How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 110 Superior Physique

Knowing that the couple needed to be alone and have some private conversations, Song Yin tactfully went to the kitchen to prepare tea.

As he walked, he kept thinking about what had happened that day, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It felt as if a raging fire was burning in his chest.

After reaching the kitchen, he quickly picked up the teapot and gulped down two large pots of tea. The icy tea slid down his throat and into his stomach, bringing a chill, which was the only way he could calm his anger slightly.

Not long after, Zhou Yun finished her shift and hurried over.

She was thinking about her husband, and when she arrived, there were even a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

But when she heard from Song Yin about what had happened that afternoon, she was instantly engulfed in anger. She raised her right hand and slapped her thigh hard, cursing loudly.

"This shameless scoundrel dares to make a move on Shi An? He's utterly audacious and lawless! It's outrageous! What a piece of trash!!!"

Standing to the side, Song Yin felt indignant seeing Zhou Yun's anger, but she quickly tried to comfort her.

"Don't get angry, don't ruin your health. Don't worry, we absolutely cannot let this go!"

However, in stark contrast to the emotionally charged Zhou Yun and Song Yin was the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu).

She appeared remarkably calm and composed at that moment. Sitting quietly in her chair, she slowly reached out, picked up a delicate teacup from the table, blew on the tea foam, and carefully took a small sip.

"There's no need for such a big fuss. Let's hold off for now and discuss everything after the imperial examination is over."

Hearing this, Zhou Yun thought of something, sighed, and patted Chu Ci's shoulder with a hint of comfort: "This time it was really too much. If it weren't for the upcoming imperial examination... sigh, I'm sorry you had to suffer, my good junior sister."

Chu Ci smiled slightly upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes like a bottomless pool, making it difficult to fathom their deeper meaning.

She said softly.

"Senior sister, don't worry. Actually, the one who was truly wronged was not me, but my husband. He is honest and unassuming, yet he suffered such a fright for no reason. It's truly heartbreaking. This matter will not be left unresolved."

Chu Ci recalled the scene at that time. If he hadn't returned in time, and if An hadn't had Song Yin by his side, that fool would have hesitated to act directly.

Otherwise, Shi An would really be forcibly abducted by her in the street.

Just thinking about the potentially serious consequences made her... want to go crazy and kill everyone.

Under the very nose of the Emperor, there actually exists such lawless and reckless scoundrels, it's truly...

Thinking of this, Chu Ci suddenly put down his teacup, turned to Zhou Yun with a serious expression, and asked.

"The one in charge of the Court of Judicial Review, isn't he going to deal with this kind of thing? How has the security situation in the capital become so chaotic?"

Upon hearing Chu Ci's question, Zhou Yun couldn't help but show a bitter expression. After letting out a long sigh, she answered.

"Junior sister, please don't mention that filthy thing. She's from the Turbid Sect, and she has a very powerful backer. She's always been arrogant, domineering, and unscrupulous. Countless wrongful convictions are due to her. Tian Fengmei is a complete piece of trash who only cares about money and doesn't care about right or wrong at all. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about her."

After saying this, Zhou Yun angrily picked up her teacup, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, even swallowing the tea leaves in the cup. Then she clenched her teeth tightly, as if she hated that woman to the core.

"If it weren't for her, Old Xiao wouldn't have..."

At this point, Zhou Yun felt a little upset and quickly waved her hand, "Never mind, never mind..."

Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly sensing an unusual aura, and pressed, "Wait a minute, tell me, just how powerful is this person's background?"

Zhou Yun coughed lightly, carefully leaned close to Chu Ci's ear, and whispered, "That's the only beloved daughter of the Emperor's own elder sister—the late Princess Huiyuan! Just imagine how powerful her backing must be!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci fell into deep thought, pausing briefly before slowly speaking, "I see..."

A moment later, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. "Alright, let's not talk about such boring things for now. Speaking of which, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll have Shi An prepare it."

Although that's what she said, when she actually started cooking, Chu Ci took on almost all the work herself.

She skillfully handled various cooking utensils, and in no time, a large pot of fragrant oil-splashed noodles was ready.

As soon as Zhou Yun and Song Yin received the noodles, their eyes lit up, and they eagerly picked up their chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

The two were so engrossed in eating that they couldn't even utter a single word.

After quickly finishing her first bowl, Zhou Yun got up without hesitation and strode to the kitchen to fill another bowl for herself.

After all, she had been visiting Chu Ci's house frequently during this period, and she already knew the layout of her kitchen by heart.

Chu Ci looked Zhou Yun up and down, his gaze moving slowly as if trying to take in every subtle change in her.

After a while, she said directly, "Have you gained weight recently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing. He barely managed to stop laughing and said breathlessly, "That's right! This guy has been coming here all the time after court to freeload meals lately. He's already gained five or six pounds!"

Zhou Yun didn't seem to care about their teasing at all. Instead, she laughed heartily and replied nonchalantly, "I was already too thin, so gaining a little weight is a good thing. Even my teacher said I look better lately."

As she spoke, she bumped into Chu Ci, but she couldn't budge him at all.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yun raised her eyebrows and glanced at her with slight surprise. Then she raised her hand and gently squeezed Chu Ci's arm.

With a slight squeeze, you can feel the firm and elastic muscles.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, "You've got something... You always seem so tall and thin, I never expected... um..."

At this moment, Song Yin winked at Shi An and teased with a smile, "Look at your wife's figure, it's absolutely perfect. You're very lucky!"

"Cough cough cough..." Shi An was drinking sweet water, and when he said this, he almost choked.
