Chu Leizhen looked at Madam Wen’s enthusiastic expression and felt even more vexed.

Madam Wen had already stood up. She leaned over and kissed the side of Chu Leizhen’s face. She said gently, “Master, don’t be angry anymore. My heart aches if you hurt your body.”

With that, Madam Wen smiled and turned to leave.

Chu Leizhen’s face heated up and he immediately felt comfortable.

His wife still cared about him the most.

Madam Wen had long grasped Chu Leizhen’s personality. She went out happily and saw that Sun Baoshan was still standing in the distance. She sighed in her heart and walked over quickly.

Sun Baoshan looked at her nervously.

Madam Wen said gently, “Child, you must be tired. Let’s go inside and talk.”

Sun Baoshan felt that the joy came too quickly. He couldn’t hide the joy and excitement on his face. His mouth moved and his lips cracked. He couldn’t care less and looked at Madam Wen for an answer. “Madam, General Chu is willing to see me?”

Madam Wen nodded gently. “Yes.”

Sun Baoshan was very happy. He was overjoyed. All the gloominess retreated from his chest. He felt as if he was bathing in a spring breeze.

Seeing him like this, Madam Wen smiled gently and said, “Child, don’t blame my husband for being ruthless. He’s actually not like this. Can you understand?”

Sun Baoshan nodded heavily. His heart was as clear as a mirror. He said, “I know, I understand. It’s all because I’m weak. General Chu is already very good. If I were General Chu, I definitely wouldn’t give myself a chance so easily.”

Sun Baoshan had never blamed anyone in the Chu family. He had always understood why this matter had become like this.

After waiting for this night, he was hesitant and afraid of darkness because he was afraid that he would not have a chance.

He regretted not enlightening himself earlier and waiting for Chu Li to make things clear first. The root of this matter was that he was too cowardly. He did not have the courage. If he was General Chu, he would not give him a chance so easily.

It had only been a day, but he already had a chance. Sun Baoshan was filled with gratitude and had no complaints.

“You’re a good kid, too. Treasure the opportunity.”

Madam Wen smiled and did not say anything else. She thought to herself that General Chu would not give him a chance so easily. As a mother, she could not stand this and felt sorry for her daughter.

Madam Wen’s praise and encouraging gaze made Sun Baoshan feel much more confident.

He lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully and sincerely, “Thank you for giving me a chance. I will definitely not let you down.”

“Let’s go.”

Madam Wen smiled slightly and gradually felt relieved.

She walked in front while Sun Baoshan followed respectfully.

Madam Wen waved at the servants and they knew what she meant.

Go make good tea to entertain the guest.

Sun Baoshan had been freezing all night. A cup of hot tea was just what he needed.

Madam Wen brought Sun Baoshan back to the main room. Chu Leizhen sat on the main seat with a cold expression.

Madam Wen walked over to him and massaged his shoulders.

Chu Leizhen’s expression softened a little, but he still asked in a low voice, “What’s your name?”

Sun Baoshan cupped his hands respectfully and bowed. Then, he replied, “General Chu, my surname is Sun Baoshan. I live in the Sun residence on Cloud Forest Street in the west of the city. My father’s name is Sun Ziqian. Grandpa is Sun Bocheng…”

“Stop, stop, stop—”

Chu Leizhen interrupted Sun Baoshan and continued. He looked at Sun Baoshan and said directly, “You don’t have to tell me so much. Let’s not talk about your family for the time being. Tell me, how are you going to marry my daughter? How far can you go for her?”

Sun Baoshan stopped talking. He met Chu Leizhen’s gaze and said firmly, “General Chu, I don’t know how far I can go for Chu Li because we’re not in any danger now, and we don’t lack food and clothing. I’ve liked Miss Chu Li for a long time. I can give her everything I have now. I only beg you to give us your blessings.”

“My father only married my mother. My grandfather only had one wife. Our family has always had a good family background. In my life, I’m only going to marry one woman and not take concubines. In the future, I’ll work hard to study. I know that my status is not worthy of her, but I’ll work hard. I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely be successful in the future, but I promise that I’ll do my best. My teacher also said that there’s hope for me.”

Sun Baoshan was a little flustered. Chu Leizhen’s face had been dark, and his heart tightened. In the end, he didn’t even know what he was talking about.

It was as if everything he said was not a good advantage.

Madam Wen pinched Chu Leizhen’s shoulder and neck. Chu Leizhen pursed his lips. He understood what Madam Wen meant. He was angry and helpless, but he couldn’t stop her. Chu Leizhen said awkwardly, “That’s not important. If you want to marry my daughter, there’s one condition that I have to make you abide by. That’s what you said. You’re not allowed to take concubines or have any mistresses. No matter if you’re successful in the future, you can’t change that. Otherwise, I’ll take your life.”

“You have to write a receipt for this and let your parents know. If you can do this, I’ll agree to this marriage.”

Chu Leizhen did not have a good impression of Sun Baoshan. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this fellow was scheming. He had already taken his daughter’s heart for a few years!

The twists and turns in the scholar’s stomach were like complicated rings. He did not have the time to beat around the bush with Sun Baoshan. Since he wanted to marry and said that he could do it, he couldn’t just say it verbally. He had to make a promise.

If he dared to change his mind in the future, he would pay with his life.

Hearing Chu Leizhen’s words, Sun Baoshan agreed without much hesitation.

He said, “General Chu, I agree. I’ll go back and tell my parents now. If I can’t do it, my life will be at your disposal. Please believe me, general. I can only lie for a while, but I can’t lie for the rest of my life. Time will definitely prove whether I’m sincere or not.”

With that, Sun Baoshan cupped his hands and prepared to leave.

The Chu family relented. He wanted to go home immediately. He only wanted to get married to Chu Li as soon as possible.

Madam Wen said gently, “Wait a moment. There’s no hurry to go back. You’ve been standing there for a day and night and suffered from the cold. Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up and eat something before going back.”

Sun Baoshan was about to say no.

Chu Leizhen stood up and said, “Go back after you eat. Don’t let outsiders say that my Chu family abuses scholars.”

After saying that, Chu Leizhen walked out with his hands behind his back. He still felt uncomfortable when he saw Sun Baoshan. If he was around, Sun Baoshan probably wouldn’t be able to eat either. Instead of doing that, he might as well return to the main courtyard so that everyone could feel more comfortable.

Sun Baoshan agreed respectfully. No matter how anxious he was, he was not in a hurry.

The servants of the Chu family sent hot tea, porridge, and some breakfast.

After Sun Baoshan ate, his body quickly recovered. After eating, he stood up and bade farewell. When he met Chu Jin, he was a little nervous.

Chu Jin was nonchalant. He was no longer as cold as yesterday. He patted Sun Baoshan’s shoulder, and Sun Baoshan almost couldn’t stand steadily. Chu Jin said in disdain, “Practice more in the future when you have nothing to do. It’s not good to be too weak.”
