Chapter 11 Is the Prime Minister Bullying You?

Even though he thought so, he still nodded. “Okay!” Since they were already married, if they could get along well, he naturally welcomed it. After all, it was a lifetime commitment, and he wouldn’t push people out of the courtyard.

…

With that, Zhao Xian led Gu Tingshu all the way to the main courtyard in front of everyone’s eyes.

This is the best place in the Prime Minister’s Palace except Zhao Xian’s Xian’an Garden.

Zhao Xian raised her head to look at the plaque above her head. It was still empty.

Thinking about it, Zhao Xian couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment, This lousy prime minister, she married a husband without a care, and doesn’t even bother to name the courtyard. According to the customs of this female-dominated world, the name of the courtyard should be changed on the day of marriage, showing respect for one’s husband.

No wonder the other party was so unwelcome in this Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Seeing her looking up at the empty plaque, Gu Tingshu couldn’t help but lower his head, feeling uneasy.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the woman’s voice in his ear, “After we finish eating, I’ll help you write a plaque. What would you like to call this courtyard?”

Gu Tingshu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head. “You…” Was she admitting her identity as his spouse? For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, various feelings flashing through.

Thinking about many things, his hands couldn’t help but feel a bit sweaty.

It seemed like he had never been this nervous before getting married.

“Um, any name is fine,” he said, turning his head away, too embarrassed to look at her.

Zhao Xian glanced at the courtyard plaque, then looked at him and thought for a moment before saying, “Oh, then let’s call it Ting Shu Garden!”

“Thank… thank you, wife, for the name.” Gu Tingshu felt his hand being held was sweating.

“⊙⊙!…” Being suddenly called like this made Zhao Xian feel really uncomfortable, but this was the law of survival in this world, and she couldn’t change it.

“Cough… Let’s go! I’m hungry…”

“Oh, okay…”

The two entered the courtyard and headed towards Gu Tingshu’s room.

“You sit down first, I’ll go next door to check on Lan’er.”

“Alright…” Zhao Xian nodded, watching the hurried figure of the other person with a smile.

She surveyed his room; it was divided into two rooms, with one being the bedroom and the other serving as a small living room, where he would usually relax, drink tea, and have meals.

…

On the other side, Gu Tingshu arrived at the guest room and looked at the young man lying on the bed. He quickly walked to his side. “Lan’er, are you okay? The physician will be here soon, just hold on a little longer!”

Lan’er turned his head to him with a smile. “Master, I’m fine. I just need to rest for a while. I won’t be able to cook for you today, my poor master. I thought your life would be better after marrying the Prime Minister, but I didn’t expect…” Lan’er couldn’t help but cry.

Gu Tingshu held his hand. “Lan’er, don’t cry. I’m fine, and I’ve seen the Prime Minister. She has already arranged for a physician for you. You’ll be fine soon.”

Lan’er was stunned, “Really? Is the Prime Minister very scary? Did she bully you?” Lan’er was still worried about this.

Standing at the door and listening to the conversation between the master and servant, Zhao Xian’s mouth twitched. It seemed that her terrifying reputation was indeed well-known to all!

She was truly an object of fear for everyone!

…

Just as she was thinking about it, a familiar voice came to his ears, “This old servant pays respects to the mistress.”

Zhao Xian just glanced at the woman in her forties and said calmly, “Steward, I wasn’t aware that this household has become so poor that it can’t even afford to hire a physician.” Zhao Xian looked at the woman kneeling before her.

Upon hearing this, the woman instantly collapsed to the ground with a thud, her face clearly showing how scared she was.
