In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"This... I'll go fetch Miss/Madam right away!"

The two hurriedly ran back to their respective courtyards.

Soon,

The left-hand gate opened slightly, and Cao Jie, draped in a bright red fox fur coat, strode out, his brows slightly furrowed, still clutching an unfinished account book in his hand.

Sun Shangxiang hurried over from the right-hand corridor, lifting her skirt.

The two met by chance at the fork in the road near the moon gate.

"A secret decree?"

"I don't know, what's that guy up to?"

Although puzzled,

However, due to the sensitivity surrounding this important family matter, neither of them dared to delay.

The two exchanged a glance and walked side by side toward the place Zhao Yu usually used to slack off—the study.

We'll see what tricks Zhao Yu has up his sleeve.

"Squeak—" The study door was pushed open.

The two stepped inside.

I noticed something different here.

The desk, which was usually piled high with bamboo slips and snacks, was pushed to the corner.

Instead,

It is a soft couch.

That was a "wider version of Ge You's reclining posture" that Zhao Yu had specially brought back from Tongquetai, large enough for three people to sit side by side.

Zhao Yu had already taken off that incredibly heavy festive robe.

Wearing only a single layer of clothing, with her hair down,

"You've arrived."

This art style...something's not right.

Cao Jie looked around.

"My lord, where is the imperial edict? Where is the secret order?"

"You dare to forge an imperial edict? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor! Even though this is in Ye City."

Faced with the two women's questions, Zhao Yu offered no explanation.

But as they questioned him, Zhao Yu had already appeared at the door.

He then plugged the latch back in and added another lock.

Completely and utterly cut off any escape route.

Zhao Yu turned around.

His usual carefree smile was nowhere to be seen on his face.

That was the confidence that his strong waist gave him, and also the possessiveness that a man unleashes at a crucial moment.

With a burning gaze, he approached the two step by step.

"A secret decree?"

"The secret decree is—"

Zhao Yu stretched out his arms and braced himself against the wall behind the two of them.

A classic "double wall slam" ensued.

"Tonight, neither the eldest daughter of the Cao family nor the princess of Eastern Wu are here."

"Only my woman, Zhao Yu's woman."

"you……"

Cao Jie blushed. How could this usually gentle and mild-mannered man be so... reckless today?

She was about to argue that this was against the rules.

Zhao Yu spoke first,

"Everyone says that this marriage is a political alliance, that Cao Cao is trying to win over Sun Quan, and that Sun Quan is scheming against Cao Cao. You two are equal wives, pawns in a game of checks and balances."

"But in my eyes, that's bullshit."

"You are now my left heart and my right heart."

"If anyone is missing, this heart will stop beating. I can't live without them."

That's such a corny love confession.

But for the two of them, it was very damaging.

The two were stunned for a moment.

"Now that you've entered this door and paid your respects at that altar, you're mine."

Zhao Yu suddenly reached out his hand—

He held Cao Jie's soft hand in one hand and grasped Sun Shangxiang's wrist in the other.

With a sudden force, he pulled the two of them simultaneously onto the soft couch.

Sun Shangxiang learned martial arts from a young age.

He instinctively tried to resist, but Zhao Yu pressed his attack directly.

A hand had already grabbed her wrist.

"Shangxiang, tonight you are not allowed to use force, only to express your feelings."

She had never been suppressed like this in her entire life.

It wasn't a physical suppression, but rather a kind of... conquering through aura.

On the other hand, Cao Jie still wanted to maintain the dignity of a well-bred young lady.

"My lord...this is improper...the study is a place for sages and saints..."

"Ugh—"

Zhao Yu didn't listen to her nonsense at all.

He silenced her incessant chatter with his lips.

Cao Jie's eyes widened, his long eyelashes trembled, and finally he slowly closed them.

The red candles flickered, casting shifting shadows and shifting light.

Inside and outside the window, it was as if two completely different worlds existed.

The fragrance of plum blossoms fermented in the air, mixed with the scent of a young woman.

The study then becomes a beautiful, silent battlefield.

Only the rustling of the brocade mattress and the soft murmur of breath could be heard.

Zhao Yu proved with his actions:

The salted fish on ordinary days are just accumulating energy.

Once they turn the tables, they truly possess the might of a dragon.

As night deepened,

Faintly, one could also hear the sounds of "family discipline" coming from the study.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"...Hmph, what's wrong with that?"

The woman's voice was muffled, sounding both angry and annoyed.

"If I say it exists, then it exists. Tell me, from now on, whose orders will we listen to?"

"Um...no...no, no."

"Who will be the one to call the shots in this family from now on?"

"Of course it's me..."

"Um?"

"Waaah... Lord Zhao, from now on you will be the most reliable person in this family."

The current screen has been hidden.

Wishing you all good health and happiness, and may warm tea always be with you.

……

Until dawn the next day.

Hongxiu and Xiaocui stood guard outside the door all night, listening for any "movements" throughout the night.

At this moment, everything under his eyes was tinged with a faint bluish-black.

They looked at each other.

They both saw admiration in each other's eyes: "Son-in-law... he's truly a remarkable person."

"Knock knock knock".

I knocked on the door cautiously.

"Young master... Madam... it's time to offer tea to the master and madam..."

There was no response from inside.

After a while, Zhao Yu, wearing an overcoat, opened the door a crack.

"No rush, the lady is still sleeping soundly. We'll go after they wake up."

They weren't even asked to go in and serve them.

The room was a bit messy, and he was a little embarrassed to let outsiders see it.

She's sleeping soundly.

close the door,

He flashed a victor's smile.

Take a sip of the leftover tea from last night,

"This study..."

Zhao Yu stroked his chin.

"The feng shui is excellent."

"From now on, for the sake of peace and harmony in the home, you should come often."
