SBCEJM -Chapter 9 SSS-Rank Twisted Gossip: The Blind Wife Cheats Every Night… With Her Own Husband?!

“Three cracks of the cleansing whip—officials, enter the court!”

As the eunuch’s shrill voice rang out once more, the heavy palace gates slowly opened inward.

Feng Zexuan instantly composed herself. The aloof expression returned to her refined face as she followed behind her father, Feng Huai’an, stepping steadily into the Golden Throne Hall.

The officials who had just been shamelessly flattering her moments ago all hurriedly straightened their robes and resumed their usual dignified façades.

Yet when they glanced toward that crimson-robed figure, their eyes now carried an indescribable mixture of fear… and reverence.

Upon the dragon throne sat Xiao Juechen in his black imperial robes.

He had just heard the report from the commander of the palace guards about the newly appointed third-place scholar literally leaping across rooftops to attend court.

Brilliant literary talent, extraordinary martial skills.

Free-spirited, unconcerned with public opinion.

Not bad. A talent worth cultivating.

Xiao Juechen’s gaze settled on Feng Zexuan, his eyes dark and unreadable.

If only she would stop digging up scandalous gossip about the imperial family in her head.

Morning court officially began.

Grand Eunuch Wang Dehai flicked his whisk and announced in a sharp voice, “If there is business, present it. If not, court shall be dismissed.”

“This subject has a memorial to present.”

Vice Minister of Works Zhou Huaili stepped out from the ranks, ivory court tablet in hand, bowing respectfully.

“Your Majesty, regarding the restoration of the Yongding River embankment, current progress is as follows…”

Zhou Huaili looked to be around thirty years old, with delicate features and meticulously groomed hair, radiating an air of upright integrity.

His report was orderly and articulate.

Standing at the back of the officials, Feng Zexuan could barely keep her eyes open.

【So sleepy… This guy talks like he’s chanting scriptures. His voice is basically premium-grade sleeping incense.】

【Can’t help it. For a gossip addict, attending court feels exactly like sitting through a political science lecture.】

Hearing this, Feng Huai’an’s old face stiffened, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Even Xiao Juechen frowned slightly.

At that moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang out!

【Ding ding ding—! Detected SSS-rank perverted gossip! Extremely high-value content! Host, prepare yourself immediately!】

Feng Zexuan’s drowsiness vanished instantly. Her eyes lit up.

SSS-rank?! And perverted gossip?!

【Quick! System! Spill it! Which lucky bastard hit the jackpot this time?】

The system replied excitedly:

【It’s the Vice Minister of Works currently speaking—Zhou Huaili!】

Feng Zexuan’s gaze snapped straight onto Zhou Huaili’s back.

【Him? He looks perfectly respectable! What kind of perverted gossip could he possibly have? Corruption? Murder?】

The system chuckled.

【Way more explosive than that! Host, brace yourself!】

【This Vice Minister Zhou has an extremely serious… cuckold fetish!】

Feng Zexuan sucked in a sharp breath. Her cold expression nearly cracked.

【W-What the hell?! A cuckold fetish?!】

【Did I hear that right? People actually like wearing green hats these days?! What’s even the appeal?!】

【Quick! Elaborate! I’m eating this gossip up!】

Every official in court instantly perked up.

What?!

Vice Minister Zhou Huaili?

The man most obsessed with propriety and etiquette?

A cuckold fetish?!

Even if they didn’t fully understand the term, it definitely didn’t sound respectable.

Even the emperor suddenly looked extremely interested.

Feng Huaimin internally screamed:

Good heavens!

How can this system dig up every filthy secret imaginable?!

And yet… he still couldn’t help pricking up his ears.

Meanwhile, Zhou Huaili—still passionately delivering his report—felt his heart skip a beat. Cold sweat instantly formed in his palms.

He forced himself to stay calm and continued:

“Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works estimates…”

But by now, nobody in court—including the emperor—had any interest in his report anymore.

Everyone’s attention had flown directly to Feng Zexuan’s “gossip channel.”

Hurry up and explain already, Scholar Feng! What kind of cuckold fetish is this?!

Completely unaware of the strange atmosphere around her, Feng Zexuan continued gossiping enthusiastically with the system.

【System, stop dragging this out! How does a court official end up with such a bizarre fetish? Did his wife… cheat on him or something?】

The system replied:

【Host, you guessed half right. He absolutely loves watching his wife flirt with other men… but at the same time, he has an extreme cleanliness obsession!】

Feng Zexuan froze.

【A cleanliness obsession? Then how can he tolerate that? Isn’t that completely contradictory? Is he mentally split or something?】

The system snickered.

【Which is why he came up with a perfect solution that satisfies both needs! You’ll never guess it!】

【Stop the suspense and spit it out!】

【Vice Minister Zhou is secretly… a master ventriloquist!】

Feng Zexuan:

【??? Ventriloquism? What does that have to do with cuckoldry?!】

【He’s a Vice Minister of Works! Instead of studying flood control, he’s practicing voice acting at home?! His professional priorities are seriously questionable!】

Upon hearing the words “master ventriloquist,” the expressions of the court officials turned increasingly bizarre.

Ventriloquism? Like the performers in street entertainment troupes?

The system continued:

【Here’s the important part! Zhou Huaili’s wife went blind from illness years ago!】

【So Vice Minister Zhou’s lifelong ventriloquism skills finally found their true purpose!】

A horrifying realization suddenly flashed through Feng Zexuan’s mind.

【Wait… don’t tell me he actually…】

The system cackled.

【That’s right! Every single night, he uses ventriloquism to imitate different men and different identities before sneaking into his wife’s room to flirt with her!】

【Sometimes he plays a gentle, impoverished scholar, reciting poetry beside her ear and confessing tender feelings!】

【Sometimes he becomes a bold wandering swordsman—rough-tongued and handsy!】

【Sometimes he even pretends to be a foreign merchant with a bizarre accent, babbling incomprehensible nonsense to create an exotic atmosphere!】

【Since his wife can’t see, she relies entirely on hearing and touch. Zhou Huaili’s acting is incredible, and his ventriloquism flawless. He’s kept her completely fooled all these years!】

Feng Zexuan was utterly dumbfounded. Her worldview shattered into pieces.

【Holy shit! Holy shit! HOLY SHIT!】

【He roleplays as other men just to sleep with his own wife?!】

【Just so he can enjoy the twisted thrill of being “cuckolded” by himself?!】

【This guy really knows how to play! What kind of god-tier roleplay is this?! What kind of legendary fetish scenario?!】

【Cuckolding himself not only satisfies his perverted kink, but also guarantees “cleanliness” on a physical level. This operation… is pure genius!】

Dead silence.

Everyone in court was struck numb by this earth-shattering “fetish roleplay.” Their scalps tingled.

Emperor Xiao Juechen’s expression could no longer be described as mere shock. He felt as though his understanding of the world had just suffered an unprecedented assault.

Ventriloquism? Roleplaying?

Cuckolding himself?!

This Vice Minister of Works… was truly an extraordinary man.
