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

After forcing himself to eat a messy breakfast, Ye Bai realized that petty women were truly not to be trifled with.

Fortunately, Queen Qin was kind enough; otherwise, instead of giving him a tonic, he might have been given a laxative or poison.

As the saying goes, a woman's position is not secure if she is not ruthless.

If you really provoke them, they're capable of anything.

Not to mention, this tigress is now his bread and butter, a true boss.

"Forget it, I'll try to be less angry next time..."

On his way to Jiang Kou'er's house, Ye Bai reflected on himself.

"Brother Ye, you're here! Did you bring me anything delicious?"

As soon as Ye Bai and Shen Lu entered the house, Shen Zhu rushed over excitedly.

This little girl truly lives up to her reputation as Shen Lu's younger sister; she's a genuine foodie as well.

"Your sister brought you some snacks, see if they suit your taste."

Ye Bai smiled and rubbed Shen Zhu's head, then let the two foodie sisters chat while he went inside to give Jiang Kou'er acupuncture.

Although she had already received treatment twice, Jiang Kou'er's expression remained somewhat blank, and she showed no reaction to Ye Bai's arrival.

On the one hand, this is because the treatment is not so quick; on the other hand, Ye Bai felt it should also be related to personality.

Jiang Nv'ai was going to work today, so after Ye Bai gave Jiang Kou'er acupuncture, he also prepared some medicine for her.

He even cooked lunch himself to satisfy Shen Zhu's craving for food.

This little girl is very loyal. Although she hasn't known Jiang Kou'er for long, she comes here almost every day to help take care of her.

Such good qualities deserve a reward.

"Brother Ye, if you're free later, could you come with me to Brother Guang's place?"

After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Zhu suddenly looked at Ye Bai shyly and said something.

Who is Brother Guang?

Ye Bai was taken aback. He vaguely felt that the title seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

"That's the loan shark you knocked out last time, Chen Daguang!"

Shen Zhu quickly reminded her.

"Oh, so it's that guy."

Ye Bai suddenly realized, finally remembering, but then asked with some confusion, "Did he bully you again?"

Shen Zhu shook her head and said, "No, no, he's very well-behaved now when he sees me. He keeps asking me about you, and it seems like he's afraid of you."

Ye Bai couldn't help but laugh. Back then, he had Ding Shuai take care of Chen Daguang.

Given Ding Shuai's personality and methods, it's not surprising that he could subdue a petty thug.

"Since he doesn't dare to mess with you anymore, why are you still looking for him? Wait... could it be that your dad went to borrow money from loan sharks again?"

Ye Bai's brows furrowed slowly, showing some displeasure.

For Shen Lu's sake, it's no big deal to help Shen Fugui.

But he couldn't keep helping this forgetful gambler forever.

"Shen Zhu, have you two no shame? Your son-in-law helped you last time, which was already quite generous of him. Do you still want to push your luck?"

Shen Lu also shouted angrily, feeling so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

She and Shen Fugui never had any feelings for each other; their relationship was purely based on blood ties.

"Shen Lu, don't meddle. This has nothing to do with Dad. I'm the one who wants to ask Brother Ye for help."

Shen Zhu glared angrily at Shen Lu, realizing that her older sister was really brainless.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet the Qin family, a good family. Otherwise, she would not only have to support a gambling father, but also a mentally challenged sister. She would probably be exhausted to death.

"So what do you want with Chen Daguang?"

Hearing that it wasn't about Shen Fugui, Ye Bai and Shen Lu were relieved and asked with some curiosity.

……

"Brother Ye, when you get to Brother Guang's place later, just watch my signals and do as I say. Only he can handle this..."

"And Shen Lu, you absolutely mustn't act rashly and start a fight. If you hit someone, this whole thing will be ruined..."

Walking through the alley, Shen Zhu kept reminding Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

"Don't worry! You've said it eight hundred times already, my son-in-law and I are practically sick of hearing it!"

Shen Lu rolled her eyes and snorted irritably.

She now suspects that Shen Zhu may have entered menopause prematurely, otherwise why would she be so indecisive?

"Shen Zhu, you said that Chen Daguang is doing very well in the Eighth District?"

Ye Bai ignored the two girls' bickering and looked at Shen Zhu with a smile, asking her a question.

"That's fantastic! Let's just say, in District 8, Brother Guang's name is a household name!"

"Hmm, neither of you are very bright. Let me give you a simple example. Isn't the leader of the Beggars' Sect powerful? In District 8, Brother Guang is like the leader of the Beggars' Sect!"

Shen Zhu said smugly.

"...What the hell is this Beggar Clan leader?!"

Ye Bai was speechless; he never expected to be looked down upon by this little girl.

It's all Lulu's fault; she's not very bright and dragged him down with her.

"...Why are you here again, you little brat? Didn't I already tell you that the shop has already been reserved for someone else? I can't just break the contract, can I?"

Not long after, Ye Bai and his group found Chen Daguang in a small teahouse.

Upon seeing Shen Zhu, Chen Daguang's expression darkened, and he wanted to reprimand her.

He had already found out what happened last time.

The reason why Ding Shuai, that ruthless man, stood up for Shen Zhu's family was because of Ye Bai, the son-in-law of the Qin family.

Shen Zhu has a twin sister who works as a maid in the Qin family.

However, she was sold off by that bastard Shen Fugui when she was young, so the father and daughter have long been like strangers.

This is the best I can do to help.

After all, the Qin family was a force to be reckoned with, completely different from Shen Fugui and his daughter.

Therefore, out of respect for the Qin family and Ding Shuai, Chen Daguang had already kept his distance from Shen Fugui's family and did not want to have any further involvement with them.

But Shen Zhu, that girl, doesn't know what's good for her. She's been pestering him lately, insisting on exchanging a shop on the street in the Eighth District.

Normally, Shen Zhu wouldn't mind if he wanted to exchange tickets, or even if he wasn't allowed to draw any.

Chen Daguang didn't care about those meager sums; he considered them a tribute to "Master Ding of the Ghost Market."

The key issue is that he had already sold the shop to someone else before Shen Zhu contacted him.

Not only did they sign a contract, but they also received a deposit.

In this situation, he certainly couldn't go back on his word.

Especially that guy at the exchange shop, although he looked very ordinary, Chen Daguang had a vague feeling that he was very dangerous.

If you anger it, something bad is likely to happen.

So he wanted Shen Zhu to choose another place, whether or not he would pay the rent.

Unexpectedly, this little girl was quite stubborn and set her sights on that shop, constantly bothering him, which completely exhausted Chen Daguang's patience.

It's true that he's afraid of Ding Shuai and the Qin family, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of Shen Fugui and his daughter.

Just as Chen Daguang was about to lose his temper and scare Shen Zhu, this ignorant little girl, to stop her from going on and on, the next second, he saw Ye Bai…
