Chu Chuyan was speechless for a moment, clearly not taking his words seriously: "Come with me quickly, they all have a lot to say to you."
Zu'an went back with him, and many members of the Chu family had already gathered around:
"Young master, I didn't expect you to be so skilled. This is a special healing medicine made by the Red Robe Army..."
"Their son-in-law just easily defeated his opponent without sustaining any injuries, what does he need your medicine for?"
"This is not only effective for injuries, but it can also quickly restore vitality. The young master just fought two major battles, so his vitality must have been greatly depleted."
...
"A bunch of sycophants!" Hong Xingying, who was not far away, watched them rushing to curry favor and couldn't help but spit out his own words.
Just a moment ago, quite a few people were showing him concern and care, but now they're all flocking to the Zu family. How opportunistic!
Thinking about how Zu'an had stolen the limelight today, and how his rise in the Chu family was inevitable, his face darkened. What was he going to do in the future?
Just then, everything went dark. He looked up and saw two servants carrying a table in front of him, staring straight at him. He was furious and shouted, "What are you doing?"
It's like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs. Now, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can mess with me?
"Who was it that said if my brother-in-law wins, he'll eat this whole table right now?" A cheerful voice came from behind. Chu Huanzhao was sitting on a stretcher. Although her hand was dislocated, she was clearly in a good mood. Her two slender, fair legs were swinging in the air.
If it were any other day, Hong Xing would have felt his heartstrings being plucked by her swaying slender legs, but upon hearing her words, his face immediately turned bright red.
Chu Huanzhao patted the table next to her: "I specially chose a fine mahogany table. Although it is expensive, the material is softer than other tables. See how considerate I am to you? By the way, I also prepared a pot of water for you. If it's not enough, I'll have them bring another pot. You can eat with it."
“I…” Hong Xingying opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. She regretted not taking the opportunity to pretend to faint earlier, which led to this embarrassing situation.
It's all that guy surnamed Zu's fault!
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 999!
While happily accepting the gifts from everyone, he felt the anger points coming in from the backstage and immediately looked up at Hong Xingying. He saw Chu Huanzhao directing his men to move a huge table that was almost stuck to his desk. He couldn't help but laugh: Is my sister-in-law standing up for me?
At this moment, the Chu couple also sensed the abnormality over there. Seeing Hong Xingying in a very awkward situation, Chu Zhongtian glared at his daughter and said, "Nonsense!"
Chu pouted and said, "That's what he said himself. I didn't force him. During my brother-in-law's competition, he shouted that if my brother-in-law won, he would eat the table on the spot. You should have heard that, right?"
"Alright, alright, you can take a joke seriously," Qin Wanru said with a look. The two servants who were carrying the table were relieved and hurriedly carried the table away. "We're all family. Xiao Hong was just worried and said something without thinking. Don't cause trouble."
Whether it was out of consideration for the housekeeper Hong Zhong or for Hong Xingying's diligent service to the Chu family in previous years, she had to save face for him. However, she also felt some resentment, as Hong Xingying was becoming less and less reliable than before.
Chu wanted to say more, but her older sister stopped her by pulling her hand. She could only pout and turn her face away, sulking to herself.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, madam." Hong Xing hurriedly bowed and thanked them, but his heart was filled with pain. He could almost feel the strange looks from the people around him. It was all because of that guy surnamed Zu.
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 999!
Zuan was immediately annoyed. Why the hell was he angry with me?
Since that's the case, it's clear that the relationship between the two sides can't be eased. He might as well make the most of his anger and suddenly said, "Actually, eating a table isn't that difficult. You can soak it in water for a few days until it's soft, or grind it into powder and swallow it with water. If you think it's tasteless, you can mix some breadcrumbs with it and fry it until golden brown. Maybe you'll be so hungry you'll cry."
Hong Xingying: "..."
Chu Zhongtian: "..."
Qin Wanru: "..."
Who is this guy? What sane person would study how to eat a table?
Qin Wanru snorted: "Someone, take the injured back first."
She was worried that if Hong Xingying stayed there any longer, something else might happen between them, so she quickly separated them.
Zuan was already quite satisfied with the string of "666" anger points in the background. Making money from this thing still needs to be sustainable. The guy surnamed Hong had just gone crazy. If they kept exploiting him, it wouldn't be fun if he got ruined.
After sending the injured, including Hong Xingying, away, the rest of the Chu family rushed to the Chu residence.
Upon returning to the Chu residence, the Chu couple asked the others to wait outside, and then summoned Zu An to their study alone.
The rest of the Chu family members were discussing among themselves, all feeling that Zu An had finally gotten his due. They were all thinking about how to get closer to him in the future, and those who had offended him before were secretly regretting it and thinking about how to make amends.
After closing the door, Zu An laughed and said, "Actually, you don't need to thank me too much. After all, Chu Yan is my wife. It's only right that she contributes to the Chu family. Of course, I wouldn't mind if you really wanted to reward me with 100,000 or 200,000. I'm not picky about rare treasures or anything like that. Or you could arrange a few beautiful maids for me."
Chu Zhongtian: "..."
Qin Wanru: "..."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
"Still thinking about that pretty maid!" Qin Wanru finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand heavily on the table. "Tell me, who sent you here!"

Yesterday's launch made me feel like an ancient groom entering his bridal chamber. Before going in, I didn't know if the bride would be beautiful. On one hand, I hoped she would be a celestial being, and on the other hand, I was afraid she would be ugly. So I was extremely uneasy.
Fortunately, thanks to the strong support of all my readers, the wedding night went quite well yesterday (*￣︶￣). I really want to say thank you all again.
As a thank you, I will be updating three chapters today, but the exact update time is yet to be determined...
