Chapter 762

Actually, Salolin had looked at it once, and there shouldn't have been any problem, but he loved to drink, and he was dizzy from drinking yesterday, so he wasn't sure if he had misread it, and thus didn't dare to explain at all.

Li Chen didn't punish him immediately, but waved his hand, his tone indifferent yet carrying a hint of displeasure: "Handling things so poorly, get out and reflect! I'll leave you for observation for now!"

This kind of unclear disposal was more frightening than direct punishment.

Salolin returned home in low spirits and told his wife, Wendini, about the matter. The two hugged and cried, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse.

Just at this time, the anger of the patriarch, Loserma, also descended. He personally came to Salolin's house, pointed at his nose, and scolded him sternly:

"Salolin! You idiot! His Majesty giving you a chance is a supreme grace! You actually dared to be so slack, and even dared to drink and ruin things, using substandard goods to fool His Majesty?! Do you know you almost brought a catastrophe to the family! If it weren't for His Majesty's magnanimity, I would have crippled you right now!"

In a fit of rage, Loserma directly ordered Salolin to be thrown into the family dungeon for confinement, awaiting disposal, which was actually also to show Li Chen.

Her husband was thrown into the dungeon, his future uncertain, and he might even be executed by the furious patriarch. Wendini felt her world collapse instantly.

She cried like rain, begging everyone, but who dared to plead for someone who had "offended His Majesty" at this time?

Driven to a dead end, she thought of Sylph, the "red person" who could speak in front of His Majesty now.

She knelt outside Sylph's courtyard gate, begging Sylph to save her husband.

Sylph helped her into the room, looking at her face that was miserable and desperate yet still heart-palpitatingly beautiful, and sighed in her heart that the plan was going smoothly.

She showed a difficult expression, pondered for a long time, and then, as if having made up her mind, lowered her voice and said: "Aunt Wendini, Uncle Salolin did indeed cause a huge disaster this time. Having angered His Majesty, even the patriarch can't protect him. Now the only hope might lie with His Majesty himself."

"But how do we have the qualifications to meet His Majesty and plead?" Wendini sobbed uncontrollably.

At her level, it was indeed difficult even to request an audience with Li Chen.

Sylph leaned close to her, her voice carrying a hint of temptation and helplessness: "Normal channels naturally won't work. But perhaps there is another way that isn't really a way. His Majesty hasn't been awake for long, and he is lacking some intimate people to serve him by his side."

"If you, Aunt, are willing to put down your status and go personally to beg His Majesty, stating that you are willing to atone for your husband's sins, be a slave and maid, and serve by his side, perhaps, seeing your sincerity, and your... (Sylph pointedly looked at Wendini's stunning beauty and plump figure), he might show mercy and spare Uncle Salolin this time."

She had originally thought that a chaste and unyielding woman like Wendini would sternly refuse, or even denounce her. She had already prepared follow-up persuasion and even semi-coercive means.

However, to Sylph's surprise, when Wendini heard "be a slave and maid," her body trembled violently, the color drained from her face, and her eyes were filled with struggle and pain.

But when she thought of her husband whose life or death was uncertain in the dungeon, and her young daughter who might lose her father... she closed her eyes, two lines of clear tears sliding down. When she opened them again, only a kind of resigned determination remained.

Her voice was hoarse, yet she answered with unusual clarity: "Okay, I'll trouble you. As long as I can save him, I'm willing to do anything."

Under Sylph's introduction, Li Chen's personal slave team added another member, who was none other than Wendini, who appeared holy on the outside but was unyielding on the inside.

Being a personal slave meant she needed to stay by Li Chen's side twenty-four hours a day, ready to satisfy any of the master's needs at any time, with almost no private time or space.

However, what made Wendini feel puzzled and even somewhat uneasy was that although Li Chen kept her by his side, he didn't immediately possess her as she had expected.

This His Majesty only let her be naked every day, doing some seemingly ordinary chores in the Holy Palace: massaging his stiff muscles, warming the bedding with her body temperature in advance, and kneeling quietly to the side to serve tea and water while he read or tasted tea...

Wendini was extremely confident in her appearance and figure, and she could also see that this His Majesty was definitely not a person of pure heart and few desires. This could be seen from the increasingly nourished complexions and occasionally revealed charm of Bilodisi and Felado.
