51: So, can I only call her sister-in-law now?

Everyone smiled, as if a heavy burden had been lifted; this matter was finally over.

After all, Feng Mian had been beaten into submission, so he shouldn't have any other ideas.

When Feng Ming left, he gave the Pickup Artist Manual rewarded by the System to Feng Mian.

"Big Brother, regarding Shuwan, I truly feel a bit sorry, but there were reasons back then. Please don't blame me."

"I'm giving this book to you. As long as you study it well, you won't have to worry about finding a wife. Don't think about Shuwan anymore; for the rest of her life, she will be your Younger Brothers Wife."

Feng Mian took the book dismissively, looking at Jiang Shuwan with some lingering reluctance.

Feng Ming then led Jiang Shuwan out of the hall.

After they left.

Feng Xiaotian also recounted the events of that day to Feng Mian.

After his fight with Feng Ming, Feng Mian's emotions stabilized, and his anger dissipated significantly.

After listening to Feng Xiaotian, he realized that if Feng Ming hadn't married Jiang Shuwan back then, both the Feng Family and Jiang Family would have been in a very awkward position.

Understanding was one thing, but he had also taken a liking to this wife.

Feng Mian felt like crying but had no tears.

Had he known that the price of returning late was losing his wife, he wouldn't have delayed for so long even if it killed him.

On the other side.

Huangfu Family, study room.

Huangfu Xuan felt irritable and uneasy, forcing himself to calm down.

He was holding a brush and writing.

The butler rushed in.

"Family Head, this is bad! The caravan is back."

Drip.

A drop of ink fell onto the Xuan paper, staining a large area.

The character he was halfway through writing immediately became a blurry mess.

"What did you say?"

"Family Head, the Feng Family's caravan has returned!"

"That's impossible."

The brush in Huangfu Xuan's hand dropped onto the paper, his face full of disbelief.

"What exactly happened?"

"I heard that Jiang Shuwan and Feng Ming personally brought them back, and even that half-step Golden Core Yao Beast was killed by Jiang Shuwan." The butler's emotions were also unstable.

A matter that was supposed to be a sure victory had gone wrong.

Moreover, he understood the principle that they would rise or fall together.

Thud.

Huangfu Xuan slumped into his chair.

His face was as pale as ash.

"How could Jiang Shuwan's strength be so great?"

"It's over, it's all over."

"The team from the Lingxiao Sect for recruiting Disciples has also arrived in Liumian Prefecture, and the Feng Family's Medicinal Pills can be produced normally."

"The key is that their Medicinal Pills are high quality and low price; we simply can't compete. It's all over now."

Huangfu Xuan came to his senses and wept bitterly.

The butler quickly tried to comfort him.

"Family Head, please don't be too despairing. Perhaps things haven't reached that point yet. At least for now, the Feng Family has no evidence to prove that this matter is related to you and the Huangfu Family of Qingyang City."

"At least for now, the situation isn't too bad."

Huangfu Xuan froze. "Is it true that no evidence was left?"

The butler nodded. "I have indeed investigated; the Death Warriors sent by the Main Family Branch died on the spot. Feng Ming truly has no evidence."

"Even though they sent the bodies to the City Lord's Mansion, how can dead people leak secrets?"

Huangfu Xuan sighed.

"What I'm worried about isn't the Main Family in Qingyang City. I don't care if they live or die, and I'd even prefer them to be unlucky. The key is that we haven't handled the matters in Liumian Prefecture well, and the Main Family won't let us off."

"I don't understand why we couldn't take down a tiny Feng Family despite all our planning."

Huangfu Xuan's losses were heavy.

His only son was ruined.

The Main Family would likely abandon them as well.

Now, he had no idea where his future lay.

Huangfu Xuan couldn't hold it together and covered his face, weeping bitterly again... After Feng Ming and Jiang Shuwan returned to their room, Jiang Shuwan could no longer hold back and threw herself into Feng Ming's arms.

"Husband, I was really scared today. Why is your Big Brother so hot-tempered?"

"And you too, he's your Big Brother, and you actually beat him up."

Feng Ming patted her back to comfort her.

"What's there to fear? We're biological brothers. It's good that he treats me well, but I also have a bottom line that cannot be crossed, and that is you."

Jiang Shuwan was deeply moved and leaned against Feng Ming's chest to ask.

"Then aren't you afraid of affecting your brotherly bond?"

Jiang Shuwan was very worried that she would affect the relationship between Feng Ming and his brother.

Feng Ming smiled.

"Don't worry. After this fight with him, he won't have any more issues. It wasn't necessarily love at first sight for him; he just saw that you were beautiful and felt like he had lost out."

"But what should we do next?"

Feng Ming chuckled.

"I even gave him the Pickup Artist Skill Book. Once he reads it, he'll naturally shift his attention."

"However, I did beat him up today, so I should give him some other compensation."

A stick followed by a carrot.

"Then think about it carefully."

Jiang Shuwan also felt it was necessary to make it up to him.

While Feng Ming was deep in thought.

Jiang Shuwan was already dragging him outside.

"Husband, you can think about the compensation when you get back. First, let's go find Sister Lu. If we're too late, she'll be asleep."

This reminder.

Made Feng Ming remember that he had promised Jiang Shuwan to go and explain things to Anan.

The night was deep.

Anan, who had been busy all afternoon, massaged her shoulders.

"Finally finished."

Just as she spoke, a figure walked in.

Seeing the person, Anan's eyes lit up.

She immediately ordered.

"Autumn Chrysanthemum, go guard the door and don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Young Miss!"

Autumn Chrysanthemum hurried to guard the shop entrance.

Anan turned toward the beautiful young girl who had just entered and sat at the table drinking tea.

Her eyes sparkled with light.

Before Anan could speak.

The beautiful young girl put down her teacup and spoke coquettishly.

"Big Sister, what are you doing? It's not like I'm a secret. You even had Autumn Chrysanthemum watch outside, making it feel like we're having an affair."

Hearing this, Anan rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Lu Qianqian, stop speaking so recklessly. Do you really not know who I'm guarding against?"

Lu Qianqian stuck out her tongue.

"Big Sister, don't worry. That guy from the Huangfu Family didn't come. I had Father find someone to get rid of him. How could I let him appear before you and annoy you?"

Hearing this, Anan breathed a sigh of relief.

"At least you have some conscience and know how to care for me."

Lu Qianqian chuckled and pulled out a small sword-shaped pendant from her robe.

She handed it to Anan.

"Look, sister, I've nurtured this sword embryo quite well, haven't I? I've been wearing it close to my body every day lately."

Anan took the pendant and nodded.

The pendant was only an inch long, crystal clear, and emitted a blue light.

It was clearly extraordinary.

"This sword embryo should have reached the Earth Grade Top-tier, right?"
