Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 281: Funeral leave.

In the morning, after having breakfast, Junjie left Mei Mei’s house. A jogger captured footage of the royal entourage leaving and uploaded it online. Once again, the relationship between Mei Mei and Junjie was questioned by some parties.

While some claimed it was abnormal for the emperor to spend the night in the house of another woman on the night his wife died, others explained it away by saying it was two friends comforting each other.

The royal office shared images of all the funerals Junjie and Mei Mei had attended together since childhood, whether they were for humans or pets. They made it clear that the two friends had always liked to comfort each other in times of grief and this was one such time for the emperor.

Even though there were still many trouble makers in the mix, other netizens thanked Mei Mei for standing by the emperor and being a good friend.

All of this made it to the news and made it into Mo Liang’s ears in prison. Yang Tingfeng was sitting on his bed, eating peanuts. He could not help making some snarky remarks.

"Your ex wife and Emperor Junjie are really very close. What was it like being married to the best friend of the emperor?"

Mo Liang covered his head with a blanket and refused to answer. If they were best friends. why hadn’t the Emperor come over once for a visit when he was married to Mei Mei? That slut had screwed him over and she was now playing the role of perfect friend and dining with royalty.

"Damn you Meilin! Just wait until I get out of here." He muttered.

He would make her and the Jun family pay for looking down on him. They would pay for ruining his company and family.

A prison guard walked up to the room and stood in the doorway. "Mo Liang, you lost two family members in the explosion, Mo Bao and Mo Ai. Your family has requested for funeral leave. It was not going to be granted but your service to the empire as a space pilot on the mission to outer space earned you the chance."

Mo Liang jumped out of bed.

"Prepare yourself to leave in thirty minutes." The prison guard told him.

Yan Tingfeng sat upright. This was not in his boss’s plans and she had to be informed right away. Mo Liang had been acting more delusional lately. Who knew what he would do if he was released? They needed to increase security around the young lady and young miss. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Meanwhile at Mei Mei’s place, Jingzhe had finally opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Mei Mei. She was sitting in a chair next to the couch, reading a book. In her hands was a cup of Juan tea that she was sipping through a straw. He sat up slowly and stretched.

"You are awake." Mei Mei put the book down and looked at him. "Do you have a headache or are you hungry?"

Jingzhe tilted his head from side to side and winced a little. "A little headache."

Mei Mei handed him an instant painkiller and some water. He swallowed the pill obediently and she handed him a tooth brush and a glass of water. "Brush your teeth."

He took it and went into the bathroom in the music room. As he was cleaning up, Mei Mei resumed her book reading. She was reading a martial arts novel and she was just coming to a great part so she wanted to finish the Chapter quickly.

A phone call from Mingzhu confirming that she was on her way home interrupted her. Apparently she was not coming alone, Long Wen and Long Shuang were coming as well. After what she had learned about Long Shuang, Mei Mei could not wait to see the little girl. She wanted to look at her features closely and compare them to Hui Zhenting.

She still thought that Junjie was a fool. He was a good enough emperor for a peaceful era like the one they were living in. But, if he was in a difficult one, he would have been eaten alive.

"Or maybe he would have adjusted." C4 said. "You cannot just a man basing on how he chose to balance his family life and the politics of the empire. You should also keep in mind that the Hui’s had long started positioning themselves in places of power. Why else is the Empress Mother moving one domino by one instead of toppling them all over at the same time?"

Mei Mei shrugged. "Still, it wouldn’t be me."

C4 laughed at her. "You were in a terrible marriage and stayed anyway. He was in a terrible marriage and did the same thing. Isn’t this the pot calling the kettle black?"

Mei Mei pursed her lips. Maybe the system was right and out of everyone that could point fingers at Junjie of judge him, she was not qualified.

But the one thing she was certain of was that if she had known that Mo Liang was cheating during their marriage, she would have left.

The thought made her grimace. At the end of the day, she was worse than Junjie. Her husband was a cheater and emotionally abusive.

"Don’t compare, it is not a competition." C4 told her.

She received a text from assistant Han and dismissed all thought of their tragic marriages. All parents had picked up their children from the camp. Construction of the fairy world was coming along nicely.

This tragedy and temporary closure was actually a perfect time for the system to make changes to the camp. Mei Mei decided to choose other rides that needed to be added to the camp.

Five minutes later, Jingzhe came out of the bathroom and sat down next to her. He pulled the chair she was sitting in and reached out to hug her. His arms went around her waist and his head rested in her lap. "Mei Mei, did you sit here and protect me all night? Thank you."

Mei Mei thought back to what she had done on the night. She had eaten a lot and drunk a lot. She fell asleep in the living room in the middle of watching a movie with Junjie. She woke up in bed and no idea how she got there. As for Junjie, he slept in a guest bedroom, hugging one of the pocky plushies Mingzhu had taken.

He had taken it with him when he left. The plushie bandit would be very unhappy when she returned. Wasn’t the little general always threatening to climb over the palace walls and rebel? This was a great chance for her to prove her words.

"A Zhe, what happened?" She patted his head gently and asked. "Why did you fall asleep in the music room? Also, I did not spend all night protecting you. I came in and covered you. I did not want to wake you up because I figured something was troubling you. What is it my dear? Is it the matters to do with the space ship explosion? Is this one of those things that you said would weigh heavily on your conscience?"
