Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 592 The Sister-in-Law Misses Her Brother-in-Law, Yu Shuang Wants to Get Married (6,000 words)
The weather is nice today.

The whole world was bright, but it was still winter after all, and even with the sun shining overhead, it couldn't hide the slight chill in the air.

Huangqiao County.

The soldiers guarding the city gate would occasionally glance at the woman in white.

This woman has been guarding this place for two days, and except for mealtimes, she has mostly remained motionless in this position.

The woman was very beautiful.

They had never seen such a beautiful woman.

However, even these soldiers, who were usually somewhat frivolous, dared not show the slightest disrespect to this woman. This young lady had shown her identity token; she was the current Emperor's sister, Princess Yongping. She was also the younger sister of the current Prince Yan's principal wife, making her the Prince Yan's sister-in-law.

However, it is said that a few days ago, His Highness the Prince of Yan took this sister-in-law as a concubine. If you dare to provoke this girl, be careful that the King of Hell will pile your head on a mound of skulls! Although they have never seen the King of Hell, they know that he likes to pile human heads on mounds of skulls.

It has to be said, these influential people are really playing a clever game.

Luo Tianyi was quiet, never paying much attention to the gazes of others. She would occasionally puff out her cheeks, probably harboring some resentment. These past few days, she and Ziyu had been the ones protecting their husband… yet when her brother-in-law went to war, he preferred to take Ji Gang and Ji Peng with him, rather than let her come along. In her brother-in-law's words, fighting and protecting the country was a man's job; women should just stay behind and guard the home.

She was clearly a rank higher than her brother-in-law in terms of strength.

He was somewhat unconvinced, but considering that his brother-in-law had only practiced martial arts for two years and had already reached the eighth rank, it probably wouldn't be long before he caught up with him. Thinking about this, he felt a sense of crisis and knew he had to find a way to break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible.

However, the current method of cultivation is too slow to progress.

On the contrary, her progress was rapid during the two times she consummated her marriage with her brother-in-law... Could it be that she has to rely on dual cultivation with her brother-in-law to break through to the Grandmaster level? Moreover, she was fine before, but after consummating her marriage with her brother-in-law this time, for some reason, she always had some inexplicable longing in her heart, and she even felt an indescribable restlessness when her brother-in-law was not by her side.

A barely perceptible blush rose on Luo Tianyi's face, making her exceptionally beautiful.

It was probably just because they had just consummated their marriage and were now separated, and she felt a little reluctant to part ways; it certainly wasn't because she was still craving the pleasures she had with her brother-in-law.

Absolutely not!

Thinking this, Luo Tianyi shook his head and suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart. Speaking of which, his brother-in-law did not bring him this time, but brought Qingluan, that woman who always dressed as a man. Could something happen between the two of them?
After thinking about it, Luo Tianyi suppressed the thought. She knew about Qingluan, and had heard that she liked women. She figured nothing would happen between her and her brother-in-law.

"What's wrong? Is your sister missing her brother-in-law?"

A few teasing voices came from behind. Turning around, I saw Yu Shuang.

Her relationship with her brother-in-law is now completely public knowledge. After all, her sister summoned everyone in the palace and publicly declared that she was now her brother-in-law's concubine. In the past few days, the entire city of Pingyang probably knows about it. These days, it's quite common for two sisters to serve the same man; otherwise, there wouldn't be terms like "Teng's wife." However, acquaintances still occasionally tease her about being her brother-in-law or sister-in-law, and every time she hears it, Luo Tianyi can't help but feel a little ashamed.

Her cheeks flushed even more, but Luo Tianyi was still very happy to see Yu Shuang again: "Sister Yu Shuang."

"When did you come back?"

Yu Shuang's departure this time lasted a long time, more than two months, and her family missed her.

The Luo family had long been accustomed to Yu Shuang's presence. Although there was no blood relation, Luo Yuheng, Luo Tianxuan, and Luo Tianyi all regarded Yu Shuang as one of their own.

On Yu Shuang's beautiful face, one could clearly see some fatigue, especially in her eyes, which even seemed sleepy. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her delicate hand to cover her pink lips. She yawned, and her full body moved lazily as she sat down next to Luo Tianyi: "Last night."

“I heard that you came to Huangqiao County alone, and Yuheng was a little worried, so I came to check on you.”

As she spoke, Yu Shuang rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and looked at Luo Tianyi with a slight smile: "Yu Heng was worried that it was freezing cold outside and you wouldn't be able to take care of yourself. What if you got sick again? Now it seems that Yu Heng's worries were justified. You really did get sick."

"lovesickness."

"If you keep sitting like this, you'll turn into a statue waiting for your husband."

"What's wrong? Is your brother-in-law so good that you can't even stand being apart for a few days? Or have you consummated your marriage with him and gotten a taste of the sweetness, so you can't stand the loneliness anymore?"

"You little slut!"

Yu Shuang's voice was soft and delicate.

If Song Yan were here, she would definitely complain: "Clips."

However, Yu Shuang's voice wasn't something she was putting on; it was her natural voice, which had remained largely unchanged since she came of age, and it didn't sound unpleasant to listen to.

Luo Tianyi's cheeks grew redder and redder. She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Yu Shuang, saying, "Sister Yu Shuang, you're laughing at me too."

For the aloof Luo Tianyi, this appearance was quite rare. However, in Luo Tianyi's heart, Yu Shuang was probably another sister, and she would always be less pretentious in front of her sister.

Shaking her head, Luo Tianyi didn't delve into the matter. She knew that if she kept harping on it, she would only be the one laughed at in the end, so she changed the subject: "Sister Yushuang, you were gone for two months this time. Did something happen on Yunhai Mountain?"

Yunhai Sect
It is an extremely special place in the martial arts world.

It should be considered a martial arts sect.

However, this sect doesn't even have a proper mountain gate, and its disciples are few in number. Even including Luo Tianxuan and Luo Tianyi, who are not officially part of the sect, there are probably no more than ten disciples. Although the sect doesn't have many disciples, Yunhai Sect is quite famous in the Ning Kingdom's martial arts world. There's no other reason than that Yunhai Zhenren, a grandmaster-level expert, is enough to keep the place in check.

Not to mention Master Yunhai's disciples, each with exceptional talent; several of them are ninth-rank martial artists, not to be trifled with by ordinary martial arts forces.

Yunhai Sect is located on Yunhai Mountain. It gets its name from the fact that the mountain is steep and extremely high, and on clear mornings, one can see clouds and mist swirling around the mountainside.

There were only a few dilapidated wooden houses on the mountaintop, where Master Yunhai and his disciples lived. Although life was poor, the people of Yunhai Mountain did not care and continued to study Taoist magic. They were quite carefree. In addition, the people of Yunhai Mountain were all skilled in medicine and often went down the mountain to treat the villagers. Therefore, Yunhai Mountain had a good reputation among ordinary people and in the martial arts world.

Luo Tianyi found it hard to imagine what had happened at Yunhai Mountain that even the old fox Yunhai Zhenren couldn't handle, so he had to call Yushuang back as well.

Although Yu Shuang's face was tired, it still showed some ease and comfort. However, when Luo Tianyi suddenly brought up this matter, Yu Shuang's pretty face immediately fell, her cheeks puffed out, and she was obviously very irritable.

Although Yu Shuang was much older than Luo Tianyi, she didn't care about that at the moment. She tilted her head and leaned on Luo Tianyi's shoulder: "Tianyi, save me... that old geezer Master is forcing me to get married."

"what?"

Luo Tianyi made a strange sound.

Are you kidding me?
Yu Shuang is the apple of everyone's eye in Yunhai Mountain, isn't she?
Whether it was Master Yunhai or his senior brothers, they all doted on Yushuang like their own daughter and younger sister. How could Master Yunhai, that old man, be willing to marry Yushuang off?
Luo Tianyi was somewhat skeptical.

Yu Shuang clearly saw through Luo Tianyi's thoughts and sighed somewhat dejectedly: "This time, things are a little different. The person who came to the Mountain Climbing Sect to propose marriage is Chen Yuntian, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect!"

Luo Tianyi also knew about the Sword Sect; it was more like a family than a sect.

The sword technique was passed down from their ancestors and improved by the Chen family over generations. Now it has reached the pinnacle of perfection. Perhaps feeling that the name "Chen Family" didn't sound prestigious enough, they changed it to "Sword Sect" in a pretentious way. As for Chen Yuntian, his strength is also extremely high. Among ninth-rank martial artists, he should be unmatched. Even Luo Tianyi, who is extremely confident in her own strength, wouldn't dare to say that she could defeat Chen Yuntian.

Luo Tianyi's face clearly showed surprise: "No way, Chen Yuntian must be over seventy years old now, right? Isn't this like an old cow eating young grass? Is Master Yunhai really willing to marry you off to such a decrepit old man?"

Yu Shuang rolled her eyes in annoyance: "What are you thinking? Chen Yuntian went up Yunhai Mountain to arrange a marriage for his youngest son, Chen Mingzhe."

"It is said that Chen Mingzhe was born to Chen Yuntian when he was in his fifties, and he doted on him very much."

"I only met Chen Mingzhe once. It was when I visited the Chen family while traveling with my master. We met by chance and didn't even exchange a word. I don't know what's wrong with that guy. He actually set his sights on me."

"Even my master advised me that men should marry when they come of age and women should marry when they come of age. That young master Chen is handsome, dashing, and exceptionally talented. Marrying Chen Mingzhe wouldn't be a bad thing. He even said that if I don't find someone to marry soon, I'll become an old maid." As she spoke, Yu Shuang became more and more indignant, even clenching her small fists: "What a joke! I'm only twenty-nine, okay? Besides, I'm naturally beautiful, stunningly gorgeous. How am I old?"

Luo Tianyi chuckled in surprise. Although Yu Shuang was well-versed in Taoist arts, she was still a woman after all, and was always particularly sensitive about age.

In this day and age, if you're still unmarried at twenty-nine, you're definitely considered an old maid.

"What's Chen Mingzhe like?" Luo Tianyi asked with a smile. "He's alright. He's not bad looking, and his martial arts talent is pretty good. I haven't heard of him having any vices." Yu Shuang sighed softly, "In the eyes of ordinary girls, he should be considered a good match. However, although he seems humble and polite, I can still see the pride deep in his eyes. I don't really like that kind of person."

Luo Tianyi was also somewhat helpless. It would be abnormal for a scion of a noble family like this not to have a bit of pride in his heart, right?

It's probably because Yu Shuang lived with her aunt for a long time that she was infected by her aunt's unconventional ways.

"If you don't like it, just refuse directly. Master Yunhai loves you so much, he shouldn't force you to do something you don't like, right?" Luo Tianyi said with a smile.

Yu Shuang's expression became increasingly conflicted: "If it were that easy to refuse, that would be fine. Chen Yuntian is a bit different. Tianyi is still young and probably doesn't know that decades ago there was a grandmaster who wreaked havoc on all sides. That person strengthened himself by absorbing women's internal energy, using yin to replenish yang. He was a demon that everyone in the martial arts world wanted to kill."

"Even many female disciples of major sects, as well as the wives and daughters of sect leaders, have been subjected to sexual abuse."

"When that person doesn't use his internal energy, he looks withered and emaciated. But once he unleashes his inner strength, his face becomes like that of a child. That's why he's known as the Withered and Glorious Old Ghost. In order to deal with this demon, the leaders of the Buddhist and Taoist sects contacted dozens of masters in the martial arts world to try to besiege and exterminate the Withered and Glorious Old Ghost."

“My master, Master Yunhai, was a ninth-rank martial artist at that time, and he also received an invitation.”

"With two Grandmasters in command and dozens of Rank 9 martial artists, we thought it would be easy to eliminate the Old Ghost Ku Rong. Who would have thought that the Old Ghost's skill was so refined? Although he was seriously injured, he still managed to break through the encirclement. During the battle, Chen Yuntian shielded my master from an attack, which damaged his core. From then on, he was stuck at Rank 9 and could not advance any further."

Luo Tianyi frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this was troublesome. Grandmaster was a realm that martial artists dreamed of reaching. To be stuck at the ninth rank for a lifetime was probably the cruelest punishment.

I owe this person a huge favor.

And favors are the hardest to repay.

“Chen Yuntian and Master were good friends, and I felt indebted to Chen Yuntian over the years. So when Chen Yuntian proposed that Chen Mingzhe marry me, Master couldn’t refuse and could only say that he would listen to my opinion.” Yu Shuang sighed, “Moreover, Chen Yuntian is extremely shrewd. He didn’t say that I had to marry Chen Mingzhe. He just said that we should try to get along and give Chen Mingzhe a chance. If we really couldn’t get along, he promised not to let Chen Mingzhe continue to pester me. Master and my senior brother couldn’t say much.”

Luo Tianyi scoffed.

That's easy to say. These days, you can't just settle down and start a relationship.

A woman's reputation is worthless?

If Yu Shuang were to give Chen Mingzhe even a chance, in the eyes of outsiders, it would be tantamount to accepting Chen Mingzhe's marriage proposal.

If Yu Shuang disagrees with the marriage in the future, or if she meets someone she truly likes, then in the eyes of her fellow martial artists, Yu Shuang will inevitably be branded as a lewd and wanton woman.

Although Yu Shuang has never cared about these external titles, hearing them still makes her feel bad.

Yu Shuang leaned lazily against Luo Tianyi, exhaling, her pretty face even showing a hint of grievance: "I am an orphan."

“My master raised me, and it is my duty to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days. It is no problem for me to repay my master’s kindness, but... I don’t want to ruin my whole life just to repay my master’s kindness.”

"I had no choice but to make up an excuse, saying that something had happened at the Prince's Palace, and then I left Yunhai Mountain in a hurry. I guess it won't be long before Chen Mingzhe catches up with me. That guy is like a leech, he follows me wherever I go."

"I really don't know what's so good about me that makes him so persistent. Can't I just change if he tells me?"

Luo Tianyi listened quietly to Yu Shuang's complaints. She knew that Yu Shuang didn't expect her to offer any solutions; she just needed a listener.

Yu Shuang's voice gradually stopped.

The slightly warm sunlight shone on their faces, and if you looked closely, you could even see the fine downy hairs on their fair skin, which seemed to bloom into tiny golden particles.

Both women were very beautiful, and their close embrace created a naturally stunning picture.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Shuang blinked and slowly said, "Heavenly Robe!"

"Ok?"

"How about I marry your brother-in-law too?"

Huh?
Huh?
Luo Tianyi was startled, her body suddenly stiffening. Why were so many women staring at her brother-in-law? Was her brother-in-law really that good?

"Didn't you say you didn't want to get married?" she asked instinctively.

Yu Shuang, on the other hand, was quite generous. She lazily stretched out her two snow-white arms and made a soft "ah-woo" sound, as languid as a cat: "Don't misunderstand."

“I am focused on cultivation and don’t care much about matters between men and women. Besides, you know that our sect’s cultivation emphasizes purifying the mind and reducing desires… no, it can even be described as severing all emotions and desires.”

"I was just thinking that if I pretended to marry Song Yan, I thought that with Song Yan's reputation as Prince Yan, I should be able to scare the Chen family away."

Luo Tianyi was taken aback. Could this be the shield her brother-in-law had mentioned? But then she thought about it again and realized there was a good chance it would work.

After all, my brother-in-law truly had a fearsome reputation; he was the kind of person who could stop a child from crying.

"Why did you choose my brother-in-law?" Luo Tianyi asked helplessly, feeling somewhat unwilling. Although she had a good relationship with Yu Shuang, she was still reluctant.

"Then what can I do?" Yu Shuang pursed her lips: "I don't know many men well to begin with. When I was in Yunhai Mountain, I only met my master and senior brothers. But those senior brothers are like my brothers, my own brothers, or good buddies to me. In short, we are too familiar with each other. It just feels a bit awkward to have them pretend to be lovers or husband and wife."

After descending the mountain, I spent most of my time at the Luo family's residence.

"I've met quite a few men, but only the three Luo brothers and Song Yan are somewhat pleasing to the eye. Luo Tianshu and Luo Tianquan are in Dongling, so they can't help me right now. As for Luo Tianyang... well, I, Yu Shuang, am at least a beautiful young woman, so I still have some dignity."

"After thinking it over, it seems that only Song Yan is left."

Hearing Yu Shuang belittle Luo Tianyang, Luo Tianyi chuckled. She knew Yu Shuang meant no harm and didn't really look down on Luo Tianyang. It was just that the family was too familiar with each other, so they didn't have many reservations when they spoke. When Luo Tianyang was a child, he was seriously ill once, with a high fever and a persistent cough. Everyone thought that Luo Tianyang had contracted tuberculosis from his sister, and it was Yu Shuang who stayed by his side and cured him.

Of course, even if Yu Shuang really asked Luo Tianyang for help, Luo Tianyang would probably keep his distance.

After all, the Luo siblings had been learning martial arts from Yu Shuang since they were young. Taoist techniques require comprehension, but Luo Tianyang was a blockhead. His ears were almost pulled off by Yu Shuang, which became a psychological trauma. So much so that now, whenever he sees Yu Shuang, he runs as far away as possible.

"Is it really just an act?" Luo Tianyi asked softly, pursing her lips. After all, it was Sister Yu Shuang; she couldn't just watch her fall into a fire pit, could she?
Yu Shuang's spirits lifted, and she immediately sat up straight: "It's true, I swear in the name of the Three Pure Ones."

"Okay, I'll talk to my brother-in-law about it later, but I don't know if he'll agree," Luo Tianyi replied helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuang was deeply moved, nodding her head repeatedly with tears welling in her eyes. Luo Tianyi felt quite uncomfortable looking at her.

Looking at Yu Shuang's appearance, Luo Tianyi sighed, and a thought inexplicably arose in his mind: I just hope they don't take it too seriously.

Unable to bear Yu Shuang's teary-eyed appearance any longer, Luo Tianyi stood up and gazed into the distance. What he saw immediately brought a hint of joy to his eyes. In the far distance, boats were appearing and disappearing in the mist on the Cang River.

Two days of longing made Luo Tianyi unable to control herself any longer. An irrepressible smile appeared on her fair face. With a light touch of her toes, she floated down from the city wall, just like a fairy. Her jade feet only lightly touched the withered grass, and her body instantly darted dozens of steps away.

Yu Shuang couldn't help but gasp at the sight; this girl had truly been bewitched by Song Yan.

With a smile, Yu Shuang followed from behind. Compared to Luo Tianyi's eagerness, Yu Shuang's lightness skill was clearly more elegant.

Just as they were about to reach the port, Luo Tianyi suddenly stopped. Yu Shuang was curious and subconsciously looked up in the direction of Luo Tianyi's gaze. She saw a large ship had entered the port, and what attracted the most attention on the ship was the mountain of heads piled up on the deck.

Yu Shuang's forehead was covered in black lines. Why was His Highness the Prince of Yan so keen on building a mound of heads? They had already gone out to sea, and he still wanted to bring back the heads. Although it was winter and the heads wouldn't rot, how could he sleep at night with so many bloody heads every day?
Doesn't it give you the creeps?

She then glanced around again and quickly spotted Song Yan at the bow of the ship. However, when she saw Song Yan, Yu Shuang's heart skipped a beat.

All that could be seen was Song Yan leaning against a man dressed as a man, with her neck resting on the man's thigh.

No, that's not a man.

With a slender waist, full breasts, long legs, fair skin, bright eyes, and white teeth, and even a gold hairpin in her hair, she is clearly a girl disguised as a man.

For some reason, Yu Shuang felt a little excited. What was this? Catching someone in the act?
Will a fight break out?
