Shi Shaowen exited, he turned and went into the next room with another loud bang of the door. He was genuinely furious and frustrated.
How dare that little brat torment him? He was clearly nine and a half years younger than him, just an outcast wandering around—what right did he have to put on such airs in front of him?! This wasn’t just about rank; it felt like a mountain pressing down on him!
