He confirmed my condition was the same as yours from the day before yesterday and brewed a medicinal soup using that same prescription.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan turned away, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any inclination he had to tease her evaporated at the thought of that bastard from the other night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, do you know who he is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Qingwu paused, then continued, \"But he should have some connection to the Xiao Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan looked at her again. \"The Xiao Family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Qingwu adjusted her sleeve to cover her injured arm as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then gave him a carefully selected account of what had happened the previous night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, she omitted her and Huan’er’s true identities and purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Chen Yunfan stroked his chin thoughtfully. \"Someone wanted to frame the Xiao Family for Liu Jing’s death, and he killed them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, he clapped his hands together. \"That’s it. He’s definitely connected to the Xiao Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, very good. That bastard drugged me, then he drugged you. He clearly doesn’t take us seriously at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a strange light flickered in Cui Qingwu’s eyes. She asked, \"Where exactly were you drugged by him, Yunfan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The West Market... hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met. \"We have to find him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d like to see what kind of nerve he has to offend both the Chen and Cui Families!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chen Yunfan and Cui Qingwu shared a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been so many years, Qingwu. You seem to have changed a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In what way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t quite put my finger on it. But you’re not as stiff and old-fashioned as when we were kids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stiff and old-fashioned...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Cui Qingwu’s face vanished. A little vexed, she turned away from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, Yunfan, why don’t you go find a girl who isn’t ’stiff and old-fashioned’ to have breakfast with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Er...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yunfan stared at her, dumbfounded. ’There shouldn’t have been anything wrong with what I just said,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That was a compliment, wasn’t it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi was also up bright and early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A night spent in Cultivation of the Four Symbols Skill left him feeling invigorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the wounds on his arm and waist hadn’t fully healed, it didn’t hinder the progress of his Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Five days to advance from the Lower Stage of the Seventh Grade to the Middle Stage... the progress isn’t slow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was only comparing himself to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an outsider found out someone had broken through a minor Realm within the Seventh Grade in just five days, they would probably try to hack him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll aim to break through to the Middle Three Grades by the end of the month.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Chen Yi washed up and got dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then quietly buried the torn, bloodstained black clothes in the Purple Bamboo Forest before casually strolling back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiaodie helped Xiao Wuge and Pei Guanli get ready, the group ate breakfast together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had sustained some injuries last night, it didn’t affect Chen Yi’s appetite in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he had four large steamed buns, two bowls of hot congee, and two portions of glutinous rice cakes, which left him about fifty percent full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge’s appetite was also quite good, but he seemed to have developed some sort of trauma, refusing to even glance in Pei Guanli’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, the Tiger Girl had already covered her congee with a thick layer of chili peppers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast to them, Xiaodie, who was usually a foodie, kept her head down the entire time, stirring her bowl of congee into a mush with her chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi saw this and chuckled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The little maid is still agonizing over what happened last night.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he looked out the window and said, \"Xiaodie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie jumped. \"Here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi said leisurely, \"I was just thinking about what we should have for lunch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about hot pot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie immediately looked up at him, her eyes already picturing a divided pot of spicy and numbing broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could speak, Chen Yi shook his head. \"No, no. It’s too hot today. It’s not a good day for something so spicy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Braised fish head? No, that doesn’t seem right either. A bit too bland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or maybe beef and potato stew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard yesterday that a tenant farmer on the fief accidentally worked an ox to death. How about we eat that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing him list the dishes, Xiaodie’s attention was completely captured. She forgot all about last night’s embarrassing incident and nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, that sounds great! Beef! We don’t get to eat beef very often.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she met Chen Yi’s smiling gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she immediately lowered her head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Young Master, are you making fun of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I make fun of you? It’s settled. Go tell the kitchen staff later that we’ll be having beef for lunch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Pei Guanli was about to raise her hand in agreement when she suddenly remembered she had to go out today, and her head drooped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law, I don’t want to go out anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi shook his head very seriously. \"No, you do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Pei Guanli could only muster a tragic expression and nod firmly. \"I already promised Sister Tingyun and the others that we’d go to North City today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a little over half a month. We’re going to buy some things for the holiday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Huatang and the others need to send things back to the Celestial Sect, and I need to send some things home too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. \"You’re not going back to the Mountain Race for the Mid-Autumn Festival?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Guanli said nonchalantly, \"It’s just Ah Ma at home. My brother went into the mountains to pay respects to Granny Shan. It would be lonely and boring if I went back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she put it that way, Chen Yi didn’t try to persuade her further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s still some time. If you change your mind, you can still make it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, Brother-in-law. Sometimes I feel like you’re just like my older brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Yi’s stern face, Pei Guanli stuck out her tongue and quickly scurried out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until she was near Jiaxing Garden did she shout from a distance, \"Just like a little old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shouting, before Chen Yi could say anything, Pei Guanli was already laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She skipped and hopped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the fading sound of her bell, Chen Yi couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Having this Tiger Girl around Spring Lotus Garden is quite lively.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi couldn’t think of anything else to do for the moment, so he took Xiao Wuge to go fishing in the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t fished in a while and his hands were itching to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing he would likely catch nothing, he eagerly baited his hook and cast his line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge sat next to him on the pavilion railing and copied him, casting out his own line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-calm pond instantly became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it was still quiet on Chen Yi’s side; the liveliness was all on Xiao Wuge’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have bait on his hook, yet the Golden Carp swarmed around it as if they were mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This delighted Xiao Wuge, who couldn’t stop grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi was used to this. He silently turned halfway, not even giving Xiao Wuge a sideways glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s joys and sorrows are not interconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like this moment: one person gets skunked, while another has a bountiful harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie brewed tea nearby as usual, watching the backs of the man and the boy while looking forward to the beef and potato stew for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she thought about it, her mind drifted back to last night’s events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her little face immediately felt like it was on fire, and her heart began to pound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was, for the most part, the shyness of a traditional and conservative girl in the presence of an outstanding man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, she finally calmed down and handed the teacups to Chen Yi and Xiao Wuge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have some tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi took a slurp, his eyes still fixed on the ripple-less surface of the pond, and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, these fish... erm... this tea, is utterly tasteless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the three of them were comfortably enjoying the summer sun, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded from behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie turned around and exclaimed, \"Sister Cui’er, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui’er arrived outside the pavilion. Looking at Chen Yi and Xiao Wuge, who had turned at the sound, she said breathlessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Young Master, it’s terrible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Young Mistress, she... she’s sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi frowned slightly, put down his fishing rod, picked up a nearby towel to wipe his hands clean, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did she catch a cold? Does she have a fever?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think... I think so. Her forehead is very hot, and she’s coughing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll go have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge and Xiaodie wanted to go too, but Chen Yi stopped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful not to catch it. You two stay here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chen Yi followed Cui’er to Jiaxing Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just reminded Xiao Wan’er yesterday to stay warm, and today she had a cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s always the bad predictions that come true...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1612,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","a80c0f311cf219297a74315547cabdfa6472dbebf786659410df267da74e0252","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-147","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-145",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
