Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"The son-in-law of the city lord's mansion is such a good person!"

"That's right, not only did they heal Old Wang's leg injury, they also took in his daughter."

Behind Lin Ping's back was a thunderous applause. Following the principle of loving the house because of the dog, Lin Ping's appearance was accompanied by an aura, and no matter what he did, people could find something good about him.

Lin Ping was somewhat depressed, thinking to himself, "When I helped old ladies cross the street back then, no one praised me; when I saved a wayward girl, no one praised me. Now that I'm a spendthrift, I'm respected."

Has the world changed? No, the world has never changed.

What changed was Lin Ping's identity.

The thought of living such a life of being worshipped left Lin Ping speechless.

If things continue like this, when will he be able to complete his mission?

To maintain his image as a playboy, Lin Ping stared lecherously at Wang Xiao'e's chest for a long time.

"Erli, Erniu, take this girl... no, no, take this girl back to the city lord's mansion. The young master has important matters to attend to."

Lin Ping had two important things to do on this trip: first, he wanted to buy up all the soapberries in the city; second, he wanted to go home to visit his parents.

It wouldn't be right to keep taking Wang Xiao'e wandering around the streets. It would be better to have Erli and Erniu send her back to the city lord's mansion beforehand, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Don't worry, son-in-law, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

The two men smiled knowingly and even winked repeatedly, implying that the son-in-law would definitely get to eat meat that night.

"You boy!"

Lin Ping exchanged a glance with the two men and revealed a mischievous smile.

Although Wang Xiao'e couldn't see Lin Ping's smile clearly, she could hear his voice, and she was immediately terrified.

She knew she had encountered bad people and that her life was over.

But thinking of her father's injuries, she had no choice but to obediently follow Erli and Erniu back to the mansion.

After Wang Xiao'e left, Lin Ping wanted to go home and visit.

But this was his first time visiting his wife's family after getting married, so he always brought some gifts.

Firstly, it was to demonstrate the strength of the city lord's mansion to the people; secondly, it was also for the purpose of squandering wealth.

What should I buy?

This is a thought-provoking question.

Buying chicken, duck, fish, and meat is not in keeping with his current status, nor is it presentable.

If this gets back to the city lord's mansion, what will happen?

The son-in-law bought chicken, duck, fish and meat for his parents, which was very frugal.

The son-in-law bought ginseng and lingzhi for his parents, showing great filial piety.

Such rumors are extremely detrimental to Lin Ping. How can a complete spendthrift be frugal? How can he be filial?

Lin Ping pondered for a moment, and then a brilliant idea struck him.

"The old man likes jade, so I spent a thousand or eight hundred taels to buy a piece of jade of better quality. It was worth coming home."

Lin Ping muttered softly.

Li Mingxuan and the others were startled; this son-in-law was truly extravagant!

Before even leaving the house, he had already given them fifty taels of silver. He had just spent another hundred taels to buy a maid, and now he was going to spend another thousand or eight hundred taels to buy jade.

You only have a thousand taels of silver in total, sir!

If we spend all our money, how will we buy soapberries?

If the city lord were to blame him, his personal attendant would also suffer. So, Li Mingxuan braced himself and said softly, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should?"

This was just a polite tone; anyone with common sense would let Li Mingxuan continue.

"Then shut up."

Lin Ping said sternly, giving Li Mingxuan no chance to speak.

Li Mingxuan could no longer hold back and decided to defy public opinion, so he mustered his courage and said, "This thousand taels of silver seems..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ping's flying kick landed on Li Mingxuan's buttocks, followed by a barrage of curses: "You bastard, who's in charge, you or me?"

Having witnessed Lin Ping's methods, Li Mingxuan dared not utter a word, and even felt a little smug.

As a long-time attendant, he understood how to curry favor in officialdom and roughly guessed why Lin Ping was able to marry into the city lord's family. In other words, the more Lin Ping squandered his fortune, the happier the city lord would be, and he would not be punished.

Just as Lin Ping was pondering which jade piece would be the most impressive, his eyes suddenly lit up. Approaching him was a woman with a stunning figure, snow-white skin, and a beautiful face—a true beauty.

This woman was none other than Su Lianlian, who almost married Lin Ping.

"Oh, isn't this the eldest son of the Lin family?"

Su Lianlian said with a contemptuous tone.

Just a few days ago, she thought Lin Ping was a hidden millionaire.

But when the gambling den owner went to the Lin family to collect debts, the Lin family was unable to pay, which made her realize the true state of the Lin family.

Lin Ping was penniless.

Furthermore, Lin Ping's marriage into the city lord's mansion made him even more despised by everyone.

Lin Ping was instantly furious. You cheated me out of my money and I haven't even settled the score with you, but you're still trying to talk my way out of this? You think you're so great?

Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly sensed a faint murderous aura and realized that a man in a green robe with a bear-shaped desk next to Su Lianlian was staring at him in surprise.

"It seems he's found a new home, no wonder he's so carefree."

Lin Ping felt even more annoyed, and even felt like he was being cuckolded.

He might not eat some rotten cabbage, but he can't let it shine on his head.

“Lin Ping, this is the son of the prefect, and also my fiancé. He recently passed the martial arts examination with top honors and is now a captain in Yangzhou Prefecture! He is not someone a spendthrift like you can compare to.”

Su Lianlian said arrogantly, almost pointing her nose to the sky.

Lin Ping was a little dizzy from hearing this string of identities. In short, the other party was very powerful, which explained why Su Lianlian abandoned him.

This is not only about riding on Lin Ping's head and pooping, but also about making Lin Ping stick out his tongue!

It's a great shame and a great humiliation. It's simply a great shame and great humiliation.

Lin Ping chickened out. Su Lianlian was a socialite in Jiangcheng City, and her words could kill. He didn't seem to have the upper hand in a verbal battle, and he couldn't beat her in a fight either, since she was a martial arts champion.

What should we do? We can't just swallow the shit and then pretend it's delicious.

Just as Lin Ping was still furious, Li Mingxuan couldn't stand it anymore. He straightened his clothes and calmly walked up to Su Lianlian, saying in a low voice, "I am a servant, and my ancestors have been servants for three generations. I know the ways of officialdom very well. Don't try to fool me. The imperial examinations have just ended, and the martial arts examinations won't start for another two months. Where will the martial arts champion come from? At most, he'll be a martial arts graduate."

The civil service examination system in Wu Kingdom was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. It had long since added a military examination and stipulated that the military examination would be held two months after the civil service examination.

The spring imperial examinations have just ended, and there are still two months until the martial arts examinations, meaning that the other party cannot possibly be the martial arts champion.

Seeing Li Mingxuan's unhurried demeanor, Lin Ping almost burst out laughing. This guy doesn't seem to have much ability, but he's quite eloquent when it comes to arguing.

After being exposed by Li Mingxuan, Su Lianlian was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she had a thick skin and continued, "So what if you are a martial arts graduate? You are still better than a good-for-nothing spendthrift like you."

“Our son-in-law is the princess’s husband, and his status is much higher than that of a martial arts graduate. According to etiquette, the graduate Wu should kneel down and pay his respects to our son-in-law!”

Li Mingxuan continued, head held high and chest puffed out.
