The Protectorate State Duke snorted heavily. "Look at yourself! Lately, you’ve been drifting through your days in a daze, with absolutely no professional achievements to show for your efforts. I didn't marry my daughter off to you so you could slack off all day! Furthermore, you aren't young anymore; do you have no ambition at all?"
His deep voice was oppressive, each word striking heavily against Ji Yunchu’s ears. Although the Protectorate State Duke’s words were phrased with a semblance of tact, it was not hard to discern his disdain for Ji Yunchu. And it was no wonder; in terms of family background, a daughter of the Protectorate State Duke Manor would be more than qualified to be the primary wife of any prince. Yet, she had ended up married to Ji Yunchu, a minor official with neither power nor influence—and as a secondary wife at that! On top of that, with Yuwen Ya constantly returning home lately to weep and complain about being treated coldly at the Ji Residence, the Protectorate State Duke, as a father, naturally grew even more dissatisfied with his son-in-law.
Ji Yunchu stood to the side, not daring to speak.
