Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1594 - 1595: Whoever pays more gets more help

Ye Zhi was immediately angry again, pointing at Xiao Changyi, and shouted at An Jing, "Boss, look at brother-in-law, at this time he’s still showing off his love with you to spite me! If Gong Juechen can be half as good as brother-in-law, I’d be perfectly satisfied!"

Hearing Xiao Changyi unhappily say he wouldn’t go to a brothel, An Jing felt a wave of sweetness wash over her.

Ignoring Ye Zhi’s shout, An Jing gently comforted her husband with affection, "I was just giving an example."

But Xiao Changyi still wouldn’t relent: "You give examples with others, don’t use me. You know I wouldn’t go, so why say things to upset me?"

An Jing felt even sweeter.

Ye Zhi just felt she couldn’t stay any longer: "Enough of you two! I’m going to bed, I won’t bother with you! I obviously came for comfort, not to watch you flaunt your affection!"

Ye Zhi got up and walked outside to the courtyard she used to stay in, to sleep.

An Jing quickly asked two maidservants to follow with lanterns, lest Ye Zhi fall. Ye Zhi was also pregnant, and if she fell walking in the dark, it would be a big problem.

Not until seeing Ye Zhi disappear into the night did An Jing turn her head, with a playful smile, looking at Xiao Changyi: "Husband, you’re the best, you never make me angry."

"The day I can bear to."

An Jing felt as if she were soaked in honey, her eyes curving sweetly, and she asked, "So when will you be able to bear it?"

"Never able to bear it."

"Come, give me a kiss."

"Mm."

They really just shared a single kiss, then went back to their room to sleep.

As for Gong Juechen and Ye Zhi, they believed that when Gong Juechen returned home and found Ye Zhi wasn’t there, he would surely come to the mansion to look for Ye Zhi, and they didn’t need to worry about anything at all.

...

Nuan Huan Pavilion.

A certain room.

Gong Juechen, dressed in dark red clothes, sat in the main seat with an extremely devilish air. His peach blossom eyes half-closed, a corner of his mouth curled in a half-smile, which made the people in black present all feel hairs stand on end, not daring to look up at Gong Juechen.

All the people in black were kneeling on the ground, showing particular respect.

Even though this Building Master, Gong Juechen, made them fearful, the leading person in black still clasped his fists and spoke, "The Dongqing Kingdom wants to wage war against the Beihe Kingdom and incorporate Beihe into Dongqing. The Crown Prince of Dongqing, Dongfang Tianyang, contacted our building a couple of days ago, hoping we would lend him a hand then. He is willing to give us five cities."

Gong Juechen let out a light laugh immediately; "Have you forgotten our building’s ancestral rules—help the one who pays more?" He paused, "Our people are spread across all nations, why would we care for a mere five cities?"

The person in black immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Building Master, it was my oversight! I just thought such a big matter should at least be reported to you!"

"It is quite a big deal..." Gong Juechen leaned lazily on the chair, his legs crossed at the ankles high on the desk, as relaxed as could be.

Lightly brushing his bangs from his forehead, after a while, Gong Juechen spoke again: "What kind of person is Dongfang Tianyang?"

"He seems gentle and kind but is extremely ruthless and venomous."

"Interesting~" Gong Juechen chuckled, his long fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the chair, "Spread the word to let the Emperor of Beihe know about Dongqing’s plan to attack Beihe. See how the Emperor of Beihe responds. If the Emperor of Beihe also wants our help, then we’ll see who offers more money, Beihe or Dongqing. Help the one who offers more." He paused, "It cannot be less than nine million taels of gold. Less than that, let them fight it out themselves."

"Yes, Building Master!" The person in black immediately obeyed the order.
