"Autumn Red Tears?"

Qin Wanru's face instantly turned ugly. She had never seen such a live-in son-in-law in her life. Not only did he not fulfill his husbandly duties and seduce other women, but now women had come to her door.

Chu Chuyan's expression wasn't very pleasant either. No wife would be happy to hear that a popular courtesan had come to see her husband in the middle of the night.

"Who is Qiu Honglei looking for?" Chu Zhongtian, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a long time.

"Looking for the son-in-law?" Cheng Shouping blinked, recalling that he seemed to have heard the master secretly praising Qiu Honglei's beauty a few years ago. Could it be that he was jealous of the son-in-law?

In every aspect, the master is far superior to the son-in-law, except when it comes to picking up girls.

For so many years, he had never had a concubine in his family, and it was because of this that he was banished to the woodshed.

Look at that son-in-law, he's only been here a few days and he's already surrounded by all sorts of women.

My lord, you should learn from this!

Sensing the strange looks from everyone, Zu An said awkwardly, "Maybe they have something important to discuss with me. I'll go out and see."

"Serious business? What serious business could a courtesan from a brothel come knocking on your door in the middle of the night?" Qin Wanru snorted. "Perfect, I'll go along and see what it's all about."

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I'll go take a look too."

Qin Wanru couldn't help but glare at her husband. What was this guy curious about, or did he want to see Qiu Honglei herself?

However, she couldn't make a scene in front of so many servants.

He could only glare fiercely at Zuan; this was the guy who caused all of this!

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 333!

Zuan was numb to receiving her anger level and thought, "Let her be. She can't possibly eat me alive."

A group of people rushed towards the door. Although Chu Chuyan didn't say anything from beginning to end, her silent following along spoke volumes.

Upon arriving at the main gate, they found that a large crowd had already gathered there, all members of the Chu family who had come to see the spectacle after hearing the news.

After all, Qiu Honglei's reputation for beauty was known throughout Mingyue City, from eighty-year-old elders to young children; there wasn't a single man who didn't know it.

Despite the Chu family's strict discipline, everyone couldn't resist their curiosity and came to see this legendary beauty.

After all, given their status and income, they would never have the chance to see the most beautiful courtesan at Shenxianju on a regular basis.

"Looks like that, figure like that, wow~"

"If I could have a wife like that... no, even just one day with her, I'd die happy."

"She's so beautiful, she's just as pretty as the young lady."

"I'm going to die. How dare you compare me to the young lady... But the young lady is too cold. Qiu's smile is indeed more captivating."

"I heard she came to see her son-in-law, how is that possible?"

"Your information is too outdated. Your son-in-law is very good at this."

...

Of course, not everyone was so excited. When Chu Hongcai heard that Qiu Honglei had arrived, he could hardly believe his ears. He even put his shoes on the wrong feet and rushed out. Sure enough, he saw the figure he had been longing for.

He was completely captivated by her every smile and gesture, yet this perfect woman was now visiting another man in the middle of the night.

Chu Hongcai felt as if his heart was a porcelain vase falling from a height onto a hard floor, shattering instantly into countless small pieces.

Well, just like Yu Cheng said, it's better for A Zu to benefit than for the other men; at least the benefits won't go to outsiders.

But why do I still feel like crying?

...

Hearing the faint whispers around her, Qiu Honglei remained unmoved, still standing there with a smile on her face, quietly waiting for that person to come out.

The gate opened quickly, and upon seeing Chu Zhongtian, the previously excited guards immediately stopped smiling, stood tall with their heads held high and eyes straight ahead, and ceased their incoherent talk.

Qin Wanru came out in a rage, but the moment she saw Qiu Honglei, her anger seemed to be instantly choked up.

How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world?

The eldest daughter is also very beautiful, but her beauty is like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, with a sense of being detached from worldly affairs.

But the woman before him possessed the ultimate beauty in the mortal world, and her entire being exuded femininity. Not to mention men, even women would find themselves fantasizing upon seeing her.

But she immediately realized the next second, why should I praise this woman who stole my daughter's man?

Bah, vixen!

She was about to say something when she suddenly noticed that her husband was staring intently at the other person. She was so angry that she hurriedly went over and secretly pinched him hard.

Chu Zhongtian blushed and used a cough to cover up his embarrassment.

"Greetings, Lord Mingyue, Madam Chu, and Miss Chu." Qiu Honglei was slightly surprised to see them come out, but she was not too nervous. She smiled and bowed to each of them, her every move graceful and elegant, leaving no room for criticism.

Chu Zhongtian glanced at his wife guiltily, but as the head of the family, he naturally had to answer. He cleared his throat and said, "Miss Qiu, what brings you here so late?"

"Honglei came here today to say something to Azu. I didn't expect to disturb the master and madam. I am truly sorry." Qiu Honglei bowed slightly to express her apology, which melted the hearts of the men around her. They had no intention of blaming her.

"What do you want with Azu?" Qin Wanru asked with displeasure. She knew that her daughter was usually rather cold and might not be able to bring herself to say anything, so as her mother, she naturally had to help keep an eye on things.

Hmm, if it were before, I would probably be happy for that annoying guy Zaun to be taken away by someone else. Why am I worried about him being taken away by someone else now?
