The Employed Empress 147 Chapter 147: Admitting Defea

Wei Yi Yi smiled warmly and pa.s.sed Mao'er towards Wen Yang. "As long as one could admit their wrongs, one could then reflects and improvement would not be hindered. It is Bengong's lucky star that let her have an understanding and broad-minded younger sister."

Mao'er struggled on Wen Yang's hold. She felt that cat scratch her on the neck and the stinging pain after, however, seeing Wei Yi Yi gentle smile towards her, Wen Yang was afraid to drop the cat down.

"The Empress praise too much," Wen Yang said with her guards up. It might be her imagination but for a split second, she felt like Wei Yi Yi's smile did not reach her eyes. "This is sudden but this subject's wife must excuse herself now. I will express my thanks to the empress at a later time."

"It is sister who is too polite. I would not hold your time any longer then. Younger sister, please, be on your way and take care."

Wen Yang left without looking back and Xia Min meekly follow after her mistress. Xia Li looked back and forth fl.u.s.teredly before tearing up in frustration. Shame, awkwardness, and injustice mixed uncomfortably in the pit of her stomach. Xia Jing ends up dragging her away.

Once they are out of the doors, Jiang Liu ordered his servants. "Get the salt!"

One servant, as if she prepared it beforehand, appeared with the salt.

"Throw the salt! Shoo away the bad spirit!" Jiang Liu acted as the model student and grabbed a handful of salt then throw it on the ground first.

Of course, his servant copied his great example.

Wei Yi Yi reacted, "Stop! Say sorry to the hard workers of our society immediately!"

Pouting, Jiang Liu stopped and wiped his hands. "I had envisioned Big Sister coming up and beating Wen s.h.i.+ like it was any other day. Ah, but this too is also satisfying!"

"Aren't I starting to sound eloquent? I learn that from my daily subscription of concubines crying."

In her normal days, she would have taken that 'face-slapping' literally and slap the soul out of those that cross her.

Boys fighting was easier. It's either they would sneakily puncture each other's car tires or end up in the police station.

While girls use brains and tears in an attempt to hide the danger they possess. Who said it will end after that? Things will escalate later and bad rumors will be taking their round across the community before you know it!

But she was taught that one must always adapt to situations and enemies! Although it's hard to fight on their playing field, Wei Yi Yi is not inexperienced.

Patting Jiang Liu's back, Wei Yi Yi said, "Wounds would stop bleeding but sharp words cannot be pulled out on your head. Aren't you very talkative? I heard you insulting my concubines multiple times yet you couldn't even drown Wen Yang with your saliva."

"Master, there's still a lot that this disciple lacks." Jiang Liu attempt to produce a serious face. "Please continue to enlighten me."

Wei Yi Yi played along. "My good disciple, not all must be learned. If you always copy master, you might end up in jail. What master did is legitimate s.e.xual hara.s.sment."

Talking like an old sage, Wei Yi Yi added in a reminiscing tone, "In my time, police would be running after the offenders immediately. Ah but, if you do it with another guy, master will support you will all her might!"

Wei Yi Yi gave a thumbs up. Jiang furrows his brows and asks, "Why is it alright with another guy?"

"Because I'm having a double standard." Wei Yi Yi guiltily averted her eyes.

This era doesn't have much concept of s.e.xuality outside of the norm. Despite 'cut-sleeves' slowly turning as a derogative term, they still think that having a male consort was nothing but a simple preference.

A rare kind of preference but not abnormal.

And it was only because they are concern about producing an heir and not because of gender.

So Wei Yi Yi wonders, would Wen Yang identify it as a.s.sault and be traumatized?

Truth is, after that, Wen Yang indeed felt creep out with touching.

Later at night, Jiang Cheng silently entered Wen Yang's inner chamber without her noticing.

"Xiao Yang," he said as he gently put his hands on his wife's shoulders.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng witnessed his aways proud wife shriek in horror.

They both looked at each other with widened eyes.

"Ar-are you alright?" Jiang Cheng asked. He was at lost on what to do.

Slowly, tears rolled down Wen Yang face. And in utter frustration, she brawled her eyes out like a kid who got bullied.

Jiang Cheng, "..."

Why does it felt like his wife got exchanged?

Rather than upset, Wen Yang was crying in anger. Not being able to kill the one you hated is just so d.a.m.n frustrating!

Traumatic Wen Yang was not able to do any waifu duties for a long time. She also somehow developed a strong sense to evade the empress whenever she saw her smiling towards her.
