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

"Aunt Yunying is a stubborn person. If she wants to take Yunying away, no one can stop her. However, since you have already consummated your marriage with Yunying, you are likely pregnant. As Yunying's belly grows bigger every day, she will be too ashamed to marry Yunying to her senior brother's son. So, we don't need to rush. In four or five months at most, Yunying will be back safe and sound." The city lord's wife smiled slightly and explained clearly to Lin Ping.

Jiang Yunying has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a very good physique. She can usually get pregnant after just one sexual encounter. Even if Jiang Lanfeng is ruthless, he cannot abort the fetus in her womb. At that time, the marriage she made with her senior brother will definitely be invalid.

From this perspective, the city lord went to great lengths to ensure that he and Jiang Yunying could be together forever.

However, did the two actually consummate their marriage?

Or, to put it another way, what is the definition of consummating marriage?

Does sharing a bed equate to consummating marriage?

"But my wife had her period those few days..." Lin Ping said with a hint of embarrassment, feeling somewhat awkward saying this to his mother-in-law.

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing to hide, since this matter concerns his marriage with Jiang Yunying, and he can't be careless.

The cooked duck is already in his mouth; if it can fly away, who can Lin Ping complain to?

"How could I have forgotten about this!" The city lord's wife was filled with regret, naturally aware of Jiang Yunying's menstrual cycle.

Although this was still a feudal society, people already knew that holding hands wouldn't result in pregnancy, and if someone did get pregnant, it was most likely because they had been cheated on.

In this way, Jiang Yunying had no chance of getting pregnant, and being a virgin, she was naturally a good match for Jiang Lanfeng's son.

"How about this, you secretly consummate your marriage with Aunt Yunying while she's sleeping," the city lord's wife suddenly suggested.

This mother-in-law is unbelievable! She doesn't want a house, a car, or even a dowry of three or five hundred thousand yuan. All she wants is for her son-in-law and daughter to consummate their marriage, and she even used the word "secretly." Lin Ping's blood was boiling; this seemed even more exciting than a normal consummation of marriage!

There's a saying: "Ordered to steal a bite..."

Lin Ping knew that the city lord's wife was thinking of him, but he still felt a little strange.

Do I need to be secretive about consummating my marriage with my own wife? It's as if it's something shameful.

The purpose of this sexual intercourse is obvious. Lin Ping is about to retort, "Please have some common sense, okay? Sexual intercourse doesn't guarantee pregnancy. A woman ovulates about two weeks after the start of her period. This is a safe period, so even if we have sex, she can't get pregnant."

Moreover, Jiang Lanfeng is highly skilled in martial arts and has keen senses. Even in his sleep, he can hear Lin Ping's heavy footsteps and perhaps even their whispered conversations.

If he wakes the other party up, it won't be as simple as breaking his third leg. Jiang Lanfeng has long disliked Lin Ping, and with a swift stroke, he'll lose his life.

So, Lin Ping replied with a gloomy, donkey-like face, "Can we go now?"

Even if they can't get pregnant, as long as they can be together as a couple!

If the two of them are of one mind, their strength can break even metal, and they might actually be able to... move the other party.

“It’s no use. My elder sister couldn’t possibly be asleep when she’s paying respects to our father,” the city lord said, shaking his head. He was naturally aware of some special circumstances.

If Lin Ping were to force his way in, he would probably be pierced through the chest by the flying Star Chaser Sword before he even saw Jiang Yunying.

There were too many reasons why the other party wanted to kill him, such as disturbing the old city lord's rest, plotting against Jiang Yunying, or, "I just want to kill you, so what? Come and fight me if you dare."

Lin Ping was utterly exasperated. If I could beat you, would I care about these excuses? I'd just slap you across the face, not caring about your precious face.

Lin Ping never acts rashly. If he can get a good time, he might take a risk, but he's afraid he'll die on the way to get that good time.

Regardless, the city lord and his wife are still on his side. Lin Ping can't be ungrateful. Even if he can't get Jiang Yunying, he can't turn against the city lord's mansion.

"I'll take my leave." Lin Ping said nothing more and turned to leave.

He knew that even the city lord's wife couldn't come up with a practical solution unless she mobilized thousands of private troops and went head-to-head with Jiang Lanfeng.

However, Jiang Lanfeng is a member of the City Lord's Mansion, while Lin Ping is just an outsider. Why would the City Lord risk harming his elder sister for his own sake?

Therefore, unnecessary explanations are not helpful in pinpointing the problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Ping felt a pang of sadness. In recent days, he had devoted himself to the City Lord's Mansion and made countless contributions, yet he was still regarded as an outsider.

Lin Ping felt an urge to leave and never want to ask about anything related to the City Lord's Mansion again.

He's a man who acts on impulse and passion. He'll spare no effort to help the city lord's mansion only when his wife is around. Without his wife, well, sorry, goodbye.

But his deep affection for Jiang Yunying was something he hadn't expected. If Jiang Yunying were to ask him to help the City Lord's Mansion before she left, Lin Ping really didn't know if he could refuse.

He is a man of his word; once he makes a promise, he will do everything in his power to keep it.

For a moment, Lin Ping felt an urge to become stronger, so that he could protect those around him and keep what he wanted.

"Ouch!" Lin Ping slammed his fist on the table, but it only produced a dull thud, followed by excruciating pain. The wooden table showed no signs of cracking.

"Damn it, damn it!" Lin Ping frantically swung his fists, ignoring the scabbed skin and the slowly flowing blood.

He hated his own incompetence, unable to even subdue this small table. What use was his exceptional intelligence if he still had to rely on Jiang Yunying's superior martial arts and the support of the city lord's mansion's tens of thousands of private soldiers?

Now, Jiang Yunying is no match for the other party, and the city lord's private army is not under his command. He can only watch helplessly as his beloved wife is taken away with no return date in sight.

Or perhaps she returned already a married woman.

This kind of helpless separation in life is more painful than separation by death.

Lin Ping really wanted to pull out a Desert Eagle and shoot the other guy dead, but he didn't have the technology to manufacture Desert Eagles, since the steel industry in the entire Daye Dynasty hadn't developed to that point yet.

With just this crossbow, he couldn't achieve any pinpoint accuracy. Even with precise prediction, he couldn't possibly kill a true master.

"Lin Ping, you're a piece of trash!" A voice that resounded throughout the heavens and earth came from Lin Ping's room, truly reaching everyone's ears.

If they didn't know that Lin Ping's opponent was Jiang Lanfeng, many of the servants and maids would have thought that the other party was going to be in big trouble, since most of the son-in-law's enemies were already dead.

"Just because you feel guilty, my husband is going to give up the opportunity to make the City Lord's Mansion shine?" The City Lord's wife glared at the City Lord and stormed out of the hall. Naturally, she wouldn't give him a good look anytime soon.

The city lord's wife knew Lin Ping's abilities and his impulsive and vengeful nature. Once Jiang Yunying left, the city lord's mansion would most likely lose this talented person.

Inside the ancestral hall, Jiang Lanfeng and Jiang Yunying knelt quietly before the spirit tablet, but Lin Ping's heart-wrenching roar made Jiang Yunying uneasy.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Lanfeng asked calmly. She could tell what was going on from Jiang Yunying's rapid breathing.

"I need to say goodbye to my husband," Jiang Yunying said softly, not daring to look up at Jiang Lanfeng.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Jiang Lanfeng retorted immediately, fully aware of Jiang Yunying's thoughts.

If you want to say goodbye, wait until tomorrow morning. It's so late at night, what if you two do something improper?

Jiang Yunying lowered her head and remained silent, still worried about Lin Ping. She knew how much trauma her departure would cause him.

"Yunying, are you blaming your aunt?" Jiang Lanfeng was unusually calm, even somewhat kind.

"Is that even a question? If I weren't weaker than you, would I let you take me away?" Jiang Yunying thought to herself, but said something completely different: "Yunying wouldn't dare."

The word "dare not" is used aptly, expressing both one's attitude and respect.

Even without asking, Jiang Lanfeng knew what Jiang Yunying was thinking. She knew this niece too well. This was definitely the first time she had ever worried about a man so much, which clearly showed that it was true love.

“Aunt knows this boy is good, and he has made many contributions to the City Lord’s Mansion. Now that the City Lord’s Mansion has been cleared of all internal and external troubles, his existence is meaningless. Only your senior brother’s son is the most suitable for you. In the future, the two of you will cultivate together and be an enviable couple.” Jiang Lanfeng said softly, not wanting Jiang Yunying to always have Lin Ping in her heart.

"Dual cultivation? I'm afraid Auntie just wants to see Senior Brother..." Jiang Yunying thought to herself, but dared not say it out loud.

“But my husband can lead the city lord’s mansion to a higher level.” Jiang Yunying argued. She knew Lin Ping’s abilities all too well. In just over a month, he not only cleared away the obstacles in Jiangcheng mansion and seized the positions of Yancheng and Duduwei, but also made the mountain city lord’s mansion obey his orders.

Even that guest advisor from a hundred years ago probably didn't have this ability.

Therefore, Jiang Yunying believed that within a few years, Lin Ping would definitely be able to elevate the City Lord's Mansion to a higher level, and even become the ruler of this Wu Kingdom.

“My father once said that the greatest meaning of existence is not to compete,” Jiang Lanfeng continued in response.

When the old city lord was alive, he did indeed express some uncontroversial ideas that influenced not only the Jiang brothers, but also her, as the eldest sister.

"That's not what Grandpa meant!"

Not long ago, Jiang Xiuwu and Jiang Xiuwen discussed this matter and finally understood the old city lord's true intentions.

The policy of not fighting was based on the premise that the City Lord's Mansion was in decline. But now, the City Lord's Mansion is strong and wealthy, so how could it be content with being confined to one corner?

"Shut up! At such a young age, how dare you presume to know what your elders mean?" Jiang Lanfeng roared in anger, sounding quite exasperated.

I can't win an argument with you, but I can always beat you in seniority, and I can always beat you in a fight.

I'm your aunt, and you're my niece, so you have to listen to me.

Jiang Yunying said no more, fearing that Jiang Lanfeng might kill Lin Ping in a fit of anger. In any case, once she killed him, Jiang Yunying would have no more worries.

Even though Jiang Lanfeng forbade it, Jiang Yunying still found a piece of Xuan paper and wrote lines of delicate characters on it, as if it were a farewell letter to Lin Ping.

The next morning, when Jiang Lanfeng pushed open the ancestral hall door, she found a gloomy face standing outside. Who else could it be but Lin Ping?

Judging from his panda eyes, Lin Ping hadn't slept all night. He was afraid that Jiang Lanfeng would leave with Jiang Yunying ahead of time, so he stayed here all night.

"Give me back my wife!" Lin Ping shouted hoarsely, suddenly pulling out two crossbows and firing them continuously at Jiang Lanfeng.

In his eyes, Jiang Lanfeng was not a relative, but an enemy, and the only way to deal with an enemy was to kill him as soon as possible.

Of course, Lin Ping knew he was no match for his opponent, but even so, he couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Yunying be taken away.

How could a love that began so passionately end quietly?

"Hmph, courting death." Facing the rapidly roaring crossbow bolts, Jiang Lanfeng remained calm and composed. With her jade-like feet touching the ground, she moved slowly and gracefully, like flowing water, to Lin Ping's side. Her sharp jade fingers gripped Lin Ping's neck tightly.

Jiang Lanfeng didn't want to see bloodshed in front of the City Lord's ancestral hall, but that didn't mean he couldn't strangle Lin Ping. His seemingly slender fingers contained terrifying strength, instantly turning Lin Ping's face purple and making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Kill me, or let me kill you!" Lin Ping's eyes were sharp, even emitting X-rays.

He wished the X-ray could make people dizzy immediately, but unfortunately he didn't have enough energy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to keep an eye on Lian Ping for several days.

“Kill you? Easier than crushing an ant!” Jiang Lanfeng said coldly, increasing the pressure on his hand once again.

In his pain, Lin Ping coughed incessantly, and even his pupils gradually dilated.

"Auntie, no!" Jiang Yunying shouted, almost pulling out a dagger to threaten her.

"Hmph, with your meager strength, do you even deserve Yun Ying?" Jiang Lanfeng grabbed Lin Ping by the neck and forcefully threw him to the ground, leaving him looking utterly pathetic.

"Don't even think about leaving." Lin Ping, who was lying on the ground, writhed and clung tightly to Jiang Lanfeng's legs with both arms, like a leech, completely disregarding his manly spirit.

"Get lost!" Jiang Lanfeng kicked Chen away. If he hadn't known that Jiang Yunying was stubborn and might actually commit suicide with him, he would never have shown any mercy.

"This good-for-nothing doesn't deserve your affection." Jiang Lanfeng grabbed Jiang Yunying's arm and tried to leave.

Jiang Yunying really wanted to slap Jiang Lanfeng across the face. As an elder, you can influence my marriage, but you can't insult my husband.

"My husband is not a good-for-nothing, but a true man!" Jiang Yunying finally mustered up the courage to refute, determined to make her stance clear even if she couldn't change the outcome.

Even if she leaves, she must make sure Lin Ping understands what she's thinking; she can't let him down.

"Where's my cheat system? Where's my system? I'm willing to endure excruciating pain every day as the price! Let me merge with the system now!" Lin Ping cried out in anguish.

He once thought that the function of his left and right eyes was the best gift God had given him, but now he thinks they are two useless functions and he would rather activate the paid system.

At this moment, Lin Ping's heart was as still as water, his mind was calmer than ever before, and even his soaring anger was subdued.

This state of selflessness is exceptionally wondrous.

Suddenly, a pure white space appeared in Lin Ping's mind. It didn't look big, and it seemed to have no end. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed in this pure white space.
