When she entered the room, the Earl lifted the blankets and welcomed his wife. He said, "Is Shen Lang still memorizing? Tell him to rest early in case he hurt his eyes."
His wife growled, "He slept before nine o'clock."
Sleeping before nine o'clock was indeed too much.
The Earl snarled, "Useless and lazy man, he definitely won't be able to finish memorizing before two months. I will go and teach him a lesson tomorrow."
However, he was thinking, "Wife, you are going to lose."
The duress between them was non-invertible.

After dawn, Shen Lang opened his eyes and saw the Earl standing in front of him with a stern expression.
"Shen Lang, are you displeased with me?" asked the Earl.
Shen Lang got up and bowed to the Earl. "No, I respect you very much."
