Sun Ziqian was shocked.
But his father’s words were like enlightenment, and he immediately understood everything.
Sun Ziqian was a little excited. “Father, after passing the test, will Shan be able to marry the Chu family’s daughter?”
His son really liked Chu Li.
Sun Bocheng shook his head. “I don’t know, but after passing the test, there’s always a chance.”
Hearing his father’s words, Sun Ziqian sighed. It seemed that there was really nothing he could do now.

Su Xiaolu watched for a long time before leaving, like many commoners.
When Madam Lian came to ask for medicine, Su Xiaolu did not ask further and gave her the prescription.
Anyway, in a few days, they would eventually find out.
Madam Lian was worried and did not stay long. She took the prescription and returned home.

When Chu Jin returned home, he looked at Sun Baoshan, who was still standing still. He said angrily, “Are you really not going back?”
Sun Baoshan swallowed his dry throat before answering, “No, is General Chu willing to see me now?”
He had been here all day without food or water. His stomach was a little uncomfortable from hunger, and his throat was very dry, but he had no complaints. He only asked very normally.
Chu Jin snorted. “No.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Sun Baoshan stood quietly and waited.
Chu Jin went to inform Chu Leizhen and returned to his room.
Yuan Yuan had already returned to her room. Seeing Chu Jin return, she poured a cup of tea and sent it over for Chu Jin to drink.
Yuan Yuan did not participate in the Chu family’s matter today. She was a new wife who had just married not long ago and did not understand many things. It was not convenient for her to participate, so she simply avoided it.
Chu Jin drank the tea and was still very depressed. He looked at Yuan Yuan and said, “Xiaoyuan, do you think Nini’s eyes are bad? That Sun Baoshan is so weak. He’s not as good as Hu Changshou.”
Yuan Yuan smiled faintly and said, “How would I know if Hu Changshou is good or not?”
Chu Jin looked at Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan had a very good temperament. It was obvious that she was a well-mannered lady from a wealthy family.
Chu Jin hugged her and said with a smile, “Forget it. Let’s sleep.”
Yuan Yuan smiled shyly.
Chu Jin carried Yuan Yuan to the bed and pressed his body down to kiss her. He muttered, “If only women were like men and could take concubines. This way, the problem would be resolved.”
If women were the same as men, his sister wouldn’t have to be so troubled. Hu Changshou was good and she liked Sun Baoshan too, so she could just have them both.
Yuan Yuan: “…”
What kind of nonsense was that!!
Chu Jin dared to say anything. On the day of their marriage, before they even consummated their marriage, he had already said that he wanted to take concubines in the future. She was not allowed to stop him.
However, he also said that she was the only mistress of the family. All the children born by his concubines in the future would belong to her.
He also promised that no matter how much he liked concubines, he would not dote on them and neglect her. If the concubines were arrogant and disobedient, as the main wife, she could do whatever she wanted, be it beating, scolding, or selling them.
Yuan Yuan was really shocked at that time. She wondered why this person was like this.
She looked at him seriously and saw that he didn’t seem to be joking. It was their wedding night, so she couldn’t do anything. After Chu Jin finished speaking, they continued as if nothing had happened.
It’s not strange for him to say that now, Yuan Yuan thought.
She pretended not to hear him and let it pass.
She did not care about Chu Li’s matters, but she had a way to deal with Chu Jin’s matters. Chu Jin had said that he wanted to take concubines, but he had also said that he would only do it after she gave birth to the legitimate son, there was enough time for her to set things up.

As night fell, it was quiet all around. Even the insects were asleep.
It was just the beginning of the new year, so it was still a little cold.
Sun Baoshan had been standing for the entire day. He could not even feel his legs.
He felt a little cold. He tightened his cloak and continued to stand still like a tree.
Su Xiaolu watched from afar. She yawned. It was already after midnight.
Sun Baoshan did not have any martial arts skills, so he naturally could not sense it.
General Chu was watching him from the dark.
Su Xiaolu could feel the change in Chu Leizhen’s emotions.
When Chu Leizhen tested Sun Baoshan, none of the Sun family came over to bring Sun Baoshan back. Chu Leizhen was extremely conflicted. On one hand, he felt that Sun Baoshan was not bad, but on the other hand, he was very angry. This brat had actually written letters to his daughter for a few years! No, he could not let him off so easily!
Sun Baoshan did not know about the surveillance and test in the dark. He only stood quietly and let time pass bit by bit.
Su Xiaolu saw that Sun Baoshan was in a good state. She looked at the sky and returned quietly under the night sky.
That night, Sun Baoshan did not sleep the entire night.
Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen were the same.
In the latter half of the night, Madam Wen couldn’t help but worry when she saw Sun Baoshan sway. She asked softly, “Master, are we really going to ignore him?”
Chu Leizhen said angrily, “I don’t care. It hasn’t even been a day. If he can’t even stand for a day. How can he bear the weight of a family in the future? His body is too weak.”
If he couldn’t even endure this bit of hardship, it could be seen how weak his body was.
Madam Wen was helpless.
Fortunately, Sun Baoshan only swayed for a moment before stabilizing himself.
As the sky lit up bit by bit, many voices came from outside. The Chu Residence was facing the street, and there were many people shouting and hawking.
The servants of the Chu residence quickened their pace when they passed by.
When Chu Jin came over, he didn’t say anything and just snorted.
Chu Leizhen was eating breakfast distractedly. Seeing that Madam Wen did not move, he asked, “Madam, eat.”
Madam Wen sighed. “Master, it’s been a day.”
She couldn’t eat. She was a parent too. If her son was treated like this, her heart would ache.
Sun Baoshan was the only son in the Sun family. His body was not in good condition. Now that he was like this, the Sun couple’s hearts would probably ache.
Chu Leizhen remained silent with a cold expression.
He muttered indignantly, “Only a day.”
Madam Wen pretended not to hear him and comforted him patiently, “Master, Sun Baoshan is not as tough as our child. I saw him trembling in the morning. It’s only the beginning of the new year and the weather is still cold. Nini likes him. If his body is damaged, can you bear to let our Nini be with a sickly person?”
Chu Leizhen was angry. “I don’t like him because he’s sick. If he’s really sick, I won’t marry my daughter to him.”
Madam Wen stopped him. “He’s a scholar to begin with. His body isn’t as strong as a martial arts practitioner’s. He was originally fine. What if he falls ill because of this?”
“Even if you don’t think about him, you have to think about our daughter.”
Madam Wen looked at Chu Leizhen with red eyes and cried, “Sun Baoshan stood there for a day yesterday without eating or drinking. Our Nini also didn’t eat or drink for a day.”
Chu Leizhen was frustrated. He waved his hand. “Alright, alright. Get him to see me. I’ll give him a chance and see what he has to say.”
The sadness on Madam Wen’s face instantly disappeared. She stood up and nodded with a gentle smile. “Alright, Master is magnanimous. I’ll call him into the main room now.”
Madam Wen heaved a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Sun Baoshan’s body would be damaged. If her daughter was stubborn about this marriage, she would suffer if Sun Baoshan was not in good health in the future.
