Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Sitting in the room, Zhao Pan'er listened to Song Yinzhang's sobbing outside. Her hand holding the teacup trembled involuntarily, but she ultimately did not look up at her.

"Is Zhou She also in Zhou Lang's hands?"

Sun Sanniang looked at Zhou Feng with some curiosity, and the latter nodded casually: "Didn't he offend you back then? I was thinking of arresting him and teaching him a lesson."

Zhao Pan'er and the other woman exchanged a glance, both pursing their lips and remaining silent, but their eyes were clearly different from before.

Sun San Niang smiled and said, "Back then, Zhou Lang probably wasn't only concerned with Pan'er's thoughts, was he?"

It wasn't that she wanted to compete for favor or be jealous; it was simply that the relationship between the group was much better than before, and after this trip, Zhou Feng's feelings for them had warmed up quickly, so she didn't have many reservations.

"How can you say it's just Pan'er? I've been lusting after Third Sister for a long time too!"

As he spoke, Zhou Feng's gaze fell upon Sun San Niang's unique strengths, causing her to blush deeply. She reached out and tugged at Zhao Pan'er, saying, "Pan'er, aren't you going to do anything about him! In broad daylight, aren't you ashamed?"

This place wasn't something she wanted to grow up in, and she hadn't paid much attention to it before. Who would have thought that Zhou Feng would actually set his sights on it!

When the three of them returned from the north, Zhou Feng secretly indulged in his illicit affairs quite often. Unexpectedly, after returning to Tokyo, he didn't even try to hide it from Pan'er anymore!

Seeing Sun San Niang's expression, Zhou Feng chuckled.

The plan is about to be completed, and then his nominal identity will be the emperor of the world!

With three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, wouldn't it be normal for them to be a little unrestrained?

Zhao Pan'er just rolled her eyes at Zhou Feng, but didn't say anything.

Given her background and experience, Zhou Feng's willingness to let her be his legal wife is already the greatest support and favor he could offer her!

So when Zhou Feng said he wanted to take Sun San Niang as a concubine, Zhao Pan'er didn't refuse at all and agreed immediately.

Because Zhou Feng has already made the biggest concession in this relationship, she is not the kind of person who doesn't understand.

After exchanging a few more jokes with the two women, Zhou Feng finally left the room.

These are turbulent times, and there are many things that still require his decision-making.

After Zhou Feng left, Sun San Niang sighed deeply, fiddling with the hem of her clothes for a while, then suddenly looked at Zhao Pan'er: "Pan'er, Yin Zhang... are we really not going to do anything about her? If you speak up..."

"In what capacity do I have to intervene?"

Before Sun San Niang could finish speaking, Zhao Pan'er interrupted her.

"what?"

Hearing her question, Sun San Niang was momentarily taken aback.

"I asked, 'In what capacity should I intervene?'"

Zhao Pan'er repeated herself, her tone very calm, but her hand gripping the teacup was clearly exerting force.

"If I am the wife of the Celestial Master, the mistress of the Celestial Master's Mansion, why should I speak up for Song Yinzhang and Shen Ruzhuo when they insult my husband in public?"

"If I were Song Yinzhang's sister, and she came to my residence with an arrogant attitude, even intending to humiliate me, and then later severed ties with me, why should I speak up for her?"

Upon hearing this, Sun San Niang pursed her lips. What Zhao Pan'er said was indeed the truth.

She never expected that her sisters, who were perfectly fine before, would suddenly turn out like this.

"Can…"

After hesitating for a long time, Sun San Niang still wanted to say something. After all, Zhou Feng said that Zhou She was also there, which proved that the courtyard outside the city was probably not a good place!

After all, they've been sisters for so many years, how could she bear to watch Song Yinzhang suffer without doing anything?

"Third Sister!"

Before Sun San Niang could finish speaking, Zhao Pan'er was startled and interrupted her directly, her expression even more serious than ever before.

"I don't want to say anything more about Song Yinzhang, but there are some things I need to remind you! Now that you are a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion, you must prioritize the Celestial Master's Mansion in everything you do! The people Song Yinzhang and Shen Ruzhuo are slandering are the masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion, our husbands! Even if we are to forgive them, it is up to our husbands to make the decision, not us, understand?"

Zhao Pan'er's expression was very stern, her eyebrows were raised, and her tone was somewhat cold.

She knew that Sun San Niang meant well, and she also understood that Sun San Niang felt sorry for the younger sister she had watched grow up.

But things are different now; they are all destined to be people of Zhou Feng's household.

If Sun San Niang might incur Zhou Feng's dislike because of Song Yin Zhang, then she would rather give up Song Yin Zhang.

The sins of Heaven may be forgiven, but the sins of oneself are unforgivable!

She's not a child anymore. Her previous willfulness led her to run into Zhou She. Zhao Pan'er can ask Zhou Feng to help her resolve the situation.

This time, her willfulness went too far, so she can only bear the consequences herself.

Sun San Niang was taken aback by Zhao Pan'er's stern tone, but she was not unreasonable. She quickly understood what Zhao Pan'er meant.

Gently wiping her eye with her sleeve, Sun Sanniang forced a smile: "Pan'er, you're right. Everyone has their own life to live, and it's time for Yinzhang to take responsibility for his own."

"If we two sisters can get along well from now on, that's better than anything else!"

Zhao Pan'er's eyes were also a little wet, and the two women hugged each other tightly.

Although Zhao Pan'er initially took care of Song Yinzhang only because of the other woman's sister's request, over the years she has almost come to regard her as her own daughter. Now that she has decided to give her up, how could she feel good about it?

After leaving the room, Zhou Feng immediately found Chen Xiao and Qian Yuan. Now, even a minor official of the seventh rank in Tokyo knew about his current situation. It was likely that Zhao Heng had already begun mobilizing the troops outside the city to prepare to enter.

They might not even survive tonight before a large army comes to annihilate them.

This is quite contrary to their previous plan. If that's really the case, they might as well concentrate the troops in the Celestial Master's Mansion to directly attack the Imperial City and then wait for Qin Ming and the others to return to protect it.

Just as the three were discussing, Chen Xiao's expression suddenly froze, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "Boss, Qin Ming is back!"
