Shen Yu shook his head but didn't say anything. It was a good plan, and he had already promised to let her do whatever she wanted with the Empire anyways.
He knew she was very ruthless and it was a good thing for someone like her. So, he wasn't that worried about her. She had already did the dirty politics for many years and had survived it.
But most of the time, she had been on defensive mode since she didn't have a good backing. Now, however, she had the best backing so she could finally let loose.
"By the way, Master, would you like to meet mom? I'm sure she'll be happy to meet my husband."
Qing Zhiyan asked, a warm happy smile playing on her lips. There was also redness on her cheeks when she said the word husband.
Shen Yu grinned, and held her chin, making her face rise up.
"Tell me, Zhiyan, don't you think I'm too handsome?"
Although confused by his actions, Qing Zhiyan answered honestly nonetheless.
"Master is the most handsome, and charming man alive. There is no doubt about it."
His grin spread wider as he brought her mouth closer to her ears and whispered.
"Then what if your mother ends up falling for me? Would you mind sharing your husband with your mother?"
He was just teasing her and was expecting various reaction, but he only heard a light laugh filled with amusement.
He frowned and backed away, looking at Qing Zhiyan who was giggling and trying to contain it by putting her hand on her mouth.
Seeing his confused look, the amusement in her eyes grew and she finally calmed down. She took Shen Yu's hands in her hand and said, her voice turning serious.
"Master, I'm sorry I'm saying this but I love my mother the most in this world. I have already mentioned it but I'll say it again, the only reason I am alive is because of her. Not just because she saved me from others but also because she saved me from myself."
A wry smile appeared on her lips as she continued.
Qing Zhiyan's eyes turned crescent as her smiled grew wider. She laughed and jumped in his arms, shouting.
"Master is the best. I love you, Master!!"
Shen Yu was taken back by her reaction, but he also understood where she was coming from. He smiled and returned her hug with a smile on his face.
"I love you too!"
They spent a good quality time, doing nothing but enjoy the warmth and relaxation they gave each other.
Shen Yu had to admit that Qing Zhiyan was different from his other wives who was ravishing and made him want to make a move on them.
On the other hand, Qing Zhiyan was so cute and exuded such a innocent aura that he couldn't muster up any dirty thoughts.
'Now that I think about it, she is the only true cute girl in my harem. Others are cute too but that's a different category.'
[Master...I really am speechless.]
'You are talking though?'
[...]
'Now that's more like it.'
Suddenly, Qing Zhiyan poked her head out from his arm and glared at him, with a small pout on her cute face.
"But master is really a pervert. You want both mother and daughter pair. Pervert."
"Oii! You're the one who suggested that."
"Hmph! Master is pervert nonetheless."
"Well, can't deny those accusations."
