After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"...I'll give you a big head!"

Ye Bai was dumbfounded, forgetting to chew the food he had just put in his mouth, and felt terrible.

He never imagined that he would be dragged into this matter in the end.

The worst part is that Shen Lu, that brainless idiot, not only lies, but she also made up some ridiculous gift story.

Qin Wanqing, however, feigned interest, which only fueled Ye Bai's interest.

At that moment, he finally understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma.

"Sister, Shen Lu is right. Ye Bai said he wants to give you an extremely rare gift, the kind that's one of a kind in the world!"

"Only in this way can I be worthy of a beauty like you, whose looks are unparalleled!"

Qin Shuang chuckled strangely from the side and began to do what she did best: distort the truth and talk nonsense.

A classic case of someone who loves a good show and enjoys making things worse.

Of course, she did it on purpose.

Ever since she met Ye Bai, Qin Shuang has been constantly bullied by him.

Unfortunately, the adopted son of the Ye family is now not only her brother-in-law, but also someone who saved her life.

This made it difficult for Qin Shuang to retaliate, so she could only take advantage of this opportunity to try and make him suffer.

"You two..."

Ye Bai also felt an urge to look up and rub his forehead, finally understanding the feeling that Qin Wanqing always felt mentally exhausted.

Neither of these two girls is easy to deal with.

"What? You don't want to deliver it? Then forget it."

Seeing Ye Bai stammering and remaining silent for a long time, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes flashed with displeasure, and her face began to turn cold.

The number of men in the entire Jingzhou who wanted to give her gifts was so numerous that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were like fish crossing a river.

If she accepts a gift, she will instantly become the envy of others and can brag about it for a very long time!

But now, she was in a rare good mood and gave Ye Bai such an opportunity, but he was still unwilling, which was really annoying.

It was only because she and Ye Bai were already married that she felt it wouldn't hurt to accept a gift.

She wouldn't even glance at anyone else.

"That gift will take a few more days to make, I'll give you a surprise then."

Seeing that Queen Qin was clearly unhappy, Ye Bai had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

This is his only major client; he can't afford to offend anyone else.

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

The frost on Queen Qin's pretty face slowly faded, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"...She's just a tsundere who likes to force others to give her gifts!"

Ye Bai inwardly grumbled, but in the end, he could only channel his grief and anger into his appetite, eating even more than usual.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, Ye Bai was preparing to brew medicine for Old Madam Qin when Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang suddenly arrived.

"That's my own mother, her health is more important than anything else!"

“We don’t trust someone like you, who doesn’t even have a medical license, to treat our illnesses.”

"So from today onwards, we'll stay here and keep an eye on you, lest you secretly tamper with the old lady's treatment and ruin her health!"

Qin Yuezhu gave her reasons with a cold smile, putting on the airs of a dutiful daughter.

Zhao Jianqiang then leaned close to Ye Bai's ear and whispered through gritted teeth, "To put it bluntly, the Qin family doesn't trust you! If I were you, I would have left the Qin family long ago."

After Ye Bai exposed his secret affair with a mistress and Qin Yuezhu beat him up, Zhao Jianqiang hated Ye Bai's adopted son to the core.

"Third Uncle, you're such a good person! It's no wonder we're both sons-in-law!"

"Don't worry, I will never tell Auntie how many little vixens you're keeping outside."

Ye Bai nodded earnestly, his face full of gratitude.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Jianqiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could deny it, Qin Yuezhu's expression changed drastically. She grabbed his ear and dragged him outside while cursing him.

"You bastard surnamed Zhao, you're keeping more than one mistress on the side! I think you don't want to live a peaceful life anymore!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm divorcing you!!"

In her rage, Qin Yuezhu struck with extreme force. Ye Bai could even clearly see that Zhao Jianqiang's ear had been torn open, and blood was flowing out continuously...

"Oh, poor Third Uncle, why did he have to do this?"

Ye Bai sighed softly, his expression one of deep compassion.

"..."

Seeing the culprit still expressing deep sympathy for Zhao Jianqiang's plight, Qin Wanqing was utterly speechless.

This guy seems to be the nemesis of the Qin family. Whenever the two sides meet, it will definitely end in chaos.

However, this was Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang's own fault, and Qin Wanqing certainly wouldn't have the slightest sympathy for them.

Instead, she frowned slightly and said softly, "I think those two must have had another purpose in coming here..."

Whether these elders of the Qin family were filial or not, she, who had always been by the side of Old Madam Qin, knew better than anyone else.

Everyone is eager to show their filial piety, but while there are certainly a few who are truly filial, they are definitely not the only ones.

"They're here to cause trouble."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded, but didn't seem to care at all.

"...Fine, I guess I was worrying for you for no reason!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and snorted irritably.

She couldn't stand Ye Bai's confident, self-assured demeanor; it disgusted her.

"They really have the face of a dog, they can turn on you in an instant."

Ye Bai muttered something under his breath.

What dog did you say?

Qin Wanqing didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.

Ye Bai quickly said, "I mean, the puppy is quite cute, would you like to keep it? I'll give you one."

Qin Wanqing said with a half-smile, "You surnamed Ye, do you think I'm as brainless and easy to fool as Lulu? You want to give me a gift, and in the end you're just going to give me a dog as a token of your appreciation?"

As she continued speaking, a murderous glint began to flash in Queen Qin's beautiful eyes.

"How could that be? You're overthinking it..."

Ye Bai shrank back, feeling somewhat guilty, and quickly shook his head in denial.

In fact, he really did have this plan.

Buying a puppy for Qin Wanqing is much easier than other gifts.

But while I may think about it, there's absolutely no way I'd admit it.

He had just incurred a debt and was hoping to swindle the Queen of Qin to pay it off.

"Haha, it's best this way."

Qin Wanqing sneered, feeling even more that this adopted son of the Ye family was very dishonest.

I don't know where Grandma got that "honest and simple" assessment from.

"Young master, I was wrong..."

After Qin Wanqing left, Shen Lu walked over with her head drooping and said pitifully.

Although she claimed to be clueless, she realized that the excuse she made up at the time had probably caused her son-in-law a lot of trouble.

Giving gifts to young ladies is no easy task, especially since she knows better than anyone how poor Ye Bai is.

I gave her 10,000 of the 180,000 yuan I had painstakingly earned from the prostitute over this period.

Of the remaining 170,000, 150,000 was spent on gifts for the second wife, Chen Jingmei.

The last 20,000 yuan has become a deposit for medicinal herbs today...

"You know you're wrong, why don't you hurry up and help me start a fire?"

Ye Bai rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile.
