My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4044

Gu Molanya watched as Liu Mingzhi suddenly turned around and rushed towards the main room, and suddenly snapped out of her daze, which was staring at her brother-in-law with a blushing face and a look of astonishment.

Immediately, just like Young Master Liu, she also hurriedly turned around and rushed towards Qi Yun's room.

When Qi Yun saw Gu Molanya's reaction after she came to her senses, before Gu Molanya could even lift her lotus feet and run into the room, she quickly reached out her slender white hand and grabbed her fair wrist.

"Hey, Lanya, where are you going?"

When Gu Molan saw Qi Yun suddenly reach out and grab her wrist, she instinctively struggled a few times against Qi Yun's grasp on her fair wrist. Then, with a look of anxiety, she hurriedly looked up at Qi Yun.

"Oh dear, Sister Yun, of course I need to go to your room to take shelter."

"Sister Yun, please let go of me! Please let go of me!"

Upon hearing Gu Molanya's urgent reply, Qi Yun looked at the anxious expression on Gu Molanya's pretty face with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and immediately giggled and took two small steps forward.

"Giggle, giggle~ giggle."

“Lan Ya, my dear sister, when your good brother-in-law was standing by the steps outside the main house just now, you really needed to hide in your sister’s room to avoid him for a while.”

However, your brother-in-law has already fled back to his room because he saw you, Lanya.

In this way, dear sister, you can't even see your brother-in-law anymore, so what's the point of you avoiding him?
"My dear sister, think about it carefully, isn't that the truth?"

Upon hearing Qi Yun's words, Gu Molanya immediately turned her fair and slender neck slightly and looked towards the changing rack outside the main room.

In her watery gaze, her brother-in-law was nowhere to be seen beside the laundry rack outside the main room.

At this moment, the figure of her brother-in-law was reflected in the window of the room by the flickering candlelight in the main room.

Judging from the movement of his shadow reflected on the window, it seems that my brother-in-law is putting on his clothes!

Upon seeing this, Gu Molanya immediately withdrew her gaze, then, with shy eyes, nodded a few times to Qi Yun, who was looking at her with smiling eyes.

"Mmm, Sister Yun, it seems... it seems that's how it is."

Upon hearing Gu Molanya's reply, Qi Yun's beautiful smile deepened instantly.

"Hehehe, little sister Lanya, it's not just that it seems to be like this, it's exactly how it is."

My silly little sister, the reason I urged you to quickly retreat to my room to avoid trouble was because your brother-in-law was still standing by the laundry rack outside the main room!
I was worried that you, silly little sister, would be shy, so I hurriedly urged you to go back to my room.

Now that your brother-in-law has already fled back to his room because of you, you, sister, certainly don't need to avoid anything anymore.

After listening to Qi Yun's gentle and sweet words, Gu Molan was about to say something when Dong Yang's tense shouts suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Dong Yang requests an audience."

"Your Majesty, is everything alright on your end?"

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, the Empress, Ren Qingrui, Gu Molanya and the other sisters heard Dong Yang's anxious question and subconsciously turned to look towards the courtyard gate.

Because the courtyard gate had been closed by Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and their sisters could not see Dong Yang standing at the gate.

However, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Ren Qingrui, Gu Molanya and the other beauties could see through the crack in the courtyard gate that Dong Yang was blocking the shadow of the candlelight outside the gate.

Qi Yun pursed her red lips twice, then immediately responded loudly, "Dong Yang, there's nothing wrong here. You can go back to your duty!"

Upon hearing Qi Yun's response, Dong Yang did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he raised his hands with a worried expression and clasped them together in front of the courtyard gate.

"Your Majesty, I am honored. I humbly request Your Majesty to answer my question."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun realized that Dong Yang didn't quite believe what she had just said.

However, she did not feel any resentment because Dong Yang did not believe her words.

After all, Dong Yang did this for the safety of her husband.

If I were to harbor resentment towards a loyal subject over such a trivial matter, then I would be unworthy of being a good wife to my husband.

Qi Yun withdrew her gaze from the courtyard gate and immediately turned gracefully to look at the main house not far away.

"Husband."

"Hey, Yun'er, what do you say?"

"Husband, did you hear Dong Yang's shout? He's waiting for your reply outside the courtyard gate!"

No sooner had Qi Yun finished speaking than Liu Shao's reply came from the main room.

“Yun’er, I heard you. I opened the window to answer him after I tied the drawstring of my underwear.”

Upon hearing her husband's reply, Qi Yun nodded her head a few times with a smile that remained unchanged on her pretty face.

"Yes, I understand."

"Dong Yang, His Majesty will give you a reply after he has fastened his belt."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yang quickly punched the courtyard gate in front of him again.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I await Your Majesty's reply."

As soon as Dong Yang finished speaking respectfully, the window of the main house in the courtyard creaked open.

After leaning out of the window, Liu Mingzhi calmly gazed at the courtyard gate ahead.

"Dong Yang, I have nothing to do here. You can go back to your duty!"

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that Your Majesty come to the outside of the courtyard gate for an audience!"

After hearing Dong Yang's reply, Liu Mingzhi shook his head with a slightly helpless expression.

"Dong Yang, I really don't have anything to do here. You can go and do what you need to do!"

Dong Yang frowned, took a deep breath, and solemnly cupped his hands towards Young Master Liu in the main house of the courtyard through the courtyard gate.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being unable to comply. I humbly request that Your Majesty come to the gate of the palace for a meeting."

Upon hearing Dong Yang's words, Liu Mingzhi knew that if he didn't show himself to Dong Yang, Dong Yang would definitely not leave with peace of mind.

"Ugh!"

"Hehehe, stubborn, damn stubborn."

After chuckling and muttering a light curse, Liu Mingzhi immediately withdrew his body from the window and turned to walk out of the room with a slightly helpless expression.

Under the watchful eyes of Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Qi Ya, the Empress, Yun Xiaoxi, Ren Qingrui, Gu Molanya, and other beauties, Young Master Liu first walked out of the main house, then strode confidently towards the courtyard gate in the distance. Soon, Young Master Liu arrived behind the courtyard gate.

After gently adjusting his sleeves twice, Liu Mingzhi reached out and opened the bolt on the courtyard gate.

With a soft creak, the courtyard gate opened.

The moment the courtyard gate opened, Dong Yang hurriedly nodded and lowered his head, retreating to the left of the gate.

Without knowing the situation inside the courtyard, he dared not easily go and observe it.

It was already late at night, and His Majesty, the Empress, and all the imperial concubines and their families should have already bathed and washed up.

In this situation, if you accidentally see something you shouldn't see, then you'll be in big trouble.

After Liu Mingzhi walked steadily and powerfully out of the courtyard gate, he turned around with a smile and looked at Dong Yang, who had taken several steps back.

"Dong Yang, you dare not even believe the Empress's own words? Aren't you afraid that the Empress might whisper in my ear and make things difficult for you?"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's cheerful and joking words, Dong Yang immediately raised his hands with a broad smile and clasped them together in a fist salute to the smiling Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is a model of virtue and grace, and she would certainly not hold such a trivial matter against me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi immediately raised his eyebrows and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, hahahaha~ hahahahahaha."

"Oh, Dong Yang, now that you say that, I really don't know how to refute you."

After all, everything you said is true.

Dong Yang took a deep breath and replied loudly with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is wise. Everything I have said comes from the bottom of my heart."

The Empress is virtuous, gentle, elegant, and of impeccable character. Her reputation for both virtue and talent is known throughout the world.

"I believe that, given Her Majesty the Empress's virtue, she will certainly not mind my rudeness just now."

After listening to Dong Yang's lavish praise of Qi Yun, Liu Mingzhi turned around with a smile and looked towards the courtyard.

"Yun'er, Dong Yang's voice isn't quiet at all!"
Did you hear what he just said in response to me?

Upon hearing her husband's question, Qi Yun immediately opened her mouth slightly and replied in a sweet voice, "Yes, my husband, I heard everything."

"Yun'er, what do you think of what Dong Yang just said?"

"My lord, in my opinion, what Dong Yang just said was far too obviously flattering."

Furthermore, since he dared not believe what I just said, he should be punished with a ten-day salary deduction.

After hearing Qi Yun's response, Liu Mingzhi smiled and turned his gaze back to Dong Yang.

"Dong Yang, you heard what the Empress said to me."

The Empress has said she will deduct ten days' salary from your pay. Are you willing to accept this punishment?

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, Dong Yang immediately nodded vigorously without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Dong Yang knew perfectly well that Young Master Liu was saying these things to help him save face!

After all, not believing what the Empress herself said is no small matter.

Being loyal is one thing, but not believing the Empress's words is another; these two things should not be confused.

These two situations can be either significant or minor.

His Majesty's actions clearly indicate that he wants to downplay the severity of this matter.

Similarly, he also knew in his heart that Qi Yun's words just now meant that she did not take his offensive behavior to heart.

For me, ten days' salary is nothing more than a trivial matter.

To put it bluntly, whether it's His Majesty the Emperor or His Majesty the Empress, the two of them are simply trying to save face for themselves!
Faced with such a situation, how could one possibly have any objections?
Hearing Dong Yang's unwavering answer, Liu Mingzhi laughed heartily, his smile still intact, and said, "Hahaha, hahahahaha, it's fine as long as you're willing to accept the punishment."

Oh, and don't you dare complain!

Upon hearing this, Dong Yang nodded vigorously at Young Master Liu once again.

"Your Majesty, I have no complaints whatsoever! I have no complaints!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and replied loudly, "You can calculate your salary for ten days in silver coins when you get back to your post."

"After breakfast tomorrow, I will personally deliver this to Steward Liu Song."

"Your Majesty understands, Your Majesty understands."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Dong Yang, who was all smiles, and nodded with a faint smile in acknowledgment.

"That's good, that's good!"

"I really have nothing going on with me. You've seen that for yourself now, so you can go back to your duties with peace of mind."

"Your humble servant obeys. I shall take my leave now."

"Well, let's go."

Dong Yang first nodded respectfully, then turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the courtyard gate.

"Your Majesty, I have been impolite. I shall take my leave now."

Qi Yun smiled slightly, her eyebrows arched, and replied in a sweet voice, "Okay, go ahead."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and all the ladies, please rest early. I shall take my leave."

After responding loudly to Young Master Liu's words, Dong Yang turned around and walked towards his group of good brothers a few dozen steps away.

Liu Mingzhi watched Dong Yang's retreating figure, smiled, shook his sleeves twice, and then turned and walked straight into the courtyard.

"Squeak, squeak."

After casually bolting the door, Liu Mingzhi glanced furtively at Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Ren Qingrui, Gu Molanya, and the other sisters, then strode quickly toward the main house.

"Yun'er, well, well, you two continue chatting, I'll go back to wash up and take a bath first."
