"Thank you both very much." Zuan had just made a lot of money from them, and on top of that, he had discovered a new use for Cheng Shouping, so he was in a pretty good mood.
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan exchanged a few pleasantries with him and then left. As soon as they were out of his sight, Sang Qian's smiling face instantly turned gloomy: "I'm so angry! Why was I so blinded by greed to help him change the bet?"
Zheng Dan, who was standing to the side, also smiled wryly and said, "Who would have thought that a servant or page would be so bold as to take his master's money and gamble recklessly?"
Sang Qian suddenly had a thought: "This is indeed illogical. Do you think it might be that Zu An instructed him to guess that we were going to modify his plan, so he deliberately pretended to lose the bet, while at the same time sending the wrong information to the Yuan family?"
“In that case, his intelligence is too extraordinary,” Zheng Dan frowned and shook his head. “I think it’s not that he guessed we would change his betting plan, but that he originally intended to use 10,000 taels to mislead the Yuan family, and we just accidentally changed it back.”
"Damn it!" Sang Qian felt that he was having a really bad year, his luck was just unbelievable.
Anger from Sang Qian: +999!
"Our plan to change the betting slip has failed. What should we do next?" Zheng Dan took out the new betting slip she had just prepared from her pocket and quickly tore it into pieces with her slender fingers.
"It seems I'll have to trouble you again." Sang Qian looked at Zheng Dan.
Zheng Dan frowned, her face instantly turning cold: "You want me to use my honey trap again?"
Sang Qian chuckled awkwardly, "Since you're going to look for the IOU for 7.5 million taels anyway, we can go together this time..."
Zheng Dan interrupted him directly, her face frosty: "You surnamed Sang, why do you keep pushing your fiancée into other men's arms? Do you have some kind of special fetish?"
Sang Qian immediately became anxious: "I didn't ask you to actually give yourself to him. Didn't you say he never took advantage of you? How does that mean you're being pushed into his arms?"
Zheng Dan looked like she was about to cry: "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Besides, this Zu An isn't as useless as the legends say. Who knows, I might accidentally let him take advantage of me. If that happens, I won't be able to live."
Actually, based on previous interactions, she wasn't particularly resistant to getting close to Zu'an again, but she couldn't show that she wanted to. Only by making Sang Qian feel guilty and know that he was forced into it would he cherish her more and not hold a grudge about it after they got married.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, with tears streaming down her face as she returned the pearl to its rightful owner, Sang Qian's heart almost broke. He hurriedly comforted her, "I know you've been wronged. Don't worry, I'll protect you. If that Zu fellow dares to bully you, I'll make sure he takes his life!"
"Really?" Zheng Dan looked at the other person with her big, watery eyes.
“Of course it’s true!” Looking at his beautiful fiancée, Sang Qian’s heart softened. “Forget it, let’s just forget about the 7.5 million taels and stay away from him.”
Zheng Dan shook his head: "No, 7.5 million taels is no small amount, not to mention that we also have 1 million taels of our own this time. For our future, I must take this risk."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you." Sang Qian looked at the gentle and classically beautiful woman in front of him and thought to himself that he was really lucky to have found such a virtuous wife.
Zheng Dan was secretly pondering how to get closer to Zu An next.
On the other side, Zuan sneezed loudly, rubbed his nose, and said, "It must be some young wife thinking about me again."
Cheng Shouping fawned over him, saying that he had witnessed his son-in-law's great prowess today, even defeating a fifth-rank expert and winning the family competition for the Chu family. He knew that his status in the family would rise rapidly, and he himself would rise with him.
At this point, let alone other people's wives missing their sons-in-law, even if it were my own wife missing her son-in-law, I would wholeheartedly support it.
"Aren't you afraid your wife will hear you saying that?" A teasing voice rang out at this moment, and Pei Mianman walked over, carrying a faint fragrance.
Zuan laughed and said, "My wife said she doesn't mind if I find other women."
Pei Mianman was taken aback, not expecting him to be so self-righteous: "Would Chu Chuyan say such a thing?" It was really hard to connect this sentence with her best friend.
“If you don’t believe me, go ask her yourself,” Zu’an pointed to Chu Chuyan not far away. “How about it, are you interested in being my woman? You and Chuyan are good friends, you’ll definitely get along.”
Cheng Shouping, standing to the side, was shocked. He thought to himself that his son-in-law was really fierce. He had underestimated him before. He actually dared to flirt with his wife's best friend in front of her. This... this... when will my son-in-law be able to give me some pointers?
"Want to be my man?" Pei Mianman chuckled lightly, not getting angry. "It's not impossible, but unfortunately, your strength is far from sufficient right now."
Cheng Shouping glanced at her and blushed, lowering her head. Her heart was pounding. What a vixen! Her alluring peach blossom eyes were irresistible with just one look. The young master was truly a dragon among men, able to chat with her so calmly.
"When will you be done calling?" Zu'an asked with a smile.
“You’ll know when the time comes,” Pei Mianman said, noticing Chu Chuyan walking towards her. She clearly had no intention of teasing her anymore. “Alright, I’m leaving now. Don’t forget what we agreed on.”
After saying that, she drifted away, leaving only a lingering fragrance in the air.
"What did you agree on?" Chu Chuyan walked over and looked at him suspiciously.
“We agreed that she would be my concubine in the future,” Zu’an replied. Cheng Shouping, who was standing to the side, was completely impressed. “My son-in-law is truly a brave man!”
