Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 137 - 106, husband, today I am truly, truly very hap

Wu Zhong said, "Is there any doubt, Father was there, Sect Master Peng, who can’t be deceived? Not the old man for sure."

While speaking these words, Su Yunjin also looked toward Chen Jie. Chen Jie, having taken a big gulp of water, saw Su Yunjin’s inquiring expression and opened his mouth to say, "We haven’t set up yet, it doesn’t count as officially received, but Yunjin, after going back today, pack up, tomorrow you’ll co with to the county town."

"Ah, to the county."

Worry appeared on Su Yunjin’s face. Chen Jie, puzzled, asked, "What’s wrong?"

"We don’t even have a place to stay in the county ..."

As Su Yunjin spoke, Chen Jie responded, "That can be resolved, we have several silver taels in hand. Let’s see how much houses cost in the county town. If not, we’ll rent a house first, and once I establish myself in White Tiger Hall, we can buy a house."

Hearing this, Su Yunjin added, "Jiu Si, maybe I and Ruirui should stay at ho. You’re going to White Tiger Hall, you’ll need to carry so Silver with you. n inevitably entertain, and if you can’t even afford to treat others, people will laugh."

"I’ll stay ho with Ruirui, we have food and drink, it’s fine. Once you’re settled in the county, co back for and Ruirui."

Chen Jie, hearing her words, said, "You don’t want to co with to the county?"

Su Yunjin fell silent. Did she not want to accompany Chen Jie to the county?

No, she was afraid she would beco a burden to Chen Jie.

How could Chen Jie not understand his wife’s thoughts? He reached out and held her hand, saying, "I know what you’re thinking, you’re afraid of becoming my burden, right? But husband is going to the county, and I heard there are plenty of brothels around. Aren’t you afraid your husband will be led astray?"

Hearing ’brothel,’ Su Yunjin’s expression tensed.

But she still responded, "My husband is not that kind of man."

Chen Jie, seeing Su Yunjin’s reaction, said, "I’m used to living with you, and besides, I killed Yu Biao. The Guild Cao resents to the bone. I can’t be at ease leaving you in this village. Co with tomorrow, it’s settled."

Chen Jie was very staunch. Su Yunjin wanted to say more.

At this ti, Bai ca over and took Su Yunjin’s hand, saying, "Silly girl, the county is a dazzling world. Jiu Si has made sothing of himself now, being the adoptive son of Peng Shizhong, do you know how many won would want to cling to him? If you don’t go with him to keep an eye on things, how can you be at ease? I haven’t seen anyone as naive as you."

"Listen to your aunt, go back and pack your things. Tomorrow co with Jiu Si to the county. As for money, your Uncle Zhong and I will give you twenty taels."

"Yes, Jiu Si, a poor family seeks wealth even on the road. Your uncle used those silver taels these past days for buying herbs. Just twenty taels, don’t mind if it’s little. Go with Yunjin to the city and get a bigger house, don’t shortchange yourselves."

Wu Zhong also chid in.

Chen Jie, hearing this, said, "No need, Uncle Zhong, I have enough money."

Wu Zhong responded, "There’s still enough money? Yunjin is right. When you’re in White Tiger Hall, you’ll have to occasionally treat your colleagues to drinks, it costs money."

Upon hearing this, Bai gave Wu Zhong a look and said, "Yes, especially going to that place called Yihong House. Uncle Zhong took soone there once and spent five silver taels."

Wu Zhong turned pale and said, "Lan’er, I just had a few drinks, didn’t do anything else, really. I’ve explained so many tis, it was those bastards who ordered the girls!"

Bai gave Wu Zhong a stern look and then, pulling Yunjin’s hand, said, "Co, co to your aunt, let have a private word with you."

Wu Zhong, stretching his neck and seeing Bai walking away, also pulled Chen Jie aside, saying, "Jiu Si, uncle has told you several tis, really go to Yihong House less, it truly is a place that ensnares souls. The little money we earn can’t even cover one night’s expenses there."

"That really is a gold-draining pit!"

Wu Zhong, still frightened, seed to recall his experiences of spending money.

Chen Jie was also taken aback, then turned to Wu Zhong and asked, "Uncle Zhong, you didn’t really cheat, did you?"

Wu Zhong gave Chen Jie a look, pulling out a silver note from his pocket that read: ’Thirty taels of patterned silver.’

"Take this. This is all uncle has, don’t refuse. Pay back when you earn money."

Chen Jie thought for a mont and said, "Then, thank you, uncle."

"Don’t ntion it. The old master treats you like his own grandson, and I can’t be too stingy. Just don’t let Yunjin know. If you’re really curious, just take a quick look. Go less, much less."

Wu Zhong spoke earnestly.

anwhile, inside the house, Bai pulled Su Yunjin aside, saying, "Yunjin, let have a private word with you."

"Aunt, please speak."

"n are all the sa, eating from the pot while eyeing the pan. More so for capable n. Your Uncle Zhong, not very capable, but in his youth, he also had wandering eyes. I know so things, but I don’t want to divorce him, so I just pretend I don’t know. He knows he owes , so he loves all the more."

"Jiu Si, unlike his uncle, is capable and ambitious. n like him are most likely to attract won. They will flock to him like moths to a fla. You need to be prepared."

Bai looked at Su Yunjin as she said this.

Su Yunjin, hearing these words, nodded lightly, "I understand, aunt."

She too had read about "won’s virtues" and understood the social expectations for won: to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She also knew that in this world, a slightly successful man can’t have just one woman.

Having multiple wives and concubines was inevitable.

In this era that believed in the prosperity of many children, a man who loved only one woman would be considered problematic.

Even wives should collude with their husbands in arranging to take concubines.

If a man loved only one woman, it would be considered that the woman was overly jealous, which was not tolerated by the entire feudal moral code.
