Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 173

[Chapter 173 The Xue Family Visitors]

“Uh… no.”

Lin Xiu shook her head, and in her mother’s disappointed eyes, she asked tentatively: “If I say that I want to take a concubine, will you agree?” “Huh

?”

Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows, and then said sternly: “What did you say? You want to take a concubine just a few months after your wedding. How will others look at Lingjun? You have such a good wife, but you don’t know how to cherish her. Are you going to rebel against the heaven?”

“…”

When Lin Xiu was silent, Zhou Yun glared at him and asked, “Tell me, do you have a woman outside? Does Lingjun know?”

Lin Xiu said, “She knows and she agrees.”

Zhou Yun became even angrier and said, “You’ve already spoken. How could Lingjun, such a sensible girl, disagree? If she disagrees, won’t she be called a jealous woman?”

She seemed to really like this daughter-in-law. Lin Xiu thought of a reason and said, “Lingjun means that she often has to go out to practice, and is often away from me for a year and a half or even longer. At this time, I can have another person to take care of me… This is also reasonable, don’t you think, Dad?”

Lin Ting nodded and said, “It makes sense…”

Seeing the look in his wife’s eyes, his face changed, and he immediately said, “What a reasonable ass, I have been with your mother all my life, how could I give birth to a son like you who is not loyal…”

Lin Xiu admitted that he was not loyal, but the facts were not as they imagined.

Zhao Lingjun is a fairy in the sky, who is devoted to practice and has few desires.

She is amazing, she is noble.

But Lin Xiu is a normal person, a normal man.

Normal men have needs. He

often flirts with Caiyi, and is tempted by Qin Wan’s tricks when he returns home. It is not easy for him to keep the precious first time in his life.

When he goes to bed at night, it would be such a wonderful thing if he could have a sweet and soft body to hug. Lin Xiu is almost forgetting what this feels like. He

passed the test of Zhao Lingjun very easily, but he still needs to work harder on the test of his parents.

But what they said is not without reason.

It has only been a few months since their marriage, and they want to take a concubine. Normal people will think that their husband and wife are not harmonious, and even suspect that their husband and wife life is not harmonious.

But Lin Xiu doesn’t want to wait any longer.

Isn’t it just a ceremony? He and Caiyi can also worship each other and drink the wedding wine, and at most he can hold another one for her later.

Zhou Yun twisted Lin Xiu’s ear and said sternly: “I tell you, you have to treat Lingjun well, otherwise your father and I will not forgive you…”

Lin Xiu could only say: “Okay, okay, I know…”

…

When returning to the new house from the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu was in great glory.

Passers-by all saluted him. Some

people would take the initiative to clasp their fists to him, with a look of respect on their faces, and they were just short of calling him a hero or a warrior.

There were even young men who walked on the street with extraordinary temperament. When they saw Lin Xiu from a distance, they turned around and walked away like a mouse seeing a cat, without looking back… Lin

Xiu didn’t dare to say that in the whole royal capital, at least on this street, he seemed to be famous.

He just walked on this street with Zhang San.

Lin Xiu admitted that he had a little sense of justice, but he was not so brave.

If the pretty widow was not the lover of the dog emperor, he would take a gentle or roundabout way instead of tearing his face with Zhang San.

It’s a pity that many things are known to be impossible, but they have to be done.

After it was put on, the effect was also very obvious.

With the status and power of the Zhang family, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang San is the number one playboy in the capital. He dared to offend Zhang San, let alone other sons of dukes and marquises. After today, no matter if he is the son of an uncle or the grandson of a duke, he should not speak loudly in front of him.

At this time, in an extremely luxurious mansion in East City.

In a courtyard somewhere, Zhang Jing stood in the hall and said, “When Lin Xiu appeared, I guessed that Zhang Huai wanted to use me to deal with him, but I didn’t know his identity at that time, and I didn’t think he was Zhao Lingjun’s husband.”

The middle-aged man sitting on the chair didn’t mention his conflict with Lin Xiu at all, and asked, “Zhao Lingjun has reached the upper realm of the earth level?”

Zhang Jing nodded and said, “I asked them both. In front of her, they had no power to resist. She must have awakened for the sixth time. The last time she awakened was only five years ago. How could this woman’s cultivation speed be so fast?”

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said, “It’s worthy of being the first on the Tianjiao list. In the past few years, she has left your eldest brother, the second brother, and the one from the Song family far behind. So, she can be promoted to the heaven level at the age of 30. The heaven level at the age of 30, hehe…”

Although the middle-aged man was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, but there was a deep hidden fear.

As the current head of the Zhang family, he was not afraid of the royal family, but he had to be afraid of this woman.

At her growth rate, if everything goes well, in thirty years, she will become the strongest person in Daxia and replace the Zhang family. In fifty years, she will be able to overthrow the imperial power, of course, including all the powerful families.

Even the Zhang family is unwilling to be her enemy.

He looked at Zhang Jing and said, “Let’s stop here. Don’t bother Lin Xiu anymore. I will have someone prepare a gift and send it to their house as an apology to Zhao Lingjun.”

After that, he said, “There are two others. His Majesty made an exception and conferred them titles. Obviously, there is a purpose. This face cannot be sold out. You should not go looking for trouble with them…”

Zhang Jing actually didn’t care about the two little people at all, but that Lin Xiu…

Zhang Jing had to admit that today, Lin Xiu made him lose face, a lot of face.

If it were someone else, even if the other party was a child of a certain Duke’s mansion, Zhang Jing would give him an indelible memory.

But he is Zhao Lingjun’s husband.

He really can’t pretend that woman doesn’t exist.

After a long time, Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I know, I won’t take the initiative to cause trouble for Lin Xiu, but if he causes trouble for me, I can’t swallow my anger. Even if she is Zhao Lingjun, she has to be reasonable…”

…

Lin Xiu returned home from the back door. His face was too ostentatious now. Walking on the street in front of the door, the rate of turning heads was higher than walking hand in hand with Zhao Lingjun.

Qin Wan was hanging clothes in the yard. When she came back and saw Lin Xiu, she asked, “Are you okay?”

Lin Xiu asked, “You know about it too?”

Qin Wan said, “It’s said on the street that you arrested the third son of the Zhang family. After tomorrow, I’m afraid the whole capital will know about it. Anyway, you are the only one I have seen in all these years who dares to do that to Zhang Jing.”

Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about that Zhang San. What did you cook in the afternoon? I’m hungry.”

Qin Wan said, “I’m still cooking. If you’re hungry, I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles first.”

She turned and went to the kitchen. Lin Xiu sat in the yard waiting. It was good to have Qin Wan at home. He would never be hungry.

Before the noodles were ready, a figure strode in from outside. Li Baizhang walked quickly to Lin Xiu and said, “I heard about everything. How will my father deal with you when he comes?”

Lin Xiu said, “Zhang Jing was taken away by the Zhang family, and His Majesty let us go back.”

Li Baizhang clenched his fist, knocked on the stone table, and said, “The Zhang surname is too arrogant!”

The big fist is the hard truth. If you are weak, even the emperor is so frustrated.

Of course, the strength of the royal family may not be weaker than that of the Zhang family, but when the strength of a family is strong enough to be on par with the royal family, the royal family must also look at their faces.

Li Baizhang wanted to say something else, but a figure came out of the kitchen, put a bowl of noodles in front of Lin Xiu, handed him the chopsticks, and said, “You eat first, I’ll prepare what you want for dinner.”

Li Baizhang looked at Qin Wan, thinking that he was hallucinating. He closed his eyes and opened them again, but the illusion did not disappear.

Finally realizing something, he even pointed at Lin Xiu, his eyes widened, his expression extremely unbelievable: “You, you…”

Lin Xiu said: “Don’t get me wrong, it’s not what you think, Miss Wan’er just lives here.”

Qin Wan did not explain anything, and soon went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Li Baizhang’s expression was dull, and it was difficult to accept this fact.

Who is Lin Xiu, how could he not know?

The two of them lived under the same roof, even if they were not the kind of relationship he thought now, it would be sooner or later.

He sighed and said, “I didn’t expect Miss Wan’er to be unable to escape your clutches in the end. Where is justice, where is justice…”

Lin Xiu did not continue the topic and asked, “How are you and Miss Chen?”

Li Baizhang lowered his head and said, “I don’t want to talk now.”

He was a little depressed. Putting aside his feelings, from the perspective of an admirer, although Pepe is also very good, Miss Wan’er will always be the first in his heart.

What’s more, Lin Xiu has more than Miss Wan’er.

He also has Xue Ning’er. Two of the four most beautiful flowers in the Yishu Academy were picked by him. Is he still a human being?

Lin Xiu could understand Li Baizhang’s mood. In his previous life, he was also lost for several nights when he learned that the actress he liked was married.

Li Baizhang was silent for a moment and asked, “Does Miss Ning’er know that she is not angry?”

Speaking of Ning’er, Lin Xiu suddenly realized that when he came out of the palace today, she left before he had time to say a word to her, and she was a little depressed at the time.

Lin Xiu knew that the Xue family had been keeping a close eye on her these days, and the two even met secretly.

She defended him in public this time, which would surely cause quite a stir, and no one knew how she was doing now.

Lin Xiu was thinking about her when suddenly two figures walked in from outside.

Like Li Baizhang, they did not have the habit of knocking on the door when entering other people’s houses.

Lin Xiu knew these two people.

He had met them once at the gate of Xue’s house.

They were Xue Ning’er’s brothers.

The burly young man looked at Lin Xiu and said in a deep voice: “We are Ning’er’s brothers, come with us, my grandfather wants to see you!”
