However, the thought that a courtesan had to share a man with her daughter made Qin Wanru even more displeased. She said coldly, "Our Chu family can afford this amount of money. If we make Miss Qiu pay for her own redemption, people will laugh at our Chu family."

Qiu Honglei shook her head: "Madam Chu, I would like to make one point clear: I am not a member of the Chu family, but rather a member of Azu's family. Therefore, I really dare not ask the master and madam to spend money."

Qin Wanru: "..."

Chu Zhongtian: "..."

Chu Chuyan: "..."

Even Zuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Red Tears, you've been so good to me."

"Shut up!"

Chu Chuyan and Qin Wanru both glared at him.

Anger level from Chu Chuyan +250!

Anger from Qin Wanru increased by 250!

Zuan wisely shut his mouth; he had gotten the benefit but was still acting innocent, which was indeed a bit deserving of a beating.

Qiu Honglei seemed to be startled as well, looking at Zu An timidly, her eyes darting back and forth between the Chu family members, her expression as pitiful as could be.

Chu Chuyan felt a surge of annoyance, thinking, "I'm not yelling at you, who are you trying to impress with this reaction?"

Qin Wanru was also very unhappy, as if they were some kind of villains bullying others, but such a thing was hard to explain.

It's all that guy Zaun's fault!

The two of them glared at Zuan again without prior arrangement.

Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 444!

Anger level from Qin Wanru +444!

Seeing the anger points generated by the new income in the backend, Zuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and found another way to earn anger points.

It seems that having many female confidantes not only generates a lot of anger from their numerous admirers, but also fuels jealousy and rivalry among the female confidantes.

Those men who build harems are always afraid of disharmony among the women, but I'm different. The fiercer they fight, the better. That way, they'll get angrier, and I'll have more anger points.

I'm a fucking genius!

Chu Chuyan suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Miss Qiu doesn't want to become a member of the Chu family, but Azu is a member of the Chu family. Putting everything else aside, where does Miss Qiu plan to live?"

“Sister is right, I was too presumptuous.” Qiu Honglei smiled slightly. “As for where I will stay, I will stay wherever my grandfather stays. But if my grandfather usually stays with my sister, then just pretend I didn’t say anything, and arrange another small house for me.”

Chu Chuyan felt a surge of anger. This woman clearly knew that I didn't live with Zu An, so wasn't she just trying to provoke her by saying that?

"It must be that guy Zu who poured out his grievances to her, otherwise how would she know so much!" Chu Chuyan glared at Zu An resentfully.

Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 666!

Qin Wanru sneered inwardly. This woman was indeed worthy of coming from a place like Shenxianju. Her methods were quite sophisticated. My daughter, who was as pure as a white flower, was no match for her. No, I have to help my daughter more in the future.

Zuan quickly stepped in to ease the tension: "Actually, I don't care where I live, haha~"

He thought to himself that the three of us could live together, but he wisely kept quiet to save his life.

Qin Wanru spoke up: "Miss Qiu, it's getting late today, let's talk about these things later."

The old fox was shrewd; she planned to first ask the woman to leave, and then they could discuss what to do privately.

To everyone's surprise, Qiu Honglei blushed slightly and said, "Actually, I don't have to go back. Anyway... anyway, I'm already Azu's person."

"Zu'an!" Chu Chuyan suddenly stood up, unable to hold back any longer, and an extremely cold aura suddenly spread out.

Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 1024!

Just as he was about to say something, an unnatural crimson flush flashed across his face, and then he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Before the blood even hit the ground, it had already turned into ice crystals.

"Wife!" Zu An exclaimed in surprise, his previous playful demeanor vanishing as he hurriedly embraced her.

Qiu Honglei's expression changed. Rumors in the martial arts world said that Chu Chuyan had suffered severe internal injuries, but others said that she was actually not seriously injured. Now that she saw her, she had no idea that her injuries were even more serious than the rumors suggested.

"Get away! It's all your fault that she's like this, and you still have the nerve to touch her!" Qin Wanru was both angry and anxious, and reached out to push him away.

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 678!

Zuan said coldly, "Only I can save her now. Do you want to vent your anger, or do you want to save Chu Yan?"

Qin Wanru was taken aback. She remembered that her daughter had mentioned that he had indeed been receiving treatment during this period, and for a moment she couldn't refute it.

Zu An picked up Chu Chuyan and hurriedly ran to her room, while Qin Wanru anxiously followed.

When Chu Zhongtian saw that Zu An had said he would save Chu Yan, and his wife had no objection, he knew that there must be some information he had missed, but he trusted his wife's judgment.

He stayed behind to clean up the mess: "Miss Qiu, it's getting late. Things haven't been peaceful in the city lately. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

Qiu Honglei knew he was worried that she would reveal Chu Chuyan's true injuries if she went out, so she bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Lord Mingyue. I am truly sorry about what happened today."

"This is not your fault." Chu Zhongtian waved his hand irritably. "Someone, take Miss Qiu to rest."

He was worried about Chu Chuyan's injuries and was in a hurry to check on her, so he had no time to deal with her.

Yes~

Soon a servant came and took Qiu Hong away.

On the way, Qiu Honglei suddenly smiled and asked, "Young man, which room are you planning to take me to?"

"Of course, it's the guest room." The servant was so captivated by her radiant smile that he almost lost his mind.

"Why don't you take me to your son-in-law's room?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Didn't your master and mistress tell you that this is how they arranged it?"

"Oh, I see. Okay then."

...

An ordinary servant was no match for Qiu Honglei's seductive arts; with a few simple tricks, she made him obey her every word.
