The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chai An's cousin Fan Lianghan came up and started crying, not caring that Wang Gang, a stranger, was present, and hugged Chai An and cried.

"Cousin, save me, my wife is going to chop me."

Chai An asked speechlessly: "What did you do again?"

Fan Lianghan stammered, "I just found two singing girls to drink with, and I don't know which gossipy woman told my wife."

Chai An was angry and said, "You know your wife is jealous, yet you still dare to look for a singing girl."

Fan Lianghan cried and said: "Cousin, I know I was wrong, please help me this time!"

Chai An was speechless and said, "What's the point of you begging me? You should be begging your wife. Hurry up, man, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Lianghan didn't feel ashamed, and continued to hug Chai An and said: "Cousin, you can't just stand by and watch me die! If I go home, my wife will chop me to death."

Chai An said angrily: "I have guests here, you stand up and speak first."

Only then did Fan Lianghan notice Wang Gang calmly drinking tea beside him.

"This brother is my cousin's friend." Fan Lianghan wiped his tears and asked.

Chai An lifted his cousin up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and said, "This is Lord Wang Gang, who just returned to Bianjing today."

"You are the cuckolded Lord Wang." Fan Lianghan said bluntly.

"Cousin." Chai An exclaimed, "Stop talking nonsense."

Fan Lianghan covered his mouth, knowing that he had said something wrong.

Chai An and Fan Lianghan's mothers are sisters and have a close relationship, but they are not from the same clan after all. Wang Gang and Fan Lianghan have never met before.

Wang Gang said indifferently: "Since he is Brother Chai's cousin, we are all family, so there is no need to be so polite."

Chai An was relieved to see that Wang Gang was not angry, and then said to Fan Lianghan with a stern face: "You go out first, I have something to discuss with Brother Wang."

Fan Lianghan cried and said: "Cousin, you really don't intend to take care of me!"

Chai An snorted coldly: "If you are really afraid of that jealous woman, just write a letter of divorce."

Fan Lianghan was shocked and said, "What! Divorce? Absolutely not."

Chai An sneered: "Why not!"

Fan Lianghan whispered: "My wife is a little fierce, but she is still very good to me! Divorcing her is absolutely not allowed."

Chai An was furious when he saw his cousin's timid look.

"It was you who insisted on marrying the girl from the Luoyang Li family. After you married her, you started to have affairs with other women. In my opinion, you deserved to be beaten to death by that Li Erniang."

Wang Gang was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this couldn’t be such a coincidence!

"Brother Fan, is your wife from the Li family in Luoyang?" Wang Gang asked.

Chai An and Fan Lianghan turned to look at Wang Gang.

"Yuan Kang also knows the Li family in Luoyang?" Chai An asked puzzled.

Wang Gang smiled and said, "What a coincidence. On my way back to Bianjing, I saved the Li family in Luoyang. I just don't know if we are a family."

Fan Lianghan said: "My wife did mention that my mother-in-law wanted to bring her four daughters to Bianjing. It can't be such a coincidence!"

Wang Gang briefly told Chai An and Fan Lianghan what happened on the road, and it turned out that they were really a family.

"My cousin's wife is the second daughter of the Li family." Chai An sighed.

Fan Lianghan suddenly shouted: "Oh no, my mother-in-law and my aunt's sister have all arrived in Bianjing. My wife will have someone to back her up now. She will beat me even harder!"

When Chai An heard what Fan Lianghan said, he was so angry that his nose almost crooked. He said speechlessly: "Look at how little you can do." Fan Lianghan shrank his neck, pulled Chai An's sleeve and shouted: "Cousin, you must accompany me home tonight. Without you, my wife will beat me to death."

"Humph." Chai An said angrily: "How could my aunt give birth to such a timid son like you? How can you bring glory to the Fan family in the future if you are so afraid of your wife?"

Fan Lianghan shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak. He was afraid of angering Chai An, so he refused to help.

Wang Gang laughed and said, "That's wrong. Brother Fan is not afraid of his wife, but he loves her. It is because he loves her so much that he doesn't fight back."

Fan Lianghan's eyes lit up, as if he had met a confidant in life, and he sighed: "Brother Wang, what you said is very good. I just love my wife, not afraid of her."

Wang Gang got goosebumps when Fan Lianghan called him "Brother Wang".

"You can just call me Brother Wang."

Fan Lianghan sat down next to Wang Gang excitedly and said affectionately: "Brother Wang, I feel like we are old friends today. I heard from my cousin that you just returned to Bianjing. You should try Panlou's Eight Treasure Duck. I'll call a few dancers to help with the fun."

Wang Gang was speechless at Fan Lianghan's enthusiasm. He could see that Fan Lianghan was a natural social butterfly and he could get along with everyone he met at first sight.

"You still plan to call the dancer. You really want to be beaten to death by your wife!" Chai An said angrily.

"This is not to entertain Brother Wang, but also to explain to my wife when I go back." Fan Lianghan laughed.

Wang Gang and Chai An then realized that this was Fan Lianghan's plan, and they were both speechless.

"Stop messing around. I'll go back with you and take those two dancers back with us." Chai An stood up and said.

"What, take the dancer back!" Fan Lianghan stepped back and was so scared that he almost fell to his knees.

Chai An snorted coldly: "I will make the decision for you today and teach the lady of the Li family a lesson."

Fan Lianghan swallowed his saliva and said, "Cousin, what do you want to do?"

Chai An said impatiently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to help you?"

Fan Lianghan said with a bitter face: "Cousin, if you don't explain clearly, I will feel uneasy!"

Chai An snorted coldly: "Look at your lack of ability. I will help you warn the second wife of the Li family and ask her to abide by the rules of being a woman."

Fan Lianghan said fearfully: "Cousin, you don't know how powerful my wife is. What's more, my mother-in-law and my aunt's sister have already arrived in Bianjing, so my wife will be even more fearless."

Chai An sneered: "It is precisely because your mother-in-law and her family have arrived in Bianjing that your wife dares not do anything reckless. If the reputation of the Li family as a jealous woman spreads out, how will your cousins ​​get married?"

Fan Lianghan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

The four ladies in the Li family are all unmarried, and now is the time when their reputation is most important. If bad news gets out, Li Er Niang will regret it for the rest of her life and will never dare to see her mother and sister again.

Wang Gang watched the two brothers plotting against the wife of the Li family, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Brother Fan, honesty is the most important thing for a couple. You are plotting against the wife like this, which will only destroy the relationship."

Chai An laughed and said, "Yuankang, you don't know how powerful the Li family's wife is. She is not just a jealous woman, she is a fierce woman. She dares to pick up a sword and chop people if she disagrees with you."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "I have been getting along with the Li family all this time, and I think they are quite nice. The girls in the Li family are all well-educated and well-mannered, and they can be called ladies from a noble family. Are they as bad as you say?"

Chai An looked at Wang Gang in surprise.

He vaguely remembered that Wang Gang used to be oblivious to what was happening outside the window. He devoted himself to reading books of sages and philosophers, and he even scoffed at matters between men and women.

How come after three years in office, he's already concerned about the trivialities of other people's lives?

Could it be that he has fallen in love with one of the girls from the Li family?

"Yuankang, which of the four girls of the Li family do you think is the best?" Chai An said tentatively.

"The girl from the Li family was sitting in the carriage all the way. I didn't have any contact with her, but looking at that lady Li, she seems to be a good person with a gentle temperament. The daughter she raised should not be a shrew." Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Brother Wang, you don't know." Fan Lianghan explained to his wife: "My wife is not born fierce. She was forced to do so by the tigers, leopards, wolves and jackals of the Li family." (End of this chapter)
