Chen Cheng was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, shooting a sidelong glance at Night Owl Xiao Guzi.
The strange bird seemed a little guilty. It peeked at Chen Cheng before hurriedly diving into its nest in the bushes.
Then, a faint cooing sound drifted out, but it was clear that more than just Xiaoguzi was cooing!
"You little rascal, you even know how to bring a wife home on the sly!"
Sensing the presence of another Night Owl, Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh as he strode toward the Vermilion Bird Courtyard.
The Vermilion Bird Courtyard was rather quiet. A few red lanterns, decorated with the character for joy, cast a soft glow.
Liu Ruolan was standing at the entrance to the main residence. When she saw Chen Cheng walk in, a faint blush crept onto her face. She quickly lowered her head to bow, calling out shyly in a soft voice,
"Master-in-law."
'Master-in-law?' Chen Cheng paused, taken aback. 'What kind of title is that?'
