Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

After sending Zhang Liu home, Zhang Jingwei went to Jiuer's house to check on Mu Tou. He walked in without closing the gate, and Jiuer was frightened as soon as she entered the house.

Jiu'er glared at the person at the door with her eyes wide open, and shouted, "Why didn't you knock before entering? Is this the etiquette taught to you by those sage books you read? It's really disrespectful!"

At this time, Mu Tou was lying on the bed. His originally dark face now looked like a red-hot charcoal, and Jiuer herself blushed for some reason, looking as delicate and tempting as a ripe apple.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingwei, who was standing at the door, kept saying "What a sin, what a sin..." and then turned around in panic and hurried out.

Only Jiuer and Mu Tou were left in the room looking at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Although it was just a simple feeding of medicine, it was already a very ambiguous thing for an old virgin like Mu Tou. At this time, Zhang Jingwei still had some insight and chose to avoid it.

Not long after, Jiuer walked out of the room briskly, holding an empty bowl in both hands.

Zhang Jingwei stepped forward and greeted her: "Miss Jiuer!"

Jiuer turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound, her eyes sharp as she said viciously, "If you dare to tell anyone what you saw today, I will never let you go and will kill you!"

Zhang Jingwei was so frightened that he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything! Um... can I go in and help keep an eye on the situation inside?"

Jiuer replied unhappily, "Whatever you say!" Then she turned around and left angrily.

When he entered the room again, Zhang Jingwei stared at Mu Tou with an auntie's smile on his face.

Mu Tou felt awkward when he saw his young master come in, so he quickly found a random topic to break the silence: "I heard someone outside say that Han Ye was executed yesterday. Our young master is getting rid of a pest for the people, he will definitely be rewarded by the government!"

Zhang Jingwei didn't respond to his question, but asked jokingly, "Well...how did you two get together?"

When Mu Tou heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he hesitantly explained, "Last night, she took the trouble to take care of me. I... I think... I was very touched at the time, but also felt uncomfortable. So... I thought, if possible... I want to marry her!"

Zhang Jingwei raised his eyebrows and said jokingly with a smile: "Then marry her, why are you hesitating? Do you want me to help you talk to her?" Then he made a gesture to walk out.

Seeing this, Mu Tou hurriedly reached out to grab Zhang Jingwei, begging, "No, no, no! Master... you know very well that I am just a slave of low status. I... I really am not worthy of her!"

Zhang Jingwei waved his hands and said, "That's easy. You are a slave under my household. I will help you escape!"

Mu Tou burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him, "Master...thank you so much!"

The wood could not move and could only lower its head to express its gratitude.

Zhang Jingwei's eyes sparkled with longing as he excitedly said, "Once you've fully recovered, I'll definitely buy you a spacious house! It's unbelievable that the housing prices here are so low! It's beyond my imagination!"

Mu Tou, who was standing by, heard this and quickly said, "Young Master... Young Madam came here yesterday and even took the initiative to pay for my medicine!"

Zhang Jingwei was slightly startled, then curiously asked, "Oh? Really? Did she say anything special to you?"

Mu Tou hesitated for a moment, then answered cautiously, "She...she said you were a playboy by nature, and she warned me not to follow your example!"

Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this, his laughter echoing throughout the room. "Hahahaha, actually, if you think about it carefully, she's not a bad person. It's just a pity. If it weren't for that time when she got drunk and called out 'Brother Qi', maybe I really would have lived a peaceful and happy life with her!"

Mu Tou quickly tried to console him, "Master, no matter what, she's now the Young Madam. Even if she had deep feelings for someone else in the past, that's all in the past!"

Zhang Jingwei waved his hand, signaling Mu Tou not to be nervous, and slowly said: "I know it very well in my heart. However, I think I should not delay her bright future. If she can follow that 'Brother Qi', she will most likely become a noble princess or even a queen in the future. And a wild child like me who lost both parents and is alone, has neither power nor support..." After speaking, Zhang Jingwei sighed deeply, with a trace of loneliness and helplessness on his face.

Mu Tou's eyes widened, and he asked in astonishment, "So, Master, you actually want to divorce your wife? This is truly unexpected!"

Zhang Jingwei nodded slightly, and replied solemnly: "Yes!"

When Mu Tou heard this, he immediately jumped up in panic and shouted, "Oh my! Young Master, you are so foolish! Think about it, you have been well-read since childhood and passed the imperial examination at a young age. How could such an intelligent person be so foolish about such a thing?"

Zhang Jingwei frowned slightly, looked at Mu Tou in confusion, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mu Tou took a deep breath, collected himself, and continued, "Master, if the Young Madam really only wanted to follow the Crown Prince, then why did she choose to marry you, whose family had already fallen on hard times? Furthermore, even though you entered the mansion as a son-in-law, no one in the mansion has ever treated you with the slightest disrespect...except, of course, that abominable butler who has long since passed away!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jingwei smiled bitterly, shook his head slowly and sighed, "I understand all of this, but in my opinion, whether it's mental or physical infidelity, it's ultimately an act of betrayal, and the nature is no different."

Mu Tou scratched his head and said in bewilderment, "Master, I really don't understand what you're saying. But in my opinion, no matter what happens, we always have to reason and present evidence, right? As the saying goes, 'Catch the thief with the stolen goods, and catch the adulterer with both'!"

Zhang Jingwei waved his hand helplessly, interrupting Mu Tou's words: "Alright, alright, stop arguing with me about this, just take good care of yourself. I'll come to visit you every day from now on, so just rest and recuperate!"

After saying that, he turned and left the room, leaving Mu Tou alone sitting on the bed.

In fact, he was struggling in his heart. He also wanted to pretend that this incident had not happened, but his ex-girlfriend had dealt him too much of a blow. He was really too sensitive to this kind of thing.
