Despite being relentlessly attacked by Wu Qingye, Shen Li and Yi Qianxiao, being well-traveled and experienced women, maintained a good attitude.

"Your Highness, instead of worrying about our affairs, you should take care of your own. While you're away, your concubines might cause some trouble."

"Also, Your Highness has taken so many concubines, yet you don't have a single child. Is Your Highness impotent?"

"Some illnesses are better treated as early as possible!"

Yi Qianxiao and Shen Li took turns pointing out Wu Qingye's sore spots.

Wu Qingye jumped up like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

"Nonsense! Who said I...I'm incapable! Utterly outrageous!" Wu Qingye's face turned black with anger. "How could you two young ladies speak so...vulgarly!"

Speaking of this, it's quite strange.

Wu Qingye married ten concubines, but none of them could conceive.

This also became a major worry for Wu Qingye.

After all, having offspring was a very important matter in the Great Jing Dynasty.

If no bloodline is ever born into the Zhou Prince's Mansion, then the lineage will die out!

In ordinary families, if a couple doesn't have children within three years of marriage, they will have to pay a huge fine.

Therefore, most people are eager to have children after getting married.

If you have a lot of children, you can get a reward.

After all, there weren't many extra entertainment options at night in this era.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, knowing nothing and just messing around in bed—this has become the norm in rural areas.

But how could Wu Qingye accept that two women, especially Yi Qianxiao and Shen Li, brought this up to his face?

After all, Wu Qingye had once pursued Shen Li, the Prince of Zhenbei, but was ruthlessly rejected by the latter, and eventually turned his love into hatred.

"How could it not work? If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try with me!"

Wu Qingye gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmph!" Shen Li sneered, "If Your Highness is interested, why not try it with the young lady Yuan Jin'er beside you? As for me! I'm afraid your little body can't handle it!"

His tone was full of disdain.

This infuriated Wu Qingye even more, while Yuan Jin'er, though furious to the point of nearly injuring herself, couldn't retaliate due to her status and could only swallow her anger.

Wu Qingye knew he couldn't win an argument with the two sharp-tongued women in front of him, so he simply kept quiet.

But I just can't swallow this insult anymore!

This isn't over yet!

Originally, Jia Daoshi had already prepared to give up after rejecting him, because such things cannot be forced.

After all, he was a master of the epigraphy school, and no one in the epigraphy school would be foolish enough to want to offend someone from the epigraphy school.

But now things have changed!

He can't swallow this breath!

He vowed to get rid of Jia Daoshi!

Turning his head to glance at Yuan Jin'er, a thought slowly rose in Wu Qingye's mind.

……

Seeing Wu Qingye and his group's exasperated expressions, Yi Qianxiao and Shen Li exchanged a smug look.

His expression carried a hint of smugness.

They seemed to be happy whenever they saw Wu Qingye get his comeuppance.

So, with smiles on their faces, the two women found Jia Daoshi, who was drinking tea in the living room.

"Brother Jia, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Shen Li!" Yi Qianxiao was in a good mood and introduced her with a smile as soon as she saw Jia Daoshi. "She is the Zhenbei Prince of our Great Jing Dynasty!"

The Prince of Zhenbei in the Great Jing Dynasty is actually a woman?

Moreover, this prince is truly handsome, with large, bright eyes that conceal a sharp edge.

Seeing Jia Daoshi looking at her, Shen Li nodded and smiled slightly.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Your Highness is elegant and dashing, and I have long admired you. Today, meeting you is a dream come true." Although Jia Daoshi was surprised, he still showered you with compliments.

"You know me?" Shen Li asked, somewhat surprised.

"The Prince of Dajing Town in the north, who in the Yanzhou area doesn't know him?" Jia Daoshi continued to flatter him.

After being told that, Shen Li felt a little embarrassed: "You flatter me, sir."

"Miss Yi, Prince Shen, Elder Pei, what brings you here today?" Jia Daoshi asked.

Yi Qianxiao smiled and said, "The New Year is almost here, so we came to see Mr. Jia to see if there's anything else he needs. By the way, were Zhou Wang's men just here?"

“Yes.” Jia Daoshi nodded, not hiding anything, “but this is the first time I’ve heard of such a prince.”

"Among the late emperor's nine sons, Prince Zhou was considered one of the more low-key ones." Yi Qianxiao nodded, thinking to herself, "He was also the most useless one." "So, what does Prince Zhou want with you?"

"He approached me, saying he wanted to cooperate with me and that he would offer me better terms," ​​Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

"So what did you say?" Yi Qianxiao asked almost instinctively.

This King Zhou was really forced into this situation, and he's already resorting to underhanded tactics so quickly!

If Jia Daoshi agrees, then all the work they've done before will have been in vain.

"Me? What do you think I should choose?" Jia Daoshi did not answer directly, but asked a question in return.

Yi Qianxiao smiled and said, "Personally, I think Mr. Jia will definitely choose to continue cooperating with us, right?"

Jia Daoshi nodded and smiled, "Yes, thank you for your trust, Miss Yi. I did not agree to their request, but this matter is actually quite strange. I have only been here for a few days, and I have never met this Prince Zhou before. How does he know so much about our affairs?"

Yi Qianxiao frowned and fell silent.

"It's obvious, Qianxiao, someone in your Xuanhua crew has been bribed by this kid," Shen Li said. "He usually seems like a good-for-nothing, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning!"

“Miss Yi, I chose to continue cooperating with you because I trust you and respect your position. However, I also hope that things like this will not happen again in the future. I prefer peace and quiet.”

Jia Daoshi didn't want people constantly coming to his door seeking cooperation in the future.

"Brother Jia! Don't worry! I will resolve this matter as soon as possible!"

Yi Qianxiao was silent for a moment, then patted his chest and said.

Pei Lu also spoke up, "Mr. Pei, I will give you an explanation as soon as possible, and this kind of thing will never happen again!"

"That's good." Jia Daoshi nodded.

Since they've already made that statement, he naturally has nothing more to say.

"Come, let's have some tea and chat."

Now that he's the owner here, he naturally has to be treated well.

"Prince Shen, do you enjoy tea?" Jia Daoshi asked Shen Li with a smile.
