This case of twenty bottles was worth several hundred thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the collector's edition Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes—five thousand per carton, fifty cartons per case—that was over two hundred thousand. These two items alone were worth a million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a waste not to take them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, holding these two VIP cards, she now had the capital to show off in front of those old friends of hers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ma Lan's money-grubbing look, Xiao Churan called out helplessly, \"Mom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan glared at her. \"What? People sent gifts, can't I accept them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan said, \"I mean we shouldn't accept them. We haven't even figured out what's going on, how can we accept such heavy gifts from them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said indifferently at this time, \"These are apology gifts; they should be accepted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming out, the Pavilion Master had personally instructed that if Mr. Ye didn't accept these things, he wouldn't need to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen turned his head and saw Ma Lan already happily moving the cigarettes and liquor into the house, holding a pair of antique vases and touching and looking at them under the light. He could only shake his head inwardly and say to the middle-aged man, \"You guys go back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then I won't disturb Mr. Ye's rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen closed the door, turned around, but was stunned for a moment. \"Why are you all looking at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the three people in the living room, all six eyes fixed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother-in-law Ma Lan coughed dryly, put on a fake smile, and asked, \"Ye Chen, when did you have a connection with the Treasure Pavilion? Why would they come to our house to send gifts and apologize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head and said, \"Mom, you misunderstood. I don't have any connection with them. The reason they came to apologize is mainly because the Treasure Pavilion has a good service attitude. Their employees made a mistake, and the boss cares about their reputation, so they compensated us so heavily...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan deflated instantly, her face dropped, and she said, \"I thought you had made something of yourself and could suck up to big shots. I didn't expect it was just because of their good service attitude...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan, on the other hand, was a bit puzzled. The other party sent such valuable gifts; could it really be just because of their service attitude and to compensate Ye Chen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, having received a pile of gifts, Ma Lan's mood improved quite a bit. She finally stopped targeting Ye Chen, thinking happily about selling the cigarettes and liquor as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Ye Chen was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen when he suddenly received a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person calling was Qin Gang, whom he had met twice and had helped before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That jade bracelet was a gift from Qin Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the phone, Qin Gang said respectfully, \"Master Ye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said indifferently, \"Something up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gang hurriedly said, \"Thanks to Mr. Ye's guidance last time, the Qin family has been much smoother these past few days. I have to thank Mr. Ye for pointing out the way, otherwise, our Qin family would have been in big trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said indifferently, \"I see, I'm afraid it's not that smooth, right? If it were really that smooth, would you be calling me at this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gang choked and laughed awkwardly. \"Mr. Ye is indeed as wise as a god; nothing can escape your discerning eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled faintly and didn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Qin Gang said with a trembling voice, \"Mr. Ye, please save my Qin family again. The Qin family will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was pale, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he were in great fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned and asked indifferently, \"Did the jade crack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye is indeed a master; you guessed it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gang's voice was extremely pious, and he sighed, \"Originally, I followed your instructions to enshrine that jade plug and ordered everyone in the family to eat vegetarian food for seven days and not to see any blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would have thought that my useless and stupid nephew, Qin Aodong, secretly ate some stewed pigeon soup and accidentally got pigeon blood on the jade plug? The jade plug immediately shattered into pieces. I beat him up and locked him at home, but strange things keep happening!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned and asked, \"What strange things happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gang said hurriedly, \"Last night, there was a violent storm, and a bolt of heavenly lightning struck the Qin family courtyard, scorching a hundred-year-old osmanthus tree black.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only that, the ancestral tablets of the Qin family enshrined in the ancestral hall actually fell to the ground for no reason and broke into two halves. This is a sign of great misfortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned deeply. From the perspective of Feng Shui, planting an osmanthus tree in the courtyard is a symbol of wealth and auspiciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the osmanthus tree being struck down by heavenly lightning indicates that the Qin family will be ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestral tablets breaking is a sign that the Qin family will perish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't expect that the evil energy of this jade plug would be so heavy, so serious that it exceeded his estimation, actually causing such a sky-high evil energy just by borrowing pigeon blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing no reply from Ye Chen, Qin Gang's heart was pounding, and he pleaded, \"Although my Qin family is in business, we have always been kind to others and have never done anything harmful. I beg Master Ye to have mercy and save my Qin family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, \"Qin Gang, it's not that I won't save you, but the evil energy of the jade plug is too heavy. It has been carried by Qin Aodong for many years, and the evil energy has long shrouded the Qin family courtyard. Ordinary talismans simply cannot deal with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, then what should I do? It's a misfortune for the family that such a disaster came out of the Qin family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gang sighed and lamented, his voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen pondered, \"Evil energy becomes fiercer when it sees blood, and it's hot pigeon blood at that. Now, to suppress such heavy evil energy, I'm afraid only the power of heaven and earth's supreme treasures can be used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, whatever Master Ye needs, even if I go bankrupt, I will definitely get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said indifferently, \"How about this, I happen to be attending the Treasure Pavilion auction tomorrow. I will go to the auction to see if there are any treasures of heaven and earth. As for whether I can bid for them, it depends on your luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then I'll trouble Master Ye.\" Qin Gang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and thanked Ye Chen repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he hurriedly said, \"Mr. Ye, I will send you a black card tomorrow. If you need to spend any money, just swipe the card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen gave a hum. After all, he was helping the Qin family; he couldn't let himself spend his own money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Ye Chen said, \"You'd better be mentally prepared. Treasures of heaven and earth are not so easy to obtain; they are hard to come by. As for whether there are any at the auction, it depends on your Qin family's luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Gang kept expressing his stance, \"Yes, yes, I will also inquire more privately, but I still have to trouble Master Ye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident, he had also looked for many well-known Feng Shui masters, but those people just took one look at the Qin family's door and immediately waved their hands and declined, not even daring to enter the door, fleeing as if they were escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Qin Gang's only hope for survival lay with Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt quite emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the deduction of fate, Qin Gang should not have done anything harmful in his life and should have lived in peace until old age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that heaven would play tricks on people, and such a jinx as Qin Aodong would appear in the family, making the house restless. If he didn't save him, within a year, his Qin family would surely be ruined and destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him and that Qin Aodong, but also his beautiful little pepper beauty, Qin Aoxue, would likely meet an untimely death! \u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-17T16:51:23.531Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","37d784208ca71283317aa05838bcab9f0a071abeb3d478404325b510ac422c4a","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-83","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-81",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
