"Xiao Xi, let's go!" Ji Dengtu's dissatisfied voice came from afar, clearly unwilling to see his daughter talking to him.
Ji Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue, gave Zu An an apologetic smile, and then skipped after him.
Zu An glared at Ji Dengtu with a disgruntled look. "Hmph, from now on I'll show you NTR stories every day and leave you with a lifelong trauma."
Well, speaking of which, Xiao Xi is quite cute. I wonder if she grew up eating cute things.
How could such a despicable and disgusting guy like Ji Dengtu have such an adorable daughter? Her mother's genes must be incredibly strong.
Zuan yawned. He had been running around for the past two or three days and had hardly slept, so he went back to the courtyard and fell asleep as soon as he got home.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when they were having breakfast, Qin Wanru glanced at Zu An and said softly, "Zu, you should go to the academy to thank Principal Jiang. She helped look for you everywhere when you were arrested."
Chu Huanzhao, who was standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Mother, why has your voice suddenly become so gentle?"
"What do you mean by suddenly becoming gentle? I've always been very gentle, okay!" Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows.
Chu Huanzhao looked at him with a disbelief: "Mother, why is your face red?"
Qin Wanru was startled and hurriedly touched her face. It was indeed a little hot. She was both embarrassed and annoyed: "You brat, are you asking for trouble today?"
He was about to grab her when Chu Huanzhao was so frightened that she hurriedly ran behind Zu An to hide: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, help me!"
Qin Wanru caught up with him and saw Zu An smiling. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took a step back, saying, "You guys eat slowly, I'm going back to rest."
After saying that, he left hastily, feeling somewhat guilty.
Chu Huanzhao emerged from behind Zu An and couldn't help but blink: "Brother-in-law, don't you think Mother is acting a little strange?"
"It's alright," Zuan said with an awkward smile.
“Something’s not right. Something’s very wrong with you guys.” Chu Huanzhao looked Zu An up and down.
Zu An was startled and was about to explain when Chu Huanzhao suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, do you think it's possible that a bad person is impersonating Mother?"
So much has happened in the Chu family lately that she's become quite paranoid.
Zuan: "..."
"What nonsense are you thinking? Don't you even recognize your own mother?"
“That’s true,” Chu Huanzhao smiled sheepishly, “It should be Mother, her breasts are still so big…”
Zuan was speechless. Is this how you make your judgment?
Suddenly a figure walked over quickly. Zu An was startled and was about to be on guard when he saw the person kneel down and bow.
"Commander Yue, what are you doing? Please get up!" Zu An recognized the other party's identity; it was none other than Yue Shan, the guard commander of the Chu family.
Yue Shan shook his head: "Because of my carelessness, I was lured away from the mountain. If it weren't for the son-in-law being here these days, the Chu family would have been usurped by villains. So the son-in-law must accept my bow."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to him.
Zu'an noticed that he looked travel-worn, with dark circles under his eyes indicating that he had been traveling day and night. He couldn't help but feel admiration: "Commander Yue, you must be tired from your journey. Please get up."
Yue Shan sighed: "I was just traveling, which is nothing compared to my son-in-law who was risking his life on the line and single-handedly quelled the rebellion of Chu Tiesheng and Hong Zhong."
He admired him greatly. At first, when the son-in-law came to the Chu family, he was actually a little displeased with him. After all, how could such a fairy-like person as Miss Chu marry such a scoundrel? But as time went on, Zu An gradually showed his extraordinary abilities, and this time he even turned the tide.
As expected of the young lady, her discerning eye is truly unmatched.
Zu An laughed heartily: "Commander Yue, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
Yue Shan said solemnly, "My son-in-law has made great contributions but is not arrogant. He is truly of noble character and worthy of our emulation..."
Hearing his string of horse-related phrases, Zu'an blushed a little. This honest man was surprisingly good at flattering people, especially since he was so serious and seemed to be genuinely pleased.
Chu Huanzhao, who was standing to the side, snorted: "I told you long ago that my brother-in-law is amazing. You all thought I was a fool. Now you believe me, right?"
Yue Shan gave a wry smile: "Second Miss's insight is truly remarkable, I am truly impressed!"
Seeing that the usually upright and composed Yue Shan admired him, Chu Huanzhao immediately beamed with joy.
Seeing her looking so arrogant, Zu An coughed lightly and hurriedly interrupted, "The Chu family is still in a period of turmoil, and we will need to rely on Commander Yue for many things in the future."
Yue Shan cupped his hands in greeting: "This is what I should do. I will go and pay my respects to the Madam first and ask her for instructions on the next steps."
Zu An smiled slightly: "Commander Yue, go ahead. But you can rest after you see the lady. I see you're exhausted from your journey."
Yue Shan felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you, son-in-law."
On the way to the academy, Chu kept chattering away:
"Brother-in-law, I'm really benefiting from your kindness today. Yue Shan usually doesn't talk to anyone except Father and Sister. He acts all high and mighty."
"I never imagined that Yue Shan, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be such a good flatterer."
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, tell me the details of your battle with Old Man Mi."
"Brother-in-law, are you even listening to what I'm saying?"
...
After arriving at the academy, Chu went to the classroom, while Zu An went to the principal's office.
As I arrived at the principal's office, I saw Shang Liuyu coming out, her long hair flowing and her skirt fluttering, still as elegant and refined as ever.
