There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Part 7.3

Shen Tingwei looked around the dimly lit garret, his eyes stopped on the thin bed momentarily before it fell onto Ye Zhizhou's frail back. Unable to stop himself, he reached forward to touch it, "How were the three daily meals served? Were they delivered by a servant?"

Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and shook off his hand. He pulled out a piece of wrapping cloth and began to clumsily pack his luggage. He didn't want to deal with Shen Tingwei.

"There is no one to serve you?" Shen Tingwei didn't mind his cold attitude at all. Every time Ye Zhizhou set a piece of clothing onto the wrapping cloth, he would take one out. He also started to ask some personal questions with an honest face, "What normally happens when you bathe? Who brings you the bathwater? Who washes your underclothes?"

So angry!

"What do you mean?" Trying to pack his luggage resulted in the other taking out clothes faster than he could pack. Besides, it's not like he could win against him in a fight. He threw aside the wrapping cloth and raised his head to look at Shen Tingwei, but that caused him to become even angrier! In this life, the height difference between him and his lover was too excessive and cruel, it made him feel like he was already losing the quarrel!

"Why do you ask so many questions? If you want to know how I usually live, you should ask your Shen family servants, okay?" Running a hand through his hair, Ye Zhizhou sat down on a stool and took a deep breath, pressing down a baffling and unusual explosive temper. He earnestly asked, "What on earth are you trying to do, young General Shen? Don't tell me that your family's daughter-in-law can't take her dowry with her when she gets divorced?"

"You should address me as 'husband'," Shen Tingwei sat down in front of him and lifted the teapot that was on the table. He paused momentarily, frowned again and put it down, "The servants didn't prepare tea for you either?"

Ye Zhizhou sneered, "Tea? I didn't know your Shen family still had such a thing called tea. Don't you just have water? In fact, just cold water." The original owner was a very naive and honest person, and because of that, he was bullied by the servants and masters of the Shen family like this. After going through the original owner's memory, he wanted to just burn the Shen house down!

Shen Tingwei's face became dark, and he got up again to look at the dowry chest. He continued to ask, "Is that all you have in your dowry? Is your family not treating you well?"

Sure enough, there are more questions!

"I had more in my dowry. Unfortunately, they were all taken by your grandmother. As for my family... I was forced to marry you as a substitute, a replacement. Do you understand that? Now, I just want to pack my things, go home and settle accounts with my family. Can young General Shen stop making trouble for me?"

"I'll help you," Shen Tingwei turned to look at him, raised his hand and touched his hair, "I'll take care of you from now on, don't be afraid."

Ye Zhizhou's bellyful of complaints about the Shen family dispersed. Suddenly, he felt the urge to throw himself into his lover's arms, cast away his dignity and act spoiled. But, when he remembered how the original owner was wronged, it would be extremely unfair to him. He avoided Shen Tingwei's hand with a serious look on his face and spoke after a moment of silence, "Give me back my entire dowry."

"Ok," Shen Tingwei withdrew his hand, dragged a stool over and sat down next to him and looked at him profoundly, "If you have any other requests, just say it"

Avoiding his line of sight, Ye Zhizhou got up to walk to the dowry chest and took out the dowry list that was buried at the bottom. He set it on the table, "Give me back everything on this list." After he finished making trouble at the Zou family, he still has to travel all across the corners of the country to take care of the four male leads. Having no money would be a problem.
