Liu Ji suddenly leaned over, almost causing Qin Yao, who was plowing the field, to stumble.
She nearly couldn't resist raising the hoe and giving him a whack.
But as if someone anticipated the danger, he directly snatched the hoe from her hand, tossed it aside, and continued to bend over, crying on her shoulder about the grievances he suffered at the National Master Mansion today.
"Wife, you have no idea! That Sikong Jian is truly awful. They conspired loudly right in front of me to send people to chase down Wang Jin who had left the city, but instead of catching him, they were counterattacked by a mysterious expert. And without even investigating, they pinned it on you!"
"Do you think I could just sit and do nothing?"
"You're my wife, if I don't protect you, who will?"
"I told Sikong Jian that you sleep until late every day, how could you possibly have the time to help Wang Jin kill the assassin Bai He they sent?"
"But he still doesn't believe me!"
