I clenched my fist, but soon let go.

Chi Yu will stand up for me.

Before, when his brothers teased me a bit too much, he would get angry and reprimand them sternly, saying, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking?"

Once, one of his friends looked at me and asked, "Brother Yu, did you make your sister-in-law fat?"

He immediately changed his expression, saying, "What are you talking about?"

His friend was puzzled, "Was my remark out of line?"

"Very much so," he said with a serious face, "Yuexue doesn't like to hear the word 'fat'!"

His friend hurriedly apologized to me.

Chi Yu then embraced me and comforted me, saying, "Yuexue, don't listen to his nonsense. He's blind and can't see that my wife has a perfect figure."

Now Fang Yan is calling me a "bootlicker." With such harsh words, how could he not get angry?

After a moment, Chi Yu spoke up as expected, saying, "Come, let's have a drink!"

A sound of clinking glasses followed.

Toasts were exchanged.

A strong sense of disappointment swept over me.

I felt a mix of emotions.

He didn't utter a word of reproach. Why?

Inside the house, the conversation resumed, "Brother Fang is right, Chen Yue completely grovels before Brother Yu."

These men who usually greet me with smiles and call me "sister-in-law" were actually saying such derogatory things behind my back.

What have I done to Chi Yu to give them such an impression?

"So," Fang Yan laughed, "what's wrong with Brother Yu marrying a bootlicker? She comes whenever he calls, goes away when he dismisses her. It's fun to play with her when he's happy, and if he gets angry, he can kick her away. It's quite a stress reliever, isn't it, guys?"

The men all agreed, "Definitely, there's unlimited fun at night."

Fang Yan continued, "You guys think during the bridal chamber, she will also grovel and serve Brother Yu?"

"Of course! She must!"

"And the groveling posture must be standard."

"Otherwise, she won't be allowed to sleep and will be tormented all night."

"Hahaha..."

The group burst into malicious and lewd laughter.

Fang Yan laughed the loudest.
