After Old Man Mi left, Zu'an was pondering the secret relationships among the group and how he should deal with them.
Suddenly, a faint, elegant fragrance wafted over. He turned around and saw Chu Chuyan standing beside him with a frosty expression.
"Wife, what brings you here?" Zu'an was both surprised and delighted, as it was rare to see her come over.
Chu Chuyan was incredibly beautiful; just seeing her every day would brighten my mood considerably.
"I heard you didn't go home yesterday?" Chu Chuyan's gaze swept around, finally landing on his clothes, as if she was thinking about something.
Zuan nodded: "Yesterday, Wang Yuanlong treated us to dinner. I took Wei Suo home when he was drunk, and then he threw up all over me. The Wei family let me stay there to shower and change. I thought it was too late, so I slept there."
"Oh~" Chu Chuyan said "oh" and turned to leave.
Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 233!
Zuan was a little confused. Why was she suddenly angry?
Previously, she rarely showed any anger, and even when she did, it was usually only a double digit. But recently, her temper seems to have gotten much worse.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he chuckled, "Wife, you didn't wait for me all night last night, did you?"
Chu Chuyan froze, a faint blush spreading from her neck upwards, but she immediately spat out, "Pah, you're just being presumptuous."
After saying that, he left even faster than before.
Zuan laughed even more heartily, but thinking that he had given up his beautiful wife and fragrant bed for Old Man Mi's mission, he realized that this was quite a sacrifice.
After breakfast, Cheng Shouping came to urge Zu'an to go to school again, as it was his duty as a page.
Zuan looked annoyed, thinking that going to school every day was really troublesome.
There's not much he can learn at the academy now, since the magical techniques he's learning can't be improved through the academy, so going or not going doesn't really make a difference.
But he also happens to be an arithmetic teacher. While it's not a big deal if one student skips class occasionally, it's too conspicuous if the teacher skips class.
His attendance rate had been quite low for some time, and if it weren't for his good relationship with Jiang Luofu, this teacher would probably have been fired long ago.
"I'll find an opportunity to ask the beautiful principal if it's possible to retain all the privileges of teachers without having to fulfill their duties," Zu'an pondered this question until he left the house. He didn't think such a request was excessive; after all, society progresses because of lazy people.
"You stinky brother-in-law, you abandoned me again yesterday!" Chu Huanzhao was already waiting at the door, and said angrily when he saw him.
Anger points from Chu Huanzhao: +23 +23 +23...
Zu An chuckled awkwardly: "They invited me for drinks, but you can't drink. If I really took you, your mother and sister would skin me alive."
"But you can't just leave without saying a word!" Chu Huanzhao still remembers how he excitedly waited for Zu'an after class yesterday, only to be greeted by that idiot Cheng Shouping.
"Okay, okay, I won't do it again next time," Zu'an hurriedly replied.
Chu Huanzhao looked at him with some suspicion: "Could it be that I caught you and Ji Xiaoxi having an affair yesterday, and that's why you're deliberately avoiding me?"
Zu An quickly covered her mouth, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one else was paying attention: "Keep your voice down. It's really indecent for a young girl like you to keep talking about affairs like that."
Chu Huanzhao snorted: "Of course I'm not as well-behaved and elegant as Ji Xiaoxi."
"This girl is really going to keep going..." Seeing her puffed-up cheeks, Zu An found it particularly amusing and couldn't help but reach out and pinch them.
Chu Huanzhao was about to speak when he was pinched so hard that he lost his breath, and his accusatory words turned into meaningless sobs.
She hurriedly slapped the hand away from her face, and Chu Huanzhao glared at him, her face flushed: "You stinky brother-in-law!"
Zuan was frustrated. He could curse all he wanted, but where was his anger level?
It seems that being too close isn't a good thing. Should I hang her up and spank her to get her angry?
The guards behind him, including Jiao Shanhe, Feng Daniu, and Zhou Lujun, began to whisper among themselves:
"It's not quite right for the son-in-law to casually put his arm around the second young lady's shoulder and even hug her."
"What do you know? The second young lady herself hasn't said anything, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm just afraid of being punished by Madam if she finds out!"
Thinking of Qin Wanru's fierceness and authority, the group shuddered.
Cheng Shouping chimed in from the side: "Hehe, you guys don't understand. I think the young master will marry the second young lady sooner or later. Then the madam won't blame him."
The others suddenly realized:
"You make a very good point!"
"The son-in-law is truly a role model for men."
"I really need to find an opportunity to ask him for advice. I can't even handle one wife in my family."
...
Upon arriving at the academy, Chu Huanzhao suddenly exclaimed in surprise and ran to the school gate with a curious look, staring at Lu De: "Hey, Director, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Rude, who usually pays great attention to his appearance, had dark circles under his eyes today, as if he had been punched by someone.
However, he has profound cultivation and is usually so fierce, who would dare to hit him?
Rude awkwardly covered his left eye: "I accidentally bumped into the wall when I got up last night."
"Oh dear, how strong must the wall be to knock our Director Lu this badly?" A mocking voice came from behind, and Bai Susu looked on with a smug expression.
"Mind your own business! Can't I just be careless for a moment?" Rude retorted, having never gotten along with him before.
