Upon hearing that it was Qiu Honglei's invitation, many men in the room looked on with envy.

Even though they were all guards of the Chu family, everyone knew of Qiu Honglei's reputation for beauty.

The most popular girl in the entire Bright Moon City... oh, no, the entire Linchuan County, which man wouldn't want to kiss her?

"The son-in-law's methods are really wild; he even managed to hook up with Qiu."

"I used to not understand why someone as ethereal as the young lady would fall for the young master, but now I realize I was too naive."

"Unfortunately, the madam caught him red-handed. The son-in-law is in trouble today."

...

Some were happy, some were sad. Most of the guards were just watching the show, but when Chu Hongcai heard that Qiu Honglei had specially sent a visiting card to invite Zu An, he was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

As a die-hard fan of Qiu Honglei, have I ever heard her proactively send out invitations to invite people over the years?

People would often send her invitations to perform at their homes or simply show their faces, which was considered a great honor.

Although nothing happened between the two last night, judging from Qiu's proactive attitude, it's only a matter of time before something does happen.

After all, in his opinion, with Qiu Honglei's beauty and charm, no man could resist her allure.

The thought that his dream goddess would one day be pinned down by Zuan made him want to cry but he couldn't.

Damn it, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred them to sleep together yesterday. Now, this slow, painful process, waiting for that day to come, is only making things more agonizing.

Anger from Chu Hongcai +233!

Zuan glanced at him with some surprise, realizing there was nothing he could do about it.

It's not that I'm a bad guy, it's just that your goddess is too charming.

"I'm talking to you, where are you looking?" Qin Wanru was already annoyed. All those sons-in-law were obedient at home, afraid of offending their wives' families, but this guy didn't have that submissive feeling at all.

Moreover, he even dared to openly flirt with women from brothels, and they even came to his home to find out.

The Chu family is a prestigious and wealthy family, while the other party was just a street urchin. Where did he get the courage to do these things?

If this gets out, what will become of the Chu family's reputation?

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 404!

Zuan then came to his senses. Why was this woman so temperamental all day?

He was about to say something when his gaze suddenly fell on her body. He couldn't help but think of the feeling of accidentally pinching her last night, and his expression became particularly strange.

"Let's talk inside!" Seeing that he didn't answer but just stared at her, Qin Wanru frowned slightly. She didn't want to deal with him at the door, lest outsiders laugh at her.

A group of guards gave him a look of concern, and even Cheng Shouping shrank back.

Zu An thought to himself, "Why can't this guy just give it to me in private? Why does he have to shout it out at the door so everyone can know?"

Hmph, I really need to find a chance to replace him with someone more clever.

Following her all the way to the study, Qin Wanru sat down at the head of the table. After dismissing the others, she slammed her hand on the table beside her and asked, "Do you know your mistake?"

"I don't know what I did wrong. To be honest, it's even more inappropriate for Madam to open my private letters without my permission, isn't it?" Zu An replied with a frown.

This woman would have sex with him all the time; no one could stand that.

Qin Wanru: "???"

For a moment, she thought she had misheard. How dare this guy talk back?

I originally thought that if he admitted his mistake, I could punish him and the matter would be over. But I never expected that he would be so audacious as to talk back to me.

"This is outrageous!" Qin Wanru trembled with anger. "You're nothing but a lowly son-in-law. By all accounts, you belong to the Chu family. What right do you have to think about your private letters!"

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 530!

Zu An then realized that this world was similar to his previous life in ancient times. Sons-in-law, fugitives, and peddlers were all of the same social class and were the first to be selected when the country was in trouble and people were conscripted to serve on the frontier.

Although the son-in-law of the Chu family is certainly different from the average son-in-law, he's not much better.

In a world like this, demanding human rights is simply wishful thinking.

But how could a grown man like him tolerate such injustice!

Zu An said coldly, "Since Madam looks down on me, I'd rather not stay in the Chu family!"

In fact, this woman had caused him trouble time and time again, and if it weren't for Chu Chuyan and Xiao Zhao's sake, he would have given up long ago.

During this period, they helped the Chu family win the family competition and maintain their market share in the weapons market. This alone saved the Chu family an unknown amount of money.

Later, he gave Chu Chuyan the extremely precious Illusionary Lotus, which allowed her to reach the threshold of the seventh rank at a young age. She was one of the top geniuses in the world. In this world, the glory that a core genius brings to a family cannot be measured in money.

Not to mention that she also worked herself to the bone to save her daughter during this time!

He never says a kind word all day long, but instead he is met with all sorts of targeting.

Today's events were just the last straw that broke the camel's back; he finally lost his temper.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced life-or-death battles with ninth-rank or even higher-level experts in the secret realm that his mentality was now incredibly strong.

Back in Brightmoon City, these people seemed like newbies in a starting village—although there were plenty of experts in the city who could easily crush him, it didn't stop him from thinking that way.

After all, they survived such desperate situations in the secret realm, so what is the current situation?

It's just a matter of moving away from the Chu family. Anyway, his cultivation level is now high enough to protect himself, he has money, and there's accommodation at the academy.
