Ch 101: Heavens, Second Aunt Has It So Rough!
【Goodness, System, did I hear correctly? Zhong Zhenjia went whoring and picked up his own second aunt?!】 Shen Biluo said incredulously.
【Yes, after I triple-checked, I found that the person he picked up was indeed his second aunt! Even this widely-seen-everything System is a little dumbfounded…】 the System replied.
Shen Biluo’s eyes lit up; another interesting melon!
【System, quickly tell me how he picked up his own second aunt! The cause, the process, the result—we have to get the full scoop when eating melons!】 Shen Biluo said anxiously.
Court Officials: Princess Xi He is totally our spokesperson!
We want the full scoop too!
Mainly, the fact that he went whoring and picked up his own second aunt is too exciting, too compelling!
Zhong Junnan has never wanted the world to end so much.
Seeing the court officials looking like melon-eating crowds, he was furious.
You ministers, none of you are serious! All you do is eat melons, day in and day out!
After cursing in his heart, he remembered that he seemed to have enjoyed eating other people’s melons…
Zhong Junnan recalled that his wife did indeed have a younger sister, but she had passed away before.
Could it be that her younger sister didn’t die?
The System continued: 【Haha, Zhong Junnan’s wife, who is Zhong Zhenjia’s mother, had a second younger sister. When the second sister was little, she got seriously ill and passed away. Her family thought she was dead and buried her.】
Shen Biluo: 【Ah, no, so this really happened?! A person didn’t die, got buried, and then lived again?】
She had only seen this kind of thing in modern news; she thought it was fake.
【Right! It’s just that coincidental! No wonder it’s a melon!】 the System said.
Zhong Junnan suddenly realized that his sister-in-law’s husband had never died! He should go back and have his father-in-law open the coffin and have a look!
【Since the second aunt didn’t die, why didn’t she go home?】 Shen Biluo asked.
Zhong Junnan found Shen Biluo repeatedly calling her “second aunt” very irritating, but he couldn’t stop her, and felt very uncomfortable.
【The second aunt had just barely crawled out of the coffin; she was too weak, wanted to go home, but collapsed on the road! And then it started raining heavily!】 the System said.
【Goodness, the second aunt is so pitiful!】 Shen Biluo sighed.
Zhong Junnan: Can you stop calling her “second aunt”?!
【At that time, the poor second aunt was picked up by a human trafficker!】 the System continued.
The court officials sighed inwardly; this second aunt was also a person of bitter fate.
【It’s so coincidental that it was raining at that time, and the second aunt had a fever and then lost her memory! She couldn’t remember anything from before!】 the System continued.
【Goodness, then if she lost her memory, wouldn’t the human trafficker say whatever they wanted? They could do whatever they wanted to her!】 Shen Biluo said, feeling sympathy for the second aunt.
【Later, the human trafficker sold her to a household to be a servant. The second aunt stayed in that household for more than ten years.】
【Then later, that household had problems and dismissed all the servants. She wanted to come to Kyoto to develop, but she couldn’t do anything, and she looked relatively young, so she started working in the sex trade. The second aunt has had a really rough life!】 the System said.
Zhong Junnan finally understood what happened.
This time, he really got a taste of his own medicine!
That second aunt, oh, no, his sister-in-law’s husband, couldn’t stay in the brothel; he had to get her out!
And his disobedient son—he must punish him severely when he gets back!
【I’m saying, Zhong Zhenjia and his second aunt must have a considerable age difference, how could he like someone that much older?】
【It’s okay, it’s only a ten-year difference. The second aunt looked young, she hid her age, reported herself as five years younger, and completely charmed Zhong Zhenjia!】
【I’m curious about the size of Zhong Zhenjia’s psychological trauma after learning the truth…】 Shen Biluo said.
【And Zhong Junnan’s…】 the System added.
Zhong Junnan: My psychological trauma now is the size of the South China Sea…
Court Officials: Today’s melons were quite fulfilling! The Ministry of Justice really had some surprises!
Finally, the court dismissed, and Zhong Junnan rushed out of the court.
He went straight home.
That boy at home—he absolutely must make him suffer!
The court officials saw the Minister of Justice’s furious back, and knew that someone in his family was going to be unlucky…
I don’t know how Zhong Junnan will handle these matters…
I’m so curious, I really want to know!
They envied the Emperor, who can call the Princess over anytime to get the inside scoop…
The Grand Tutor felt that the Imperial Court could establish a reward system.
Whoever performs well can get a chance to be alone with Princess Xi He, so they can eat melons that others can’t!
Zhong Junnan returned home and sat in the main hall.
The servants saw that Master’s face was not right, and no one dared to speak.
“All of you get out, call Zhong Zhenjia over for me, and call Madam over as well.” Zhong Junnan said.
The servants didn’t dare to speak; Master called Zhong Zhenjia by his full name this time, not just Zhenjia.
He only called the young master by his full name when he was angry.
They didn’t know what happened, only that the young master was going to be in trouble.
The servants didn’t dare to neglect their duty, and all withdrew, with two people going to fetch the young master and Madam respectively.
Zhong Zhenjia and Madam Zhong, Yu Shi, both came in.
After the two came in, seeing that all the servants were gone, and Zhong Junnan’s face was not good, they exchanged a glance, not knowing what was about to happen.
Zhong Zhenjia was a little uneasy; could it be that his father had found out about his trip to the brothel…
If he found out, it wouldn’t matter, but what about his Qing’er? Would his father make things difficult for her?
He still wanted to redeem her…
“Zhong Zhenjia, what do you have to say to me?” Zhong Junnan said coldly, his whole person exuding a strong sense of pressure.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhong Zhenjia’s forehead; it’s over, he’s not afraid of anything else, only of his father calling him by his full name.
He feigned composure and said, “Fa-Father, what do you want to ask?”
When Yu Shi saw Zhong Junnan ask this, she knew her son had gotten into trouble, and that the evidence was conclusive.
She quickly said to her son, “Zhenjia, what did you do? Confess quickly, or you’ll be in for a beating later.”
Zhong Junnan’s lips trembled slightly, but he still didn’t dare to admit it, and said, “Father, your son doesn’t know what you want to say, could you be more specific…”
Zhong Junnan, seeing his son’s appearance, became even angrier, and directly slapped Zhong Zhenjia across the face.
He used a lot of force; Zhong Zhenjia was stunned by the slap, fell to the ground, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Yu Shi felt very distressed and quickly went to help her son up.
She also resented her husband; what was the matter, that he had to get so angry with his son?
“Tell me, where did your silver go!”
Zhong Zhenjia finally regained consciousness; his heart sank, it’s over, Dad seems to know everything!
He knelt on the ground, stammering and unable to speak.
“Tell me again, when you said you were studying with your classmates, where did you all go!” Zhong Junnan’s voice grew louder, making Zhong Zhenjia’s eardrums buzz.
