Qiao Yu opened his eyes groggily.

"Where am I..."

Qiao Yu rubbed the back of his neck, which was still aching. He vaguely remembered fighting a man named Lu Yanhang, but shortly after the battle ended, he was knocked unconscious by a mysterious woman.

"Young master-in-law, you're awake!"

Two maidservant-like girls bowed slightly to Qiao Yu, revealing deep wounds on their chests.

Young master-in-law? What's going on? Did I transmigrate again?

Hearing this unfamiliar title, Qiao Yu was stunned.

He looked around. He was lying on a very spacious bed, in a room that looked extremely luxurious.

Marble steps, expensive carpets, jade sculptures, everything in the room seemed extravagant to Qiao Yu.

In the northeast corner of the room, there was also a purple bookcase. The warm sunlight shone through the pink纱簾 (sha lian) on the bookcase. It was obviously the boudoir of some rich young lady.

Qiao Yu got up and wanted to walk out of the room, but the two girls immediately stopped him.

"Young master-in-law, you can't run around without miss's permission!"

"Miss? Who is your miss?" Qiao Yu asked.

The two girls looked at each other, seeing surprise on each other's faces.

The young master-in-law is asking who the miss is? Has he lost his memory?

Seeing that the two girls didn't answer, Qiao Yu walked towards the door.

"Young master-in-law, you can't go out!"

The two girls wanted to stop him, but how could they possibly stop Qiao Yu?

Bang!

Qiao Yu yanked the door open, only to find a woman standing at the door, looking at Qiao Yu with a smile.

"It's you!"

Qiao Yu's eyes widened!

"What, are you surprised to see me?"

The woman smiled faintly, utterly captivating.

"You may all leave."

"Yes."

The two girls left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

"What exactly do you want?" Qiao Yu frowned and asked.

"Calm down first, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

The woman extended a jade finger and gently stroked Qiao Yu's chest. The wooden seed in Qiao Yu's chest, which hadn't moved for a long time, actually began to grow slowly, and then a bright red rose bloomed.

Qiao Yu broke out in goosebumps all over. Who could remain calm after seeing a flower bloom on their chest?

Then the woman reached out and plucked it, and the wooden seed that had troubled Qiao Yu for so long disappeared.

Only the one who tied the bell can untie it. The woman was none other than Tang Lan, who had been missing for a long time.

Seeing the wooden seed disappear, Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tang Lan, what do you mean by this? Why do they call me young master-in-law?" Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

"I am the eldest miss of the Tang family, and you are my husband, so aren't you the Tang family's young master-in-law?" Tang Lan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Huh?"

Qiao Yu gasped.

"I beat you into a pig's head at Spirit Cleansing Lake last time, and you still want to kidnap me back to be your husband? Tang Lan, are you a masochist?"

Tang Lan: "..."

Hearing this, Tang Lan could no longer maintain her composed appearance. She gritted her teeth and looked at Qiao Yu, saying fiercely.

"You dare say that! If you hadn't ruined my plans, would I have had to kidnap you back to be my husband?" Tang Lan's delicate face was full of anger.

"Stop!"

Qiao Yu made a stopping gesture.

"I admit that I ruined your plan at Spirit Cleansing Lake, but I did that to save my own life. What does that have to do with you kidnapping me back?"

Tang Lan took a deep breath and calmed down before speaking.

"The Tang family has a rule that if a member of the Tang family doesn't reach the high-rank realm before the age of 25, they will be used as a tool for arranged marriages."

"Originally, I could have reached it with the altar at Spirit Cleansing Lake, but you destroyed it."

Qiao Yu nodded.

"That's all well and good, but I still don't understand why you kidnapped me back to be your husband."

Hearing this, Tang Lan smiled, but the smile looked somewhat cunning.

"Because, if I can find my true love, I won't have to go for an arranged marriage even if I don't reach the high-rank realm."

"Of course, the original marriage partner may be extremely annoyed, and they may also vent their anger on you."

Qiao Yu: "!!!"

He didn't say a word, got up and left.

Anyway, Tang Lan had already taken away the wooden seed, so he had no worries at all.

"The entire Tang family knows that you, Qiao Yu, are the Tang family's new young master-in-law. I also told my dad that I'm pregnant with your child. If you leave now, not only will my arranged marriage partner deal with you, but the entire Tang family will deal with you." Tang Lan said calmly.

Qiao Yu stopped and obediently walked back.

"Tang Lan, you really are a ruthless person!" Qiao Yu said, pointing at Tang Lan's nose.

Tang Lan parted her red lips slightly and directly sucked on Qiao Yu's finger.

Qiao Yu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, but he also felt a strange sensation.

Seeing this, Tang Lan smiled charmingly.

"What? Are you at a disadvantage being my husband?"

Qiao Yu was overwhelmed: "Sis, of course I'm at a disadvantage, you're already 25, and I'm only 19!"

Tang Lan: "Marrying an older woman is like finding a treasure."

Qiao Yu: "But you're six years older than me!"

Tang Lan: "Then you find two treasures, you'll make a killing."

Qiao Yu: "..."

"How about this, let's discuss it. You just don't want an arranged marriage, right? I'll help you solve the arranged marriage problem, and you let me go. From now on, we'll go our separate ways, okay?" Qiao Yu said, rubbing his forehead.

"Okay! Deal!"

Tang Lan agreed very readily.

"As long as you can pass the Tang family's test and get rid of my arranged marriage partner, I'll be free!"

Seeing Tang Lan's reaction, Qiao Yu immediately realized that he had been tricked!

He felt like he was a big fool. Tang Lan's initial goal was to get rid of the arranged marriage.

"Okay, take a good bath, dress up nicely, and tonight at seven o'clock is our Tang family's family banquet. I'll come and pick you up."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Tang Lan twisted her waist and got up to leave.

Qiao Yu was already feeling angry because he had been schemed against. Seeing this, he didn't think twice and directly slapped Tang Lan's翘臀 (qiao tun) - her shapely butt.

"Ah!"

Tang Lan let out a cry. For a moment, her臀波 (tun bo) - her butt cheeks rippled, and Qiao Yu was also shocked by the amazing elasticity.

"You're courting death!" Tang Lan said angrily.

"Don't be impulsive! I'm your husband now!" Qiao Yu quickly used this shield.

Tang Lan's chest rose and fell continuously, as if it took a great deal of effort to suppress the anger in her heart.

Bang!

She stormed out, slamming the door hard against the door frame, making a loud noise.

As soon as Tang Lan left, Qiao Yu sat back on the bed with a worried look.

It was truly one wave after another. He originally wanted to solve Lu Yanhang and then unlock the seal on his memories, but then Tang Lan suddenly appeared.

Sure enough, women are trouble! He must stay away from women!

Qiao Yu said to himself in his heart.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open again.

The two girls from before came in with toiletries. They bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Young master-in-law, we will help you bathe and change."
