Qin Yuan stood up to meet him and asked, "What's the matter, my husband?"
Gu Jinghui's face was somber, with barely suppressed annoyance beneath his defiant brows, but upon seeing Qin Yuan's smiling face, his irritation dissipated, and his tone softened considerably. "What else could it be? First, I was instructed by Mr. Songshan, then had to entertain King Jin. Among the royal sons who visit the manor, only King Qishan is missing. I might as well set a table and invite them all over. They all say the same thing anyway. The Emperor still hasn't decided whether to give me the manpower I asked for or not. Surely he doesn't expect me to handle this alone."
Qin Yuan asked with a smile, "Would you like to change clothes now?"
Having vented, Gu Jinghui's expression softened completely, and he grinned, "Yes. What are we having for dinner?"
Qin Yuan glanced at the Marquis Gu, teasing, "I thought you would dine with King Jin, so I didn't prepare anything for you."
