"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I really can't think of any other way." Chu Youzhao leaned over and gently shook Zu An's arm.

"You're already married and you're still acting like a child... Put your clothes on first." Seeing that her loose pajamas made her fair and tender skin particularly dazzling, Zu An turned his head away.

"Oh." Chu Youzhao blushed slightly and hurriedly straightened her clothes and put on her coat.

"Brother-in-law, I'm dressed." After a while, Chu Youzhao said softly, her face flushed. Why am I so unguarded in front of my brother-in-law?

Zuan then turned around: "Why did you do this?"

Chu Youzhao lowered her head and said somewhat apologetically, "Brother-in-law, you know that I am a woman and cannot consummate the marriage. In addition, the Chu family needs an heir, so I can only ask you for help."

"Are you asking me to do this?" Zu'an almost laughed out of anger.

"If we don't act first and ask later, do you think my brother-in-law will agree?" Chu Youzhao muttered.

Zuan: "..."

While it might seem appealing to a man, it's just something I fantasize about when reading novels or seeing ads on telephone poles offering huge sums for a child. In reality, who would do something so absurd?

If Chu Youzhao had told him beforehand, he certainly wouldn't have agreed.

"Does Qinghe know about this?"

"I haven't told her yet. I plan to slowly give her a heads-up." Chu Youzhao said somewhat awkwardly.

Zuan: "..."

“Brother Zu, you don’t need to worry. I asked Qinghe before, and she’s willing to be with you,” Chu Youzhao added.

Zuan stared at her with a question mark in his eyes.

Chu Youzhao blushed slightly before continuing, "Once, I had a heart-to-heart talk with her and asked her who she would have liked if she hadn't met me. It took a lot of effort to get her to open up. Guess who she answered?"

Seeing her somewhat mischievous gaze, Zu An couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart; after all, being liked by a beautiful girl is always a pleasant thing.

"Even so, you can't do this." Zu'an found the whole thing absurd, thinking about it all. "How will Qinghe accept the truth?"

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, leave this to me. She'll accept it." Chu Youzhao's tone seemed exceptionally confident.

Zu'an was originally considering whether to be honest with Murong Qinghe about everything, but what happened today was too absurd. He was worried that Murong Qinghe might do something foolish because he couldn't accept it.

Moreover, the court has just stabilized, and if this matter is exposed and causes further turmoil, it will be detrimental to the overall political situation.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Sometimes, the different your status and position, the more issues you have to consider."

"Then you'd better watch yourselves. If Qinghe can't handle it after she finds out the truth, tell me, and I'll personally apologize to her." Zu'an was extremely annoyed at this moment. What kind of mess was this?

Now, with just a wave of his hand, countless beautiful girls in the capital would line up to go to his bed. There's no need for him to do something like this. Who could have imagined that he would be schemed against like this by the person closest to him?

The key point is that he's actually the one who benefits in this situation, so he doesn't know where to vent his anger.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'll definitely handle this properly." Chu Youzhao was like a child who had done something wrong, constantly trying to make amends.

Zuan snorted, grabbed his clothes, and walked out.

Chu Youzhao was startled: "Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"Return to the palace," Zu An said coldly.

"Going back so late?" Chu Youzhao asked, puzzled.

“Staying here and thinking about that thing is just annoying,” Zuan said irritably.

When he reached the door, Chu Youzhao hurriedly chased after him and grabbed his hand: "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I want to ask you for a favor."

Zu An thought of Chu Chuyan still suffering under the Bridge of Helplessness, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and asked, "What is it?"

"Could you take some time every now and then to come and visit Qinghe?" Chu Youzhao said softly.

Zuan: "???"

Chu Youzhao blushed slightly and could only shyly explain, "I just heard it. Qinghe was very happy. She will definitely not forget what happened tonight. If she pesters me for money in the future... you know I am a girl and I can't help her."

Zuan was so angry he laughed. This girl's thought process was really abnormal.

He snorted and stormed off.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Zitong, who was outside the door, hurriedly came forward: "Your Highness, what is this...?"

"Return to the palace!" Zu An said coldly.

Zhang Zitong was somewhat puzzled, but dared not ask too many questions. So she gathered her men and escorted Zu An away.

At the same time, he had some doubts. He had just caught a glimpse of Prince Chu in his room. If he wasn't in the bridal chamber, why was he in the master's room?

Do adults have a taste for this?

Taking in both a brother and a sister, and on someone else's wedding night?

...

She couldn't help but feel a chill, but she had to admit that the young master of the Chu family had rosy lips and white teeth, and when his hair was down, he was more beautiful than many young girls.

Which man wouldn't be tempted by that?

At this moment, Chu Youzhao in the room watched Zu An's departing figure, her little mouth pouting. Her brother-in-law snorted, wondering whether he agreed or refused.

After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, she suddenly remembered her wife next door. Without thinking twice, she rushed to the wall, pressed the mechanism, and returned to the new house.

She lit a candle not far away, and soon the bridal chamber was bright again.

I went to the bedside and extinguished the sweet incense burning beside it.

Seeing Murong Qinghe's face flushed red, and even though she had fainted, her body was still trembling slightly, her face couldn't help but turn red as well.
