Su Qiuyu was sure she had rescued a menace. At home, he wreaked havoc on her; outside, he wreaked havoc on the entire Great Wei Kingdom.
Before the wedding
“Husband, now that you’ve recovered, why don’t you go home?”
“My dear, I’m still not fully recovered. My calf hurts.”
“Your calf hurts?”
“Mm. Don’t believe me? Feel for yourself.”
Su Qiuyu rolled her eyes. As if she were that stupid!
After the wedding
“Husband, now that I’ve brought you to the capital, I can go back home, right?”
“I forgot to tell you, my dear. A first-rank titled lady cannot leave the capital without an imperial decree. You’ll have to stay here.”
“What? First-rank?”
“Are you dissatisfied, my dear? Then I’ll work even harder to climb higher!”
Higher? Any higher and he’d be emperor! Good grief, she really had rescued a treacherous minister!
Every official in the Great Wei Kingdom knew that offending Lord Lu meant getting your head chopped off, but offending Madam Lu meant your whole family would be beheaded.
There was no problem that couldn’t be solved by currying favor with Madam Lu. And if there was, just curry favor with her one more time!
