I’ve heard that some of their potent poisons can kill an Upper Three Grades Martial Artist within a few breaths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, their hidden weapons are extremely special, comparable to the hidden weapons of the previous dynasty’s Tang Sect. Combined with their potent poisons, they pose a significant threat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison Skill, poison, and hidden weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi silently committed this to memory, his mind racing as he considered various countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Skill wasn’t a major concern. He had his Martial Arts and his Great Success Medical Dao, so even if he were poisoned, he could find a way to deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poisons were even easier to handle; he himself had researched some poison formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the last item, the hidden weapons...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi looked at the night outside the window, muttering that he should get a sturdy, iron-ribbed Oil Paper Umbrella for Xiao Wan’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang, unaware of his thoughts, finished his long-winded explanation. Seeing that Chen Yi hadn’t spoken, he couldn’t help but ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, do you have a plan for the Five Poison Sect as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi gave a noncommittal reply, \"Tomorrow, find someone to deliver a message to Granny Shan. Just say that the Five Poison Sect has reemerged in the Jianghu, has come to Shu State, and is plotting a great revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Boss, I appreciate your high regard for me, but I have no standing to speak with Granny Shan, nor can I find anyone to deliver a message to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang was a Desert North Swordman who had only just arrived in Shu State a few days ago. How could he possibly have contact with a figure like Granny Shan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi considered this. ’He has a point,’ he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he would have to find a way to reach Granny Shan through Pei Guanli. In any case, he had to make sure the Mountain Race knew about the Five Poison Sect’s presence in Shu State first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, the carriage stopped in an alley outside the East Market, near Jishi Medicine Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky had completely darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the medicine halls, taverns, and inns had closed their doors for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few people passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the alley all the more secluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They waited for about an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Hour of Xu drew to a close, and with no one in sight, Liu Lang couldn’t help but say, \"Boss, I’m afraid he isn’t coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi said nothing more, replying with a single word: \"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly two more hours of waiting, as midnight approached, the faint sound of footsteps finally emerged from the silent shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang’s ears twitched, and he glanced over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi had noticed as well, but he did not leave the carriage, simply calling out coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your caution is admirable, Lord Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shadows, the figure paused, revealing the faint outline of a set of simple Night Clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from his features, it was easy to see that he was from the Xiao Family’s second branch: Xiao Dongchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the distant carriage and asked in a hoarse voice, \"You aren’t Liu Wen? Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi replied coolly, \"I am merely a pawn for my young master, a nobody.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have come only to ask a single question of Lord Xiao on my young master’s behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Lord Xiao wish to be a pawn for the Xiao Family, or does he wish to become the Patriarch of the Xiao Family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Dongchen’s eyes flickered. \"What of being a pawn? And what of being the Patriarch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the former, I will leave at once. Lord Xiao can simply act as though I was never here today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the latter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi paused, a hint of a smile in his voice. \"Then I shall, of course, present Lord Xiao with a generous gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Dongchen frowned slightly, his mind reeling with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Xiao Dongchen asked, \"Is your young master not afraid that I will report this to the Old Marquis?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi chuckled. \"My young master would not have sought you out if he weren’t confident. Wouldn’t you agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Tell me about this generous gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three hundred thousand taels of silver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this number, it wasn’t just Xiao Dongchen whose breath caught in his throat; even Liu Lang, sitting at the front of the carriage, was stunned by Chen Yi’s sheer audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s why the boss scammed three hundred thousand taels of silver from Liu Wen! It was all to lay a trap for Xiao Dongchen?’\u003C\u002Fp>",853,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.490Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","5c2a4a6fd7b916dbc13d0a46f42215dafa9a24caab1d52b5ea0919c7a4664462","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-224","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-222",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
