Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law

Chapter 397 397: Don't Touch Chen Xiaobei

Xu Quanrong's face was full of disdain as he arrogantly said, "Even if there are thousands and thousands, I shall go forth? A mere commoner dares to play the hero? Let's see how you die!"

Meanwhile, in Qingyang City.

In front of the Murong family villa, there was a straight road that was usually bustling, but today it was cleared, and outsiders were not allowed in.

Murong Xiaoyi's expression was calm, without a hint of joy, as she simply said to Luo Qingcheng, "How is Chen Xiaobei doing?"

Luo Qingcheng, looking worried, whispered, "I haven't told him anything, with Xu Quanrong protecting him, he'll be fine."

Murong Xiaoyi nodded slightly, but her heart was conflicted. She was originally a lesbian, but was turned straight by Chen Xiaobei. Yet before they could truly be together, such an event occurred.

This afternoon, Murong Longcheng suddenly visited Shanhe Village, asking Murong Xiaoyi by name to marry Zhou Haoran from the Longyang Zhou family.

Of course, Murong Xiaoyi refused, but Murong Longcheng said Zhou Haoran was the only martial artist among the younger generation in the Lower Three Continents to have broken through to the Mysterious Sect.

If Murong Xiaoyi didn't agree to this marriage, it would anger the Zhou family, which would not only spell disaster for the Murong family but also implicate Chen Xiaobei, whom Murong Xiaoyi was fond of, along with Luo Qingcheng and others.

At that time, to avoid complications, Jiang Hongchun deliberately cut off the live broadcast signal, so Murong Xiaoyi didn't know that her master had already returned to the Mysterious Sect level.

For Chen Xiaobei, and also for her cousin, Murong Xiaoyi eventually compromised.

But just thinking about the fate she was about to face, Murong Xiaoyi's heart was truly in pain!

She really wanted to cry!

At this moment, Murong Longcheng, with his family, stood at the door and said sincerely, "Xiaoyi, the Zhou family has shown you great honor by sending three thousand martial soldiers to pick you up this time."

"Remember, for the sake of the family, and for Chen Xiaobei's safety, you must not mention Chen Xiaobei to the Zhou family, nor let them know about your relationship!"

Murong Xiaoyi nodded slightly, expressionless: "I understand."

Seeing this scene, Murong Longcheng sneered inwardly, but his face was full of regret,

"Grandfather knows you don't like this marriage, but there's no choice. I once thought Chen Xiaobei was a dragon among men, and if you were with him, maybe you could escape fate. But now, compared to the Zhou family, Chen Xiaobei is still far too lacking."

"If you continue to be entangled with him, it will only harm you and him. He still needs time to grow, but fate doesn't grant time, that's destiny."

"Grandfather, I understand."

Murong Xiaoyi nodded, but couldn't hide her disappointment.

"Here they come!"

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, and as everyone looked over, they were immediately awe-struck!

A convoy appeared at the end of the road, like a torrent of steel, bearing down!

The convoy neatly stopped in turn, and with a somber, lengthy horn, people began to disembark one by one!

They were all in military garb, exuding a murderous aura!

Every step they took fell like a drumbeat in people's hearts, forming thirty torrents on the wide road, arrayed in ranks, row by row, imposing and imposing!

At this moment, the Murong family's hearts were all shaken!

The law originally doesn't allow ordinary people to have so many private soldiers, but the Zhou family was specially permitted due to their great contributions, making the Zhou family prestigious in Longyang!

In wartime, these martial soldiers were the most elite close guards by the Zhou family's generals, in peacetime, they were almost like the Zhou family's private soldiers!

Each of them was above Grade Five Grandmaster!

A Grade Five Grandmaster in Qingyang would be as revered as a guest by wealthy families, but was just an ordinary member of the Zhou family's martial soldiers!

And these martial soldiers were just part of the whole!

But even just these three thousand martial soldiers were enough to sweep through Qingyang several times!

At this moment, the martial soldiers suddenly parted like a flood, and a middle-aged man in military uniform approached, his rank was a three-star general!

"Three-star General Zheng Haiyang, under orders of the Junior General, have brought three thousand martial soldiers to escort Murong Xiaoyi back to Longyang!"

His expression was solemn, and his powerful voice fell like an order!

"With General Zheng personally coming, my Murong family is truly honored!"

Murong Longcheng hurried to greet him. This Zheng Haiyang was a core confidant of the Zhou family, and also Zhou Haoran's deputy general; his personal arrival was enough to show Zhou Haoran's importance to this marriage!

However, Zheng Haiyang directly ignored the hand Murong Longcheng extended, his expression indifferent, causing Murong Longcheng to embarrassingly withdraw his hand and say, "Trouble you, General Zheng, I've already arranged a banquet to welcome the General."

But Zheng Haiyang seemed not to hear a word, merely taking out a pair of shackles, "Madam, please put these on yourself!"

Everyone was stunned.

"General Zheng, what is the meaning of this? Isn't my granddaughter going to be married?"

Murong Longcheng asked in shock.

"Before the marriage, Madam will have to follow me home and confess to my young master with a guilty conscience!"

Zheng Haiyang said coldly, "You think the Zhou family doesn't know about Murong Xiaoyi messing around with that Chen Xiaobei?"

Murong Longcheng hurriedly said, "Please, Young Master Zhou, don't listen to rumors! My granddaughter is absolutely innocent!"

However, with a slap, Zheng Haiyang struck him across the face!

Murong Longcheng was stunned, while the crowd exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Zheng Haiyang!

"Caught red-handed and still dare to quibble, deserved a beating!"

"My father is Zhou's future father-in-law, how dare you hit my father? I'll tell Young Master Zhou!" Murong Tian said angrily.

Before the words were out, Zheng Haiyang kicked him in the stomach, sending Murong Tian sprawling, spitting blood.

The crowd was incredibly shocked, unable to believe that Zheng Haiyang, who came for the marriage, would start with violence!

Zheng Haiyang scanned the crowd with disdain: "A bunch of Lower City commoners, really think you're worth anything in my young master's eyes? Take a good look at yourselves!"

"If it weren't for your daughter being able to dispel my family young master's evil energy, does she, a low and wanton woman, have any qualification to become my young master's woman!"

"What dispelling evil energy? What do you mean?"

Murong Xiaoyi shouted in shock and anger.

"You don't know? It's no surprise, how could those old folks tell you such things."

Zheng Haiyang raised an eyebrow but sneered, "Forget it, you're just a tool, why am I telling you so much, someone, please help Madam into the car."

A few Zhou family's martial soldiers nodded and quickly moved to drag Murong Xiaoyi into the car.

"Stop it!"

Murong Longcheng's eyes turned red, dragging Murong Xiaoyi behind him, he shouted angrily, "You don't really intend for my daughter to become a real Zhou family lady! This marriage is fishy! Speak! What's really going on!"

Actually, it was all an act; from beginning to end, this marriage was orchestrated by him and Prince Wándú, just showing like this to make Murong Xiaoyi accept it; otherwise, she wouldn't willingly go to the Zhou family.

"You really think you're the Junior General's future father-in-law, asking me to explain?"

Zheng Haiyang chuckled.

"Get lost! I'm canceling this marriage! My granddaughter is to marry, not to become some Zhou's tool!"

Murong Longcheng was trembling with rage. He knew that those big families in Longyang practiced many dark arts for healing injuries or dispelling evil energy.

But the price often left the recipient with a fate worse than death!

He didn't know what the Zhou family planned, but it surely wasn't anything good for his daughter!

With a bang, he was kicked by Zheng Haiyang, flying and landing with blood pouring from his mouth.

"Grandpa...are you okay?"

Murong Xiaoyi shrieked, quickly supporting Murong Longcheng.

"Xiaoyi, grandpa is sorry for you, I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage, you can't go to the Zhou family!"

Murong Longcheng coughed blood relentlessly, his face pale with guilt and urgency.

"A bunch of commoners, really a headache. Madam, don't try any suicide threats with me, if you don't want your family exterminated, you'd better get in the car obediently!"

"And if you don't want something to happen to Chen Xiaobei, you'd better come with me quietly, or who knows what will happen!"

Zheng Haiyang frowned impatiently.

Murong Xiaoyi was desperate, knowing that because she was useful to Zhou Haoran, they wouldn't dare harm her, she had thought of threatening her own life.

But now Zheng Haiyang was threatening her family!

Murong Xiaoyi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't touch Chen Xiaobei! I'll go!"
