After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 190 Not a Good Man

The General of the Cavalry was quite free, so of course he was there.

Seeing many burning gazes fixed on him, the General of the Cavalry crossed his arms.

Come to think of it, it seems that he and Fatty's adopted son really should get married.

An official asked, "I just realized that the son of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review calls you godfather."

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No problem, no problem, General. When are you and the Minister of Works going to arrange a marriage?"

The General of the Cavalry gave an awkward smile.

"Well, the child is still too young, what's the point of arranging a marriage?"

An official exclaimed in surprise, "General, your son is almost twenty-five this year!!!"

"Yes, that's right."

I'm 25 now, it really seems like it's time to settle down and start a family.

The General of the Cavalry was feeling guilty; he had truly forgotten about his adopted son's lifelong happiness.

Others noticed and couldn't help but gossip.

"When two men are parents, they tend to forget about their children's marriage. Sometimes, it's better for women to handle certain things."

The General of the Cavalry picked at his ear impatiently.

"So what if he's not married yet? It's not a big deal. If he wanted to get married, he would have told us long ago. The fact that he hasn't means he doesn't want to get married."

"You don't want to get married? Then tell me about the ninth daughter of the Minister of Works."

The General of the Cavalry was speechless, but Shen Zhiyi had a lot to say.

[While the Ninth Prince was talking to the adopted son of the Minister of Justice, little did he know that his sister was currently seducing the man she liked. Now that he's here to have his marriage predicted, your sweetheart is practically bewitched by your sister, the Eighth Prince.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, most importantly, Ninth Prince has already told his aunt about this, and the aunt also told the First Wife, the wife of the Minister of Works, yesterday. When the Minister of Works returns today, his wife will tell him about it.]

Therefore, this marriage is a disaster. It should be cut off before the wedding. If they get married and her husband becomes entangled with her eighth sister, it will be too dramatic.

Shen Zhiyi looked at the other person's hands and shook her head repeatedly, her expression very serious.

The system discovered that the host's acting skills could actually be passable at times.

The ninth daughter of the Minister of Works felt a pang of anxiety.

"what happened?"

"Girl, your sweetheart is not a good match."

Ninth Sister said unhappily, "What's wrong with it? He's a very nice person."

"It's better? How is it better?"

"He..." Ninth Sister said shyly, "He cooked me a bowl of porridge himself."

"puff."

Shen Zhiyi couldn't hold back anymore.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back anymore.

[Hahahaha, I can't believe it! There's a real-life version too! Hahaha.]

Under the astonished gaze of the Ninth Sister, Shen Zhiyi turned her back, squatted on the ground, and burst into wild laughter.

I can't stand it any longer.

The Minister of Justice and the General of the Cavalry strictly controlled their adopted son's monthly allowance to prevent him from developing a wasteful nature. Unexpectedly, their control went too far, creating a miserly child.

Other noble young men use jewels and ornaments to win a girl's heart, but the adopted son of our Minister of Justice and General of the Cavalry just cooks a bowl of porridge. I can't believe it, hahaha.

The system thought the man was really stingy, but it didn't understand why the host was laughing so exaggeratedly.

[Host, what are you laughing at?]

[What are you laughing at? You don't even know that meme? Is your boss some kind of old-fashioned relic who didn't add popular internet slang to your system? Oh well, never mind, I'll just laugh it off myself.]

Shen Zhiyi laughed until tears streamed down her face.

She wasn't the only one laughing; upstairs, quite a few officials were also secretly suppressing their laughter.

The General of the Cavalry had a dark expression on his face, and his hands were itching to be used.

"Minister of Works, it was my brat who wronged you. Just you wait, I will make him come to your mansion to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back."

The Minister of Works was speechless and choked with emotion.

Right now, only insiders know about it, but if you kneel down, then everyone in the entire capital will know.

"General, that won't be necessary."

"But I'm curious, how much silver do you give your adopted son each month?"

"One tael of silver, what's wrong?"

The officials present were astonished.

"Just one or two taels of silver?"

The General of the Cavalry nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's just one or two taels of silver. What would he need so much silver for? He eats and lives at home and doesn't need to buy rice or oil. What would he need so much silver for? He'd use it for eating, drinking, and having fun."

"That's true, but this is still too little."

"Oh dear, the discussion is about why the money is too little. It's my unfilial son who deserves to be taught a lesson. Don't worry, Minister of Works, I will definitely give your daughter a proper explanation."

At this moment, Ninth Sister stood up angrily and said to Shen Zhiyi, "Why are you making fun of me? I came to you to have my marriage fortune told, not to be laughed at."

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhi immediately composed himself and apologized to the guest.

"Sorry, sorry, I just suddenly thought of something funny, cough cough cough."

"Girl, your sweetheart is not a good match. There won't be a good outcome between you. I suggest you break up with him and find someone else."

"How can it be!"

Ninth Sister didn't believe it, thinking that Shen Zhiyi was playing a trick on her.

Shen Zhiyi never tries to dissuade people from being love-struck, so she did the same this time.

"I'll only say what I've calculated; whether you think it's a good match for me is your own business."

"Your sweetheart is currently hanging his name on the big tree in front of the Temple of the Matchmaker with your eighth sister."

Ninth Sister's lips trembled as she shook her head desperately: "Impossible, this is impossible."

“He clearly told me that we would be together for life, never to leave each other, so how could he hang a marriage tree with someone else?”

"So he's not a good man."

Ninth Sister: "That's just your side of the story, unless I see it with my own eyes."

[You saw it with your own eyes?]

Shen Zhiyi glanced at the surveillance footage; it was clear that the two people weren't going to leave anytime soon.

She simply picked up the bundle on the table, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon."

Being able to act immediately is a fine tradition of Shen Zhiyi.

Ninth Sister hesitated, pointing at Shen Zhiyi's stall, "Yours..."

"It's nothing, just a table and a chair, which were brought over from the city government."

City Hall: Thank you.

Seeing Shen Zhiyi and Ninth Miss leave, all the civil and military officials who had been watching the commotion hurriedly followed.

The fun that the General of the Cavalry and the Minister of Works have at home is something you shouldn't miss.

The person involved looked sullen; it seems he can't save face today.

But they seem to have lost face too.

Whatever, let it be.

The Minister of Works sighed slightly, and was about to say something to the General of the Cavalry when he saw the other party pull out a large iron rod from somewhere.

"What... what's going on here?"

"Beat him up and stop him from yelling."
