Chapter 59: The Matrilocal Son-in-Law Takes Charge

Upon hearing this, Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue were instantly panicked. They suddenly realized that, given Ye Huan's martial prowess, there was nothing they could do to stop him no matter what he decided to do.

Furthermore, since Ye Huan had even dared to beat up Jin Peng, Su Lei, and Su Chenchen, they had no doubt that a furious Ye Huan at this moment would genuinely dare to break their arms and legs.

"Sis, help! Save me! You pig-killer, don't come closer! Stay away..."

Watching Ye Huan draw closer and closer to the bed, Lin Xue shrieked in terror.

"Xixi, hurry up and stop Ye Huan! Quick! Are you just going to watch Xiaoxue get ruined by him?"

Lin Canglan urged Lin Xi.

By this time, Lin Xi had already figured out what Ye Huan was trying to accomplish. He was clearly attempting to force her parents and sister to tell the truth.

Therefore, she played along, saying, "Do you really think I can stop him?"

Those words felt like the final, snapping straw. In an instant, Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue fell into total despair!

"Ye Huan, Ye Huan, no! Don't touch Xiaoxue! She's still just a child. If you want to touch someone, touch me instead..."

Mustering her courage, Li Meiya rushed over to block Ye Huan, pleading with a tearful, panicked voice.

"You're having wishful thinking!"

Without an ounce of courtesy, Ye Huan shoved Li Meiya aside and said with utter contempt.

Though slighted and looked down upon by Ye Huan, Li Meiya had no time to be angry. She blocked his path again, crying in sheer terror as she pleaded,

"Y-y-you, don't take another step forward! I'm begging you to spare Xiaoxue. If you ruin her, her entire life will be over."

"Didn't Lin Xue say that I've already ruined her?" Ye Huan asked coldly.

Throwing her parents' plan to the wind, Lin Xue cried out in panic,

"No, no! I was lying! Brother-in-law, you never ruined me..."

Seeing that Lin Xue was about to turn traitor, Lin Canglan and Li Meiya opened their mouths to stop her, but a second thought crossed their minds: if they didn't let Lin Xue tell the truth, this beast of a man might actually ruin her!

"What is going on here?"

Gazing coldly at Lin Xue, Ye Huan demanded,

"You'd better tell me everything from start to finish, or nobody can save you today."

"I'll talk, I'll talk..."

Terrified out of her wits, Lin Xue no longer dared to hide anything and blurted out quickly,

"Mom and Dad didn't approve of Sis marrying you, but Sis seemed to have a crush on you, and Grandpa admired you a lot. So Mom and Dad came up with a plan: they had me seduce you, frame you for raping me, and make Sis see it with her own eyes. That way, Sis would lose all hope for you and divorce you in a fit of rage..."

Although Lin Xi had already guessed the truth of the matter, listening to Lin Xue recount it still sent a surge of blistering anger straight to her chest.

She turned her gaze toward Lin Canglan and Li Meiya, furious.

"Mom, Dad, to tear Ye Huan and me apart, you really stopped at nothing, didn't you?"

Lin Canglan and Li Meiya lowered their heads with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, Lin Xi found it hard to say anything more. She looked at Ye Huan and said,

"Ye Huan, I apologize to you on behalf of my parents and my sister."

"I won't accept it!"

Ye Huan flatly refused, pretending to be angry as he declared,

"They dared to frame me, so I must break one of each of their legs to vent my anger."

"This..."

Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue were so scared they nearly lost control of their bowels.

They hurriedly cast pleading glances toward Lin Xi.

"Xixi..."

"Xixi..."

"Sister..."

Lin Xi was also taken aback. She hadn't expected Ye Huan to be this furious, so she hurriedly rushed over, threw her arms around him, and pleaded,

"Ye Huan, don't be impulsive. They are my parents and my sister! We've already registered our marriage—they are your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. You can't hurt them."

Being embraced by Lin Xi felt exceptionally wonderful to Ye Huan, but on the surface, he continued to feign rage.

"Hmph, father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law? When have they ever treated me like a son-in-law or a brother-in-law?"

Reacting swiftly, Li Meiya immediately made her stance clear.

"From now on, I will never oppose you and Xixi again."

Lin Canglan chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! We will never oppose you two again. From now on, you're my good son-in-law."

Lin Xue weakly added, "Brother-in-law, actually... I never opposed you and Sis from the very beginning..."

Ye Huan let out a sigh of relief inwardly!

He had finally managed to temporarily subdue his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law!

All that remained was to truly whip them into shape so they would be completely docile and obedient!

Then, he could truly rule the household as a matrilocal son-in-law!

"I'm hungry!" Ye Huan said with a chilling expression.

"I'll go make breakfast right now!" Li Meiya hastily declared.

"I'll go help out in the kitchen!" Lin Canglan added.

Ye Huan smiled with satisfaction!

Seeing this, Lin Xi finally dawned on the truth: all of Ye Huan's previous fury had been an act, designed specifically to scare her parents and sister so thoroughly that they would never dare oppose her and him again.

This guy had far too many tricks up his sleeve!

"Come back to the room with me. I have questions for you!" Lin Xi turned and walked out.

"Oh!" Ye Huan eagerly scrambled to follow her like a puppy.

Once the two of them were back in the bedroom, Lin Xi locked the door from the inside, glared coldly at Ye Huan, and demanded,

"Did you sleep in the bed last night?"

"I slept on the floor the entire time!" Ye Huan replied with a completely straight face.

"Then why were all the buttons on my pajamas undone?" Lin Xi raged.

*Damn it*, amidst all the chaos Lin Xue caused, he had forgotten to button Lin Xi back up... Hardening his scalp, Ye Huan lied,

"Your pectoral muscles are too developed; they popped the buttons open?"

"I'm going to beat you to death, you stinky scumbag!"

In a split second, Lin Xi unleashed her combo technique: a turtle-style punch with her left hand and Nine-Yin White Bone Claws with her right, raining blows down upon Ye Huan's head and face.

Meanwhile, while Ye Huan and Lin Xi were fighting their battle, Demon Ji woke up on the couch while *Empresses in the Palace* was still playing on the television.

"The King didn't come back all night?"

Demon Ji darted upstairs in a flash, rushing into Ye Huan's bedroom. Finding the room empty, she felt deeply aggrieved.

"He promised to reward me with three rounds, why is he breaking his word!"

A second thought crossed her mind: "The King has always kept his promises and would never go back on his word. It must be that little weakling Lin Xi who clung to the King and wouldn't let him come back."

The mere thought of it made Demon Ji tremble with anger.

"Little weakling, you just wait. Sooner or later, I'll slaughter you with my own hands."

When Ye Huan and Lin Xi went down for breakfast, Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue were all utterly shocked.

Lin Xi seemed fine, looking as though she was in quite a good mood.

It was Ye Huan's face that caught their attention—goodness gracious, it was covered in a crisscross network of scratches!

Lin Canglan and Li Meiya immediately felt a wave of gleeful schadenfreude. They could guess with their heels that the scratches on Ye Huan's face must have been inflicted by Lin Xi.

"Good son-in-law, come, sit here!"

Li Meiya enthusiastically pulled out a chair for Ye Huan, inviting him to take a seat.

"Thank you!"

Without standing on ceremony, Ye Huan sat down. He noticed that the breakfast was extremely lavish, featuring rice noodle rolls, barbecued pork buns, glutinous rice chicken, vegetables, fruits, and more.

In front of each person was also a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

"My bowl is a bit too full, I can't finish it all. Let's swap ours!"

Ye Huan swapped his bowl of eight-treasure porridge with Li Meiya's.

"The bowls are the exact same size, no need to swap, really!" Li Meiya hurriedly tried to stop him.

"We've already swapped!"

Ye Huan smiled faintly, picked up his spoon, and began to eat.

Li Meiya sat back down, stared at the bowl of eight-treasure porridge in front of her, and fell into deep contemplation.

Should she eat it or not?

There was a booger in there, how on earth was she supposed to eat this?!

But if she didn't eat it, that pig-killer would definitely suspect that she had tampered with the porridge. What if he lost his temper again?

"Eat up. Why aren't you eating?"

Ye Huan looked at Li Meiya and asked.

"Eating, eating, eating, I'll eat right now, haha..."

Li Meiya picked up her spoon and took a bite.

"Blech..."
