"I'm going to kill you!" Wenren Qingyi was furious, her impression of Mu Zibai worsening. How could he say such things! So vulgar!
Especially since he dared to mock her, it was even more unforgivable.
Mu Zibai said speechlessly, "I say, you're a young lady, shouldn't you be learning needlework instead of fighting? Can't you be a bit more demure?"
Mu Zibai took two steps back, and Wenren Qingyi couldn't even touch him.
Staring at Wenren Qingyi's fists and kicks, the moves were all good moves, but Wenren Qingyi had no real skill. She had only learned the form, and she was very clumsy.
In Mu Zibai's eyes, she was incredibly slow, and he could easily dodge her attacks.
If Wenren Qingyi wasn't Wenren Lingmeng's sister, the third young lady of Wenren Manor, Mu Zibai would have really wanted to throw her to the ground, take out his belt, and then...
...spank her hard.
She was too presumptuous; she must not have had a perfect childhood.
"Third Young Lady, Son-in-law, what are you two doing?" Xiao E walked in and saw the scene, stepping forward to stand between them.
"Xiao E, you're here at the right time. While you were away, this guy actually climbed into Sister's bed!" Wenren Qingyi pointed at Mu Zibai.
She looked just like a little student tattling.
Wenren Qingyi looked smug, watching Mu Zibai with schadenfreude. Although she couldn't catch him, Xiao E definitely could.
Xiao E was silent for a moment, then said, "Son-in-law and Miss are husband and wife, shouldn't they be sleeping together?"
Wenren Qingyi froze, staring at Xiao E as if she were a stranger. Didn't Xiao E usually side with her? Why was she speaking up for Mu Zibai?
"I..." Wenren Qingyi was speechless, not knowing what to say. She was very angry but helpless, and was about to cry.
Xiao E comforted her, "Alright, Third Young Lady, now that Son-in-law and Miss are husband and wife, they should be sleeping together."
Wenren Qingyi looked wronged, hating Mu Zibai in her heart. She had been counting on Xiao E to help her vent her anger, but Xiao E was on Mu Zibai's side.
Returning this time felt like the sky had changed. Her closest sister had a husband, and Xiao E, who usually took care of her and stood by her the most, was no longer on her side.
It felt as if her two most important people had been snatched away by Mu Zibai.
"But usually, Sister and I sleep together," Wenren Qingyi pouted, saying aggrievedly.
Xiao E stepped forward and said, "You'll get married someday too, and then you'll sleep with your own husband."
Wenren Qingyi puffed out her cheeks, made a face at Mu Zibai, and ran out, saying, "My mother said she's taking Sister for a walk in the backyard."
"That's just how Third Young Lady is," Xiao E said helplessly.
"A child who will never grow up."
Xiao E brought over a basin of hot water, wet a handkerchief, and handed it to Mu Zibai.
Now, Mu Zibai was basically doing all these chores. Xiao E completely trusted Mu Zibai, which also made it easier for Mu Zibai to earn points. The growth of his points was quite steady.
Wenren Lingmeng had also gone from resistance to shyness, and then to adaptation.
He lifted Wenren Lingmeng onto the wheelchair and pushed her out.
"Aren't you coming?"
Seeing that Xiao E had no intention of going.
"I'll stay and clean the room. Let them take Son-in-law."
Xiao E looked up and signaled to the two maidservants in the courtyard.
Now, there were only these few maidservants in Wenren Lingmeng's courtyard, responsible for the daily cleaning.
Mu Zibai pushed Wenren Lingmeng to the backyard.
Although it was almost winter, the flowers in the backyard were still in full bloom, and the climate was very warm.
"A formation?" Mu Zibai felt a wave of warmth and looked up at the sky. There should be a formation providing the heating.
At a glance, he saw Wenren Qingyi accompanying Madam Mu, chattering incessantly.
Upon seeing Mu Zibai, she directly rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue, looking defiant.
"Xiao Bai is here." Madam Mu smiled gently.
"Greetings, Mother." Mu Zibai bowed.
"We're all family, no need for formalities." Madam Mu smiled.
Her gaze towards Mu Zibai was full of satisfaction.
"I'll push Lingmeng. In the past, Lingmeng loved coming to the backyard to admire the flowers." Madam Mu stepped forward. Mu Zibai wisely stood aside, and Wenren Qingyi followed.
This scene reminded Mu Zibai of his own mother. Whenever his mother and her friends went shopping, he would always be dragged along, honored to follow behind, becoming a lucky charm for carrying things.
It was so similar to now, thankfully he didn't have to do physical labor.
Mu Zibai followed behind, listening to Madam Mu and Wenren Qingyi chat and laugh. He felt like an outsider.
He couldn't appreciate the flowers; he only had three ratings: not good, okay, good.
He opened the Shop.

Mu Zibai: "..."
Magical Girl Cosplay Costume? A large question mark appeared on Mu Zibai's forehead. What is this? I'm a proper guy, and this thing popped up for me?
And it costs 5,000 points?
He glanced at the description: "Young man, what are you waiting for? Buy the costume and get a wife. Buying it is like getting a new wife. Collect 365 sets, and you can rotate through them 365 days a year! You'll have 365 wives."
Mu Zibai: "=-="
He fell into deep silence. What have I done to deserve this? My entire life has been proper, and you show me this?
However, seeing this Magical Girl Cosplay Costume, if Wenren Lingmeng wore it, wouldn't that be...
Turning into a magical girl in the middle of the night, and punishing him in the name of the moon?
Mu Zibai remembered a classmate from high school who was into anime. He aspired to marry a wife who not only could cosplay but also "play" (cosplay and perform), changing her appearance every day for ten years without repetition.
But honestly, the price goes up a lot when it's a cosplay costume.
This is probably why it sells for 5,000 points?
However, it's a pity that Mu Zibai doesn't have this hobby. Mu Zibai considers himself a proper person, never watches anime, and certainly doesn't like the second dimension (anime/manga culture).
[Points -5000]
Divine Light Stick? Can this thing summon Tiga? One million points? So expensive!
Can't afford it, so he skipped it.
Five Thousand Years of Chinese Poetry Anthology, embodying the cultural heritage of China for five thousand years. With this one book, Mu Zibai could confidently become a literary plagiarist.
Moreover, with this cultural heritage, couldn't Mu Zibai directly achieve sainthood through Confucianism? Is the cultural heritage of our great China for five thousand years just a reputation?
[Points -10000]
Beginner Alchemy Experience. The alchemist profession is a lucrative one. If he could become an alchemist, that wouldn't be bad.
But Mu Zibai basically had no use for it right now. He decided to play it safe and didn't buy it.
