She hesitated for a moment before entering the room and gently shaking the soundly sleeping Chen Yunfan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, Young Master, wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan groggily opened his eyes. When he saw it was Chun Ying, he rolled over to go back to sleep and muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ran all over the place collecting the summer harvest tax yesterday. My legs are about to break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be a dear and let me get some proper sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, something’s happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chun Ying’s serious tone, Chen Yunfan reluctantly sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his messy hair, yawned, and asked, \"Alright, spit it out. What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Yu just reported that last night, he saw Miss Cui being carried back by her maid. It looked like she was injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan stopped mid-yawn and stared at her blankly. \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chun Ying nodded. \"It’s absolutely true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, Chen Yunfan burst out laughing. \"That’s great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She laughed at my expense just the day before yesterday, and I was still fuming about it. This is the perfect chance for me to return the favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chun Ying: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she’d been with Chen Yunfan for years, she still couldn’t quite grasp his temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true for how he treated Young Master Yi, and it was true for how he treated Miss Cui, the woman he was engaged to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was lost in thought, Chen Yunfan had already thrown on a long robe. He didn’t even bother to put his shoes on properly, instead just stepping into them like slippers as he walked out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t just stand there gawking. Hurry up and come with me to have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you make me late for the show, watch out. I’ll have you punished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, right away...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan excitedly led Chun Ying straight to the rear courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, he rubbed the corners of his eyes, muttering about how sleepy he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chun Ying sighed and said in a low voice, \"Young Master, your Martial Arts...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan stopped in his tracks and huffed. \"I’ve been faking it for so long, I almost forgot I even have a cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he circulated his True Essence once through his body and was instantly refreshed and invigorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirits soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he quickened his pace, heading straight for the rear courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as they reached the veranda, before they could even go in, they were stopped by the maids guarding the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Yunfan, our Miss has not yet finished her morning preparations. It is inconvenient for you to enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan looked left and right and couldn’t help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the ground beneath his feet. \"Look closely. This is Tingyu Pavilion. This is *my* house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two maids glanced at each other, then sidestepped again to block his path, bowing as they spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our apologies, Young Master. Our Miss is not available to receive guests at the moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Chen Yunfan’s mouth twitched. He cut to the chase. \"I heard your miss was injured. I came to have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Yunfan, who did you hear that from? My miss just woke up. She isn’t injured at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan looked suspiciously at Chun Ying. When he saw her shake her head slightly, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So Cui Qingwu is worried I’ll laugh at her and has decided to pretend she’s fine, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, go and announce me. Just say that I... hmm... am inviting her to have breakfast with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the two maids hesitated for a moment before one of them agreed and trotted off toward the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, she returned, bowed, and said, \"Young Master Yunfan, our Miss invites you in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan raised an eyebrow. ’So Cui Qingwu isn’t injured?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, Chun Ying had been with him for years and had never lied to him. She wouldn’t start now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Chen Yunfan clasped his hands behind his back. \"Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chun Ying, however, did not follow them in. Watching the group walk away, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, she summoned Ning Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last night, was Miss Cui really carried back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yu paused, then added, \"I also saw bloodstains on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chun Ying didn’t doubt him and muttered, \"Then why would she let the Young Master in now? Isn’t she afraid of being exposed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two of them were puzzled, Chen Yunfan had already entered the room—which was originally his—and immediately spotted Cui Qingwu sitting at her dressing table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan paused, looking her up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Cui Qingwu’s long, glossy black hair was slightly disheveled, and her face looked a bit wan and pale, as if from a poor night’s sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she certainly didn’t look injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing around, Chen Yunfan noticed an empty bowl on the table. His nose twitched slightly, and a smile crept onto his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Huan’er finished combing Cui Qingwu’s long hair and securing it with a phoenix hairpin. Cui Qingwu stood up, looked at him, and asked with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yunfan, you’re up so early today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan smiled and nodded. \"I heard you were injured, so I came to see for myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feeling better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Qingwu’s smile froze. Her eyes flickered to the empty bowl on the table, and she understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak, Huan’er, who was beside her, quickly went over to clear the bowl away and hurried out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan watched her go, then casually sat down at the table. \"So, tell me, who injured you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she hadn’t managed to fool him, Cui Qingwu couldn’t help but feel a flicker of annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was directed at the person who had injured her last night, but also at Huan’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Qingwu let out a breath and met his mocking gaze. \"It was probably the same person who knocked you unconscious before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1167,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","f963bbcfb54d5f3cf0cd80dc0b1919ae022889b8e7219dfb42921ad3a75960c9","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-146","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-144",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
