Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 241: Auntie Has a Little Secret to Tell You!
Although Chen Xiaobei felt quite refreshed, he also understood that He Yongkun’s sudden change in attitude towards him was entirely because of Qin Shihua.
As for Zhong Wannian, it was simply a matter of going with the flow. Sacrificing a granddaughter-in-law to gain the favor of a Divine Doctor is a deal that’s guaranteed to be profitable.
That’s why Chen Xiaobei has always been particularly rational. Outsiders will always be outsiders; only when you strengthen yourself to the point where even a giant family like the Qin Family has to bow before you, do you truly possess power.
So, the most pressing thing right now is to quickly find Xiao Hua and see how this rogue cat is doing.
And then there’s the Tricolor Lingyin Grass, which Aunt is counting on to soak in a medicinal bath.
Even while injured, she can currently unleash power equivalent to the Third or Fourth Grade of the Heavenly Rank. If she’s healed, wouldn’t Jiang Hongchun be invincible in the Lower Three Continents?
By that time, even if I’m not strong enough, no one would dare mess with Chen Xiaobei, right?
With Aunt by my side, who dares challenge me?!
At this moment, He Yongkun suggested, "Doctor Chen, Xiaoxuan has been missing you a lot lately. I plan to buy some groceries soon. Why don’t you come over for a meal at our house? It’ll be a good opportunity to strengthen you young folks’ relationship."
"Whether you two get together, I won’t intervene. It’s just that Xiaoxuan can gain another friend!"
Zhong Wannian chimed in, "Old He, I remember you have a bottle of 30-year-old Jian Nan Chun at home, right? Last time I visited, you refused to open it for me. But this time, for Doctor Chen’s sake, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"Of course, that’s no problem!"
He Yongkun was laughing heartily.
And Chen Xiaobei was laughing heartily too!
Enhance the relationship with your daughter? I’ve already turned He Zixuan upside down before, you know?
If I counted on you, the cucumber would have long gone cold.
But Chen Xiaobei had important matters to attend to, so he promptly declined,
"Magistrate He, and Elder Zhong, I’m really sorry. I have some urgent matters and need to head into the mountains. Let’s meet up when I return. I apologize to both of you for now!"
"Doctor Chen, you’re too gracious!"
The two quickly returned the courtesy, saying in unison, "If you have business, attend to it first. You can’t delay important matters."
After bidding farewell to these two jesters, Chen Xiaobei drove back to Luo Qingcheng’s villa.
His return was not to see Qin Shihua but primarily to seek Murong Xiaoyi’s assistance.
Although Hu Niu doesn’t get along with Chen Xiaobei, her realm has soared to the Third Grade of the Heavenly Rank since emerging from the Red Blood Demon Cocoon.
With her help, the task would be half the work with twice the effect.
Moreover, Murong Xiaoyi is almost becoming Little Xiyao; she’s looking incredibly captivating and alluring.
Chen Xiaobei plans to take this opportunity to further improve their relationship. Developing a bond is essential; otherwise, coercion isn’t fun.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the living room of the villa, Chen Xiaobei saw Jiang Hongchun alone sitting on the sofa watching TV, with everyone else nowhere to be seen.
"Aunt, where are Qingcheng and the others?"
Chen Xiaobei couldn’t help but ask.
Jiang Hongchun replied, "Well, the young lady from the Qin Family is very interested in your First Love Nourishing Frost and asked Qingcheng and Xiaoyi to take her back to Shanhe Village."
I didn’t follow them back because I don’t want to stay with the Qin Family; it’s simply more peaceful here.
Chen Xiaobei plopped down beside her, curious,
"By the way, Aunt, you’ve mentioned feeling uneasy about the Qin Family before. What’s really going on?"
"It’s not really a secret."
Jiang Hongchun sighed,
"Years ago, when I carried you through troubled times, we passed by the Luyang Qin Family. I begged the Qin Family Patriarch to offer us refuge for a while, but he not only refused to help me, joined hands with the enemies in pursuing me. Thankfully, a maid from the Qin Family warned me; otherwise, we would have died long ago."
"So Little Bei!"
Jiang Hongchun’s expression turned serious, holding Chen Xiaobei’s hand,
"The Luyang Qin Family is a profit-driven family. They never care if a matter is righteous or evil; they only care about what benefits them."
The Patriarch’s like that, and Qin Shihua is no different. You must not lower your guard just because she looks attractive. If you affect her interests, she will surely strike you mercilessly!"
Seeing the concern in Aunt’s eyes, Chen Xiaobei nodded seriously, "Aunt, I understand!"
"It’s good that you understand."
Jiang Hongchun showed a comforting smile, asking, "By the way, Little Bei, what made you think of coming here? You’re not missing Qingcheng, are you?"
"That girl is indeed nice. You better make your move soon!"
"Uh—"
Chen Xiaobei showed an embarrassed face, saying, "Aunt, you misunderstood. I came mainly to find Xiaoyi because—"
As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei explained the situation.
To his surprise, Jiang Hongchun’s eyes suddenly lit up brightly, saying,
"Little Bei, why not let Aunt accompany you? My prowess has already recovered nearly as much as Xiaoyi’s, plus I have more Martial World experience. Aunt has hunted many Spirit Beasts before; with her help, it’s definitely better than relying on that untrustworthy dummy Xiaoyi!"
Jiang Hongchun looked incredibly excited at the moment, almost like a child released after a long confinement.
But Chen Xiaobei scratched his head, feeling concerned, "Aunt, I don’t mind you tagging along, but are your injuries really okay?"
"They’re fine!"
Jiang Hongchun shook her head and marveled, "Oh, talking about injuries, it reminds me. You said you needed to give me acupuncture three times to completely fix my blood-coughing issue. But you’ve only done it once; are you regarding me seriously?"
The expression revealed a mix of grievance and cuteness, melting Chen Xiaobei’s heart.
It’s a pity she’s his aunt, even if not biologically related, she’s still Aunt!
Chen Xiaobei’s heart ached. It’s life-and-death trouble.
"Aunt, I’m sorry. I’ve been too busy recently and forgot about giving you acupuncture treatment."
Chen Xiaobei apologized with a guilty face.
"You silly! Aunt doesn’t blame you!"
Jiang Hongchun patted Chen Xiaobei’s head, "Since that’s the case, let’s take this chance for the second needle. Aunt will share a little secret with you: every time you give her acupuncture, her strength recovers significantly. It’s estimated after this session, I’ll climb to the Grandmaster Realm!"
"What? Grandmaster?"
Chen Xiaobei’s tongue almost fell out in shock.
Li Guangding previously said that Black Fur Earth Dragon Tiger’s roar couldn’t be withstood by anyone below Grandmaster.
If Jiang Hongchun could indeed recover to Grandmaster status, then what’s there to fear? It will be quick to slaughter and eat it.
Thinking this, Chen Xiaobei’s curiosity peaked, asking,
"Aunt, before your injury, what realm were you?"
Jiang Hongchun’s expression suddenly turned proud, saying, "Little Bei, Aunt can only tell you one thing. As long as you can completely cure Aunt’s ailment, beneath the Heavenly Sect, I am invincible!"
