Chapter 11: Committing Wicked Deeds, Mistakenly Believing They Accumulate Virtue

Then, Emperor Yunshen's face suddenly darkened!

"Are you very happy?"

Su Qingli, naive as ever, nodded rapidly.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

"Hey, Emperor Yunshen, why are you turning away? Why won’t you talk to me? Emperor Yunshen, Emperor Yunshen!"

He still ignored her, but that didn't stop her from talking.

"Tell me, I came to see you first, and you’re so handsome! Does that mean the others are even more handsome? What if they..."

Suddenly, Emperor Yunshen turned around and interrupted her directly, "There is no 'what if.'"

"Why?"

"Are you meeting them because of their looks?"

"Ah, yes! I’ve calculated it. Among the seven of you, it seems you have the least money."

Hearing this, Emperor Yunshen felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"But, if among the other six, there’s someone even more handsome than you, that would be really hard to choose."

Emperor Yunshen: "???"

It was the first time he’d felt this way—not only being compared and picked apart, but also sensing a hint of disdain?

"Li'er, give up."

"Why?"

"We are legally married, after all."

Su Qingli pondered this very seriously.

"But isn’t there... something like... infidelity within marriage?"

Oh, the look on Emperor Yunshen's face turned downright green!

He never expected Su Qingli to say that!

"Emperor Yunshen, are you angry?"

Emperor Yunshen gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words. "No."

"You are angry!"

"You know it, yet you still say it? Stop reading online posts. Infidelity within marriage means a punishment by drowning in a pig cage."

"Ah..."

As they talked, the car smoothly stopped at the rear entrance of the Imperial Group.

Emperor Yunshen was about to go in, but Su Qingli tugged at him, "Wait, go in after two minutes."

"Hmm?"

"I calculated—after two minutes, there will be no one."

"......"

So Emperor Yunshen stood there with her for two minutes. When they finally went in, it turned out there really was no one.

Emperor Yunshen glanced at Su Qingli’s little head, suddenly thinking it was rather amusing to have such a quirky creature by his side.

When they reached the office, they found only the assistant Shen Ci and the head of the Lin family, Lin Jin.

"President, Mr. Lin has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Emperor, forgive me for coming uninvited!"

Emperor Yunshen simply nodded and sat at his desk, lowering his head to handle documents.

Su Qingli smiled lightly, "Patriarch Lin, you’re here to see me, aren’t you? If you have anything to say, you can speak freely."

Lin Jin was clearly a bit surprised, but the feeling quickly passed.

"Miss Su, this time, I represent the entire Lin family to apologize to you. I hope you won’t hold a grudge and will forgive my reckless son."

"It’s nothing, just infidelity. I didn’t like him anyway, so it doesn’t matter."

Suddenly, Emperor Yunshen set down his pen, because he felt something was off about that sentence! Very off!!

What was she implying?

Was she saying she didn’t like him, so she could cheat as well? And it wouldn’t matter?!

She wasn’t speaking to Lin Jin; she was clearly speaking to him!

Emperor Yunshen stood up immediately. "How could such a thing be forgiven? Li'er, you’ve always lived on the mountain, you don’t understand these things, but you must know how serious this behavior is."

Su Qingli suddenly thought of something. "I understand!"

She looked at Lin Jin with a solemn expression. "Then, according to your rules, he should be drowned in a pig cage."

Lin Jin and Emperor Yunshen: "......"

For a moment, the office fell silent—not just the two of them, but even Shen Ci was dumbfounded.

Who would expect a sudden suggestion of drowning in a pig cage!

Emperor Yunshen took it in stride, but as for the Lin family patriarch, he didn’t even dare to breathe, terrified his only son would be punished.

"Li'er, you and the Lin family’s young man haven’t married or registered, so even if he was unfaithful, it’s not that serious."

Who knows if she understood, but she kept nodding anyway.

"Then, what do you suggest?"

Emperor Yunshen considered for a moment, then said, "Li'er, didn’t you want to accumulate virtue? Why not be magnanimous and let them be together? I’ll help you—tonight they can register, tomorrow get married, how about it?"

Su Qingli thought that sounded great! She loved doing good deeds!

"Alright! Alright!"

She didn’t notice the face of the Lin family patriarch beside her, which turned utterly sour.

This wasn’t a good deed, it was a wicked act! Extremely wicked!!

The Lin family didn’t like Qiao Ke. Yesterday, they even drove Qiao Ke out of the Lin home, embarrassing the Qiao family as well.

Hearing this today, the Lin family patriarch’s expression could hardly be worse.

"Miss Su, this... isn’t really appropriate, is it? Actually, Qianze doesn’t really like Qiao Ke, and they aren’t suitable."

Su Qingli, caught up in the moment, insisted, "They’re perfect! How could he do that if he didn’t like her? Right? I like doing good deeds, so don’t feel embarrassed, let’s just do it."

With that, the Lin family patriarch could only swallow his words.

He forced a smile—an ugly one.

The happiest of all was Emperor Yunshen.

When he heard that the Elder had found Su Qingli a boyfriend, he nearly destroyed the Lin family! Later, the Elder came to persuade him, and they ended up fighting... but the Lin family survived, though their business was nearly crushed.

Today’s outcome made Emperor Yunshen quite pleased.

And Su Qingli, bouncing around, thinking she was doing good, while actually causing trouble!
