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

"Miss..."

Lin Ping mumbled in his sleep, while turning over, as if he wanted to put half of his body on Jiang Yunying.

Clearly, Jiang Yunying only appears in Lin Ping's dreams, not in his bed. This time, when he turned over and missed, Lin Ping was startled awake.

By this time, it was already bright daylight, and straight beams of light shone in through the lattice window, finally shining through the pink curtains onto Lin Ping's face.

"Pink?" Lin Ping was startled and exclaimed excitedly, "If I remember correctly, the curtains in my wife's room are pink!"

Thinking of this, Lin Ping's eyes widened immediately, and he sat up abruptly from the bed. He quickly scanned his surroundings and finally burst out laughing!

Lin Ping guessed correctly; this was indeed Jiang Yunying's boudoir. He was not only lying on her bed but also covered with her blanket.

"This means...they've consummated their marriage?"

Lin Ping's heart began to race. He even lifted the blanket to see what was going on, and then kept searching for bloodstains on the white sheets.

"That can't be... Could it be that my wife isn't..."

Lin Ping felt a deep sense of despair and hurriedly tried to comfort himself, saying, "It must be that practicing martial arts has disrupted some organizations. After all, modern women use riding bicycles as an excuse!"

The bicycle is about to cry. I'm innocent, don't use me as a shield!

"Husband, what are you looking for on the bed?"

Jiang Yunying personally brought over a bowl of hot porridge, just in time to see Lin Ping lying on the bed, sniffing around.

"Looking for my wife's chastity!"

Lin Ping answered without hesitation, completely unaware that he might get beaten up.

Sure enough, a pair of cold eyes stared at him from behind, which immediately made Lin Ping break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly scratched his head and said, "Wife, how did I end up sleeping in your bed? Did something unpleasant happen between us?"

Jiang Yunying nodded, slightly puzzled, and asked, "It happened!?"

"Oh?" Lin Ping's expression became exaggerated, his smile widening as he continued, "How unpleasant was it?"

Jiang Yunying didn't understand why Lin Ping had such a lewd look in his eyes, and explained, "Last night, my husband kept pestering me to come into my room, so I had no choice but to let you sleep in the bed by yourself... Oh, by the way... husband, please check if the bruises on your chest have faded."

Hearing this, Lin Ping felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cave, chilling him to the bone. So, he had only borrowed Jiang Yunying's bed and blankets, but hadn't actually borrowed her body...

Not only that, Lin Ping suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his chest, so he lifted his clothes and took a look... It was covered with palm prints!

Lin Ping could even picture the scene from last night, where other women were playfully teasing each other, saying things like, "I'm going to punch you in the chest with my little fists."

Jiang Yunying, however, said coldly, "Husband, if you keep acting recklessly, I'll have to take action... Black Tiger Heart-Piercing, Stone-Shattering Palm..."

This isn't just about strength; it also involves martial arts techniques...

When Lin Ping first woke up, he was overwhelmed with excitement, but now that his heart has calmed down, he can feel the pain.

Lin Ping burst into tears, feeling wronged. He couldn't stop crying without his wife's loving hug.

"Princess, son-in-law, it's time to get up. The city lord wants to see you."

Li Mingxuan knocked on the door latch and said in a sarcastic tone, the implication being clear: Son-in-law, your health is important, eat more leeks...

Lin Ping immediately stopped crying. He couldn't let Li Mingxuan laugh at him. Besides, he suddenly remembered the promise he made to the city lord last night.

Although the crisis at the City Lord's Mansion has been resolved, Qian Duoduo has come to collect his debts. The City Lord's Mansion is a trustworthy organization; how could they default on their debts?

So, Lin Ping shamelessly took Jiang Yunying's hand and hurried towards the hall. Along the way, Li Mingxuan kept grinning lewdly and even started to imagine the scene, secretly giving Lin Ping a thumbs up.

He was a servant in the city lord's mansion and had a lot of contact with the family head, so he knew Jiang Yunying's personality to some extent. He originally thought Lin Ping was a good-for-nothing son-in-law, but he didn't expect that the other party would do one spectacular thing after another.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes, so it's not impossible that Jiang Yunying would sacrifice herself for them.

When Lin Ping stepped into the hall, he was startled by what he saw. The spacious room was filled with wooden boxes of all sizes, but there was not much gold or silver jewelry inside.

"Ping'er, this is all the family's possessions in the storeroom. Take it to pay off your debts!"

The city lord wore a bitter expression, his heart bleeding.

Lin Ping naturally knew the city lord's difficulties, and guessed that the other party hadn't slept well that night.

This is the city lord's entire fortune; if it were all used to pay off debts, the entire city lord's mansion wouldn't even be able to operate.

Thinking of how a city lord's mansion, which had stood for two hundred years, had fallen to this state, Lin Ping felt a pang of sadness and finally accepted the money with tears in his eyes.

"That's all the money? You're kidding me!"

Lin Ping thought to himself, "You're the kind of person who can hide a certificate of merit under your pillow, and who knows how many silver notes you have under your bed!"

Just as Lin Ping had predicted, it was true that the City Lord's Mansion was short of money, but not to the point of being so destitute; they still had the ability to pay off their debts.

"Father, this money... seems... a bit too little!"

Lin Ping chuckled, almost cursing out loud, thinking to himself: Don't think you can fool me with these broken boxes. There's at most five thousand taels of silver in them.

The city lord blushed and laughed, "It is indeed a bit too little. I have some private savings here, you can take them too!"

As he spoke, the city lord struggled to pull out a hundred-tael silver note from his pocket, clutching it tightly with two fingers, but Lin Ping still snatched it away without any politeness.

“Father…” Jiang Yunying was speechless, naturally knowing that the city lord was making things difficult for Lin Ping.

Using five thousand taels of silver to repay a debt of over one hundred thousand taels is a bit too ruthless. Even Jiang Yunying couldn't stand it. You should at least come up with thirty to fifty thousand taels.

"It's still a bit too little!" Lin Ping shook his head and said.

"Lin Ping, don't push your luck!"

The city lord slammed his hand on the desk and asked in a serious tone, "Let me ask you, is Yunying worth one million taels of silver in your heart?"

"Worth it! Worth it! Worth it!" Lin Ping nodded like a chick pecking at rice, without the slightest hesitation.

Let alone one million taels, even ten million taels would be worth it. Lin Ping knew that his father-in-law was selling his daughter, so he simply granted his wish.

"Alright, if you return the 150,000 taels of silver owed to Jin Manlou and give me another 850,000 taels of silver, Yunying will be yours!"

The city lord turned his head and said, even he himself felt that his words were somewhat shameless.

"My wife is mine to begin with, why would I need you to deliver her?" Lin Ping muttered to himself, but still patted his chest and readily agreed.

He understood the city lord's meaning: as long as he could come up with one million taels of silver, Jiang Yunying would consummate their marriage.

"Father, what do you take your daughter for?"

Jiang Yunying felt an indescribable sense of grievance.

The city lord kept winking at Jiang Yunying, meaning, "It's a delaying tactic. Anyway, this kid can't possibly earn a million taels of silver."

"My wife, let's go!"

Lin Ping hurriedly took Jiang Yunying's hand and tried to walk out, but it felt like he was pulling on a mountain. He was immediately pulled and almost fell to the ground.

Lin Ping glanced helplessly at Jiang Yunying, feeling like a weakling, but at the same time he was determined to conquer this "female tyrant".

"Where are you going?" Jiang Yunying asked curiously. After all, he only had one hundred taels of silver notes. If he went to return the money so hastily, he would probably get beaten up.

"Of course I'm going to pay back the money!" Lin Ping said seriously, even patting his chest repeatedly. He didn't want to give the city lord a chance to return.

He even fantasized about raising one million taels of silver today and then openly demanding that Jiang Yunying... consummate their marriage!

"Oh..." Jiang Yunying responded suspiciously. Although she couldn't guess what kind of insidious scheme her husband had come up with this time, she knew that Jin Manlou and his friends were going to be in trouble. Who told them to be so blind as to offend their vengeful husband?

With the city lord's mansion and the government office now completely at odds, Lin Ping's entry into the city is more dangerous. Jiang Yunying has become his personal bodyguard, and Pang Xingji has also become his follower.

If Pang Xingji was willing to serve like a slave before out of gratitude for being saved, now it was purely out of admiration. Lin Ping not only resolved the crisis at the City Lord's Mansion, but also raided the private army of the Mountain City City Lord's Mansion, and even killed several captains who were Jiang Xiuwen's biggest headaches.

Although Lin Ping may seem cruel, Pang Xingji sees it as decisiveness and the actions of a great hero.

Besides Pang Xingji, Li Mingxuan and others naturally had to accompany him, always making a grand entrance to avoid being looked down upon by people like Qian Duoduo.

Just as Lin Ping was about to leave the mansion, the city lord actually took the initiative to let Jiang Yunyu follow.

To be honest, he felt more and more that this son-in-law was special.

"Alas... If only Yu'er were even a tenth as good as Ping'er, how wonderful that would be," the city lord sighed.

The city lord's wife was displeased upon hearing this. Jiang Yunyu was her son, how could he be inferior to even a tenth of someone else's? She replied with a resentful expression, "I don't like hearing what you're saying, husband."

"What does Madam mean...?" The city lord, a typical henpecked husband, turned pale with fright and hurriedly asked, not daring to anger his wife.

The city lord's wife pouted and said seriously, "If this unfilial son were even one percent as good as Ping'er, I would be laughing in my dreams!"

"One percent..."

The city lord was speechless. He really couldn't calculate how much one percent of Lin Ping was. Maybe Jiang Yunyu was a complete fool.

"Ah..."

The chubby boy in the carriage sneezed for no apparent reason, feeling as if someone was talking about him behind his back.

Lin Ping sat cross-legged, swaying uncoordinatedly with the carriage, inevitably colliding with Jiang Yunying.

"My wife, if your husband pays back the debt of 150,000 taels today, can we hold hands freely from now on?"

Lin Ping laughed shamelessly.

That makes sense. One million taels could buy Jiang Yunying's entire body, and 150,000 taels could buy her two jade hands. Of course, Lin Ping wouldn't mind if it were other body parts.

Jiang Yunying smiled coldly, "What my husband says is very true. Not to mention these hands, even the whole arm is at your disposal!"

"The whole arm?"

Lin Ping's heart couldn't take the blow and almost jumped out of his throat.

However, Lin Ping's smile quickly froze, even becoming somewhat distorted, as if he were about to burst into a heart-wrenching cry.
