Chapter 12 Husband Pulled into Her Embrace ╯□╰

“Please spare me, Your Excellency! I really don’t know what I did wrong!”

Zhao Xian listened to the other party’s sincere voice and sneered coldly. She had seen plenty of opportunistic people like this before.

However, she didn’t care before, but that won’t necessarily be the case in the future.

“I don’t want to know the truth, but if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being rude.” Zhao Xian said, slamming her palm against the door.

Originally, it was just a symbolic pat on the door.

But in the next moment, with a loud bang, the entire door collapsed.

“Your Excellency, please calm down…”

Seeing this terrifying scene, all the attendants and guards present immediately knelt down, their faces pale.

Wang Yun, the middle-aged steward of the Prime Minister’s Mansion kneeling on the ground turned pale with fright upon seeing the situation.

“Your Excellency, please spare my life. I understand, I won’t dare to do it again!” She felt like she had been given a second chance at life.

Zhao Xian ignored everyone and looked at her own hand, then glanced at the now ruined door.

Alright, she was just a little angry a moment ago, so she slapped it out. She only felt a surge of force from her arm, and then the door became like this.

Looking at the finely carved door, she couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “This is an antique!” In modern times, this would be worth countless amounts of money. She couldn’t help but sigh when she thought about it.

However, it’s a pity that this isn’t the modern era, and these things can’t be moved to the present day.

But at least she finally knew how to use the original owner’s strength. This combat power was simply off the charts.

Suppressing her somewhat excited mood, Zhao Xian calmly said, “Let the physician come in and take a look.”

“Yes, yes…” Wang Yun wiped away the cold sweat.

Even the physician kneeling on the side was frightened.

This Prime Minister was indeed not easy to get along with. It would be better to do more and say less, otherwise, she might not even know if she could walk out alive, and might end up entering upright but leaving sideways.

…

After the physician treated the attendants and prepared the medicine, he left.

Zhao Xian then said, “Notify the kitchen that from now on, the Prime Minister will eat all three meals here with the Lord Consort.” This way, perhaps no one would dare to neglect this man in the future, right?

Perhaps she felt some sympathy for his plight!

“Yes, this servant will prepare it right away,” the steward said respectfully before withdrawing.

Glancing at the door of the side hall, Zhao Xian’s expression stiffened. “Find someone to replace this door. It seems to have been neglected for a long time and has been hollowed out by insects.”

“Yes, as you command,” the steward said, looking at the broken door, sweat breaking out on her forehead.

It’s clearly quite new! Not a single trace of insect damage. Ah well! But since the Prime Minister said it’s been neglected for a long time, who would dare to say otherwise.

After the steward left, Zhao Xian said, “Let’s go eat?”

Gu Tingshu, who had been staring blankly for a while, coughed and nodded. “Okay, I’ll have someone bring the dishes in right away.”

…

In the outer room of Gu Tingshu’s chamber…

After the meal was prepared and arranged, the group of people respectfully stepped aside and stood aside respectfully…

After sitting down, Zhao Xian looked at the man beside her who was still standing and couldn’t help but frown. “Aren’t you hungry? Sit down and eat, why are you standing?”

Gu Tingshu was taken aback and sat down opposite her. “W-wife… please go ahead.”

Zhao Xian was momentarily taken aback by the term “wife,” but fortunately, her face was expressionless so he couldn’t tell.

The dishes on the table were abundant, and only Zhao Xian and Gu Tingshu dined together.

Zhao Xian ate quickly, perhaps because she was truly hungry, and she ate swiftly yet gracefully.

While she was eating, she couldn’t help but glance across the table and noticed that the man was just picking at his food, taking very little from the dishes.
