Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xu Wenzhao had died. He died a terrible death.
He was beaten until his intestines ca out.
“Lang’er, you have done us a huge service,” said the Earl, “not only did you help us get more than 10,000 gold coins back, you managed to expose Xu Wenzhao. What reward do you want?”
The Earl was not feeling great but talked to Shen Lang nicely.
“I want my wife,” thought Shen Lang, “Sir, please give a command for her to obey . If not, you can send a few strong females to tie Mulan down and allow to have a night with her.”
Of course, he only dared to think about it.
If he had said it out, he would die.
“This is all I ought to do, how would I dare to ask for reward?” said Shen Lang.
The Earl said, “I will hand over the entire accountant’s room to you, from today on, you shall take over the accounts for the Palace of the Earl, how about that?”
“No...” Shen Lang was quick to reject.
“I ca over to the Palace of the Earl to be a freeloader and to enjoy wealth. You should give this duty to others.”
“Moreover, people who did Mathematics usually stay up late and work overnight. Not only did they age quickly, but often die from sudden cardiac death.”
“For a pretty boy like , how would I possibly do a job that is so tiring?” 1
“I think Old Mister Lin is extrely loyal and upright, moreover, he is an expert in Mathematics as well. I think he is the best candidate for managing the accountant’s room,” said Shen Lang, “I can teach the accountants about how to do the accounts, to ensure that all the accounts are clear. Not only will this yield better results with less work involved, this will also prevent people from embezzling funds.”
The Earl was speechless.
Xu Wenzhao was still ntioning how Shen Lang was ambitious. Looking at him, he definitely did not want to work at all!
His lazy behavior made people angry.
For so reason, the Earl liked his son-in-law a lot but kept feeling like beating him up.
Of course, for his son Jin Mucong, he disliked him and wanted to beat him up. There was a fundantal difference between the two.
“I have to award you for this, what do you want?” asked the Earl.
After thinking about it, Shen Lang really could not think of anything.
He... could only think of his wife.
However, his father-in-law could not ddle in that. It depended on his own capability.
Of course, it was alright if he could not get his wife. He was fine with Xiao Bing to begin with.
Shen Lang had decided that after this incident subsided, he would stop being a virgin.
However, Shen Lang thought about what he wanted very quickly.
“Father-in-law, if you really want to award , then unground .”
His father-in-law said with caution, “What do you want to do again?”
Shen Lang said, “Nothing, I want to return ho to visit my parents. I keep dreaming of them. I wonder if my father’s cough is getting better, if my brother’s fractured bones are healing, if my mother is still sewing at night. Whenever I think about these, I feel worried.”
The Earl was extrely touched when he heard Shen Lang’s emotional voice.
However, he quickly rebutted, “Shen Lang, you just went back four days ago.”
Shen Lang said awkwardly, “Oh, is that so? I almost forgot. Too many things had taken place these few days, it felt as though a long ti had passed.”
The Earl said, “You feel like ti passes very slowly in the Palace of the Earl?”
“No, no...” Shen Lang said, “Father-in-law, you are extrely forgiving and mother-in-law is loving. Your son is also... Anyway, I feel like I am extrely blessed and am happy living here.”
The Earl said, “Since you are happy, you shall stay put in the palace and don’t go out to stir trouble.”
“Ah?!”
“Did I overdo the sucking up earlier on?”
The Earl said, “Xu Wenzhao’s son, Tian Heng, and the City Lord, hate you to the core. It is extrely dangerous for you to leave the Palace of the Earl, I cannot allow that to happen.”
Shen Lang said, “But Sir, you promised to award .”
The Earl said, “You have done us a huge service, I will award your father with 300 mus of land. That’s the final say. Stop talking about ungrounding yourself.”
After that, the Earl left.
Shen Lang was left behind mumbling to himself.
“I, I don’t want 300 mus of land, I... I just want freedom.”

Jin Mulan had returned!
She was out for two entire days. She led the cavalry to patrol the entire territory and evicted dozens of illegal intruders.
When she was bathing, Xiao Bing enthusiastically told her everything that had happened that day.
“Young master is really amazing, he managed to defeat Xu Wenzhao overnight.”
“Now, everyone is afraid of the young master. Xu Wenzhao rely reprimanded young master in class and was killed by him.”
“Moreover, young master has done the Palace of the Earl a huge service and got back more than 10,000 gold coins!”
Mulan’s face was blushing and her eyes glowed.
She initially thought that she had married a moron with low IQ but admitted to her fate for her family’s sake.
But nobody would want her husband to be a moron.
However, she did not expect to find out that her husband was actually so intelligent and impressive.
Moreover, he was amusing.
Most importantly, he was extrely handso. The more she looked, the more handso he got.
Mulan felt a wave of emotions.
Xiao Bing said, “Now, everyone in the palace is wondering how master will be rewarding the young master.”
At this mont, Mulan suddenly frowned and said, “Xiao Bing, from now on, don’t talk about how young master killed Xu Wenzhao, or what he has done for us.”
Xiao Bing was shocked. “Why?”
Mulan said, “Xu Wenzhao died because he deserved it. He was not killed by young master. That will make young master seem extrely vengeful and selfish. Everyone will think that he is scary and unapproachable.”
“Oh,” said Xiao Bing, “then why can’t we talk about the things he has done for us?”
“Young master is my husband, the Palace of the Earl is his family. Since when do we talk about our own family mbers doing our family a great service?” said Mulan, “it will sound as though we are not treating him as our own family, he will be unhappy too.”
“Ah...” said Xiao Bing, “Miss, you think so much, but they seem to make sense.”
