Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Tang Yun shook her head fearfully. "I can't have this, Old Madam Chu. This is the Chu family's private treasure. Its value is immeasurable. How can I, an outsider, guard a sacred relic like this? Please take it back."

While it's my first time seeing the Book of Celestial Cloud, I've heard of its legend more than once growing up. My master spent his entire life searching for this book. Even until his death, he had never laid his eyes on it. Yet, Old Madam Chu wants me to have it. For so many years, the previous heads of the Chu family dreamed of obtaining this but could never find it. I can't believe it's now in my hands. How am I supposed to feel calm about this?

Smiling plainly, the old woman insisted, "Take it. I'm not giving it to you. This is for Chu Lin. You're just guarding it for him."

"But I'm still an outsider, Old Madam Chu. I..." Tang Yun was still reluctant to accept it because the Book of Celestial Cloud could only be possessed by Yunyang's descendants.

It was the Chu family's iron-clad rule, much like how Cloud and Mist Sword Technique could only be passed down to the Tang family's descendants.

She didn't have the nerve to break the rule set by Chu Yunyang.

Old Madam Chu knocked the younger woman's head with dissatisfaction and snapped, "Why are you still calling yourself an outsider when you already have a child with that brat? Do you think being the daughter-in-law of the Chu family is bad?"

Tang Yun blushed, at a loss for words.

It's strange. Hearing Old Madam Chu accept me as the daughter-in-law of the Chu family gives me a sense of belonging. For years, I never dared to wish for it. After all, Ye Fan is a married man, our age gap is vast, and we have plenty of grudges against each other. I thought our relationship would always be an ill-fated one and nothing good would come out of it. To my surprise, I actually became a part of the Chu family. It's a strange feeling. It feels like I've found a new home and gained new family members. Is this what it's like to have in-laws?

Many distinct emotions swirled in her heart, such as joy, fear, and love.

However, that novel feeling only lasted for a short while. Soon, sorrow trampled over all other emotions.

Raising her head, Tang Yun asked in a whisper, "Is it true that Ye Fan's gone, Old Madam Chu?"

A gloomy expression settled on Old Madam Chu's face. "You heard of it, too?"

Sighing, she turned to look at the scenery outdoor.
