Before anyone arrived, I heard the voice first, and it turned out that the person coming was Qin Wanru, the mistress of the Chu family. She glared at Zu An angrily as soon as she entered the door.
The anger value from Qin Wanru is +478!
Zu An was startled, thinking how could she know about me skipping class so quickly? Suddenly she noticed Cheng Shou Ping dodging behind her, and her lungs almost exploded with anger.
This bitch is really good at informing.
"I don't want to go to school." Facing Qin Wan's murderous gaze, Zu An said bravely. He still had to fight for his own power. Of course, it doesn't matter whether he fights for it or not.
"It's not up to you!" Qin Wanru said with a cold face, "You have to go to me tomorrow. I will send someone to follow you every step of the way. If you do something wrong again, don't blame me for being rude!"
She snorted coldly, turned around and walked a few steps, but suddenly felt unwilling to do so, and turned around again: "Today's matter can't just be let go like this. Go to the solitary room and have the family law copied 100 times, no less!"
"Family law?" Zu An was confused. He didn't expect that the plot he had seen in the TV series before would actually happen to him.
Cheng Shouping hid and hid his mouth and snickered, obviously gloating about his misfortune, but when Qin Wanru saw it, he snorted coldly:
"You have neglected your duty to skip school today. Since you are smiling so happily, you should accompany him to copy."
Cheng Shouping: "???"
He suddenly felt as if he was eating melon and watching the crowd put out the fire, only to find out that his own home was burned.
Chu stuck out his tongue and hurriedly ran over to hold his mother's arm: "Mom, maybe my brother-in-law is just not used to going to school for a while. Maybe he will be fine after a few days. Don't be angry."
"What did you call him?" Qin Wanru frowned for a moment.
"Sister...brother-in-law." Chu Huanzhao's face turned red. After all, losing the bet was extremely disgraceful.
"How can this guy who can't hold up the wall be your brother-in-law? You are not allowed to call him that in the future, do you understand?" Qin Wanru glared at her daughter. She was already upset enough, but her daughter's elbows turned outwards.
"Oh~" Chu Huanzhao secretly made a face to Zu An, indicating that this was not because she refused to admit that she had lost the bet, but because of her mother's eloquent words.
Qin Wanru grabbed her daughter's hand and walked out: "Go back with me and avoid contact with such people in the future, so as not to be led astray."
Watching Mrs. Chu leave in a hurry, Zu An was also puzzled. If she disliked him so much, why would she recruit him as her son-in-law? This Mrs. Chu is good-looking, but she is a bit too fierce. No wonder Chu Zhongtian has been there all these years.
They didn't even take a concubine, and I deeply sympathized with this cheap father-in-law.
At the same time, there are some doubts about whether Ji Dentu has a masochistic tendency and has unreasonable thoughts about such a woman?
At this moment, Old Man Mi's voice rang out: "If you skip school again tomorrow, I will break your legs." After saying that, he hunched over and left.
Zu An was startled. The guy's tone just now didn't sound like he was telling lies.
After the others left, Cheng Shouping immediately shouted: "He is so rebellious. A flower farmer dares to yell at you like this. Don't worry, I will report it to my wife right now and let her take care of herself."
Teach this old man a lesson."
After saying that, he was about to run out, but Zu An grabbed his collar and pulled him back: "It seems that you are familiar with informing Madam."
Cheng Shouping knelt down with a plop and hugged his thigh tightly: "My uncle is wronged because I didn't see him at the school gate when school was over. I was worried that you would be in danger, so I immediately informed my wife.
Please help me, my admiration for you is like the endless stream of a surging river, and my loyalty to you can be reflected by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth can learn from it."
Zu An was immediately amused: "So I should thank you?"
Cheng Shouping immediately said with saliva on his face: "How can I afford this? As long as my uncle doesn't get angry, I'll be satisfied."
"It stands to reason that with your flattery skills, you shouldn't be doing so badly. Did you offend Madam in some way?" Zu An thought about how Madam Chu had punished him by confiscating his house just before she left.
Something is wrong.
"No, how dare you offend the madam?" Cheng Shou shook his head like a rattle, "In the past, when the madam and the master said that they wanted to take a concubine for him, I went to inquire around and found some suitable ones.
The girl is here for Madam to take a look at."
Zu An suddenly realized that Mrs. Chu was just talking casually, but in the end you actually found a bunch of concubine candidates. It was a mercy that you didn't beat this guy to death with a stick.
"Uncle, let's go to the quiet room to copy the family law quickly, otherwise we will be punished by the madam if we don't finish it." Cheng Shouping said with a bitter face.
"Why are you so anxious? It's just a family rule. How much time will it take?" Zu An thought about how he often copied the class rules when he was in elementary school. There were only about a dozen of them anyway. With his hand speed, it was a small case.
If you have a computer to type, let alone a hundred times, even a thousand times won't take much time... Wait, there seems to be no difference between one time and a thousand times. I almost forgot that computers can also copy and paste.
I don’t know if my keyboard will have functions like ctrl+c and ctrl+v in the future.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the law of confiscation of houses, he couldn't stand Cheng Shouping's constant begging, so he reluctantly followed him. Mrs. Chu punished him, so he still had to do his best to show off.
Following Cheng Shouping, we came to the quiet room. The quiet room was used by the Chu family to punish the children of the clan. It was similar to the small dark room in the prison in the previous life. Of course, the environment here was much better.
"The name doesn't sound good, it feels like a cleansing room." Zu An complained maliciously.
"Uncle, stop talking about other things and start copying quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep today." Cheng Shouping cried sadly.
"Isn't it just 100 repetitions of the family method? What's so great about it?" Zu An rolled his eyes. This guy really has never seen anything in writing. Among those who wrote novels in his previous life, which input method didn't accumulate tens of millions of words?
"Where is the family law?" Zu An looked around and on the bookshelf.
"Over there." Cheng Shouping pointed at the wall, thinking that looking at his uncle's stupid look, he probably didn't know how serious the problem was.
Zu An looked back and said, "I'll strangle you!"
I saw a large stone tablet hanging on the opposite wall, extending to the roof and down to the ground. The entire stone tablet was engraved with many densely packed small characters. It was roughly estimated that there were at least several thousand words.
Let me go, what is the Chu family doing? Do the family rules need to have so many words? This is deliberately used to deceive future generations.
Cheng Shouping looked like he was about to cry, and handed over the paper and pen: "Uncle, start copying."
Zu An rolled his eyes: "Xiao Ping Ping, did you just claim to be loyal to me?"
Cheng Shouping immediately puffed up his chest: "Of course, I am extremely loyal to my uncle..."
Zu An interrupted him directly: "Don't talk about heaven and earth, now is an opportunity for you to show your loyalty."
As he spoke, he put the pen and paper back into his arms, and patted his shoulder at the same time: "Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Shouping: "???"
Looking at the densely packed family rules on the wall, Cheng Shouping was on the verge of tears: "Uncle, I really can't do it. I really can't copy all of them by myself."
"Men can't say no," Zu An encouraged, "Believe me, you can definitely do it."
Seeing his disbelief, Zu An also knew that such encouragement was too vain, so he thought for a while and added: "You copied it for me this time, and I will help you create opportunities to be alone with Xue'er in the future."
"Really?" Cheng Shouping's eyes lit up.
Zu An nodded: "Of course it is true. You think I am the husband of the eldest lady of the Chu family. I always have some private conversations when we are together. That way I can let you and Xueer get along alone."
Cheng Shouping immediately held his hand with tears of gratitude: "Uncle, you are so kind to me~"
Zu An felt a chill and pulled his hand out: "Don't act like a bitch, come on, I'll go out for a walk."
When he mentioned Xue'er just now, he suddenly thought that Chu Chuyan had something to go out for the past two days, and Xue'er, as a personal maid, must also go, so he could just go to their room to look for any clues as to who they were.
Want to kill me.
As the uncle of the Chu family, although many people in the house secretly despised him, no one in the house would stop the questioning.
Along the way, we came to the small courtyard where Chu Chuyan's boudoir was located. Fortunately, she always liked to be quiet, and Xueer was the only one who served her on weekdays. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to hide it from the other maids in the courtyard when he came now.
I pushed on the door. Well, it didn't move at all. It was indeed locked.
"Who are you guarding against?" Zu An complained, but it didn't bother him. He was well prepared when he came here.
After looking around and seeing no one around, he took out a black scarf and covered his face. Otherwise, if someone discovered that he had entered his wife's room and continued to sneak around like this, he really couldn't afford to embarrass that person.
Then he went around in a circle and came to a remote window. He took out the dagger in his arms and inserted it into the gap between the windows to open the door bolt inside.
"I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run away before." Zu An recalled the scenes in the costume dramas he had watched on TV before, with a proud look on his face.
Pushing open the window and jumping in, Zu An smelled a fragrance that resembled orchids but not musk deer. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that his cheap wife smelled really good. The only pity was that she could only look at her but not touch her.
I had been here once before, and now I was pretty familiar with it. I walked around the study and didn't find anything valuable, and then I went all the way to her bedroom.
The first time I rummaged around on the bed, it was like that in TV dramas, and there were often hidden compartments on the bed.
However, I didn't find the hidden compartment in the end. Instead, I found a book under the pillow, the title of which read "Sweet Little Beloved Wife: The Ninety-Nine Days of the Domineering Sword Fairy's Love".
Zu An: "..."
He remembered that this book was the one that Chu Chuyan secretly read in the carriage before. He couldn't help but pick it up and flip through it with some curiosity. The content in it was not much different from the romantic and sweet articles on female videos in his previous life.
He suddenly noticed an annotation written in Juan Xiu's handwriting next to a certain page of content: Love doesn't know where it starts, but it goes deeper...
Zu An's jaw almost dropped. He really didn't expect that his cold-looking wife would have such... such a sultry side.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~" Zu An hurriedly put the book back, making sure it was exactly the same as before, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. If that woman knew that she had read this, she would probably kill me and silence me.
This chapter has been completed!
