I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 536 There's no one better than my sister-in-law in the world

Wang Wenzhou pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, my poisoning has absolutely nothing to do with Little Pig, and he doesn't have the guts to do it."

"Hmm?" Empress Zhou asked in confusion, "Boxin, you don't even trust the Emperor, so why do you trust him?"

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I won't lie to you. The whole family of Xiaozhu is in my hands. If I die, none of his family members will survive."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhou's expression changed; Wang Wenzhou's hidden power was truly formidable.

Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Sister-in-law, please release him. Let him come here and listen to my orders. It's not convenient for him to be without a dutiful servant by his side."

"Pfft..." Empress Zhou was completely stunned. Where is Bo Xin?! You're really something! You can even turn the jailer of the imperial prison into your servant.

Empress Zhou thought for a moment and realized it wasn't a big deal. Not wanting to offend Wang Wenzhou, she quickly ordered, "Issue my imperial decree: Zhu Taining is released without charge and is to come and await Lord Wang's orders."

"Yes!" A young eunuch quickly accepted the order and left.

Wang Wenzhou glanced at the palace maids behind Empress Zhou and said with a smile, "Miss, do you have any loose silver?"

"Ah?" The little palace maid blushed and quickly took out a few taels of silver and handed them to Wang Wenzhou.

Empress Zhou smiled slightly and said softly, "Boxin, if you like her, I will grant her to you."

Actually, Empress Zhou brought such a pretty young palace maid over so that Wang Wenzhou could have some fun. But she was wrong; Wang Wenzhou had no such intention at all.

Wang Wenzhou waved his hand, handed the loose silver to Zhu Meichu, and said with a smile, "Little Meichu, do you not often leave the palace?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Meichu nodded, complaining in her childish voice, "Father and Mother don't allow me to go out of the palace to play. I can only go out of the palace two or three times a year, and I'm not allowed to run around everywhere."

"Good girl!" Wang Wenzhou gently patted Zhu Meichu's head and said with a smile, "Today, your uncle is in charge. You take the money and let them accompany you to the night market to buy candy."

"Hehe!" Zhu Meichu laughed happily, "Okay! Okay!"

Empress Zhou frowned. What tricks was Wang Wenzhou up to now?

“Sister-in-law, the children are still young and should have a happy childhood. Try to satisfy their desires for play and food. Happiness is a cheap thing for children; even just a piece of candy can make them happy all day. But when they grow up, they have more worries, and it will be difficult to be so carefree again,” Wang Wenzhou said earnestly.

"Hmm..." Empress Zhou frowned. That made sense, but she felt that Wang Wenzhou had ill intentions.

Wang Wenzhou pointed at the young palace maids and said, "You all quickly accompany the little princess to the night market."

The eunuchs and maids couldn't make the decision, so they quickly looked to Empress Zhou.

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, just let them go. Little Meichu can't be kept in the palace like a pig all day."

Empress Zhou rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. What were you saying?

"Mother, please grant my request!" Zhu Meichu tugged at Empress Zhou's sleeve, pleading desperately.

Empress Zhou could not resist her daughter's pleading and had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Meichu skipped and hopped away with her people.

Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly. The third wheel was gone; it was time for him to get down to business.

"Sister-in-law, could you taste the medicine to see if it's too hot?" Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Empress Zhou nodded, took a small sip. Actually, after so long, the medicine was no longer hot; the temperature was just right.

"Not too hot! Just right, Boxin, drink your medicine quickly." Empress Zhou scooped up a spoonful of medicine and brought it to Wang Wenzhou's lips.

Wang Wenzhou frowned, lowered his head and sniffed, only to be met with a foul odor.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of medicine is this? Can I drink it?" Wang Wenzhou asked hurriedly.

"Boxin, good medicine tastes bitter, drink it quickly! This time we must thank Doctor Chen. He prescribed medicine, and you only needed to take one dose to wake up," Empress Zhou said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I have a favor to ask. I wonder if you could feed me the medicine mouth-to-mouth? The medicine is too bitter, and I really can't bring myself to drink it!" Wang Wenzhou stared intently at Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou was furious. "Wang Wenzhou, you madman! How dare you flirt with me?"

"Sister-in-law, please don't be angry!" Wang Wenzhou quickly said affectionately, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, from the first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. I hate myself! I hate that I was born a few years too late, letting Brother Zhu get there first!"

"Boxin! Stop this nonsense!" Empress Zhou shouted angrily.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so beautiful even when you're angry!" Wang Wenzhou was truly driven by lust. He hadn't slept with a girl for so long while he was unconscious, and he simply couldn't suppress the primal power within him.

"Hmph!" Empress Zhou snorted coldly, stood up, and was about to leave.

Wang Wenzhou quickly got up and hugged her from behind.

"Sister-in-law, my heart is breaking!" Wang Wenzhou hugged Empress Zhou and began to weep bitterly.

Empress Zhou was at a loss. What on earth was that bastard Wang Wenzhou up to?

"Sister-in-law, you don't know how deeply my baby loves me. She would rather poison herself than poison me! I dare not eat anything now! I'm afraid there might be poison in it!" Wang Wenzhou said earnestly.

"Hmm?" Empress Zhou frowned. Once bitten, twice shy. Could it be that Bo Xin was afraid the medicine was poisoned? No wonder he just asked me to taste the medicine to see if it was hot, but I had already taken a sip.

"Boxin, let go immediately! What kind of behavior is this? There's no poison in the medicine; I even took a sip myself," Empress Zhou said hastily.

Wang Wenzhou held Empress Zhou tightly, heartbroken, and said, "My baby died for me, but even now, I don't know her name! I'm such a bastard! I hate myself, I don't want to live anymore! Sister-in-law, please let me die!"

When Empress Zhou turned around, she saw Wang Wenzhou crying with tears streaming down his face. She assumed that Wang Wenzhou was so heartbroken that he had lost his composure.

"Sigh..." Empress Zhou sighed. She never expected that Wang Wenzhou, that lecherous man, was also a devoted lover.

Empress Zhou put down the bowl, sat down by the bed, and gently patted Wang Wenzhou's back, comforting him, "Boxin, he is gone. Do not grieve. You have just recovered from a serious illness. If you grieve too much, it will worsen your condition, which would be terrible."

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind, understanding, and considerate!" Wang Wenzhou took advantage of the situation and buried his head in Empress Zhou's arms.

"There's no one better than a sister-in-law in the world, a baby without a sister-in-law is like a blade of grass..." Wang Wenzhou started singing.

Empress Zhou was both amused and exasperated. She wanted to get angry, but couldn't. She feared that if she did, Wang Wenzhou, that madman, would really commit suicide, and if Wang Wenzhou died, the Ming Dynasty would never have peace. But if she didn't get angry, that scoundrel Wang Wenzhou would find all sorts of ways to take advantage of her.

Empress Zhou thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Boxin, stop fooling around. I'll feed you the medicine mouth-to-mouth, okay?"

"Alright!" Wang Wenzhou quickly got up and stared at Empress Zhou with deep affection.

Empress Zhou blushed instantly, her face turning red to her neck. Had she gone mad? How could she have agreed to such a thing?
