"No problem. I know how to give orders." Harper was overjoyed, but when Rufus received his summons to River City, he felt a
shiver down his spine.
"Mister Rufus, are you all right?"
Rufus rubbed his hands and said, "The cold air has got to my bones nowadays. Make the stove burn hotter. Don't slow down.
Prince Matthew has summoned me to River City urgently. Something momentous must have happened."
"Yes, Mister Rufus."
But to Rufus' amazement, he was called in urgently to see Matthew, not for military business, nor for a matter of life and death. It
was just because his wife wanted to open a shop in River City that he was summoned in such a hurry.
The main point was, as soon as he arrived, he was informed that Matthew had taken a well-run tea house in the best location
from him, and offered it to his wife like a trinket for her amusement! Money shouldn't be wasted like that!
"Your Highness, what has got into you? Have you been drugged?" Rufus gritted his teeth. That tea house had been a perfect
place to inquire for information, as many people came and went through there. But Matthew offered to his wife without regard for

"You're suffering from kidney deficiency, and your whole family suffers from it," Rufus said crossly. But a split second later, Matthew's murderous look overwhelmed him, making him tremble with cold. Realizing that Matthew was also a member of her family, he quickly said, "Your Highness, I didn't mean you." "You are one of my family members, Matthew. It's obvious that he was talking about you, no matter how he denied it. Honey, I promise you that I

Considering Harper's words, Matthew looked at the woeful Rufus and said seriously, "You are the only wife I have. I have no
concubines. Even if I have one, you will still be my only wife. He is a trouble-making concubine, so I allow you to deal with him."
"What? Wife? Concubine?" asked Rufus, feeling utterly perplexed.
"I said you look like Matthew's resentful wife while I look like his concubine. He pampers his concubine more than his wife. Thus,
when I'm competing with you for power, he supports me against you. Yet, he disagreed about my interpretation, saying that you
