Volume 10 Chapter 94 Guess Who - Wife Edition (Part 1)

Ah Neath granted Ma’am Ming and her sister-in-law an audience on account of maintaining a long-term alliance with Ming Feizhen.

Qiushui only left trivial jobs for Ah Neath because she didn’t want the latter learning about politics or finding out what was going on behind the scenes. As a girl, Ah Neath appreciated wedding customs; however, she also saw room for improving their marriage customs. While she was close to Qiushui back then, Ah Neath only saw Qiushui as a trustworthy ally. Seeing as she was doomed to never experience marriage for herself, Ah Neath decided to bless Baimu’s denizens. Subsequent to the changes Ah Neath implemented, girls had a lot less pressure, and the tradition of forcing daughters to marry as a business tool was abolished.

It might’ve been the norm for Ming Feizhen to be married at his age, but Ah Neath expected his wife to be some lady he kidnapped given his appearance and attitude. As such, she wanted to see who the two pitiable girls who had to put up with a stuck-up, gross, unbearably annoying glutton were. Never in her wildest imaginations did Ah Neath expect to see a goddess and a maiden who could conquer a battlefield whilst looking charming.

What lie did he tell to convince them to marry him?! I must rescue these two from that fiend. I will not stand for him taking advantage of them!

“You two are Jiang Zh-, sorry, who… is his wife?”

He definitely cheated her!

The other maiden expressed, “It is an honour to meet you, Your Majesty. We are grateful you have not punished us for our unannounced visit and request.”

How can she be so pretty, yet so easily win pity? If I were a man, I’d give her the world right now if she asked.

Ah Neath loved to hear the second maiden speak to her in Xiacang Anxi. “Don’t mind it. It’s not your fault. Besides, you two respect etiquette unlike her husband.”

If Ming Feizhen and Lian Zhuiyue deserved to be complimented for anything this time around, it was setting such a bad impression that they helped Ming Suwen and Shen Yiren look millions of times better.

“It must have been tiring and tough to request Xiuyu’s lord for help after coming from afar. Men, serve up the banquet.”

Xiacang Anxi people were arguably the authority on roasting food, which was why the servants brought in a wooden rack for the royal chef to prepare the banquet live. The chilled plates of fresh and juicy fruit recreated the ambience of the wild.

Ah Neath invited the two to drink, then queried, “May I ask what you wish to see me for?”

Shen Yiren thereupon inquired, “Feizh-”

Ming Suwen started coughing out of the blue, gaze pinned to the ceiling.

It finally occurred to Shen Yiren that Ming Suwen wasn’t the innocent, kind maiden she was thought to be after spending the last few days glued together. Shen Yiren first
