My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 56: Sincerity Is Worthless

Chapter 56: Sincerity Is Worthless

Sun Ji was furious. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Lord Nie, it truly humiliates you to use these worthless items! It’s also my fault for having already gone bankrupt and being unable to send you anything better.” (Sarcastic tone.) You’re letting him pay for his life, and you’re still upset?

Nie Yao pointed to the cell next door. “If Lord Sun is dissatisfied with the previous transaction, you’re welcome to move back in. Your current shabby appearance suits this place quite well.” Of course, he wouldn’t refund the money. Why refund something that’s already been spent? Nie Yao had no intention of offering after-sales service to someone who likely wouldn’t live much longer.

“Lord Nie.” If it weren’t for the important business today, Sun Ji would have really liked to curse this person out. For the sake of the grand plan, he had to swallow his anger. “I came to see you today with sincerity.” “Sincerity?” Nie Yao’s eyes swept over the junk he brought. “This is your sincerity?”

Returning to the cell. Closing the door. Nie Yao outright told him to scram, or he would resort to violence. “Lord Nie, you misunderstand.” Sun Ji adjusted his mindset quickly and said politely to Nie Yao, “I truly wish to form an alliance with you this time.” To avoid getting so angry that his liver hurt again, Sun Ji took out his bargaining chip first: some evidence regarding the new Emperor’s identity. Sun Ji handed a part of it to Nie Yao, “This is my sincerity.”

Nie Yao took it and looked. Wow~ They actually discovered that his wife was a ge’er. How surprising. Nie Yao raised an eyebrow, suitably eased his expression, and then asked, “Is that all?” He gestured for Sun Ji to take out more things. Otherwise, he couldn’t be bothered with just this much. “If you have more, take it out quickly! Otherwise, scram, don’t waste my time.”

Crude brute! Sun Ji utterly despised Nie Yao’s behavior. But Nie Lingfeng was too conservative, without a single weakness. Only his rebellious son, who held military power and was also foolish. “Don’t rush, Lord Nie.” Sun Ji sneered internally, his face becoming increasingly amiable. “This cooperation can’t be one-sided; don’t you think you should also…” “Me?” Nie Yao laughed. “Get this straight, Sun Ji. You are begging me to cooperate now, not the other way around. I have no desire to associate with weaklings like you who only drag me down.” He was extremely arrogant, which made Sun Ji’s teeth itch again.

“Since Lord Nie looks down on me, then forget it!” Sun Ji planned to retreat to advance, bidding Nie Yao farewell. Go then, if you must. Who would keep you for dinner? Nie Yao scornfully tossed away the “sincerity” Sun Ji brought, completely unconcerned with his petty tricks. He lay back down on the soft bed and pulled up the blanket. Closed his eyes. Slept. The entire sequence of movements was fluid and effortless.

Sun Ji left without any effort to stop him, feeling both angry and resentful. But he also understood that he couldn’t persuade this oddity alone. His master had to come personally. “Lord, Sun Ji has left,” the shadow guard reported. “He departed the palace via secret passage No. 3 and is expected to reach exit No. 1 on the south side of the city in half an hour.” Nie Yao had long since familiarized himself with all the secret passages in the palace. He had even numbered the entrances and exits to make reporting easier for his subordinates. “Hmm, keep an eye on him.” Nie Yao stood up and dusted off his clothes. The performance was over; time to go home.

On his way to see his wife, Nie Yao picked some flowers and arranged them into a bouquet according to his own aesthetic taste. He wondered if his wife would like them. Nie Yao straightened his clothes and had just stepped into the garden in front of his wife’s palace. “A’Lan, are you really going to pretend you don’t know me?” Nie Yao heard someone inside talking to his wife. He glanced in. Didn’t recognize the person.

“This is too dangerous for you! A’Lan, come with me, as long as I am here, I will certainly protect you!” What is he saying, what is he saying?? My wife’s safety can only be protected by me! The man’s words were too provocative, and Nie Yao couldn’t stand it. Even though it wasn’t suitable for him to appear in the palace right now, he quickly found a handkerchief to cover his face. Then he used the large bouquet to block the front. “Your Majesty!!” Nie Yao hurriedly ran into his wife’s embrace, pulling his hands to wrap around his waist. He pushed away this unfamiliar wild man who appeared out of nowhere, leaning against his wife. “Your Majesty, these are the flowers your humble servant gives you. Does Your Majesty like them?”

“I love them!” Du Suilan loved anything his husband gave him. He didn’t have time to deal with Zong Huan now, so he waved his hand to dismiss him. “Who you are is irrelevant to me, which is why I ignore you.” It was ignoring, not pretending not to know him. Du Suilan was always decisive in rejecting anyone other than his husband. “You should leave quickly. My affairs are none of your business.”

“A’Lan… who is he?!” Zong Huan was deeply in love with Du Suilan, the ge’er. His trip accompanying Prince Duan as an envoy to Great Yu was specifically to find him. After arriving in Great Yu, Zong Huan searched tirelessly. He finally saw the person he cared for, only to discover that his beloved had transformed from a merchant ge’er of unknown identity into the Emperor of a nation! His inner shock had not yet subsided. Then he discovered that there was already another man by his side!

Zong Huan was hurt, sad, and slightly aggrieved. “A’Lan, you clearly knew… I always felt for you… A’Lan, I love you!” He was born into nobility. He felt he wouldn’t lose to this rude, unpolished, and common-looking man in front of him. If this man was acceptable, then he certainly must be too! Zong Huan said, “Come with me, A’Lan. Our Emperor has long wished to launch a war to unify the world. Why should you, a ge’er, put yourself in danger?”

“Can you not understand human speech?” Du Suilan was enjoying the scent of the flowers. He looked up, seeing the outsider still hadn’t left, and frowned. “Guards! Get him out of here!” The Imperial Guards instantly appeared. They smoothly covered Zong Huan’s mouth and carried him out. “Wife…” With the nuisance gone, Nie Yao removed the handkerchief covering his face, hugged his wife, and cuddled. “Who was that person? Why did he call you A’Lan?”

“I never allowed him to call me that!” Du Suilan wouldn’t let his husband misunderstand, so he immediately distanced himself from the irrelevant person. Then he answered, “That was Zong Huan. Didn’t his younger brother come looking for you before?” Zong Huan’s younger brother was Zong Chuiyu, the one who camped outside Nie Yao’s house for days and then outside the palace gate for days, all to ask for Nie Yao’s help. “Ah, it’s him.” Nie Yao recalled, realizing that Zong Huan was not only from a noble clan but also quite good-looking. Such a rival inevitably made him jealous.

“Your Majesty, I heard he has concubines and female attendants at home!” (Of course, he wouldn’t mention that Zong Huan had begun to live a chaste life after meeting his wife.) Nie Yao said sourly, “A man who doesn’t respect himself is worthless, not even as good as a cabbage! Wife, you mustn’t be nice to such a dirty man!” “I know.” Du Suilan happily arranged the flowers his husband gave him. He didn’t take Zong Huan to heart at all and instead instructed his husband, “I think you’re right, Husband! You must not learn from a bad man like that!”

Naturally! Nie Yao straightened his back. “Wife, no matter what or where, I am yours! Completely yours!”
