Chapter 575: What should we name our house?
The new house was not too big to feel like a commercial house but it was large enough to be eye catching. Since T4 could do all the scanning and give her a tour with the drone cameras, she could rest easy tonight and walk around tomorrow as she executed other personal changes to the house. For example she wanted a tunnel from here to the catacombs and if that was impossible then from here to the basement in her parents house. She would discuss the idea with Muyang tomorrow.
After dinner, they personally gave the children their baths and put them to bed personally before heading up to sleep. As usual, before sleeping, they engaged in conversation about their day, their plans and random things which made them happy.
"Hubby, are you monitoring my men?" she asked him abruptly. "Zhangye confessed to me that he has been to the cold prison twice and you are aware."
Muyang had just slipped under the covers of the bed, and he turned over to glance at his wife who was pretending to look mysterious by reading a book even though there was no light source anywhere close to her except for the reflection of the moon and the outside lights.
"I am monitoring our children, your men just happen to be there. And it’s a good thing that I keep an eye on them because some of them need lessons in discretion. The cold prison is one of the places in the empire which is highly monitored. Everyone that goes in or out is closely studied, their face, fingerprints and any information on them is stored. By visiting the prison, he left a trace of himself which can lead back to you in case of anything and I do not want that to happen. I simply cautioned him and gave him a few reminders." he went into a deep explanation about his actions.
"En, I understand." she put the novel away and slid closer so that she could lie comfortably against his chest. "By the way, hubby, how did your meeting with the emperor go?"
"It went." he replied in a deep voice that normally indicated how exhausted he was.
Slowly, she raised her head like a lizard and pouted, "What, that’s not an answer at all."
"Wife, I had someone plant a crepe myrtle tree in our backyard, when it grows, it will be so beautiful with vibrant pink flowers. I told them to plant more than one, and also add a swing. Next year, you and Mei-Mei will be able to swing comfortably surrounded by beautiful pink flowers."
She could hear his voice fading and she could tell that he would soon be completely asleep. She could not ask him anything too serious right now. So, she asked a simpler question, "Hubby what should we name our house?"
"Myrtle house." he mumbled slowly. His breathing had slowed down, and the rhythmic lifting of his chest up and down was all the proof she needed to know that he was out, completely.
"He is sleeping." she whispered with a smile on her face and she kissed his cheek. "Goodnight, hubby."
Unlike her that woken up late, he had been up early and he attended many meetings. She should have sent him something to energize him through the day. Perhaps she could send over some fruits tomorrow. "T4, I will sleep in the virtual farm tonight."
"You just want to plunder the farm and feed him, don’t you." T4 responded.
She showed up in the virtual farm, ignoring T4’s accusation which they both knew was the truth.
She rubbed the tummy of the pretty white fox as they watched the fireflies buzz around the long stalks of wheat and rice. T4 made an appearance with an accusing face and she told him, "We have mangoes for the fist time in the farm, that’s why I have come over." she picked up Tetra and carried the farm pet into the house. "Why is it that even if I eat a whole table of food in here and taste it on my tongue, I never feel full when I leave."
"Do I need to have another conversation about your senses being able to access the virtual world but not your body?" T4 replied with a question. "Are you becoming dumber?"
"I will mute you for a week." she threatened. "What updates do you have for me from around the empire this week?"
T4 pointed to the virtual screen, "Sunning motors is releasing a car that runs on nuclear energy. Of all things that they could have done with that research paper I am impressed that the emperor is choosing to make life better for his people. There is a new nuclear power generating plant to be used for electricity and heating being established in the cold town. The plan is for that town to be the first in a long list of small towns to follow and then they can roll it out to big towns. Technology is a good thing, I don’t know why you worry so much about it."
She bit her thumb briefly and shook her head and said, "It’s not the technology which worries me, it’s the people that use the technology. Case in point is the evaporation gun, in the hands of the wrong people it could be extremely dangerous. If I was a bed person I would have used your technology to make myself empress or a world leader. Humans are not as trustable as they appear."
Not delving deeper into the mysterious ways of humans, T4 continued on, updating her about the various things she needed to know.
"Oh, sometime this week, the minister of housing plans to accidentally bump into you. Someone that works for her has been trying to access your schedule secretly."
"Why?" She asked him.
T4 showed her the minister’s reform plans and a list of what had been included among her accomplishments. "Election season is next year and you have become a woman of significant influence. I am sure she will not be the only one sniffing around you. What I do find amusing is that the cold town is listed among her accomplishments that she contributed to this year."
"Huh," Chi Lian mumbled. "Not that I can claim all the credit for the revamping of the town but I do not remember her being anywhere near here when we were working hard. Isn’t she claiming credit a little too soon? Anyway, I will deal with it when if I meet her, not everything needs to be a battle." She stood up and took the fluffy white fox with her.
"I am kidnapping your wife tonight T4, Tetra will be spending the night with me."
"Don’t you want to know about your husband’s meeting with the emperor?" T4 called out as she left.
"No."
"What about the one you can’t stand, Yan Daya? She is scheming something and it has to do with your husband. Don’t you want an update on what exactly it is that she is planning? They met in the palace today morning."
"No," she replied confidently. "He will tell me when he is ready or I will evaporate Yan Daya first."
