The expression of many men became filled with jealousy when they heard that it was Qiu Honglei’s invitation card.
Even the Chu clan’s guards knew about Qiu Honglei’s reputation.
This girl was the most popular girl in all of Brightmoon City, no… all of Linchuan Commandery. There wasn’t a single man who didn’t want to get close to her.
“The young master really has mad skills… he is even on good terms with this lady Qiu!”
“I really couldn’t figure out why our beautiful first miss would end up favoring the young master. It seems like I am still too inexperienced.”
“But the Madam has gotten involved… the young master’s in trouble now.”
…
Some of them were overjoyed, some of them were worried, but most of these guards just watched the drama from the side. When Chu Hongcai heard that it was Qiu Honglei who personally sent Zu An an invitation, he wanted to rip his eyes out from jealousy.
This was a die-hard fan of Qiu Honglei we are talking about here! Yet he had never heard of her taking the initiative to send anyone an invitation!
Normally, for her to accept an invitation and perform a song, or even just making an appearance was already an incredible honor.
Even though nothing happened between the two of them last night, lady Qiu was already taking the initiative to contact him! Wasn’t this already but a matter of time?
After all, he really didn’t think that anyone could resist Qiu Honglei’s beauty and charm.
Tears were on the verge of pouring out when he thought about how the goddess of his dreams was going to be ravaged under Zu An soon.
AhhhhHHHH! They should’ve just got it over with last night. Why are you tormenting me like this? Just end my suffering!
You have successfully trolled Chu Hongcai for +233 Rage!
Zu An gave him a surprised glance. There really wasn’t much he could do about this type of thing.
Can’t really blame him for breaking the bro code, his goddess is just too hot.
“I’m talking to you! Where are your eyes looking?!” Qin Wanru was already in a terrible mood to begin with. Those other drafted son-in-laws are all nice and submissive out of fear of offending their wife’s family. Why didn’t this fellow have a shred of obedience in him?
This scoundrel even had the nerve to play around with a brothel girl. This girl even chased him all the way back home!
Once news got out, would Chu clan have any dignity left?
You have successfully trolled Qin Wanru for +404 Rage!
Only then did Zu An snap out of his daze. Why was this woman always on edge?
He was just about to say something when his eyes suddenly moved to her body. Last night’s ‘little accident’ appeared in his mind, making his expression immediately become strange.
“We’ll talk about this inside!” Qin Wanru’s brows furrowed slightly when she saw that he didn’t respond and only stared at her. She didn’t want to deal with him by the entrance and make a laughingstock out of the clan either.
The guards all gave him looks of ‘good luck bro’. Even Cheng Shouping hid towards the back.
Zu An thought to himself couldn’t this guy just give it to me in secret? He just had to blabber about it by the entrance and let everyone know.
Sigh, I really need to swap him out for someone sharper when I get the chance.
They headed straight for the study. Qin Wanru sat down. After everyone else withdrew, she slammed the table. “Do you understand your wrongs?!”
“I have no idea what I did wrong. But if wrongs are what we are talking about here, isn’t it more inappropriate for you to rip open someone else’s private letter?” Zu An replied with a frown.
This woman was always trying to start something with him. This shit is getting really annoying.
Qin Wanru: “???”
She thought that she heard him wrong for a moment. This guy had the nerve to talk back?
“You are out of your mind!” Qin Wanru’s entire body was shaking. “You’re but a live-in son-in-law, your entire existence belongs to Chu clan! There is no such concept of a private letter!”
You have successfully trolled Chu Wanru for +530 Rage!
Only now did Zu An finally react. This world was entirely different from his past one. Live-in son-in-laws, fugitives, and people of the lower class were all of the same level of hierarchy. When the country was in danger and it was time to draft soldiers, they would be the first to be chosen.
Even though Chu clan’s young master was different from a normal son-in-law, he wasn’t much better off.
There wasn’t anything like basic human rights in this world. Seems like he expected too much.
Even so, as a man, I can’t let someone treat me like this!
Zu An said coldly, “Since the Madam holds me in contempt, then forget it! I’ll just leave this Chu clan if I have to!”
This woman keeps harassing me again and again! If it wasn’t because of Chu Chuyan and Little Huanzhao, I would’ve already left a long time ago.
He helped Chu clan keep their market share in the weapons market. Just this alone already saved Chu clan a ton of silver.
He even gave Chu Chuyan this Evanescent Lotus, bringing her cultivation to the doorstep of seventh rank. She was now the greatest cultivation talent in this entire world! Having a talent like this in the family would bring endless glory. This wasn’t something gold could ever hope to exchange for.
He was even toiling every night to rescue her daughter!
Yet there wasn’t a word of gratitude. This woman instead found all types of ways to hound him.
Today’s events were merely the last straw that broke the camel’s back. He finally couldn’t take it anymore.
It might also be because of the life and death experiences in the dungeon, but he already fought against a ninth rank, even those who were higher rank! His mindset already changed greatly.
When he returned to Brightmoon City, this place seemed like a newbie starting town. Even though there were still many experts in this city that could crush him to death instantly, this still didn’t hinder his new mindset.
After all, he even survived a place like that dungeon, so how could this current situation scare him?
It was just moving out of Chu clan. He already had enough cultivation to protect himself, and he had money. The academy even had a dorm for him.
At worst, he’ll just sneak back to give Chu Chuyan treatment.
