Chapter 108: Prime Minister Song Causes Trouble for the Child
As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, there is one misadventure after another among the young masters of the Prime Minister Song’s Mansion, each somehow entangled in romantic debts as if by appointment.
First, Song Zhiyu was framed into meeting a poor scholar who praised him a few times and then became sworn brothers. A few days later, he was invited to dine at the scholar’s house, and after a night, he found himself stark naked in the bed of the scholar’s sister, like a boiled chicken.
That was it, caught by the girl demanding responsibility, or else she would beat the drum of justice to lodge a complaint, which drove Song Zhiyu mad, so much that he wanted to take a knife and fight them.
They say Song Zhiyu is a man of fortune, but look at this mess he’s walked into; he’s even the protagonist of the spectacle, and this is what they call fortune?
Bullsh*t.
Song Zhiyu was almost itching to roll up his sleeves and settle accounts with the magician who read his destiny.
He’s not stupid; he knew he’d been set up, but having a girl lying beside him was also a fact. The other party wouldn’t relent, and even if she was just a concubine-to-be, they wanted to have him entangled, which annoyed him greatly. Being afraid that the trouble wouldn’t be contained from the family head, he automatically fessed up.
Then his nephew, Song Lingsu, attending a poetry gathering at a classmate’s manor, was somehow maneuvered into someone’s guest room, coincidentally while that person was changing clothes, which shocked him white as a sheet.
Next, the twin brothers, simply rescuing a damsel in distress, ended up with the girl forcibly insisting on following them back to the mansion, even volunteering to share their bed.
The uncles and nephews of the Song family, having experienced these lowbrow affairs, each felt as deflated as wilted vegetables, unable to lift their heads.
It was utterly embarrassing.
