The Heir of the Duke of Wei and His Wife Were Actually into Fourth Love!

Tu Qingchen looked helpless, silently pleading in his heart.

Oh, my little ancestor, please settle down! This was all because of you!

Emperor Chu Ming and Chu Hongle both struggled to suppress their laughter.

Siqing's reaction was just too adorable! Bringing her to court had been well worth it!

At the Left Censor-in-Chief's abrupt change of tune, the ministers at court could not help twitching their lips, utterly speechless.

Those opposed to the Holy Maiden attending court cast reproachful looks at him.

Wang Zhengde, where was your backbone as a civil official? How could you switch sides so quickly?!

The Left Censor-in-Chief paid those reproachful looks no mind.

Unlike those treacherous ministers with guilty consciences, he had previously opposed the Holy Maiden attending court to hear state affairs only because he genuinely believed she was too young and her presence violated protocol.

Having witnessed the Holy Maiden's abilities, he was already convinced, heart and soul. Of course he would no longer object.

Moreover, the Left Censor-in-Chief was grateful to the Holy Maiden from the bottom of his heart. Without her inner voice, how could he have understood the root of his problem?

Perhaps before long, once he had slimmed down his chest, his wife would be willing to share his bed again?!

While the Left Censor-in-Chief lost himself in fantasies of reconciling with his wife, the other opposing ministers could no longer hold back, and another stepped forward to address Emperor Chu Ming.

This time, it was Duke Wei. He too opposed the Holy Maiden attending court because he felt it violated protocol.

Duke Wei declared sternly, "A woman attending court to hear state affairs already flies in the face of the proper order, and the Holy Maiden is still a child besides. If word gets out, everyone under heaven will call our Great Chu's conduct absurd!"

Hmph! Those ministers harboring sinister motives dared not step forward, but he was different!

Duke Wei believed he walked straight and sat upright. There was nothing he could not tell others!

Emperor Chu Ming began to feel another headache coming on.

Duke Wei had spent his life on horseback and won great military merit for Great Chu. Though honorable in his conduct, he was stubborn by nature and would likely be difficult to persuade.

Just then, Chu Siqing unearthed another juicy piece of gossip from the system.

[What?! The Heir of the Duke of Wei has a penchant for cross-dressing, and his favorite thing is dressing as a young married woman and going out at night with his wife?!]

The moment the Holy Maiden's inner voice rang out, the ministers grew excited again.

Duke Wei had risen through military merit, but his wife had suffered a fright while giving birth, causing the heir to be born prematurely. Sickly from childhood, he had been unable to practice martial arts and follow in his father's footsteps, and had only done some studying at home.

Though the heir's health was poor, he was extraordinarily handsome and refined, and his literary talent was renowned far and wide.

Rumor had it that he had even caused quite a few noble young ladies to fight over him at a poetry gathering.

Who would have thought such an elegant young gentleman secretly enjoyed wearing women's clothing, and even dared go out at night dressed as a woman with his wife?

Since the Heir of the Duke of Wei held no official post and did not attend court, no one could see his reaction, leaving them somewhat skeptical.

Duke Wei, meanwhile, turned livid with disbelief.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

His son might be somewhat frail and scholarly, but he was a genuine man. How could he dress as a woman to go out with his daughter-in-law?

Even if his son wanted to, his daughter-in-law would never agree!

The Holy Maiden's inner voice was utterly absurd!

Just as everyone's curiosity reached a fever pitch, the Holy Maiden's inner voice sounded again.

[At last year's Lantern Festival, the Heir of the Duke of Wei dressed as a married woman and even left his wife's younger brother pining for him!]

Lord Liu, the General Who Guards the State, immediately looked displeased.

After returning from last year's Lantern Festival, his son had indeed said he had fallen for a married woman who had gone out with his daughter. His daughter had worn a peculiar expression then, saying only that the woman already had a husband.

Because his son had coveted another man's wife, Lord Liu had given him a sound thrashing!

He had never imagined that the married woman his son had fallen for was actually his daughter's husband dressed as a woman!

Seeing the expression on Lord Liu's face, those shrewd ministers understood at once. He was Duke Wei's in-law, after all.

Everything the Holy Maiden's inner voice had said was actually true!

Now everyone's faces lit up with excitement. They wished they could see for themselves just what heavenly beauty the Heir of the Duke of Wei became when dressed as a young married woman, to have left his wife's younger brother pining for him!

A younger brother falling for his cross-dressing brother-in-law, with his own sister right there-what an enormous bucket of melodramatic scandal!

Duke Wei was already swaying on his feet.

He wished he could go home immediately, drag out that wretched son who not only loved dressing as a woman but also stirred up trouble everywhere, and break his legs!

Just when everyone thought this gossip was juicy enough, the Holy Maiden's inner voice sounded again.

[Hmm? Is this heir really Duke Wei's biological son?]

At those words, everyone turned toward Duke Wei with gossip-hungry eyes.

In fact, some had long harbored suspicions. Duke Wei was rugged and powerfully built, while the heir was delicate and handsome. Calling them father and son really did seem a little dubious.

Duke Wei flushed crimson and glared back at every colleague who suspected he wore a cuckold's green hat.

Utter nonsense! The heir was his own flesh and blood! Wasn't it perfectly normal for a son to take after his mother?

Chu Siqing had the system investigate and said regretfully, [Aw, he really is his son. The heir just takes after the duchess.]

Duke Wei's heart finally settled, the stain of that cuckold's green hat washed clean at last.

However, he had relaxed far too soon.

The next moment, amazement filled the Holy Maiden's inner voice. [Good heavens, the Heir of the Duke of Wei and his wife really are ahead of their time. They're actually into fourth love?]

Everyone immediately exchanged glances, curious about this new term in the Holy Maiden's inner voice.

What was "fourth love"?

Since the Holy Maiden said they were "into" it, could it be what they were thinking?

Fortunately, the Holy Maiden's inner voice soon sounded again.

[It takes two hands to clap when it comes to the woman topping and the man bottoming. Looks like the Heir of the Duke of Wei and his wife are very compatible in bed!]

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The Heir of the Duke of Wei and his wife had the woman topping and the man bottoming in bed?

None of the ministers who had made it into court were clueless innocents.

Most knew perfectly well how a woman could "top" and a man could "bottom." They were hardly people who had never seen the world.

Who didn't know about toys? It seemed the heir and his wife played all sorts of inventive games!

With the heir absent, everyone could only direct their gossip-hungry gazes at his father, Duke Wei.

Duke Wei's vision went black.

His daughter-in-law, Liu, came from a military family, and both her fighting skills and her temperament pleased him greatly.

He had thought that although his son was frail and useless, as long as Liu balanced him out and bore him a worthy grandson, he could still carry on the family's glory.

Who would have thought these two were engaging in this "woman topping, man bottoming" business? How could they possibly make a child that way?!

Duke Wei's face alternated between green and white. Unable to take his anger out on his son, who was still at home, he could only direct a resentful glare at the General Who Guards the State.

Old Liu, what kind of daughter had you raised?! She had actually topped my son! Utterly disgraceful!

The General Who Guards the State was also utterly stunned. He had never imagined that his daughter, always so well-mannered, would do something so fierce!

Lord Liu coughed lightly, unable to help feeling a little guilty.

But he was no soft persimmon to be squeezed at will. Suddenly thinking of something, he immediately glared back.

If your son didn't love dressing as a woman and go around without a shred of manliness all day, would my daughter have turned out like this?

Your family couldn't wash its hands of this either!
