Get out of the way just because she said so? What kind of real man would do that?
Fortunately, Chen Yi was just a live-in son-in-law—and one with the worst reputation of them all. Selling out Pei Guanli was second nature to him.
He then watched her run off, shrieking, "Waaah! Brother-in-law, help me, help...!"
As the sound of tinkling bells faded into the distance, Chen Yi and Xiao Jinghong exchanged a glance and couldn't help but find it amusing.
Of course, Xiao Jinghong had no intention of actually hurting Pei Guanli; she was just trying to scare her.
Even when Pei Guanli had resorted to poisoning the guests earlier, she had only given her a light punishment.
After they shared a laugh, Xiao Jinghong said, "Husband, my older sister and I have something to handle, so I won't be returning to the Spring Lotus Garden just yet."
Chen Yi paused for a moment before nodding. "Of course, my lady."
