History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws - Chapter 5

Zhang Pu’s voice was still heard from outside of the room.

 Zhang Pu said, “We have to hurry. The Zhu family is seeking blessings from the Earl of Xuanwu. If Zhu Hongxue and Jin Mulan get married first, their status will be too high, and our marriage will not be as prominent.”

 “Jin Mulan from the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu?” Xu Qianqian’s tone sounded perplexed.

 “Yes!” Zhang Pu said, “She’s called the princess of Xuanwu City.”

 His tone was even more complicated.

 Then, Zhang Pu asked, “Do you see her often? Is she really as beautiful and as powerful as what people say?”

 Xu Qianqian said, “She is very arrogant and will not attend our gatherings. She will not even respond even if the daughter of the chief invited her.”

 “She is from a several-hundred-year-old rich family; of course, she would be arrogant,” said Zhang Pu, “oh right, this is a secret, don’t tell anyone.”

 Xu Qianqian replied softly, “I know how serious this is.”

 …

 When Zhang Pu and Xu Qianqian left, Shen Lang returned back to the mirror and sneered.

 Shen Lang was not surprised at all by this situation.

 While he read about the memory of this body, Shen Lang had discovered that, since two months ago, Xu Qianqian had been hinting him with all means. For example, she said they were not fated or how his parents missed him. However, in the past, Shen Lang was not smart enough to understand these hints. Therefore, he did not take any action and remained happily in the Xu family.

 Xu Qianqian’s hints were useless. Therefore, one month ago, Shen Lang became critically ill since the lady’s bad luck had been diverted onto his body.

 Of course, Shen Lang could not die immediately. Therefore, the Xu family looked for many doctors to cure him. However, they were unable to save him, and he died an hour ago in this world.

 However, nobody expected Shen Lang from Earth to transmigrate and for a rebirth to happen.

 Perhaps the Xu family was impressed by the miracle of revival, or maybe because of other reasons, the Xu family did not kill him directly.

 Young Master Zhang Pu went straight to the point and made Xu Qianqian unveil her pretense, chasing Shen Lang out of the Xu family directly and ending their status as a couple.

 It was so rushed. When Shen Lang transmigrated, he only managed to live as the son-in-law of the Xu family for slightly more than an hour.

 He was unable to live off the Xu family and had to look for another job.

 Of course, as a doctor with x-ray vision, it was easy for him to earn a living. He could open a clinic.

 However, he was diagnosing patients and saving lives every day in his past life and was exhausted. In this life, he wanted to enjoy wealth and live casually.

 After managing to transmigrate, would he still be a doctor? That would be too demoralizing.

 After finally regaining his handsome looks, he could not let it go to waste. He had to look for a better family.

 “Hmph! Xu Qianqian, you think I am useless? I, Shen Lang, don’t see your family as worthy, either. You are merely a family of businessmen. If I have to find a family, I will find a royal family with power.”

 1However, before that, he had to regain his reputation. It was impossible for him to find a beautiful lady from the royal family if he would still be labeled as a moron.

 How many girls from wealthy and influential families around him had yet to marry?

 The daughter of the Earl of Xuanwu, Jin Mulan. That was right; it was her. Earlier on, Xu Qianqian also mentioned that she was the princess of Xuanwu City and the daughter of a hundred-year-old wealthy family.

 …

 Shen Lang did not have many things to pack since there was nothing that belonged to him in the Xu family. He left immediately.

 Time does not wait for a man. He had to quickly make his move to live off others.

 “Bang!”

 The door opened again with brute force.

 The housekeeper of the Xu family came into the room with four servants and said fiercely as he pointed at Shen Lang, “Shen Lang, how dare you! After coming into our family, not only did you eye on the wealth of my family but also molested the servants of my family. You should be beaten to death with this crime. However, the Xu family is kind enough to let you off. Master had demanded you to divorce the Miss and leave the Xu family immediately!”

 Shen Lang smiled internally again.

 That was right; there must be a reason to chase him away. He must be blamed for something he did not do.

 In these few months that he had entered the Xu family, he had not even touched any coins. Of course, the accusation of him molesting a servant was even more ridiculous.

“For your life and your family’s lives, you should know what to do after you leave,” said the housekeeper of the Xu family, “I almost forgot that you are a moron. Listen carefully, when you leave, just say that you have stolen our money and molested the servant. That was why we chased you out, and if you dare to say anything else, your entire family will die, understand?”

 “Understood,” Shen Lang said.

 “Scram,” said the housekeeper.

 “Yes, I will leave now,” Shen Lang said as he left.

 “Hold on!” the housekeeper shouted, “Search him. Such a lowly character may be indecent. Don’t allow him to steal anything from the house.”

The servants went forward to search Shen Lang, but he had nothing.

 “Your clothes are made of silk and are worth some money. You don’t deserve to wear it at all. You lucked out.” The housekeeper waved his hand and said, “Throw him out of the house.”

Then, Shen Lang was thrown out of the Xu residence.

 ******

 While he was being thrown out, the servants gossiped about him.

 “This useless brat is finally thrown out.”

 “That poor brat has gained enough from living off the Xu family for several months.”

 “With Miss’ status, I can’t believe she has been his wife for several months. How insulting.”

 “However, he is beautiful.”

 “So what? He is dumber than a pig. What a useless brat.”

 The Xu residence was very huge. He walked several minutes in the home that spanned tens of mu.

“Scram, go back to your disgusting home in the village.” One of the servants pushed Shen Lang forcefully.

 Shen Lang fell to his knees and was out of the gates of the Xu family.

 “Slam!” The door was forcefully shut.

 He looked up into the sky. The moon was hanging in the night sky.

 He thought in his head and remembered how to get home. Shen Lang walked toward the northwest direction.

 It was over 40 miles from his home, and he had to walk a long distance. Moreover, it was already night time.

 After hundreds of meters, Shen Lang could not hold the temptation and look back at the Xu residence.

 He would take revenge. It would be less than three days before he did!

 Moreover, his revenge would not end there. He would take revenge all day long.

 …

 Xu Qianqian stood at the highest point of the building and looked at Shen Lang as he left.

 “This brat is pretty lucky.” The voice of a middle-aged man rang. He was Xu Guangyun, the master of the family who had established a considerable business.

 “Father, we did too much today,” frowned Xu Qianqian, “you are ruining my reputation.”

 “I have no choice,” said Master Xu, “Zhang Pu has to see this. Whatever we have accomplished requires a big supporter. Zhang Pu is the best son-in-law we can depend on right now. It is important to make him happy. Our reputation is not important.”

 “Okay,” replied Xu Qianqian.

 “Moreover, Shen Lang is so naive that he will not spurt nonsense when he returns,” said Master Xu, “if he dares to spurt nonsense, his family will be blamed.”

 Xu Qianqian frowned. He thought that her father should not say such things.

 …

 The night was quiet. The moon was bright but hazy. Shen Lang walked back home in the night, and insects made noise all along the way.

 After walking for more than ten miles, a few people suddenly blocked him. Five warriors who were carrying weapons surrounded him, three in front and two behind.

 He was at a secluded place.

 “Young Master Shen, come with us.”

 A cloth was put over his mouth, and he could not make any noise. Another piece of cloth was placed over his eyes.

 Then, the five of them led Shen Lang in the forest for about 15 minutes.

 After that, they stopped.

 Someone took off the cloth on Shen Lang’s eyes. He was in a cemetery.

 There were a total of eight people, and each one of them was holding a knife.

 Four of them were digging a hole, a very long and deep hole.

 “Boss, we are done with digging the hole.”

 “Let’s get moving!” A hoarse voice resounded. “Invite Young Master Shen into the hole and fill it up. Remember to burn some incense sticks when you are done, to prevent Young Master Shen from dying too miserably.”

 They were trying to bury Shen Lang alive!

 A few people went forward and wanted to kill him!

 How could Shen Lang, a handsome guy, win against nine burly men? He would definitely die!

 “Hold on!” Shen Lang shouted, “Boss Tian, you won’t live long!”
