Return to the bride's home?

Huo Wujiu exterminated the emperor's country, and the latter killed Huo Wujiu's father. They were already at odds and ends, so how could he claim that they were Huo Wujiu's family?

He said it was returning to the bride's home, but his unabashed tone clearly showed his desire to find an excuse to taunt and humiliate Huo Wujiu.

With his knowledge of thousands of years of history, Jiang Suizhou also had some understanding of this fatuous ruler.

The Hou Zhu, as stupid as he was, certainly couldn't have come up with this humiliating trick to force Huo Wujiu back to his maternal home.

Jiang Suizhou caught the look shared between the Emperor and Pang Shao.

Nine out of ten, it was Pang Shao who was in cahoots with the Hou Zhu. The latter wanted to take Huo Wujiu out, and Pang Shao wanted to please him, so Pang Shao must have come up with this idea for him.

The two of them hit it off immediately. They would each happily obtain their desires. He, on the other hand, would end up suffering.

Regardless of who wanted to humiliate Huo Wujiu, in Huo Wujiu's perspective, he, Jiang Suizhou, and they were jackals of the same lair.

Jiang Suizhou didn't want to drive someone to their death. He could turn a blind eye to it, but he didn't want to use his own head as a bargaining chip.

Jiang Suizhou gritted his teeth.

He had to refuse for Huo Wujiu, and he had to come up with a sound reason.

He paused, and his exquisite, almost lush face showed tinges of revulsion and embarrassment.

"Brother Emperor, that's unnecessary." He lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes blocking the emotions in his eyes and aptly posing a gesture of refusal. "A cripple is hardly presentable and would only provoke Brother Emperor's disgust."

He spoke slowly, exhibiting his disgust between the lines.

Jiang Suizhou wove his words beautifully, and each word was seemingly in consideration for the latter. However, the people around him knew when they heard him that he himself was disgraced in saying these words.

Of course, he was also a Prince of the country. The mere thought of entering the palace with a prisoner of war "to return to the bridal home" was too funny and too humiliating.

Many courtiers had a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

And when the Emperor heard this, he became even more spirited.

"What? Are you unwilling to bring him out? Fifth Brother, you've only been with him in the bridal chamber last night. How come you are so heartless today?"

When Jiang Suizhou heard his loony tone, he was inevitably disgusted, but he had to continue acting.

He paused, as if totally embarrassed that he had been intimate with the other party. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Emperor, this is different."

The Hou Zhu dissolved into laughter, and a cheerful atmosphere permeated the entire courtroom.

Pang Shao cleared his throat again.

The Hou Zhu glanced at him and saw Pang Shao winking at him from below, reminding him of the plan.

Long before the court session, his uncle told him that he could severely humiliate Jiang Suizhou by proposing to let Huo Wujiu return to his maternal home. That idea was fine. However, it was paramount to use this matter as a bargaining chip in exchange for the goodies in Jiang Suizhou's hands.
