My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1156 - 1162: The Butt Decides the Brain

Three wily little things created a lively atmosphere at the table the whole time.

After sending away Grandpa Zhang, Chen Yiling started playing with the three kids again.

It was getting late, and Qin Longyun couldn’t help but ask, "Wife, when are we going back?"

"I’m staying here tonight, you go back on your own."

That way she would avoid the Side Concubine who always dragged her into conversations, revolving around Prince Liang and the children she bore for him—her ears were practically developing calluses.

Qin Longyun pitifully asked, "Do you really have the heart to let me go back alone?"

Wouldn’t that make him a lonesome soul?

"Why wouldn’t I? Li Mu’er won’t be seeking you out for a heart-to-heart," Chen Yiling patted Qin Longyun’s shoulder.

Thinking about dealing with Prince Liang, who was as disgusting as Li Mu’er, just made her feel sorry for him.

But was there any other option?

Who asked Prince Liang to take a fancy to Qin Longyun? No, not to him—to Qin Longyun’s talents.

Qin Longyun quickly covered his head, "I drank too much today, my head is all fuzzy, I’ll go rest in the guest room."

A so-called family member is someone who lives in the same house.

Since his son was staying at the Tan Family’s residence and his wife was also staying there, naturally, he should stay at the Tan Family’s as well.

As for offending Prince Liang, he couldn’t care less.

If Prince Liang ever ascended the throne, he’d be the first to resign his post.

Qiao Duo’er struggled to hold back her laughter, "Lord Qin’s acting is not bad, he deserves an award. I hope even more that Prince Liang will come to his senses soon and give your nest back to you."

"Sigh, keep dreaming. He won’t leave until he has taken your family’s business," Chen Yiling sighed.

Prince Liang really was greedy enough, wanting to learn from Qiao Duo’er how to breed musk deer, he even wanted to take over Duo Meifang completely.

But with Qiao Duo’er around, Prince Liang would just be wasting his time.

Thinking that with Prince Liang out of the Capital, there’d be one less person to check King Qin, she found some consolation.

Seeing Qiao Duo’er smiling, Chen Yiling teased, "Qiao Duo’er, are you enjoying the disaster unfolding?"

"I just suddenly thought of a saying," Qiao Duo’er shook her head.

"What saying?"

"Your ass decides your head," said Qiao Duo’er indifferently. It’s a bit uncivilized to say so, but the phrase contains an undeniable truth.

Seeing Chen Yiling not understanding, Qiao Duo’er took the initiative to explain.

"The musk secreted by male musk deer between three and eight years old is of the best quality, and it’s hard to decide whether to hunt or to let female deer breed. Plus, musk deer are picky eaters and initially require a huge investment. Do you think Prince Liang can wait? He only sees the value of musk and decides on a whim to start a musk deer farm, hence why it’s said ’Your ass decides your head.’"

After a full three years, her musk deer farm was still operating at a loss.

Because the male musk deer born did not produce musk, the female deer did not give birth, and they were all just eating and drinking for free.

Add to that the silver spent on buying the land, she literally bled red.

If it weren’t for the family’s fields, real estate, and the output from Duo Meifang, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

As for Prince Liang, not to mention.

He raised musk deer for the silver, and probably couldn’t even tolerate a face full of losses.

Such an impatient mindset doomed him to utter failure, leaving nothing but a mess.

Chen Yiling raised her thumb, "I love listening to you talk, so sharp!"

However, since it’s about Prince Liang, she thought ’the brain is not as good as the ass’ might be more apt.

"Thanks for the praise, I’m deeply honored," Qiao Duo’er playfully said.

It just felt a bit unsatisfying not being able to criticize him to his face.

Alas, the evils of feudal society, where not only is there no equality among people, apart from the Emperor, no one is even entitled to freedom of speech.

Otherwise, she would’ve criticized Prince Liang so much that even his mother would refuse to acknowledge him as her son.
