Such lovely handwriting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furious, Lou Yuxue gritted her teeth and wiped the water from the table. Suppressing her rage, she asked, \"Lovely handwriting? Are you referring to your young master’s, Brother Liu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she wrote another line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If you don’t talk, we die together!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi read the words, then nodded with a smile. \"My young master was afraid I’d forget, so he wrote me a note before I came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he, too, wrote two words on the table:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[West Market.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yuxue’s expression flickered. While continuing to make small talk with Chen Yi, they began to communicate by writing on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Who are you?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Guess?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There’s no way you’re from the Liu Family!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And why not?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What’s your purpose here?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To burn the summer grain of the Three Towns, of course.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went back and forth like this for ages, but Lou Yuxue couldn’t get a single straight answer out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing grew ragged with anger, her chest heaving dramatically with each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suspected Chen Yi was from the Xiao Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all signs indicated that the Xiao Family was still unaware of the Bright Moon Building’s plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old patriarch even had the leisure to concern himself with matters between the Hundred Herbs Hall and the Xiao Family Medicine Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same story over at the Mutual Market; Xiao Jinghong had been there the whole time and hadn’t made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But if Liu Wu isn’t from the Xiao Family, then which faction sent him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Liu Family?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Liu Family was a definite possibility.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But how did he appear in the West Market, and why was he following me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, what Lou Yuxue wanted to confirm most was whether her identity as a Hidden Guard had been exposed. But the man before her was completely unyielding, making her seethe with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, left with no other option, she wrote: [What will it take to make you tell the truth?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly and wrote a few words: [Now that’s more like it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But I have a very big appetite. I wonder if Miss Yuxue can satisfy it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yuxue gritted her teeth and wrote four words: [Let me hear it!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I want half of the silver from this deal.

If you were really from the Liu Family, why would you be after the silver?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Guess?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lou Yuxue’s eyes turning red with fury, Chen Yi, though secretly amused, knew that pushing her further would only make things worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Chen Yi wrote:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Right now, who I am isn’t the most important thing. What’s important is ensuring this deal goes smoothly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If Miss Yuxue is truly that curious, then do as I say: bring me one hundred fifty thousand silver.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yuxue stared straight at him, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Right now, I’m not sure of his identity, and I’m not sure if he knows I’m a Hidden Guard, but I can be sure of one thing—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’—the Xiao Family is in the dark, and this man isn’t one of theirs.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This judgment put Lou Yuxue somewhat at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At least the mission to burn the summer grain of the Three Towns can still proceed. Otherwise, I would never let Hawk take such a risk.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even my own grand scheme, for which I’m hiding in the Bright Moon Building, would be affected.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If I find out you’re secretly sabotaging this, you will pay the price!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi watched her nervously wipe the words away as soon as she’d written them, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Yuxue, for an establishment as grand as the Bright Moon Building, surely you wouldn’t be too stingy to refill a cup of tea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lou Yuxue saw his smile, she had the sudden urge to scratch it right off his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given the circumstances, she could only force a smile and say in a syrupy-sweet tone, \"My apologies, Brother Liu. Allow me to pour you some right away~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she held the teapot, she gave her wrist a flick, aiming the spout right at Chen Yi as she poured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Yi reacted quickly, some of the tea still splashed onto his clothes and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Lou Yuxue, who was smugly pleased with her little trick, and said with a sigh that was half-amusement, half-exasperation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Yuxue, you’re so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even call her \"petty,\" Lou Yuxue had already set down the teapot and moved closer. She began patting at his clothes, her voice full of apology:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please forgive me, Brother Liu. I didn’t do it on purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the force she used was clearly more than a mere \"pat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Yi let out a soft snort, releasing and then retracting his Fist Intent in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lou Yuxue was momentarily stunned by the mountain-like pressure of the Fist Intent, Chen Yi used one hand to twist her arm behind her back and pin her against the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pardon my rudeness, Miss Yuxue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinned by him, especially in such an undignified position, a flush of shame and anger crept onto Lou Yuxue’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her tone was still as charming as ever as she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Liu, what are you doing~? Aren’t you going to let me go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Chen Yi could finish, a section of the wall slid open. Liu Lang appeared in the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he got a clear look at the scene inside, a flicker of astonishment crossed Liu Lang’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you two...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Chen Yi, then at Lou Yuxue pinned beneath him, and let out a sly chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.490Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e6c9e590fd7c6b2653a13ece96ade5ab514d03e2b1d788d208c53d1233e3ec9","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-215","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-213",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
