"Yes, yes."

Zhan Wushuang quickly added, "The Ji family has just returned, and the main residence has been returned to them. There are many things to take care of, so we will arrive later."

"Oh, I see. This young man is really handsome; he's definitely not lying."

Upon seeing Fan Qiyue, Madam Zhen's eyes immediately lit up with admiration. With a beaming smile, she stepped forward, took his hand, and praised, "Oh my, you know, everyone is human, but how come this young master is so handsome? He's so good-looking, and his skin is even better than that of a young lady."

"Auntie, you flatter me."

Since she came from a matriarchal society, Fan Qiyue was naturally pleased when someone praised her beauty, and she lowered her head shyly.

"No, Auntie is telling the truth. You are a really good-looking child."

Mother Zhen lingered for a while, reluctant to part with Fan Qiyue, before finally grabbing his hand and glaring at Zhen Yun with a cold expression. "What are you still doing here? The Ji family has no male heirs. As a son-in-law, why aren't you helping out? How could I have given birth to such a dim-witted person?!"

"My wife, look, the child just came back..."

Finally, Mr. Zhen, wearing an apron, appeared and stood aside cautiously, wanting to say something on behalf of his son.

"Um?"

However, before she could finish speaking, she was silenced by a cold glare from her mother.

"Uh, the food in the pot is going to burn, I'll go check it out."

Mr. Zhen glanced at Zhen Yun helplessly, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

The master and his disciples: "..."

So it turns out that Zhen Yun's henpecked nature is hereditary!

"Bang..."

Then, before Zhen Yun could react, his mother pulled Jun Feijue and the others into the house, while he was left outside.

Finally, Jun Feijue and the others ate and drank their fill thanks to the hospitality of Zhen's mother, while Zhen Yun buried his face in his wife's arms and wept bitterly.

This is truly unbearable.

After that, because the Ji family's matter could not be resolved in the short term, Jun Feijue and the others temporarily stayed at the Zhen family's residence.

During their stay, the Zhen family was extremely hospitable and attentive in every way; they were practically calling them ancestors.

Having been treated so well, Jun Feijue and his group felt embarrassed to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb. They found a time to personally find the head of the Zhen family and confront him.

"No, no, it's already an honor for the Duke to come to my Zhen family. We wouldn't dare to ask for anything more!"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Zhen family quickly put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression and said, "We are only doing this so well to entertain you because we admire your character, Lord. Please don't overthink it."

That's how upright one can be.

"Okay, then."

Upon hearing this, Jun Feijue remained silent for a moment before nodding directly, "Then I won't think about it anymore. Today is mainly to say goodbye."

Patriarch Zhen: "..."

Jun Feijue's decisive attitude caught the Zhen family head off guard for a moment.

My lord, he was just being polite. If you had just persisted one more time, he would have made his request!

Why don't they follow the rules?

Watching the departing master and his disciples, the head of the Zhen family was filled with remorse, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

God, can we turn back time?

If given another chance, he would make a hundred demands without hesitation!

However, there's no going back in life, and the head of the Zhen family could only suppress his immense grief and force a smile as he saw Jun Feijue and the others off.

"Pfft, haha..."
