Zu An thought to himself that he had heard long ago that the young master of the Chu family was studying in the capital, but unfortunately he had never met him.

I wonder if this brother-in-law is easy to get along with.

It doesn't matter whether he's easy to get along with or not. Even if he's not easy to get along with, you can just give him a good spanking, and he'll naturally become easy to get along with.

"Yes, I will," Chu Chuyan nodded.

"Also, if you need help, go to your grandfather," Qin Wanru reminded him.

Zu An, standing to the side, suddenly realized that the Chu family was a dukedom. To become Chu Zhongtian's legitimate wife and to have suppressed her husband from taking concubines for so many years, her family must also be a prestigious one. But why had she never heard anyone mention it in the mansion before?

Chu Chuyan hesitated for a moment: "Mother, doesn't Grandpa's family have some dealings with our Chu family...?"

“After all, blood is thicker than water, he shouldn’t just stand by and watch someone die.” Qin Wanru hesitated for a moment, “If he really is heartless, you can go to your aunt, she will definitely help you.”

Upon hearing her aunt's name, Chu Chuyan smiled and said, "Okay."

Back at Qingyin Pavilion, Zu An asked Chu Chuyan with some curiosity, "Your mother has a younger sister?"

“Yes.” Chu Chuyan began packing her things.

"Your biological father?"

"Of course she's my aunt. She was so good to me when I was little, but it's a pity I haven't seen her for many years." Recalling the past, Chu Chuyan's face showed a faint smile.

Zu An said "Oh," then remembered something and hurriedly reminded him, "By the way, you must remember that you are going there to threaten those people for help, not to beg them for help. Don't do anything foolish for the sake of the family's interests."

Chu Chuyan was taken aback: "What silly thing?"

Zuan hesitated for a moment, then explained, "For example, some families might use your innocence as leverage, demanding certain things before they'll help the Chu family. Don't be foolish enough to agree."

There were too many of those ridiculous, melodramatic plots in the old world's TV dramas, and he didn't want them to happen to him, so he was taking precautions in advance.

Chu Chuyan smiled and said, "Oh, are you jealous?"

Zuan snorted: "I'm just reminding you."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, and..." Chu Chuyan blushed slightly, "In my heart... no man can compare to you."

Zu An was thrilled and immediately picked her up and carried her to the bed.

"Wait a minute..." Chu Chuyan was a little flustered and took out a book. "Put this away first."

Zu An looked closely and saw several large characters on the title: "The Overbearing Sword Immortal's 99 Days of Desire for Love".
