Bab 17: Living with the In-Laws

After a long while, the Earl of Xuanwu finally calmed down and asked, "This matter about the Zhu Family seeking to marry is a secret, and even I am unaware of it; how did you know about this? From whose mouth did you hear it from?"

That's right. Everyone's gaze landed back on Shen Lang. With his lowly status, how did he find out about a big secret like this?

Shen Lang replied, "The new fiance of the Xu family's daughter, Zhang Pu!"

"Zhang Pu?" The Earl of Xuanwu asked, "The new leader of Xuanwu City's guards?"

"Yes, that's him," Shen Lang replied, "I had married into the Xu family previously when Xu Qianqian chased me out of their house; her new fiance, Zhang Pu, said that he wants to host their wedding as soon as possible since Zhu Hongxue wishes to seek your blessing to marry your daughter, Jin Mulan. He thought I was a moron and let it slip, but he also reminded Xu Qianqian not to leak this information."
