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

"Waaah... Let me out." In the woodshed of the Zhou residence, Zhou Xiyin was bound hand and foot, with a rag stuffed in her mouth. Even with all her strength, she couldn't make a sound.

Hearing the lively sounds inside the courtyard, she was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

This was supposed to be her and Lin Ping's wedding day, and she was looking forward to a joyful marriage. But instead, someone struck her on the head from behind, and when she woke up, she was lying in the woodshed, with no one to answer her cries for help.

She cursed that person a thousand times, ten thousand times in her heart, but she was still not satisfied. It was so unfair to bully people like that; breaking up someone's marriage was a despicable act.

Lin Ping, who was rushing to the bridal chamber, was completely unaware that he was mistakenly believing that the person he was marrying was Zhou Xiyin herself. He was so worried that he broke out in a cold sweat.

After his right eye regained full function, he discovered that the flower thief was plotting against the bride.

Lin Ping thought he was fully prepared, but he was still a step too late. He wished he could sprout wings and berate himself for underestimating his opponent.

Although the Imperial Guards had already made it clear that they would help him capture the womanizer tonight, the womanizer had not yet shown up.

Lin Ping didn't blame them, and he never thought of relying on others. If anything happened to Zhou Xiyin, he would take full responsibility.

"Stupid woman!" Lin Ping kicked open the door frantically, holding a crossbow in his hand and aiming it at the head of the bed, extremely worried.

"Ah!" A miserable scream suddenly came from inside the house.

Lin Ping's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was feeling sad and blaming himself, he suddenly realized something was wrong. It was definitely a man's voice.

Filled with doubt and anxiety, Lin Ping instantly stepped over the screen, only to be met with a strong smell of blood.

"Silly woman, are you alright?" Lin Ping asked anxiously. This was very likely Zhou Xiyin's blood. She resisted after realizing that the person who came was not Lin Ping, which ultimately angered the flower thief.

When he saw the situation inside the house, he was stunned. The flower thief, dressed in black, had his arm raised, his hand on the ground, and blood was gushing out like a fountain.

Standing opposite the flower thief were a pair of cold, beautiful eyes, but it was not Zhou Xiyin.

"Tomboy? How come it's you?" Lin Ping stared at Xia Linglong, who was clearly wearing a bright red wedding dress.

In other words, the person he married was not Zhou Xiyin, but Xia Linglong, which was beyond his plans.

Just as the flower thief was about to succeed, Xia Linglong's embroidered spring knife suddenly flashed and cut off his right hand.

"Ah..." The flower thief was still screaming in pain, staring at them with cannibalistic eyes, filled with hatred.

He was a member of the Nightshade Palace, a ruthless demon who killed without blinking an eye, yet he was tricked by two little brats.

Considering the relationship between Xia Linglong and Xia Yeran, Lin Ping wasn't surprised by her appearance. To ensure everything went smoothly, she had to take action herself. As for her other purposes, that was up to Lin Ping to decide.

Lin Ping didn't care who he was marrying; there was no future for them anyway, and they could just get a divorce the next day. What he cared about was Zhou Xiyin's safety.

"Where's Yinyin?" Lin Ping asked anxiously.

Xia Linglong felt a pang of sadness at the ambiguous address and subconsciously whispered, "I locked him in the woodshed."

"The woodshed?" Lin Ping felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had been cut by a knife, and an ominous premonition arose inexplicably.

He's the most handsome boy in the world, with an unparalleled sixth sense. Since he felt a cold wind blowing from behind, it meant something bad was about to happen.

Turning around, she glanced at the womanizer abruptly and whispered, "He's not a womanizer!"

"Hahaha! Hurry up and go see your little lady. She should have already been stripped naked by Pig Demon. Tsk tsk... Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!" The man in black laughed loudly, enduring the pain in his arm.

They were the Nightmare, a fearsome force, how could they fall so easily? They had already discovered that the bride had been switched. If the man in black hadn't been greedy and wanted to see who was marrying Lin Ping, he wouldn't have had his arm chopped off.

"Ah!" A scream came from the direction of the woodshed.

Lin Ping hurriedly took an X-ray, and it turned out that the flower thief had kidnapped Zhou Xiyin.

"Guards, arrest him!" Xia Linglong shouted. Six Imperial Guards immediately rushed into the room, including Fan Lengyu, an acquaintance of Lin Ping.

Clearly, Xia Linglong had already laid a trap here, so she wasn't afraid the flower thief would escape.

Unfortunately, she didn't realize that the person who broke in wasn't a flower thief, and she made a mistake.

She wanted to make amends, so she sent the Imperial Guards to tie up the man in black and then went after the real flower thief.

"No need!" Lin Ping's voice was like an ice cave that had never melted for a thousand years, making the whole room feel cold, and the murderous aura in his eyes was even more terrifying.

Xia Linglong unconsciously took a step back, glancing at Lin Ping with a horrified look.

"Is this still the same spoiled brat?" Xia Linglong wondered. His eyes were like those of a demon from hell, full of ferocity!

Before anyone could react, a muffled thud was heard, and then... a bloody hole appeared between the black-clad man's eyebrows, and his brains splattered out.

"They! They all have to die!" A sharp glint flashed in Lin Ping's eyes again, as if he wanted to kill everything.

Suddenly, Xia Linglong felt that this man was so cold and unapproachable, yet she also felt a warmth and a strong sense of security from him!

The reason he wanted to kill her was because he wanted to protect Zhou Xiyin. This shows that he was a person with flesh and blood. If he wasn't angry at all, he wouldn't deserve her respect.

The next second, Lin Ping strode out of the room, his eyes working in unison to pinpoint the flower thief's location.

"I'll go with you!" Xia Linglong followed closely behind, also wanting to make amends as soon as possible.

Zhou Xiyin's arrest was inextricably linked to her.

At the very least, she didn't send anyone to protect the woodshed, nor did she notify Lin Ping beforehand. If everything had gone smoothly, all would have been wonderful; unfortunately, it didn't.

"No need, Your Highness, this humble subject cannot accept such a gift!" Lin Ping said coldly, his voice so resolute and ruthless.

Even if he was stupid, he knew he had to find out Xia Yeran's true identity. He was shocked when he asked, and it turned out she was a prince!

So, Xia Linglong is the current princess, and Xia Linglong, whom she offended before, is the current crown prince. No wonder he has an innate sense of power and arrogance.

Xia Linglong stood there dumbfounded, not because Lin Ping was surprised to have guessed her identity, but because the cold address made her feel a little chilly.

She preferred Lin Ping to call her "tomboy," which was better than the aloof princess.

Lin Ping knew that Xia Linglong couldn't decide his identity, so he wasn't angry. He had originally intended to use this to give her a warning.

Now, he no longer had that feeling. He considered Xia Linglong as someone who had manipulated him and hadn't even spared the innocent Zhou Xiyin.
