People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

"Hey, Brother Kuang Xiu, Brother Han, why are you running away?"

Han Fei stretched out his arm, covered his face with his long sleeve, and said in a affected tone, "Brother, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Han Fei."

Cao Ze bluntly asked, "Brother Han, how did you know that the Brother Han I'm talking about is Han Fei?"

An awkward atmosphere was spreading.

Kuang Xiu shrugged. "Brother Han, there's nothing we can do. This is fate."

Han Fei said with a mournful face, "I am the King of Han. If I were to run naked in Xinzheng, how could I continue to be the King of Han?"

Kuang Xiu's mindset was alright, after all, he had the experience of running naked in Handan and Xianyang.

A lot of fleas don't itch, and a lot of debt doesn't worry you.

Since I've already lost all face, running naked again won't make a difference.

Cao Ze said with a "delighted" tone, "Brother Jing Ke said that Brother Kuang Xiu always keeps his word, and today I see that it is indeed true."

Han Fei muttered, "Harming others harms oneself; Brother Cao only knows how to trick people."

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "It's just a matter of accepting the consequences of a bet. If I lose, will you let me go?"

Han Fei and Kuang Xiu exchanged a glance. If they won, they would never be able to break Cao Ze's thick skin unless they invited all the people in Xinzheng City to watch.

"Ahem!" Han Fei said, "Brother Cao... well, for Honglian's sake, how about..."

Cao Ze glanced at Han Fei and said, "You won't even let me see you, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"It's just that we're not allowed to meet before the wedding..." Han Fei said somewhat guiltily.

Cao Ze glared: "Isn't that enough?"

He planned to appease Honglian and postpone the marriage for a few years.

Who knew my brother-in-law was so shrewd, he didn't give him a chance at all. If I hadn't cleverly shifted the blame to Ying Zheng and made him the villain, how could I have picked up girls so easily in the future?

Han Fei steeled his heart, "Since that's how it is!"

Cao Ze's eyes lit up. Could it be that Han Fei had agreed to let him go find Honglian?

"I'll run naked if I want to..."

Han Fei was going all out, even though his tone was getting weaker and weaker.

"Hahaha..."

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out.

It's not Cao Ze.

But...

Kuang Xiu slapped his thigh hard, laughing wildly, "Good, good, good! With Brother Han together, streaking is fine, hahaha... It's an honor to streak with King Han!"

Han Fei gave a wry smile, and then he laughed too.

"That's right! Who knows, history might even have to record it for us!"

"Don't you think so, Brother Cao?"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow at Cao Ze, looking quite pleased with himself.

Cao Ze exclaimed, "Shocking! Two old men were running naked in the middle of the night in Xinzheng City, just for..."

"go down in history!"

Kuang Xiu laughed loudly and exaggeratedly, "See you tonight!"

Cao Ze was speechless.

Sometimes you have to admire people's thought processes.

The differences between people are indeed ridiculously large.

In this respect, he was completely outmatched by Han Fei and Kuang Xiu, beaten to a pulp.

This perfectly proves the saying that when people are shameless, they become invincible.

Therefore, he never compares himself to others in terms of being cheap or lowly.

Thinking of this, Cao Ze smiled.

"Okay, see you tonight."

Nongyu looked at the three men with a strange expression. Why were these three grown men so indifferent to such a vulgar thing as streaking, and even... laughing happily?

Han Fei and Kuang Xiu happily returned to the palace.

Cao Ze happily went to visit his dear mother-in-law.

Inside the mansion, in the West Garden.

Madam Hu looked at Cao Ze and Nongyu, who had come to visit, with a look of astonishment.

Madam Mingzhu wisely kept her distance, but secretly kept an eye on Cao Ze and his companions.

Cao Ze discovered that Madam Mingzhu was secretly spying on him, and thought to himself that this slut was quite sensible.

If Madam Mingzhu were to cause trouble, that would be truly hilarious.

“Mother, this is Mr. Cao Ze. We have come to see you.”

Nongyu happily half-embraced Cao Ze and said to her mother.

After her initial surprise, Madam Hu saw her daughter holding Cao Ze and felt a pang of sadness followed by a surge of anger.

She had told Cao Ze, both openly and secretly, countless times not to covet her daughter.

For this reason, she readily agreed to and catered to Cao Ze's many risqué and embarrassing attempts at intimacy.

So much so that whenever she thinks back, she always feels that place is empty and hollow, leaving behind a lingering effect that tormented her for a long time.

Cao Ze noticed the way Madam Hu was looking at him. Although it was subtle, it was clear that his mother-in-law was not happy.

“Um…” Cao Ze said with a serious expression, “Let’s not stand, let’s sit down for a while.”

"Ah, right, go sit down first."

Madam Hu quickly led Cao Ze and her daughter to sit in a pavilion surrounded by flowers.

It was just that it was late autumn, and the flowers in the garden were not as vibrant and beautiful as they had been a few months ago when Cao Ze and Madam Hu were playing among the flowers; most of them had begun to wither and decay.

The three of them sat at a table.

Seeing that neither the mother nor the daughter would speak, Cao Ze had no choice but to start the conversation himself to avoid any trouble.

He did not secretly send a message to Madam Hu to explain.

It's useless and unnecessary.

It would be far better to take some time to enrich Mrs. Hu's life first, and then make excuses... oh no, explain later so that communication can proceed smoothly.

Mrs. Hu is clearly angry right now.

Once Nongyu started talking, she chattered incessantly with her mother, occasionally showing off Cao Ze to her.

Madam Hu heard this, remembered it, and was furious.

I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion this little thief gave his daughter; it's outrageous!

Madam Hu would occasionally cast a smiling glance at Cao Ze, like a kind elder smiling gently at a younger person.

But his foot was firmly planted on Cao Ze's instep.

The happier Nongyu was, the harder she stomped with her little feet.

This amount of force was no different from a massage to Cao Ze; it was nothing to worry about.

Cao Ze wanted to tell Madam Hu to "use more force," but considering that Madam Hu might not be able to hold back, he gave up.

So Cao Ze looked at Madam Hu with an innocent expression, his face almost screaming "innocence," which nearly made Madam Hu pick up a cup from the stone table and smash it in Cao Ze's face.

Nongyu has fallen so deeply in love with you, and you're still pretending to be innocent with me.

What did you say or promise when we were in bed?

Now you want your mother and daughter to eat and sleep together again?

Nongyu was so excited that she didn't notice the many little things her mother and the man she had chosen were doing in secret.

Madam Hu listened to Nongyu's chatter somewhat absentmindedly, letting it go in one ear and out the other, paying no attention to or thinking much about what her daughter meant.

Cao Ze understood Nongyu's implication to Madam Hu, but there was nothing he could do, because Madam Hu had basically lost all trust in him regarding Nongyu.

Seeing her mother nodding and smiling, seemingly unconcerned that she, Zi Nu, and Princess Hong Lian were all marrying the same person, Nong Yu was overjoyed.

"How about making Mr. Cao Ze your son-in-law?"

Nongyu blurted it out, and immediately regretted it, regretting that she was sometimes too eager to achieve results.

"what……"

Nongyu's simple and straightforward words finally brought Madam Hu, who was lost in thought and angry with Cao Ze, back to her senses.

Looking into her daughter's expectant eyes, she was at a loss for words.

Madam Hu couldn't take it anymore and suddenly looked at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze was even more innocent. He hadn't expected Nongyu to be so fierce. She had been frantically hinting at Madam Hu just moments before, but now she was directly stating it? Was she using a left-right brain-versus-right brain technique?

Madam Hu was furious when she saw Cao Ze still pretending to be innocent, but she didn't dare to show it.

"Mother, what do you think?"

Nongyu held Madam Hu's hand and kept acting coquettishly.

Madam Hu stammered, "This, this, it's also, it's okay."

Cao Ze grinned. Could it be that his sister-in-law was really going to become his mother-in-law?

Meanwhile, Madam Mingzhu, who was hiding not far away eavesdropping and spying, was trying her best to suppress her laughter.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and sent a telepathic message to Cao Ze, teasingly saying, "Madam Hu has agreed, so if you put in a little more effort today, maybe you and your daughter can be together today..."

Cao Ze almost rolled his eyes.

If he dared to do as Madam Mingzhu said and have his mother and daughter together today, he didn't even dare to imagine whether Madam Hu would go crazy.
