The Crazy Son-In-Law

“No, no, you must stay for a meal since you’ve come. Otherwise, we’ll be neglecting our duty,” Lv Qin urgently suggested.

“Madam, you go about your business. We’re not dining here,” Tong Li waved her off. He then turned to Yuxu, “I remember, Master, your favorite dish is the grilled fish from Moon Bay. Let me treat you to dinner there later, how does that sound?”

“Thank you for your kind offer, Young Master Tong, but I do have other matters to attend to. I don’t want to trouble you,” Yuxu replied.

“Alright then, if Master has other matters, I won’t insist,” Tong Li said, “Please read the fortunes for these few friends of mine.”

Yuxu nodded, “I’d be happy to help.”

Chang Li, who had been eager all the while, immediately walked over to sit across from Yuxu, and shyly said, “Master, I’d like to know about my marriage prospects.”

“Could you please tell me your birth date, and time of birth?”

After Chang Li shared her birth details, Yuxu stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment, and said, “You have a strong personality… a compatible man will appear in May. Control your temper, and marriage is not far away.”

Chang Li was left somewhat confused, but she understood the last two sentences.

“So, Master, you’re saying if I manage my emotions, I will soon find love, right?”

Yuxu nodded affirmatively. From her behavior, he could tell that Chang Li had a strong personality, a common trait among young girls nowadays.

“Master, you’re so accurate. My last boyfriend broke up with me because I always lost my temper with him. I will definitely try to control my temper from now on.”

While Yuxu was amusing Chang Li and her friends with his readings, Xiao Shun and Yao Cen were flirting and chatting idly on the side.

Suddenly, Tong Li and Chen Hua found themselves left out.

At this point, Tong Li had already concluded that Xiao Shun was Yao Cen’s boyfriend, which upset him.

How could someone like him even qualify to be my rival? He wondered how a beautiful woman like Yao Cen could fall for him. ‘The world is unfair,’ he thought.

Tong Li had imagined Yao Cen’s boyfriend to be a wealthy young man, which would have been a bit of a challenge.

However, this was also good. He was confident in dealing with an inconspicuous opponent like Xiao Shun, and images of Yao Cen lying naked in his bed started to surface in his mind.

Chen Hua was sitting across from him at this moment, winking at him and lowering his voice, “Are you not going to make a move? Go on, Mr. Tong, get that beauty in bed tonight.”

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Tong Li’s mouth. He got up and walked over to the table where Xiao Shun and Yao Cen were sitting, and sat down next to Yao Cen.

Subconsciously, Yao Cen shifted a bit to the side.

“You’re Yao’s boyfriend, right? Nice to meet you.” Before Yao Cen could speak, Tong Li took the lead to ask. His face was full of confidence, and he looked at Xiao Shun arrogantly.

“No.” Xiao Shun replied calmly, “I am her husband.”

A smile hung on Tong Li’s face, but a surge of nameless anger sprang up within him.

How could a loser like this deserve a top-notch beauty like Yao Cen!

“I don’t think you’re good enough for Yao Cen, what do you think?” Tong Li said mockingly.

Xiao Shun glanced at Yao Cen. This troublemaker, even in sportswear, attracted attention. How dare he let her wear that dress out! It seemed all her makeup would have to be confiscated in the future!

“I think it’s fine. A fortune teller once said that our eight characters are very compatible.”

“That fortune teller also said that my wife’s life lacks me, and without me, she will die. So she can’t leave me, she can only marry me in this life. If she marries someone else, it would harm the husband, either she dies or that guy dies.”

“So in order not to let her cause harm to others, I had to compromise and agreed to marry her. If I had known that she attracts so much attention, I would have let her cause trouble in society.”

Xiao Shun said this very seriously.

Yao Cen nearly choked on her own spit, staring at him with wide eyes!

“You didn’t bribe that fortune teller, did you?” Tong Li gave a sinister smile.

“Who would believe this nonsense? Isn’t that a sign of mental illness?”

“It’s a coincidence, my wife believes it wholeheartedly, do you also think she’s mentally ill?” Xiao Shun said with a playful smile.

“If you don’t believe it, let Master Yuxu come and cast a hexagram for us to see if what I said is true.”

Tong Li didn’t believe in fortune telling at all, but since the conversation had come to this point, he was curious to see if there was any truth to what Xiao Shun had said.

“Master Yuxu, could you please come over and cast a hexagram for my two friends here to see their marriage.” Tong Li looked up at Yuxu and said.

The two tables were not far apart, and as a cultivator, Yuxu had sharp ears and eyes.

He heard Xiao Shun’s conversation with Tong Li very clearly. Tong Li’s condescending attitude and his commands had already annoyed him, and now he dared to challenge Master Xiao, thinking he was something?

However, since Master Xiao didn’t say anything, he didn’t want to make a scene, so he had to get up and walk over.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Xiao Shun made a gesture of invitation, allowing Yuxu to sit next to him and said with a smile, “Master, please cast a hexagram for us to see whether what the fortune teller said before is true or not, whether my wife can’t live without me.”

Yuxu: “…”

Yao Cen: “…”

She had noticed earlier that day at Yao’s house how much Yuxu feared Xiao Shun. Of course, he would go along with Xiao Shun now. Whatever he said would be the truth!

Then, Xiao Shun and Yao Cen reported their respective birth dates to Yuxu for the hexagram.

Although Xiao Shun did not know his own birth date at all.

After his master took him to the mountain, he gave him a new age, and even celebrated his sixth birthday on that day. Therefore, his actual age may not be accurate, let alone his birth date.

But it probably wasn’t far off, after all, the difference between children of one or two years old isn’t large. If the difference was too big, it would be easy to tell.

After pondering for a moment, Yuxu raised his head and made a show of examining Yao Cen’s face.

Yao Cen knew that her fate was destined to be bad, so she didn’t care. Let Yuxu say whatever he wanted. This account would all be charged to that jerk Xiao Shun!

Before, Tong Li never believed in all this, but now he was staring at Yuxu earnestly, waiting for Yuxu to slap the face of Xiao Shun. Chang Li and a few others also came over to watch the excitement.

Yuxu stroked his long beard and slowly said, “Miracle.”
