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

Li Mingxuan's words are not wrong.

Regardless of whether Lin Ping married into the family or not, he was nominally a fine horse, and his status far exceeded that of a martial arts graduate.

The status of a son-in-law is only talked about behind people's backs, but will not be ridiculed openly.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to mocking the city lord's mansion.

"He's just a shameless son-in-law; how dare he compare himself to Young Master Zhang?"

Su Lianlian immediately felt confident.

Upon hearing this, Li Mingxuan flew into a rage, slapped Su Lianlian across the face, and shouted, "You bitch, how dare you insult a horse! Open your mouth!"

His actions completely stunned Lin Ping.

This kid really gets things done when things get tough, he's got guts!

"You lowly servant dare to hit me! Young Master Zhang, teach them a lesson for me!"

Su Lianlian covered her face, gritting her teeth in anger.

Zhang Hongyuan was equally furious, but he dared not act rashly.

If they really slapped Li Mingxuan, it would be the same as slapping the face of the City Lord's Mansion.

He cannot immediately turn against the City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, Lin Ping has two gang leaders by his side, and if the two of them join forces, he doesn't have much of a chance of winning.

"Young Master Zhang, you are a captain, how dare you not reprimand this lowly servant!"

Su Lianlian said with a wronged expression.

"We are truly ignorant. In the Wu Kingdom, a martial arts graduate can at most become a squad leader, let alone a captain."

At this point, Li Mingxuan paused for a moment. The color and pattern of the other person's clothes were indeed the symbol of a fifth-rank military officer, which meant that the other person was indeed a captain.

“Unless…” Li Mingxuan continued, “unless you spend tens of thousands of taels to bribe officials.”

"LeBron James is a real talent!"

Lin Ping was secretly delighted; with this guy by his side, he didn't have to worry about being criticized by others.

Su Lianlian's face turned green with anger, and she clenched her two small fists tightly. If she didn't have to maintain her image as a socialite, she would have definitely started a fight.

“That’s right, I bought my title of captain, and I bought it with the money you, Lin Ping, made from selling land!”

The man in the green robe finally spoke, shamelessly saying to Lin Ping, "Do you think I, Zhang Hongyuan, am awesome?"

Just as the other person was feeling smug, Lin Ping turned his head and said, "I'm not looking!"

"And look at you, Lin Ping, you're worlds apart!"

Zhang Hongyuan still maintained his arrogant demeanor, but he couldn't tell that Lin Ping had made a lewd joke.

These words stunned Lin Ping for a long time. What kind of world was this? How dare the other party openly talk about such a shameful thing as buying an official position?

That's not impossible. Lin Ping is a notorious spendthrift, so even if he reported that the other party had bought an official position, probably no one would believe him.

Moreover, since the imperial court intends to suppress the city lord, it will certainly not help Lin Ping deal with the prefect's son.

After hearing this, Li Mingxuan also withdrew. Lin Ping squandered the family fortune and helped others, which was not a glorious thing to say. Even he didn't know how to refute it.

Lin Ping was not angry but amused, or rather, amused by his anger. The other party not only trampled his intelligence underfoot but also put a green hat on him.

Lin Ping is a reasonable person who knows that what is borrowed must be returned, and he can't let this green hat stay in his hands.

So he shook his head and said, "Young Master Zhang, you don't know this, but I spent that little money to have Su Lianlian keep me company for several nights. The feeling was wonderful!"

"You bastard, when have I ever slept with you?"

Su Lianlian was furious and was about to slap Lin Ping across the face.

A woman's chastity is more important than her life, especially since Lin Ping said this in front of Su Lianlian's fiancé.

If true, the marriage will most likely fall through.

Zhang Hongyuan is the son of the prefect, and now he's a captain. How could he marry a woman who has slept with someone else?

Lin Ping calmly caught Su Lianlian's slap, stroking her delicate hand repeatedly, looking as if he were experiencing a life-or-death moment. "Lianlian, your skin is as smooth as ever."

Su Lianlian was on the verge of tears, and kept explaining to Zhang Hongyuan, "Young Master Zhang, he's spouting nonsense, don't believe him."

Zhang Hongyuan probably didn't believe it, but considering that the two had dated for a while and that Lin Ping was such a shameless person, he might have done something shameful.

"Miss Su, if you disagree, I'll have to provide evidence! For example, I know exactly where your mole and birthmark are!"

Lin Ping said with a lecherous grin.

Upon hearing this, Su Lianlian panicked.

Although she had never slept with Lin Ping, she had indeed exposed a lot to him a few days ago in order to get money.

She hadn't expected Lin Ping to record it in such detail.

"You, you're talking nonsense... Young Master Zhang, don't listen to him."

Su Lianlian was so anxious that she was almost frantic, and tears streamed down her face.

Zhang Hongyuan, on the other hand, was much calmer. His marriage with Su Lianlian was, in fact, a relationship based on mutual benefit.

He used the Su family's money to bribe officials at all levels, and the Su family used the power of the prefect to bully and dominate the market.

Therefore, Zhang Hongyuan didn't really care whether Su Lianlian was still virgin or not.

"Lianlian and I are getting engaged on the eighth day of next month. Young Master Lin must come!"

Zhang Hongyuan extended a hand of friendship, saying with a smile that concealed a dagger.

"Of course I'll come, and the gift is a must." Lin Ping smiled amicably, but the smile took a turn for the worse as he added, "Young Master Zhang is incredibly fortunate to marry Lianlian; Lianlian's martial arts skills are quite impressive!"

Son-in-law, are you a demon? Talking like that could kill someone!

Did Lin Ping lie? Of course not. Although he had never slept with Su Lianlian, he knew that Su Lianlian was the kind of woman who was not promiscuous.

I don't even know how many times she's slept with other people.

Su Lianlian burst into tears, clutching her chest tightly, unsure how to explain to Zhang Hongyuan.

Zhang Hongyuan also clenched his fists and bit down hard on his teeth.

He and Su Lianlian were like dry wood meeting a raging fire; they had recently engaged in a shameful affair, so he naturally knew that she was skilled in bed.

However, how could Lin Ping know about such a private matter?

Zhang Hongyuan stared intently at Lin Ping's retreating figure, his anger blazing. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could punch Lin Ping to death.

Seeing Zhang Hongyuan's ashen face, Li Mingxuan and the others couldn't stop laughing and asked curiously, "Young Master, did you really sleep with that woman?"

To be honest, before he was beaten up, Li Mingxuan looked down on Lin Ping and even thought that it was not the behavior of a real man to be completely deceived by a woman.

However, if the two had slept together, that would be a different story. After all, the other party was quite attractive, and if we calculate based on the saying "a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold," Lin Ping wouldn't seem to have lost out.

Lin Ping shook his head. Even if you really slept with him, you can't say anything. Who knows if Li Mingxuan will report you to the city lord?

"Then how did you know that woman was good at kung fu?" Li Mingxuan asked, glancing at him with a puzzled look.

"This kind of woman is born a bastard. The men who have slept with her could probably line up from the south gate to the north gate of the city. How could she not know some kung fu?"

Lin Ping explained with a smile.
