Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru’s faces turned pale in fright when they heard her words.
Qn Wanru immediately pulled her daughter to the side. “Chuyan, you cannot make such a rash decision! We will think of a different way!”
Chu Zhongtian on the other hand was looking at Zu An with an extremely complicated expression. This son-in-law of his really was something else!
Everyone knew that there was nothing special about him, all of them even viewing him like a piece of trash. They were already incredibly jealous when they heard that he ended up marrying the Chu clan’s first miss.
Yet now, this absolutely stunning Qiu Honglei even fell for him. She was even throwing herself at him so aggressively!
Was this even luck anymore? Was he a hero in his past life or something?
Sigh, even with my status as Brightmoon Duke, I probably won’t be able to land a girl like Qiu Honglei unless I use my authority, right?
Why do I suddenly feel a bit sour?
The hero in this situation, Zu An, was currently thinking about those soap operas of his past world. There were many times where the heroine would offer up their bodies to the villains when the protagonist got captured.
Then is Qiu Honglei that villain, and I am the heroine?
But this doesn’t feel bad at all?
I’ll take another one please.
Chu Chuyan also spoke up at this time. “I know what I am doing mother.”
Many of the clan’s matters were already placed under Chu Chuyan’s management. To a certain extent she was already a vice clan master.
Qin Wanru couldn’t say much either after hearing that she made her decision.
But why did she feel so uncomfortable?
What clan in Brightmoon City, no, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty had a son-in-law this unbridled?!
Just how long has it been since he joined the clan? And he already has a concubine?
Speaking of, can live-in son-in-laws even have concubines?
The wife’s family is even helping him get a concubine!
Why do I feel like everyone is climbing on top of our Chu clan these days? Just who is the dukedom here?!
You have successfully trolled Qin Wanru for +66 +66 +66…
Qiu Honglei relaxed inside when she heard Chu Chuyan’s agreement. Her actions indeed carried quite the risk. If the Chu clan really didn’t agree, then things would become complicated.
She also knew to get out while she was aheads. Since the other party agreed, then she wouldn’t play any other tricks. She immediately spoke about Wang Yuanlong’s whereabouts to appease their anger. “From the information I received previously, young master Wang seems to be kept in Cleverjade Lane.”
“Cleverjade Lane!” Chu Zhongtian thought to himself no wonder they couldn’t find it! He was actually being kept in a brothel!
All of their men were searching those remote and hidden places, but the other party was hiding right in the city!
“Yue Shan!” Chu Zhongtian immediately gave out orders. Since they knew where Wang Yuanlong was, then the rest became much easier.
This type of matter didn’t require him leaving himself. With Yue Shan commanding a group of elite troops, they’ll be able to take care of even Chen Xuan if he shows up.
Yue Shan quickly accepted the order and left. Then, Chu Zhongtian stared at Qiu Honglei.
After all, compared to Wang Yuanlong, he cared more about his daughter’s happiness.
Chu Zhongtian thought over his wording a bit. “So, lady Qiu, why did you end up… favoring Zu An? To be honest, I find it a bit hard to believe even now.”
Qin Wanru and Chu Chuyan on the side nodded in full agreement. They weren’t saying Zu An was bad, but this matter was too strange.
“Respected Brightmoon Duke, I actually do not know either. Love moves in strange ways. These days, I’ve only had a single thought in my mind, and that was to marry him,” Qiu Honglei said with a bashful expression.
Chu Chuyan gave Zu An a fierce glare. What the heck did this guy do to scam this girl?
You have successfully trolled Chu Chuyan for +33 +33 +33…
Zu An burst out laughing when he saw the Rage points come in. His wife’s jealousy was adorable.
Chu Zhongtian was also stupefied. After a long time passed, he sighed and said, “How does lady Qiu plan to leave Immortal Abode if Wang Yuanlong is successfully rescued? I can send some people to ransom the lady.”
Qin Wanru kicked her husband fiercely under the table, leaving Chu Zhongtian completely dumbfounded. He immediately asked with a voice transmission, “Madam, what’s wrong?”
Qin Wanru replied, “Why are you being so proactive on this matter? Are you itching to bring her into our estate or something?”
Chu Zhongtian defended himself in a panic, “Madam, what are you saying? We’ve already promised her! The Chu clan has been as good as their word for hundreds of years. We cannot let our reputation be ruined under our hands.”
“Do you care about your daughter at all? Seems like you’re already eager to drag in a vixen to compete with her!” Qin Wanru kicked with even more force. “Are you really doing this for Ah Zu or for yourself?”
Chu Zhongtian smiled bitterly, “Madam, it’s not like you don’t know about my situation. How could I have these types of thoughts?”
Qin Wanru’s face flushed red. She knew that she was being unreasonably jealous here. But this was how she was, so she wasn’t willing to just back down. She continued to grumble, “Even if you can’t touch her, just looking is probably still a type of enjoyment right? This is a vixen that even makes my heart rate quicken when I look at her, let alone you men!”
Chu Zhongtian: “……”
He realized that talking reason with his wife wasn’t an intelligent move. The more he said, the more mistakes he made. That was why he decided to just shut his mouth.
Qiu Honglei gave the two of them a look. As if she guessed what they were discussing, she said with a smile, “I do not need to trouble Brightmoon Duke for this. I have put aside some savings during these years, and I’ve already talked things out with mama Hua in Immortal Abode. There is no issue with me freeing myself.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Even Qin Wanru was in admiration. She had seen people make stupid choices that lost them money instead of made them money, but not like this.
They originally felt like the Chu clan was really taking a loss by letting their daughter marry Zu An, but compared to this Qiu Honglei, it was absolutely nothing.
But Qin Wanru felt more and more annoyed when she thought about how her daughter had to share a man with a brothel girl. She said coldly, “Our Chu clan can still pay this bit of money. If we let lady Qiu free herself and news gets out, our Chu clan will become a huge laughingstock.”
Qiu Honglei shook her head. “Madam Chu, I wish to make one point clear. I am not marrying into the Chu clan, I am not someone who belongs to the Chu clan, but rather Ah Zu. That is why I truly do not dare act so shameless to take Master and Madam’s money.”
