I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Sending off the Lord in Chapter 591

Chapter 591 See you off thousands of miles away

Inside the sedan chair, Wang Wenzhou held Empress Zhou's hand, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at her tenderly, saying, "Sister-in-law, let's talk this over, okay? Don't go! I don't want you to leave!"

"Alas..." Empress Zhou sighed and said softly, "Boxin, even a thousand-mile journey to see you off must come to an end. Don't see me off any longer, I should go now."

Wang Wenzhou embraced Empress Zhou and gave her a deep kiss.

After the kiss, Wang Wenzhou said in a serious tone, "Sister-in-law, why don't you stay in the capital and be with me? What's wrong with that? If you still want to be empress, I'll rebel for you right now. With my talent, that pig Zhu Youjian will be finished sooner or later. When I become emperor, you'll still be empress."

Empress Zhou gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look. This rascal dared to say anything, but Empress Zhou believed that if she stayed in Hanshan, this rascal would really rebel for her sake.

"Alright, stop fooling around!" Empress Zhou gently stroked Wang Wenzhou's face and said softly, "Even if you become emperor, the empress will probably be either Liu Rushi or Sheng Lan. How could it be me?"

"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was on the verge of tears. How could he be so stupid as to dig his own hole?

"Alright, I really should go now!" Empress Zhou stood up, intending to get out of the sedan chair.

Wang Wenzhou knelt down with a thud, hugged Empress Zhou's leg, and said plaintively, "Sister-in-law, please, don't leave! I really can't bear to see you go!"

"Sigh..." Empress Zhou's eyes welled up with tears. These past few days, she had been sleeping with her nemesis. It would be a lie to say she hadn't developed feelings for him, but she had to return to the capital. She was still Zhu Youjian's empress, and it wouldn't be right for her to stay by Wang Wenzhou's side all the time.

"Boxin, don't do this!" Empress Zhou complained.

Although Empress Zhou was someone else's wife, Wang Wenzhou really couldn't bear to let her go. He was like a dog guarding its food; it might not eat the food in its own bowl, but it wouldn't let anyone else touch it, or it would bite anyone who did.

Wang Wenzhou said, feeling wronged, "Sister-in-law, why don't we sleep a little longer? I really haven't had enough sleep with you!"

"Get up! Why are you kneeling on the ground?" Empress Zhou always felt that Wang Wenzhou, this troublesome fellow, often acted like a naughty child in front of her, doing whatever came to mind.

Wang Wenzhou stood up and carried Empress Zhou to the bed.

After being tormented by her nemesis, Empress Zhou lay in bed, looking at Wang Wenzhou beside her. A thought flashed through her mind: if she hadn't returned to the capital and stayed with her nemesis, she would surely be very happy. Thinking this, Empress Zhou shook her head repeatedly. How could she think such a thing?

Empress Zhou gently stroked Wang Wenzhou's face and said softly, "Boxin, I really should go now!"

"Sister-in-law..." Before Wang Wenzhou could finish speaking, Empress Zhou kissed him.

After the kiss, Empress Zhou got up and dressed. Wang Wenzhou watched her silently, feeling a deep reluctance. He was at his wit's end; he had tried everything—rolling around on the ground, begging and pleading—but his sister-in-law still wanted to leave. Suddenly, Wang Wenzhou's eyes reddened. So, his sister-in-law didn't love him!

"I'm leaving!" Empress Zhou said.

"Get out!" Wang Wenzhou regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. How could he tell his sister-in-law to get out?

Empress Zhou lifted the sedan curtain and hurried away, her face already streaked with tears. She dared not look back, fearing that her nemesis would see her in this state and would surely pester her relentlessly to prevent her from leaving. Empress Zhou felt that if she continued to entangle herself with her nemesis, she truly wouldn't want to leave.

Empress Zhou wiped away her tears, got into the carriage, and said, "Wang Chengen, let's go."

"Yes!" Wang Chengen hurriedly instructed the coachman to hurry on their way.

The carriage started moving, and Wang Wenzhou, wearing only shorts, ran out of the sedan chair and shouted at the carriage with all his might, "Sister-in-law, I love you! Please don't go! I'll do anything if you stay!"

Empress Zhou forced herself not to cry. She quickly lowered the carriage curtain and said somewhat guiltily, "Boxin has drunk too much again today."

“Yes!” Wang Chengen nodded and agreed, “Wang Wenzhou is drunk, he’s like he’s gone mad.”

Wang Chengen was a eunuch and had never been in a relationship, but he wasn't stupid; he understood the dynamics between the male protagonists. But what could he do? He couldn't go back and tell Zhu Youjian about it. If Zhu Youjian found out, the couple would be fighting all the time.

"Sister-in-law! Do you love me or not? Sister-in-law, say something!" Wang Wenzhou chased after the carriage, shouting as he ran.

Empress Zhou hurriedly ordered, "Make the carriage go faster."

Empress Zhou was truly afraid that Wang Wenzhou would catch up and forcibly remove her from the carriage; if that happened, she might not be able to return to the capital.

"Yes!" Wang Chengen hurriedly instructed the driver to run as fast as possible and not let the mad dog catch up.

Wang Wenzhou watched the departing carriage with lingering reluctance, and sighed helplessly, "My sister-in-law doesn't love me!"

Only after the carriage was completely out of sight did Wang Wenzhou return to his sedan chair.

"Pat pat!" Wang Wenzhou patted the sedan chair and ordered, "Jian Fengyu, send someone to tell Lan Lan that I am ill and that she should come quickly to see me one last time."

"Yes!" Jian Fengyu quickly accepted the order and left.

A short while later, Sheng Lan rushed over. She had already found out what had happened from Jian Fengyu. Her nemesis had been wronged again.

Sheng Lan got into the sedan chair, sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked Wang Wenzhou's face, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Lazy Lan!" Wang Wenzhou hugged Sheng Lan, buried his head in her arms, and cried, "My sister-in-law doesn't love me!"

"Alright! She doesn't love you, but I do!" Sheng Lan was both amused and exasperated. This guy was really shameless; not only did he sleep with someone else's wife, but he also wanted to steal her away. Good heavens, that's the Empress! Sleeping with her is one thing, but to actually steal her away—even if Zhu Youjian liked being cuckolded, he wouldn't tolerate it.

"Lazy Lan is so much better! Why didn't I meet my sister-in-law sooner? If I had met her earlier, she would definitely have fallen in love with me! Then she wouldn't have had to suffer with Zhu Youjian!" Wang Wenzhou sobbed in Sheng Lan's arms, feeling wronged.

"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed, gently patting Wang Wenzhou's back like she was soothing a child. This rascal is truly a fickle soul. He sees a pretty girl, wants to sleep with her, and after sleeping with her, wants to marry her. He doesn't care about her status at all.

Just then, at the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion, Wang Wenzhou's babies held a meeting. Sheng Lan had been attending the meeting but left after overhearing Wang Wenzhou's whining.

Liu Rushi said coldly, "The little bitch is finally gone, but we sisters must keep a close eye on our nemesis and not let him run wild again! Bringing any girl home like that, is that even right?"

Li Mei, Mu Yiyun, and Li Ling blushed. "You little bitch, are you talking about us? Don't you know who you are? You were just a prostitute."

Liu Rushi changed her tone and said softly, "We are all family. The sisters all know what kind of person our husband is, so I won't say more. This time our husband is going to Fujian, and many of the sisters can't go with him. After all, we still have children to take care of, and Sister Wang Ying is also pregnant. The journey will be tiring, so she can't go either."

Chen Yuanyuan quickly declared, "Don't worry, sisters, I will definitely keep an eye on that rascal and prevent him from doing anything reckless!"

After the meeting, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan were furious because Liu Rushi had used the excuse of needing their help taking care of the child to prevent them from going to Fujian with Wang Wenzhou. The two spies thought it was better that they didn't go; they could take this opportunity to seduce the young racing prodigy.
