Chen Ying spent seven days mourning and finally concluded the funeral ceremony for her late father.

Taking off her mourning clothes and changing into regular attire, she tidied up the house, which now only belonged to her. With a hint of reluctance, she took one last look before shouldering her burden and walking towards the outskirts of the village.

Chen Xiu had already brought a young maid and was waiting for her in a carriage parked at the village entrance. When she saw Chen Ying come out, she immediately waved her hand in joy.

Chen Ying got on the carriage, and with a whistle from the coachman, the carriage headed back to Nanping City.

Inside the carriage, Chen Xiu recounted the recent events in the Chu family and advised Chen Ying on some things she should pay attention to in the future.

Although Chen Ying had her own opinions, at this moment, she could only blush and listen.

From now on, she would be a member of the Chu family. She wasn't afraid of doing chores, but when it came to matters like warming the bed... she truly had no experience and had to be quietly taught by Chen Xiu.

"My husband is a good person and very gentle towards us, but as a daughter, you are naturally delicate. After a few rounds, you'll lose your strength. When you can't bear it, don't try to be strong. If you need mercy, ask for it. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of bed the next day!"

"In the future, Ning and I will help, but tonight is your wedding night, and we can't help you. If you can't bear it, you can use this method to ease the situation..."

"Oh, how can I say such vulgar things? Do you understand the temporary solution? But be careful, don't waste the opportunity. You must let your husband's seed stay in your belly. Remember what I told you, the mother relies on the child!"

"..."

On the way, Chen Xiu was truly worried about Chen Ying's future happiness. Chen Ying's appearance was a disadvantage, especially with Ning Xiangyue's presence. It made her concerned about whether her younger sister could keep Chu Shen's heart.

That's why she tirelessly urged Chen Ying to find a way to have a child. If she had a child, even if she couldn't keep Chu Shen's heart, based on Chu Shen's character, it would still provide Chen Ying with someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

Chen Ying also knew that Chen Xiu was doing it for her own good, but the content was too explosive. As someone who had not yet experienced anything, she could only listen in a daze. Her whole body felt intoxicated, blushing from head to toe, as if she was about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment from the ground.

But she also felt very happy, with her cousin's care, the joy of having a good husband for the rest of her life, and the increasing anticipation for a better future life.

So when she arrived in Nanping City, put on her wedding dress, and sat in the sedan chair, entering the Chu family amidst firecrackers and drum music, she felt shy and joyful.

However, the neighbors of Yangliu Lane who were invited to attend Chu Shen's polygamous wedding had some complicated discussions privately, apart from cheering and celebrating.

"I heard that this young master of the Chu family is an 'outsider'."

"That's right. Nanping City can also be considered as having an 'outside world' visitor. Why do you think so many people have come to join in the celebration? It's all for some good luck."

Dongxuan Tian and many other 'outside world' visitors, also known as people from other worlds, had some contact with other worlds. Some of them would return to their own world, while others couldn't go back and would settle in various places in Dongxuan Tian.

Among these settled 'outsiders', there were certainly bad people, but most of them could adapt to the local customs. Especially many of them would bring their own world's technology and ideas, objectively promoting the development of Dongxuan Tian.

After all, it was somewhat difficult for a cultivation world like Dongxuan Tian to make technological progress or undergo ideological changes. The cultivators were too powerful, dominating the world. Most people, especially those elite talents, would pursue cultivation as long as they had the aptitude for it, rather than developing the technology needed by ordinary people or improving social civilization. Naturally, this caused the development of the entire civilization to be somewhat distorted and slow.

The influx of 'outsiders' brought vitality to Dongxuan Tian in a certain sense.

This is also one of the reasons why many countries in Dongxuan Tian are very tolerant of 'outsiders', and most ordinary people are friendly towards them.

"But is this Mr. Chu's frequent marriages a bit too much? I heard that including today, he has married three concubines in the past seven days!"

"Hey, why are you so concerned about this? Some people want to marry, some people are willing to marry, it's their business, let's just enjoy the feast."

"What I mean is, can this Chu Gongzi handle it? Those are three beautiful ladies!"

"Tsk tsk, who knows, maybe he has some secret techniques in the bedroom?"

"Oh my, they have such a good relationship, I wonder if I can learn from them."

"You? Hahaha, you have everything in your dreams!"

"..."

During the feast, gossip was everywhere, filled with a lively atmosphere. The news of Chu Shen taking three concubines in seven days spread widely and became a hot topic.

However, some people listened to it and started to worry.

"Sword Master, this Chu Gongzi is so lustful, and Miss is living nearby. Is it appropriate?"

In a corner of the Chu family banquet, a few merchants dressed like warriors gathered together and secretly discussed.

The leader was a kind-looking old man. If Chu Shen were here, he might recognize him as the old man he saw outside the prison yard when he went to buy Ning Xiangyue and others from the tooth shop.

"Don't worry, old man, my judgment has never been wrong. Although Chu Shen took three concubines in seven days and seems lustful, he acts upright and has a kind heart. He is not a wicked person.

His concubines always had a joyful expression, conducted themselves with propriety, and looked at him with affection, indicating that he treated these concubines well and was not like those heartless and beastly privileged scoundrels.

"Our young miss is also someone who rarely leaves her residence, and we take turns guarding her. How could anything happen?"

"I'm just afraid of any unexpected situations," the man who raised the question muttered.

"Even if there were any unexpected situations, the problem wouldn't be with this young master Chu," the Sword Elder drank a sip of wine, his eyes filled with coldness. "We chose this remote southern city of Nanping and erased the young miss's traces through various means such as the dental clinic. In theory, no one should pay attention anymore. If there really are people causing trouble, it's not an external problem, but an internal one."

Hearing his words, it seemed that he suspected there was a traitor among their own people. The group of men were all surprised, but then restrained themselves under the Sword Elder's gaze.

"Sword Elder, which bastard dares to betray us?" one of the men asked with a fierce expression.

The Sword Elder narrowed his eyes. "It's hard to say for now. If there really is one, their true colors will be revealed sooner or later. We don't need to rush for now. In any case, the most important goal now is to ensure the safety of the young miss."

"Yes!"

The group of men responded in low voices, no longer speaking, and began eating and drinking like ordinary congratulatory guests.
