Chapter 1340 Negotiations with the Monarch_1

As a group of riders departed, Lian Jia was still stealthily scrutinizing Bai Ruozhu until Jiang Yichun gave him a displeased glare. He then realized that he had been staring at someone else's wife for far too long, which might lead to misunderstandings.

Feeling embarrassed, he touched his nose and coughed twice before saying, "Madam Bai is eloquent and persuasive, I am truly impressed."

Bai Ruozhu snickered, "It's just some verbal sparring among women. You men shouldn't argue with her either; it would only put you at a disadvantage. Isn't she keen on putting on a show in front of the commoners to craft a good image? I'll just indulge her then, let her accompany her dearly beloved husband. Although I can't punish her much, having her sent out of the city has at least temporarily cost the great elder one chess piece."
