After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 270 A New Bug Occurs

"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

The official who spoke was puzzled.

Logically speaking, if a young lady or gentleman is a favorite of the old emperor, then every family would be eager to arrange a marriage between them.

Why is it different when it comes to Shen Zhiyi?

Chen, the Vice Minister of Rites, who had come to watch the commotion, looked at the other person as if he were a fool.

"It's quite an achievement that you've made it this far in your career."

"That's right, that's right, stop thinking about Shen Lang like that."

"But it doesn't matter. This kid is just so-so looking. Shen Lang is a typical looks-obsessed person, he definitely won't be interested in this kid."

The official who spoke earlier was greatly offended.

Finally, I borrowed a small mirror to check my appearance.

Although he couldn't compare to the dignified appearance of the Minister of Personnel, he wasn't bad either.

[Holy crap, General Yunhui isn't a first-time husband after all.]

Upon hearing this, the General of the Cavalry, who had come with the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, nearly popped his eyes out.

He rolled up his sleeves.

"That brat actually married someone else behind my back?"

"Without parental consent and a matchmaker's words, what kind of marriage is this!"

The General of the Cavalry felt very uncomfortable.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review quickly pulled the other person away: "Oh dear, you didn't want to acknowledge him before, but now you're acting like he's your father. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

The fierce aura emanating from the General of the Cavalry instantly vanished, replaced by a pitiful expression.

"Fatty, do you think I'm too old and don't love me anymore?"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review patted his large belly dismissively: "Nothing of the sort."

No, you do have it.

[I knew it! With a physique like that, it's impossible for no girls to have their eyes on him. Besides, there are very few people in this world who are unmarried and childless. It would be strange if General Yunhui, at his age, had never been married.]

Yes, yes.

The Eighth Princess nodded vigorously.

If General Yunhui had never been with a woman, she would suspect that the man had a physical problem.

She absolutely will not allow anything that could affect her future sexual happiness to happen.

General Yunhui looked at the Eighth Princess with a complicated expression.

I strongly suspect that this person is simply lusting after his body.

[So, during the period when General Yunhui suffered from amnesia and was wandering in Luozhou, he actually had a marriage. However, because of... well, his desires were too great, he scared the girl away and ran back to her parents' home that very night.]

The Eighth Princess's eyes instantly lit up like an 18-watt light bulb.

When the amnesiac General Yunhui arrived, the other party refused to go back and insisted on a divorce. General Yunhui, who never forced women, agreed.

General Yunhui felt uneasy.

He began to worry whether the Eighth Princess would be afraid of him.

Just as he was feeling conflicted and scared, a pair of soft hands excitedly grabbed his hand.

His heart tightened, and when he looked up, he met a pair of, well, very excited eyes.

He reasonably suspected that if it weren't for Shen Zhiyi being there, the Eighth Princess would have jumped up excitedly.

How could the Eighth Princess not be excited?

She felt like she had found a treasure.

Meanwhile, the court officials below were seething with hatred.

Holy crap, General Yunhui is actually that capable!

What on earth did that kid eat to grow up like that?!

The General of the Cavalry slapped himself hard across the face.

He deserves to die.

She failed to protect her own son, yet she still had the nerve to speak of her parents' orders.

[Holy crap! Holy ...

Shen Zhiyi was clearly shocked by the series of slaps.

Shocked, Shen Zhiyi turned her head away, holding her drink to hide the emotions on her face.

The system frantically issued warnings in Shen Zhiyi's mind.

[Host, please use polite language.]

[What's with the polite language? General Yunhui's ex-wife found out she was pregnant not long after their divorce, and now their child is three years old.]

The Eighth Princess's eyes instantly turned fervent.

Immediately label General Yunhui.

—Good figure, good in bed, has kids.

Perfect.

"Shen Lang, this meal is on me, we'll be going now."

Before Shen Zhiyi could say anything, the Eighth Princess grabbed General Yunhui and ran away.

Shen Zhiyi touched the back of her head.

"Huh? What's the Eighth Princess doing here again?"

"Forget it, the Eighth Princess is impulsive and acts on a whim, that's normal. I'll just continue watching the drama unfold."

[Wow, it seems the "marry first, love later" faction is slightly ahead now.]

Moved by what she heard, the Princess of Penglai pushed the man in front of her away.

"you do this delibrately."

Junior Secretary: ? ? ?

"What? I did it on purpose?"

"You deliberately used your good looks on me. Let me tell you, childhood sweethearts are the best."

The junior secretary sneered, "That young master is nothing but a mistress! Mistresses don't deserve love."

"What mistress? Don't you know what 'first come, first served' means? If we're talking about mistresses, then the volatile and arrogant prince is the mistress."

As their tempers flared, the two began arguing as if no one else was around, as if they hadn't been the ones embracing just moments before.

After a whole night of struggle, the marriage-first-love-later relationship and the childhood sweetheart ended in a draw.

Zhang Sheren looked at the number of messages on the message board and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, it was a simple and pleasant decision.

What's the point of arguing? Just give the male lead and the second male lead some perks.

He decided to have a change of heart this time and be a good balance-maker.

then……

He was verbally abused by his beloved readers, and some even threatened to send him razor blades.

Because of Shen Zhiyi, his disguise has been exposed, so he doesn't dare to go home at all.

"Shen Lang, I'm in dire need of help."

Shen Zhiyi opened the courtyard gate and saw a furtive figure.

[What is Zhang Sheren doing? If I hadn't seen him on the security camera, An Jiu would have knocked him out.]

Zhang Sheren trembled slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm not suited to go out lately."

Shen Zhiyi raised the corners of her lips: "Come in."

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Trying to please both sides like this usually only results in pleasing neither.]

Zhang Sheren looked up at the sky, forcing back the tears welling up in his eyes.

If he had known it would be like this, he might as well have killed off both the male lead and the second male lead, and let the female lead be the only one who shines.

Upon entering the courtyard, Zhang Sheren noticed the items displayed inside and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"Oh, I'm going to continue with my side hustle."

Zhang Sheren hesitated and asked, "A charlatan?"

"What charlatan? He's a fortune teller!"

Zhang Sheren immediately observed a moment of silence for his colleagues.

Shen Zhiyi happily picked up her equipment, preparing to take Anqi out, when a piercing sound came from her ear.
