Chapter 778 Necessary Reward
Gu Mengzhen comforted and persuaded Luo Yu, treating her as if she were his three beloved nephews, with care, kindness and consideration.
Before leaving, he took the opportunity to teach Luo Libin and his wife a lesson, and punished them with fifty strokes of the cane for offending the emperor. Moreover, they were not allowed to rest and recuperate, and had to continue working day and night with their injuries to show that the imperial majesty could not be offended.
The night passed.
The servant knocked on the door on time to wake up the master.
This time, Luo Yu heard the noise and woke up crying.
"Um……"
Hearing the sweet voice, Zhuang Wei's blood started to move, and a tingling sensation filled his whole body. For a moment, he felt the heat in his heart was unbearable.
His hands moved freely, venting his heat; his words were normal, expressing his concern for his wife.
"This man, who woke me up, was not careful enough and woke up my wife as well. It was really abominable. When I got up, I found out who the man was and punished him severely."
Grace came from the heart, and Luo Yu gracefully threw herself into his arms.
"I am happy to accompany you, Master, and get up early. Please, Master, let that servant go. At most, just give him a warning."
Seeing her response, Zhuang Wei became more interested.
"Madam is very sensible and you must reward your husband."
After realizing that something was wrong, Luo Yu quickly pushed him away.
"Master, take a rest and don't get too tired."
Zhuang Wei's enthusiasm remained unabated and he kept close to her.
"Rewarding my wife is the same as rewarding myself. It's not tiring."
Luo Yu tried hard to stay rational and gave a serious reminder.
"Since you are strong, if you just do one thing, won't it delay your official duties?"
"Yesterday, Miss Wu was convicted. I was really terrified."
Her serious look was also very delicate and gentle. Zhuang Wei's mind was immersed in the cloud of love, and he was confused and lost.
"With you here, I have no time for work, so I won't go."
Luo Yu pretended to be coquettish and advised sternly.
"Master, please wake up."
"If you continue like this, I will sleep in a separate room from you."
Realizing that she was just pretending to be angry, Zhuang Wei cooperated.
"Madam, please think twice. I will stop now."
Luo Yu smiled sweetly.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Zhuang Wei asked with concern.
"Madam, are you tired from the emotional entanglement last night?"
Luo Yu replied.
"It's okay."
Fearing that the master would worry too much and feel inferior, she took the initiative to find an excuse for him.
"I guess the master must be very tired of using a trick to deal with Miss Wu yesterday?"
Understanding what she meant, Zhuang Wei smiled helplessly.
"No."
As he spoke, his hands started to move naughtily again.
"I've reserved your strength for today's affairs. When you're done and in a good mood, remember to give it back to me."
Luo Yu had just woken up and her reactions were a little slow, and she was unable to sense his affection for a moment.
She focused on the conversation and asked a question in confusion.
"What's going on today?"
Zhuang Wei answered with a hint of frivolity.
"I plan to let Yanwu and her family come to Beijing to meet you."
Luo Yu looked confused.
"Master changed his mind and decided not to sue. Do you want to give them a chance?"
Zhuang Wei twisted her chin and kissed her frivolously.
"Why should I be so kind?"
"I don't even want to let go of a delicate creature like you, let alone them."
Only then did she realize his loving act and Luo Yu hurriedly stopped him.
"Hmph, Master, you are just looking for trouble and bullying me."
She quickly changed the subject, fearing that she would sink into her romantic feelings.
"Since you have no intention of letting them go, why did the master allow them to enter the capital?"
The belt, when it was tied with flowers, fell on the bedside. Zhuang Wei took it away quietly and stealthily.
"I'll give you a chance to vent your anger and have fun. Then I'll send them to Tinghetai."
"It also gives them a little hope that their lives can be saved. This way, they will fall into despair and feel hopeless."
Luo Yu was generous with her praise.
"The master is an expert at playing with people's hearts."
Using a belt to bind a pair of delicate hands, Zhuang Wei's every move was very skillful.
"It's also a unique way for your husband to play with your delicate body. Madam, can you feel it?"
Unable to break free, Luo Yu was frightened and helpless.
"Didn't the master tell me to save my strength?"
Zhuang Wei couldn't control his temper at all.
"Have fun for a while, so you don't exhaust yourself."
Luo Yu reminded again.
"I'm busy, so I'm going to be late."
"Master, please don't delay your work."
Zhuang Wei tightened his belt a little, deliberately making the beauty moan.
"A beauty is a feast to the eyes. I'll skip breakfast and go hungry. It won't be a problem."
Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like they are just playing for a moment. Luo Yu thinks quickly and begs for mercy in a coquettish manner.
"But I don't want to be hungry."
Zhuang Wei replied, clear and concise.
"You can eat later."
Luo Yu spoke softly and lovingly, continuing to act coquettishly.
"I want you to have dinner with me, Master."
"Please, Master. I beg you, Master."
Feeling a little compassionate, Zhuang Wei agreed and untied her.
"Okay, okay, I'll let you go."
Luo Yu's cheeks were tinged with shyness.
"Thank you for your mercy, sir."
After enjoying breakfast, Zhuang Wei kissed his wife goodbye and went to Tongshitai to work.
Yan Ke received Zhuang Wei's order and immediately completed it, arranging for Yan Si and his family to live in Shengjing Inn, which was full of people.
A family of four gathered in a guest room to discuss matters.
Yun Yichai was confused and puzzled.
"Why are you dragging your feet, Master Jun, and why are you still not filing a lawsuit?"
"What's the purpose of letting us live in Shengjing?"
"Isn't he afraid that we will make friends with the powerful and turn things around in one fell swoop?"
Yanwu speculated.
"He was probably too complacent and believed that we had no chance of recovery, so he just wanted to play with us and didn't think about the possibility of accidents."
As if seeing hope, Yun Yichai smiled happily.
"It makes sense."
"Son, you must seize this opportunity, find someone to rely on quickly, and turn the tide."
Yan Tang decisively refused.
"I'm not looking."
"I have emphasized it many times before. I only want Yu'er."
Yan Wu's eyes were full of disgust.
"Shut up, Yu'er, Yu'er, you only know how to covet other people's wives, can you be more ambitious?"
Yan Tang sneered.
"At least, I am more infatuated and loyal than you."
"Brother, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Yan Wu was enraged.
"you……"
Yan Si scolded angrily.
"The situation is already critical, and you still want to quarrel? Stop it!"
Yun Yichai gave gentle advice.
"Brothers should tolerate each other."
Yanwu and Yantang were not convinced and responded.
"Yes."
Yan Si returned to the topic.
"It's easy for my lady to make friends with the rich and powerful and turn things around in one fell swoop."
"Under the control of Master Jun, we have no freedom at all. How can we seek opportunities to seek protection from the powerful?"
"We agreed to make friends with His Royal Highness Prince Li in order to seek his protection, but what happened? He refused to give us any advice, so we can only wait to be captured."
Yan Tang expressed his views.
"Dad is right. At this point, it is meaningless for us to rely on the power of the rich and powerful."
"Yu'er is deeply loved by Master Jun. We might as well ask her for a good word, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."
Yan Wu disagreed.
"Who will go and ask for help? You or me?"
"After the marriage fraud incident, Luo Yu must hate us. Wei Si is still lingering on and refuses to give up. How could she listen to our pleas and change her attitude so easily?"
"Second brother, your idea is rather naive."
Yan Si looked solemn and serious.
"Mrs. Xiao has a delicate temperament, is nostalgic, always grateful, and easily softens her heart."
"In my opinion, Tang'er's method is feasible."
"It was a bit abrupt for the whole family to go together. We took turns to meet her, appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her, and gradually broke down her defenses."
