Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 287 - 131 Madam: 94, Is This Avici Hell?_2
Ruirui heard this and laughed, "You're such a lazybones. The sun's already shining on your butt."
Hearing this, Chen Jie smiled knowingly and said, "Alright, let your sister sleep a little longer. Come on, brother-in-law will take you to breakfast."
"What do you want to eat today?"
"Meat dumplings."
"Alright, let's go have some meat dumplings."
"I want two bowls."
"Alright, brother-in-law will order you four bowls, two to eat and two to look at, okay?"
"No, don't order too much. Ruirui only needs two bowls, no need to waste."
Chen Jie said, "Okay, then brother-in-law will eat the other two bowls."
The two of them, one big and one small, left the courtyard talking and laughing, while inside the house, Su Yunjin wrapped herself in a quilt and breathed a sigh of relief.
Practicing shooting yesterday was really exhausting...
*Thinking this way, she suddenly remembered that last night, she got so excited during practice that she even shouted twice. She couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. Would her husband think she was a wanton woman? She mustn't do that again in the future, but she couldn't help it!*

*So embarrassing...*
In the morning, Chen Jie and Ruirui ate dumplings at Yang's Third House. Their family's dumplings had an especially good flavor, though they cost one cent more than others.
But Chen Jie didn't lack money now, so he didn't need to be as frugal as when he was in Mianshui County.
After they were full and returned home, Su Yunjin was finally able to get out of bed and eat the breakfast Chen Jie had brought back.
"Wife, you eat first. I'm heading to White Tiger Hall. There's quite a bit to do today. I might come back late tonight or maybe not at all, and return tomorrow morning."
Su Yunjin's movements paused for a moment upon hearing this, and she quickly asked, "Is it dangerous?"
Chen Jie said, "No."
"Oh, then be careful."
Chen Jie said, "Mm, don't worry."
Watching Chen Jie leave, Ruirui turned to Su Yunjin and said, "Sister, are you not feeling well today? Why did you sleep in?"
"Didn't you tell me that the whole day's work depends on a good morning? Last time I slept in, you made me write the Three Character Classic three times..."
"Do you want to punish me with writing the Three Character Classic three times too?"
Su Yunjin looked at Ruirui, who grinned and said, "Actually, I want to eat fried meatballs for lunch today..."
"Well, then I'll go copy the Three Character Classic five times later! We're having tofu and cabbage for lunch!"
Huh??
Ruirui stared blankly at his sister, thinking, *What kind of person prefers copying books over eating meatballs in this world!*
...
White Tiger Hall.
Today, White Tiger Hall appeared solemn and heavy. Two large white lanterns hung at the entrance, and all the servants wore white sashes.
No one wore a smile.
Inside White Tiger Hall, the main hall was arranged as a mourning hall with a half-covered coffin placed inside.
A memorial tablet was offered above the mourning hall.
A day had passed, and White Tiger Hall was again hosting a funeral.
First, Fourth Brother died, and then Second Brother followed.
The group from White Tiger Hall, who didn't leave yesterday, gathered again to pay their respects to Second Master.
Not far from the mourning hall, a group of women knelt—Zheng Chuan's wives and concubines.
Among these women stood three children, also descendants of Zheng Chuan.
Peng Shizhong was still soft-hearted and found a separate courtyard for these women and children, taking care of them. Although they no longer enjoyed past glories, they were not without food and clothing.
The women knelt sobbing on the ground.
Who knew if they were grieving for their man or lamenting their lost wealth and status?
Tears flowed continuously as guild members gradually entered White Tiger Hall.
Chen Jie arrived early and stood by Peng Shizhong. Peng Shizhong looked at him and said, "Jiu Si, Second Brother has already paid the price for what he's done. Don't involve his family. These children and wives, treat them well."
Although Chen Jie didn't agree with Peng Shizhong's words, he nodded in agreement.
Just then, Feng Xuan and Lu Rong arrived.
As they reached the mourning hall, Lu Rong seemed somewhat sad, silently shedding tears.
The Old Master appeared even more heartbroken, wailing loudly, "Second Brother! Why were you so foolish? We brothers had such a good relationship, and you just leave your brother like this. My heart aches, Second Brother! I can't get over this, Second Brother! We brothers haven't spent enough time together. Second Brother! Aaaah..."
The Old Master wailed hysterically, making others think he and Second Brother had a deep bond.
Some even made comments below.
"See how grief-stricken Old Master is. Even when my mother died, I didn't cry like this. Seems like even though Old Master and Second Master fought, there was true affection."
"Yes, Old Master has always been sentimental. If Second Master hadn't pressured him so much over the years, Old Master wouldn't have been so troubled."
"Isn't that right? Old Master isn't easily moved!"
The crowd chatted away, praising Feng Xuan for being a sentimental and righteous person.
Compared to that, Fifth Master seemed a bit cold-blooded, as he hadn't shed a tear since entering the hall.
In the hearts of the people, Peng Fu saw Feng Xuan crying bitterly and said, "Old Master, that's enough. Stop crying, the dead won't come back."
"Oh, Uncle Fu, my heart aches, my heart aches!"
Feng Xuan sobbed loudly, and Peng Fu repeated, "I know, I know."
"Come, the family should return the salute."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan was led to the front of the women. Mrs. Zhao immediately led the sisters in returning the salute, saying, "Thanks to Uncle."
Feng Xuan held Mrs. Zhao with a face full of sorrow, but his eyes glanced over Mrs. Zhao's beautiful figure, thinking, *Is this Second Brother's beloved? She does look quite nice.*
