Upon seeing the large "Jade" character on the jade pendant, the gatekeeper's eyes widened: "I was blind to your greatness. May I ask your name, sir?"
Zu An said impatiently, "What do you care what I'm called? Just go in and report." He didn't want to leave any information for that so-called Master Jian to investigate.
"Unfortunately, my lady has gone to the neighboring prefecture to handle some business matters," the doorman said with a wry smile.
Zuan was taken aback: "When will she be back?"
"It will take at least ten days to half a month," the doorman said after thinking for a moment.
"What a waste of my time." Zuan turned and left, feeling a bit annoyed. Yu Yanluo wasn't here. Could it be that she deliberately gave me an empty promise before?
After taking a few steps, he realized something was wrong, so he went back to the gatekeeper, spread his hands, and said, "Give me back my money!"
The doorman immediately looked like he'd eaten shit. How could someone be so shameless as to ask for the money he'd just given away back? He wouldn't have paid any attention to anyone else, but this guy was clearly a friend of the lady, and he dared not offend him.
He had no choice but to reluctantly return the silver.
Anger from the doorman +66!
Zu An thought to himself that this guy only provided so little anger points, no wonder he didn't even deserve a name. He had once collected more than 20,000 anger points, and he was really not used to these scattered ones.
After leaving the Yu family, he spent half a day wandering around Mingyue City to familiarize himself with the city's environment. After all, many decisions need to be based on sufficient intelligence, and he still knew too little about this world.
He walked around and looked around, spending most of the day exploring every street and alley of Mingyue City. Although he couldn't say he had been to every corner, he at least had a general understanding of the layout of Mingyue City and the locations of some important landmarks, and was no longer completely clueless about Mingyue City as before.
As darkness fell, Zu An estimated that it was about time and returned to the Chu residence.
He inquired with the servants and discovered that Chu Chuyan still hadn't returned, and it seemed she hadn't been home for days. Suddenly, he felt a toothache.
He had originally planned to borrow some money from her to deal with the trouble with the Plum Blossom Gang, since she had been quite generous when she borrowed 300 taels of silver from him at the ancestral hall.
As for feeling embarrassed about asking women for money? Not at all. If you're going to be a kept man, you should be aware of it. Since he's received so much disdain and discrimination because of his status as a live-in son-in-law, what's wrong with enjoying the rights he deserves?
In fact, when Zuan watched Animal World in his previous life, he was quite envious of the male lions on the African savanna. They didn't have to do anything except fight all day long. They had a huge harem, and even the hunting was done by the lionesses in the harem.
Hmm, I've decided. It's too unambitious to live off one man alone. I'm going to be the king of gigolos!
However, he immediately thought of his disappointing little brother and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" an old voice sounded from behind.
Zu An was startled. He turned around and saw Old Man Mi standing at the door: "Why do you walk so quietly?"
Old Man Mi completely ignored his question and instead asked, "You're back from the academy?"
"Hmm." Zu An thought to himself that he wasn't exactly lying; he had indeed gone to the academy today, but he hadn't gone inside.
"Have you met Wei Hongde yet?" Old Man Mi asked quietly, his body hunched over.
Zuan casually replied, "I just went there today, and I haven't had a chance to get to know him yet."
Old Man Mi said "Oh," and reminded him, "Then you'd better hurry up."
"I understand." Zu An felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he would find an opportunity to inquire about that guy surnamed Feng, so as to give him an explanation.
"Then you should rest by yourself." Old Man Mi turned and left.
Just as I reached the door, a fiery red figure ran over, like a beautiful fire sprite: "Hey, Zu, I haven't seen you at school today!"
The one who came was naturally Chu Huanzhao, the second young lady of the Chu family.
Upon hearing her words, Old Man Mi suddenly turned around, staring at Zu An with a somewhat puzzled look in his eyes.
"You have no manners! Don't you even know how to call your brother-in-law?" Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly glared at Chu Huanzhao.
Anger value from Chu Huanzhao +24!
Just as Chu Huanzhao was about to explode, he suddenly remembered the bet from that night and reluctantly called out, "Sister...Brother-in-law, why didn't I see you at school today?"
Noticing Old Man Mi's gaze, Zu An chuckled awkwardly: "The school is so big, it's normal that you can't find me."
Chu shook his head: "That's not right. I looked through all the freshman classes and didn't see you. You didn't just join an upperclassman as soon as you arrived, did you?"
Mylian Ying's anger level increased by 99!
Noticing Old Man Mi's gloomy eyes, Zu An knew he had probably seen through the truth. Just as he was worrying whether Old Man Mi would beat him up, a figure burst in:
"You bastard, Zu'an! We sent you to the academy with the best of intentions to hone your skills, and you actually dared to skip class!"
