The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Sikong Jin kicked the door open and rushed in, with Ji Wuge following closely behind, then turned and closed the door.

"Hurry up and make some tea, the most expensive kind. He just received some top-quality raw Pu'er tea that General Xu brought back from the Great Wilderness. Let me see if there's anything else good to eat in the cupboard!"

As soon as Sikong Jin rushed in, she went straight to the cabinet on the right, saying to Ji Wuge behind her.

Before long, a large number of treasures in Tang Jingyao's cabinet were found. They were all expensive local delicacies or precious medicinal materials, such as thousand-year-old ginseng and snow lotus.

Ji Wuge brought over two steaming cups of fragrant tea. Sikong Jin had already torn open the packaging, grabbed a piece of crispy cake and put it in her mouth, mumbling, "Departments like the Judicial Bureau are really lucrative. These good things can only be found here with Tang Jingyao."

"Of course! We officers serving in the field work ourselves to the bone to plunder the land, and we still have to give them a share. Otherwise, he would have a reason to deal with you. He gets the benefits without lifting a finger, and he's the one who's luckiest!"

Ji Wuge thought about it and felt a little envious of Tang Jingyao. "But he seemed to want to borrow money from me a few days ago."

"Borrow money? Impossible! What time is it now? How could he possibly be poor? Who knows how many good things he'll plunder this time! But it seems like all his possessions are under Zixi's control. What a henpecked husband!"

Sikong Jin raised her head and looked at Ji Wuge with surprise, while secretly stuffing a snow lotus into her sleeve.

"That's right. I never thought Tang Jingyao would end up like this, completely dominated by a woman. Ah Jin, you can't be like him in the future, so spineless..."

Ji Wuge secretly slipped the thousand-year-old ginseng into his sleeve, his eyes fixed on Sikong Jin. The two exchanged a smile, then continued drinking tea, eating delicious snacks, and chatting casually as if nothing had happened.

After finishing a cup of tea, Tang Jingyao rushed in from outside. Upon seeing Ji Wuge and Sikong Jin sitting by the couch, chatting and laughing, his gentle and refined face immediately darkened, his brows furrowed, and he strode over. He first opened the cabinet, and sure enough, the contents inside had been ransacked.

"What did you take from me this time? Hand it over right now!"

Tang Jingyao stared at the two of them and said in a deep voice.

Sikong Jin shrugged and gave Ji Wuge an innocent look. "What are you handing over? I'm quite hungry. I only found these in your cabinet. But this Pu'er tea is quite good..."

"You scoundrel! That tea was brought back from the Great Wilderness for my father-in-law by someone I had arranged!"

"Father-in-law... Tang Jingyao, I really can't believe you would..."

"Okay, shut up!"

Tang Jingyao looked at Ji Wuge and Sikong Jin with a headache, and helplessly sat down next to Ji Wuge. "I just heard that you beat Liu Zhang black and blue. When will you be able to face him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Sikong Jin's lowered eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on his handsome face. He did not answer Tang Jingyao's question.

Ji Wuge glanced thoughtfully at Sikong Jin, then smiled and said, "Your fighting style is quite interesting."

Sikong Jin pursed her lips, touched her nose, and said seriously, "This was actually just pure luck."

"I heard that the first thing Liu Zhang did after coming out of the latrine was to submit an application to the General Affairs Department to renovate our Zhongzhou Society's canteen? Ah Jin, what do you think of this?"

"What do you mean, 'how do you see it'? The Zhongzhou Association's canteen should have been rectified long ago. There's often sand in the food, the vegetables are cooked until they're so yellow, and they don't even use enough oil. And you don't know what happened with the boiled beef I ordered today. There were only two pieces of beef on the plate, and the rest was just chili peppers. And that tomato and egg stir-fry, it's more like tomatoes stir-fried with tomatoes! And it's so expensive! It should have been rectified a long time ago! Liu Zhang really is the best ambassador for being approachable!"

The mere mention of this matter seemed to enrage Lord Sikong, his fair face turning bright red.

"Hmm! I'm too lazy to argue with you. Your affair with Ji Wuge is all over the news in the Zhongzhou Society right now. You acted so recklessly, I'll have to clean up your mess later!"

Tang Jingyao glanced at the two of them with displeasure, but his eyes were full of concern and warmth. "Just now, that Wang Bo, the commander of the First Regiment of the Xuanluo Army, came to our judicial department to report you, Ji Wuge. Can't you two idiots just behave yourselves? If I hadn't slapped him for blocking my way, he would probably still be arguing with me right now... I'm talking to you... Where are you going?"

"I'll go see if Zixi has finished cooking!"

"The sunset outside is beautiful, I'll go take a look!"

……

Inside Tang Jingyao's study at the Tang residence.

Tang Jingyao's eyes were full of concern as he said to Sikong Jin, "The decision won't be made for another three days. Sikong Jin, you should rest well in the manor for the next few days. You dealt such a heavy blow to Liu Zhang, he will definitely not let you off so easily. It's safer to stay in the manor."

"That's true. Knowing Liu Zhang as I do, it's no wonder he can't swallow this insult after you beat him up like that."

Ji Wuge agreed.

A cold, ruthless glint appeared in Sikong Jin's eyes, and she smiled dismissively, "Then I'll wait and see how he tries to get rid of me."

"Don't underestimate him. He's the kind of despicable man who would even push his own woman away. When he saw Fang Huixue at the Military Intelligence Bureau today, hmph..."

Sikong Jin knew something about Liu Zhang's affair. It seemed that when he climbed the social ladder by marrying the Eighth Princess Xing Zidie, he abandoned his betrothed from childhood, which drew a lot of criticism at the time.

However, judging from what Ji Wuge said...

Sikong Jin's eyes widened in surprise. "Don't tell me that my Lady Fang Huixue is Liu Zhang's poor fiancée!"

Ji Wuge glanced at Tang Jingyao, and the two smiled at each other. The answer was already obvious!

Is this world fantasy?

Sikong Jin smiled speechlessly. No wonder Fang Huixue had that kind of personality...

She made a mistake by not killing Xing Zidie on the spot last time. If she had another chance, she would definitely take action without hesitation and eliminate the adulterous couple!

"I have some bad news for you."

Tang Jingyao's expression suddenly turned serious, and his tone became unusually low, "The Emperor has secretly withdrawn the royal army in the northern part of our Dayong towards the capital. He may be planning something big."

Upon hearing Tang Jingyao's words, Ji Wuge's expression immediately turned serious. "I've always known that the Emperor wants to weaken the power of our three great families. This time, who is he planning to target? If he thinks he can swallow any one of our three great families whole with the little power he has right now, that's wishful thinking. The only troops he can mobilize in the capital are the 100,000 Imperial Guards and the 50,000 Royal Guards. But outside the capital, each of the three great families has 100,000 troops. Is he really that confident of winning?"
