"A good wife is indeed valuable," Meng Liangshen sighed, rubbing his temples gently, and then said in a bitter smile, "Official Yichun, could you stop lecturing me? There was already a man who almost lost his life over this yesterday."
"I heard you had quite the drinking session with him, Meng. Just so happens that I have some free time today so why don't we enjoy a few drinks?" said Jiang Yichun, his tone laced with provocation.
