My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

No one expected that Bai Shaoqiu would open a blacksmith shop in the princess's mansion!

That's right,

He asked Wang Sanchui to take the servants of the Princess's Mansion to the West Market and move Wang Sanchui's blacksmith shop to the Princess's Mansion!

Three days later, the sound of blacksmithing was heard from the backyard of the princess's mansion.

The servants in the Princess's Mansion were all extremely surprised by this, but no one dared to say anything about the incredible thing that the son-in-law had done!

Because, Zhou Quan, the chief steward of the Princess's Mansion, was kicked out by the doorman at the request of the son-in-law just because he said no!

The princess was not at home, and this son-in-law... began to exercise his power as the male owner of the princess's house, without any awareness of being a son-in-law.

These servants still have good eyesight.

After all, Zhou Quan went to the prince and princess to cry and complain, but what was the result?

As a result, the princess impatiently sent guards to throw Zhou Quan out!

Qing'er therefore sternly warned all the servants—

"Anyone who dares to disrespect me will end up like Zhou Quan!"

"This is what the princess meant...and what the princess meant!"

The servants were naturally very scared, so they dared not show any disrespect to the son-in-law.

The son-in-law didn't seem to care about them. He went to the blacksmith shop in the backyard with his crutches again.

My son-in-law is a scholar, why does he have such a strong interest in blacksmithing?

He Xiaofeng thought so too.

……

……

"Three hammers,"

Wang Sanchui finished forging the iron on the anvil with a clang of sound. He then raised his arm, wiped the sweat off his face, and looked at Bai Shaoqiu:

"What do you want, Master?"

"This is your badge for entering and leaving the Princess's Mansion,"

Bai Shaoqiu handed over a black sign and said, "You can't go to the main courtyard or the back garden without permission. If you need anything, you can ask Qing'er. She will send someone to buy it for you!"

"Your accommodation is right next door...it's a little basic, but the food is good, so just make do with it."

Wang Sanchui bowed and took the badge, his dark face full of gratitude:

"Thank you, Master!"

"I know the rules...but..."

"Are you worried about your wife and children?"

"Yes!"

"Master, I have sent someone to bring your wife and children over. You and your family can live here."

Wang Sanchui was about to thank him when Bai Shaoqiu waved his hand and said, "You are the first servant I have ever bought!"

"This young master will not treat you unfairly!"

"Your son will go to the academy in the palace to study... I've already told the prince and princess that you don't need to pay any tuition to the teachers there. They will treat your son equally."

"If you don't treat everyone equally, remember to tell me if your son is wronged!"

"Also, there is a doctor with superb medical skills in the palace. I will ask the doctor to treat your wife when she arrives."

When Wang Sanchui heard this, he was so moved that tears filled his eyes!

He never expected that the young master would arrange the matter he was worried about so well.

He never expected that his son could study in the palace's library!

He suddenly felt guilty for taking the young master's money...

"Master..."

Bai Shaoqiu waved his hand again.

He Xiaofeng leaned on the threshold of the blacksmith shop with his arms folded, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, just watching curiously.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

This son-in-law has a way of winning people's hearts!

This blacksmith's skills are extremely superb, but what on earth does Bai Shaoqiu want to create by going to such great lengths to win over a blacksmith?

Sure enough, Bai Shaoqiu spoke again:

"This young master is not a good man. I am solving these problems for you just because I hope you can serve me wholeheartedly."

"This is an exchange, you don't have to thank me!"

As he said this, Bai Shaoqiu took out the remaining drawings of the compound bow from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Wang Sanchui:

"You can even understand this as me using your wife and son as a threat to stop you from leaking these blueprints I gave you."

Wang Sanchui was stunned. He took the drawings and looked up at Bai Shaoqiu: "I would never do such a thing!"

"Of course I believe you, but... I don't want to test human nature."

"This is safer. You can rest assured, and I can rest assured too!"

"I'll give you ten days. I want the first sample."

Wang Sanchui pondered for three breaths, then bowed and said, "Okay!"

"Go on."

The sound of blacksmithing in the blacksmith shop rang out again. Bai Shaoqiu left the shop and returned to the main courtyard with He Xiaofeng, who looked confused, and sat in the pavilion under the sun.

Bai Shaoqiu makes tea.

He Xiaofeng still leaned against a pillar of the pavilion with his arms folded.

He stared at Bai Shaoqiu, and finally couldn't help asking:

"What are you going to fight?"

Bai Shaoqiu blew on the tinder to light the fire, "Remember to call me Master!"

"...Master, what are you going to fight?"

"A concierge should have the awareness of a concierge. Don't ask about the young master's affairs."

He Xiaofeng's eyes widened and he felt unwell.

He really wanted to say, "Do you really think of me as a doorman?"

But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Because his father told him that the current Bai Shaoqiu is not the same Bai Shaoqiu as before!

His identity has changed!

Don't be as casual in front of him as you used to be!

Ok,

He Xiaofeng turned his gaze away in frustration, but Bai Shaoqiu's unhurried voice came to his ears again:

"madman,"

He Xiaofeng ignored it.

"Tell me...if I asked you to kill two people for me, would you refuse?"

He Xiaofeng raised his neck slightly and said, "The doorman is just guarding the door!"

"Someone came here to kill you, and it is my duty to protect your safety."

"But the concierge has no obligation to accept your orders and kill people for you... I'm not your servant like Wang Sanchui!"

Bai Shaoqiu immediately laughed.

"you're right."

"This young master will practice martial arts after drinking a pot of tea."

"When I'm practicing martial arts, my mind wanders in the void. You can't leave my side for even a moment."

These two sentences surprised He Xiaofeng.

His gaze fell on Bai Shaoqiu's indifferent face again.

"You? Martial arts?"

Bai Shaoqiu took the tea and put it on, "What's wrong with me practicing martial arts?"

"..."

He Xiaofeng was speechless.

Who could have expected that this guy could go from being a loser to becoming the leader of a literary society?

Then it seems not impossible for him to achieve some success in martial arts at the age of nearly eighteen.

But, is it really possible for him to develop internal strength?

Three poles in the sun.

Bai Shaoqiu drank a pot of tea calmly.

He once again sat cross-legged in this pavilion according to the method of "Supreme Qi Training Art".

With his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, he continued to practice Qigong.

He Xiaofeng was still leaning against the pillar with his arms folded, but he no longer chewed the dogtail grass in his mouth.

He stared at Bai Shaoqiu's face intently!

In the silent courtyard, the only sound was Bai Shaoqiu's long and light breathing.

An hour passed.

Old Yu walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back.

He Xiaofeng was about to salute when Lao Yu waved his hand.

He walked into the pavilion, sat opposite Bai Shaoqiu, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of cold tea, staring at Bai Shaoqiu intently.

He Xiaofeng asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Yu, what is he practicing?"

Old Yu grinned: "The Supreme Qi Training Technique!"

"...I heard that no one has mastered this internal martial arts technique!"

"Yeah, I didn't say he could do it!"

He Xiaofeng was speechless: "......!"
