Before Xue'er could speak, Zu'an launched into a barrage of words: "I just accidentally fell into the pond, and Xue'er came to save me, but she slipped and fell in too. Luckily, I can swim a little, so I managed to pull her out."
Who knows who wants to kill him? Let's avoid a confrontation for now and wait until I have more information.
Xue'er's expression shifted between light and dark, but she ultimately did not refute it.
"Is that really the case?" Chu Chuyan glanced at Xue'er. "You're all soaked. Go take a bath and change your clothes first, then we'll eat."
After saying that, he drifted away, leaving Zu An speechless with disbelief. Dressed in white, his feet never touched the ground; seeing him like that in the middle of the night, he thought he was seeing a ghost.
However, he immediately realized a problem: "Xue'er, where are we going to bathe and change? Why don't we go together?"
"Get out!" Xue'er thought to herself, if I weren't so disheveled right now, I would beat you so badly that even your own mother wouldn't recognize me and I would take your surname from you.
She glanced at the sunflower seeds scattered on the ground with a pang of heartache, stomped her foot, and jogged away.
Fortunately, Chu Chuyan sent a servant to lead the way. After taking a bath and changing clothes in the room, Zu An looked at his reflection in the mirror. He looked about seven or eight parts like his past self, except that he was much thinner. However, he was already very satisfied: "He is still so handsome. Although he can't compare to Pan An, he is still a little bit better than Ximen Qing."
He had been looking forward to having dinner with his cheap wife, but Chu Chuyan didn't show up at all; someone just brought over some food.
"Damn, do you think I'm a criminal?" Zu An suddenly realized that he had overestimated the status of a son-in-law in this world. Judging from this situation, he didn't even have the right to sit at the table for a meal.
"I won't eat food offered with contempt!" Zuan didn't understand why he was willing to endure such humiliation in this life. He picked up the food and threw it aside. Before long, his stomach started growling, and the aroma of the food kept wafting over.
Zuan frowned, but ultimately decided that a true man can bend and stretch. He quickly picked up the food again and devoured it all. To be honest, the food the chef made was quite delicious.
After finishing his meal, Zuan felt much more comfortable and began to think about how to survive in this world.
He found paper and pen in the room and wrote down the title: Survival Guide in Another World.
Then he began to recall the information he had seen online before, and involuntarily started to miss his computer from his previous life, reminisce about the games on his phone, and miss the thrill of debating with people on forums...
I don't know how much time had passed, but I suddenly noticed that it was already dark outside.
Wait, what was I thinking of doing?
Looking at the draft with only a title, his eyelids twitched. He crumpled it up and threw it away, deciding to go out for a walk to see if he could find out more information.
In this life, he has suffered so much humiliation as a live-in son-in-law. With my helpful nature, I should naturally stand up for him and assert my authority as his husband.
Although he wasn't very familiar with the house, with his silver tongue, he could easily find out where Chu Chuyan lived from the servants. Before he even entered, he heard Xue'er's voice from inside: "Miss, would you like some melon seeds?"
"No, you should eat less too. I heard that eating too many sunflower seeds can damage your front teeth."
"Miss, you scared me again... By the way, that guy is getting more and more outrageous. I felt he was more agreeable before, but I don't know what got into him today."
“I also think he’s different today.” Chu Chuyan nodded. Zu An’s heart had just jumped when she heard her say, “Maybe he was struck by lightning today and he’s a little dazed.”
Zuan: "..."
Xue'er was amused and her body trembled. After a while, she snorted and said, "Miss, this guy did such a thing last night, why didn't you blame him?"
Chu Chuyan said calmly, "What happened last night was very strange. I'll discuss it with my parents tomorrow before making a decision."
Zuan was delighted to hear this. He hadn't expected his cheap wife to be so intelligent. It seemed he wouldn't have to go through those melodramatic soap opera scenarios.
"That guy got off too easy," Xue'er muttered. "Why didn't the lightning strike him dead? Otherwise, Miss, you wouldn't have to guard this good-for-nothing."
"You're not allowed to say things like that again," Chu Chuyan scolded.
Seeing that they hadn't mentioned what happened by the pool earlier, Zu An wondered if it had nothing to do with his cheap wife. No, the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie. He couldn't let his guard down.
Hearing Xue'er continuing to speak ill of him inside the house, Zu'an became furious.
"Uncle can tolerate this, but aunt can't!" She kicked open the door.
Chu Chuyan was also somewhat taken aback by his arrival: "What are you doing here?"
"It's dark, and there's nothing else to do, so of course I'm going to sleep." Zu'an glared at Xue'er, thinking that he would find an opportunity to prepare a mute medicine and see how arrogant she could be then.
Chu Chuyan's face darkened: "Then what are you doing here?"
"Isn't it natural for a husband and wife to sleep together?" Zu An walked into the inner room with a matter-of-fact expression.
Ah~
With a scream, Zuan was kicked out as expected.
Xue'er said gloatingly, "You surnamed Zu, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You still have the audacity to dream of getting close to our young lady?"
To her surprise, the other person did not show any shame or anger on their face, but instead had a smile on their face: "Just as I thought."
Based on the various details from before, Zuan judged that the two should not have had any physical intimacy. This was just a test. Now, he was not angry at all, but happy. He could start conquering this cheap wife from scratch.
