As everyone read through the golden decree, they sighed in resignation.
"These will be the golden rules of the city, and only I can change them from now on," Lu Zhen said in a simple tone.
"Do you guys understand?"
"Yes, young master."
They hurriedly nodded their heads with terrified eyes. Nobody was stupid enough to reject it. It was either them losing their life or accepting it, so no matter how bitter, they needed to accept it.
"Good, you guys can leave now. There will be a banquet for all my marriages, so come out at night, got it?" Lu Zhen announced in a loud voice to everyone as he looked at them with his crimson gaze, which seemed like an inferno flame to them.
"Yes, young master." They all stood up from their seats and bowed towards him before leaving, with a mixture of emotions: sadness, anger, and even an unjust expression on their faces, as if Lu Zhen had slept with their wives.
