Chapter 133: Pouring Out One's True Feelings
Half an hour later.
All the elders, including Song Qingfeng, firmly believed that Wu Yuan had creativity. They asked not only financial questions but also some daily governance issues, although Wu Yuan did not answer or provide answers to all of them, several of his responses were enough to surprise everyone.
Many things just need to break through that layer of membrane and everything will be clear. Everyone has been stuck here for a long time, Wu Yuan's answer made them suddenly enlightened.
When the last question of Kuang Shi Bo was answered by Wu Yuan, a warm applause echoed through the entire hall. All the elders were applauding, and everyone was impressed by Wu Yuan's talent and demeanor.
The financial knowledge described by Wu Yuan was like opening a big door, and the maids could see countless treasures behind the door. The difficult problems that had plagued the Western Liang State for hundreds of years were not only easily solved, but also produced extremely good results.
The way people address Wu Yuan has changed from "you" to "you", and no one sees her as a country girl anymore.
"So, Jiayu, why did you want us to be on guard? And also mobilize the elite guards here?"
After confirming Wu Yuan's creativity, Song Qingfeng asked in a puzzled tone, "We thought you wanted to use force to suppress it."
If it hadn't been for these actions, the elders wouldn't have come to Qingquan Manor and so many things wouldn't have happened.
"Idiot."
She gave her sister a heavy knock on the head and said in a resentful tone.
"Wu Meiniang is our treasure, what if other countries find out about her existence, like Dongyang's female country. My sister, will she send people to snatch her?"
Of course. The Daughterland is not a perfect paradise, especially when precious things are discovered. Every country has countless troubles to solve, what if the king of Dongliang invites Wu Yuan as a guest?
It was just like earlier, several elderly women vying to invite Wu Yuan to their homes as a guest, completely disregarding Wu Yuan's notorious reputation - not long ago, everyone thought this rural woman might be a female wolf in sheep's clothing.
Facing Song Jiayu's answer, Song Qingfeng nodded. Such a good girl, how can she be taken away by another country?
After asking, Song Qingfeng came to Wu Yuan's front, half-kneeling on the ground, and said with the most sincere tone.
"Wu Niang, I'm sorry. Today, I hurt you and almost committed an unforgivable mistake. Please punish me."
"Okay, you lie down on the chair."
Wu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a ruler from the table and swung it. He heavily slapped Song Qingfeng's plump buttocks three times.
These three blows were extremely heavy, and Song Qingfeng didn't use her true energy to resist. Her face turned white in an instant, but she still didn't make a sound.
"That sword didn't hurt me, and since you're Jiayu's sister, I spared your face and only hit you three times. Consider the matter settled. Use your internal energy to heal your wounds; I won't remember that incident again."
Wu Yuan nodded and put away the ruler, then said to Song Jiayu:
"Your Majesty, may I withdraw? Gentlemen of the council, I am willing to serve the Queen, her will is my will!"
He bowed deeply to the elders and left the room with a smile, Wu Yuan.
Behind him, Song Jiayu also smiled and walked forward, following Wu Yuan as he left. However, her gaze occasionally swept over the ruler in Wu Yuan's sleeve, her expression somewhat complex.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Staring at the kneeling captain of the guard in front of her, Song Jiayu's face was as cold as ice. It was this person who had secretly colluded with the elders, causing a lot of trouble.
"It is your subject's fault, your subject deserves to die ten thousand times."
Three had no excuse and didn't say it was for Song Jiayu's own good, so she did all these things. She just waited for Song Jiayu's verdict.
"Go join the pioneer troops and serve for three years."
When it came to the deadline, Song Jiayu glanced at Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan smiled and nodded at her. This expression made Song Jiayu feel relieved. The captain of the guard had grown up with her, like a sibling, and although this time's mess had made her very angry, sometimes things could only be done this way.
After bowing to Wu Yuan and Song Jiayu, the Shang Wei Chang withdrew. Her expression was complex, but also a kind of relief.
When she stepped down, Song Jiayu stood hastily and uneasily in front of Wu Yuan.
I thought Wu Yuan would follow her plan today, but unexpectedly, Wu Yuan chose to confront. Standing in front of Wu Yuan, the queen didn't have her usual arrogance, but instead had a few more parts of unease.
"The punishment is a bit too light, isn't it? It's like I only gave your sister three slaps on the wrist today. How can I put it, this is called 'highly raised and lightly dropped'."
Wu Yuan had just finished beating Song Qingfeng, and the ruler was tucked into his bosom. Now he took it out and was fiddling with it in his hand.
"Wu brother...... I also have some faults, I don't know, what kind of punishment do you want?"
"Punishment? I just found out from Qingfeng today, the true face of Her Majesty the Queen. Unbelievable! My lifelong reputation was so easily deceived by you. Just like when I arrived at Qingspring Manor, you as Her Majesty, only had four attendants in the morning and spoke such a pile of nonsense."
"Right, Elder Sister Jia Yu, by giving the captain of the guard such a light punishment, are you trying to set an example for me, so that I will also go easy on you?"
Wu Yuan smiled and said with a hint of amusement, at this moment he recalled some provisions in the maid's law about the master's punishment for the maid.
"I..."
Song Jiayu was at a loss, looking at Wu Yuan.
"Jia Yu Jie, when I was talking to Qing Shuang, she said that if you were a minister, you would definitely be a treacherous one. I totally agree with her. Do you think I should continue to indulge you?"
"I don't want to be your master, and I appreciate your deep feelings, but I hope you understand that I am a man with my own dignity. Today, you made me play the pitiful one, as your private pet, without considering the dignity of us men at all. This makes me very angry, do you know?"
The ruler in Wu Yuan's hand drew circles, and many of the things that had been stirred up in recent days were the bitter fruits of Song Jia's own making.
"I..."
Song Jiayu was stunned at this moment, she knew she was wrong, but she didn't expect Wu Yuan's reaction to be so intense. In the war between men and women, it is often a step forward for you and a step back for me. As for this proud queen, Wu Yuan decided to deal with her properly after the elder meeting.
"Jia Yu, your martial arts skills far surpass mine, and you have grasped my greatest weakness. Now I ask you a question, are you wrong? Are you willing to accept punishment?"
Wu Yuan's voice was calm as he waited for Her Majesty's response.
"Master..."
Song Jiayu's gaze shifted, and today Wu Yuan's sudden display of authority made her suddenly understand that no matter how gentle and soft-spoken the man in front of her was, in reality, this person would not be controlled by others. Moreover... she actually liked this kind of masculine aura. As for subduing Wu Yuan or continuing to coerce him, Song Jiayu didn't think it was a good idea, and instead would cause them to completely break off their relationship.
"Hit me lightly, just a little..."
Her face suddenly turned red, and she fell forward onto Wu Yuan's body.
"Stand up straight, be more serious, good fish."
Wu Yuan is not the kind of man who becomes weak in the knees when he sees a woman. In the past, it was because there were live broadcasts, so he had to maintain a good image, but actually, his personality is that if things really don't work out, then he'll just break up cleanly.
Alright, some things need to be clarified. As for revealing the secrets of the Great Tang Empire and even the Earth's surface to the Maid Empire, Wu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
First of all, he is not a native of the Great Tang Empire. He crossed over from another earth and found that compared to the people on his original earth, Wu Yuan thought the maids on this earth were quite good, especially the cunning ones like Song Jiayu in front of him, who was actually a very nice girl.
"Jiayu, you and I have been probing each other between us two people. I have my secrets, and you also have things you want to protect. The reason why I won your heart is because I am the only man in this world."
"No, it's not like that, I really like you, you're a good person..."
Okay, Wu Yuan, who had been given a good person card, pulled Song Jiayu into his arms.
"We won't argue about this, let's talk about our relationship instead. You felt a sense of crisis today and thought of ways to hide my identity, which is normal, but now I have some things to say to you, if you really like me, please listen to these words before speaking again."
"Firstly, I am able to come into this world because of the Buddhist teachings. I can still stay in this world for two months and ten days, after which I will have to leave."
"What?"
Song Jiayu suddenly froze there, she grabbed Wu Yuan's arm, "I won't let you go! Don't go!"
"Don't worry, I can still come back, but it's hard to say when."
Wu Yuan patted Song Jiayu's shoulder and said, "I'm actually a messenger from another world. That world is different from yours. I'm like an interdimensional traveler who has come to explore your dimension. When the time comes, we can establish a space gate in your dimension that connects to our world."
However, it seems that there may be a big problem. Your world and our world will have a huge conflict. How to put it, in our world, the number of women and men is equal, with the same voting rights, and feminism is very popular, and a monogamous system is implemented.
