Song Dynasty Dreams: Marrying Zhao Pan'er at the beginning-Chapter 19 - Brother-in-Law, You’re No Good

Chapter 19 Brother-in-Law, You’re No Good

Zhao Pan’er had suspected it too but didn’t dare believe it. Had Gao You really risked everything to fight a vicious black dog just because she was frightened?

That was an incredibly fierce beast—Even a trained fighter would struggle against it, risking serious injury.

How did he dare?

Just imagining Gao You battling the dog stirred something deep within her heart.

“Are you touched?”

Sun Sanniang teased with a grin.

Zhao Pan’er nodded.

But moments later, she sighed.

Sun Sanniang was puzzled.

“You have such a devoted husband. What are you sighing for?”

Zhao Pan’er frowned.

“Gao Lang cares about me deeply, and I’m moved.”

“But he’s too reckless!”

“If Ouyang Xu hadn’t happened to be there today—”

“If Gao Lang hadn’t cleverly shifted the blame, he would have been thrown in jail!”

Hearing this, Song Yinzhan and the others looked worried as well.

“I don’t think Gao You was unprepared.”

Sun Sanniang pointed at the painting Zhao Pan’er was holding.

“What did he give you?”

Zhao Pan’er unrolled it and found a drawing of the vicious dog attacking people—along with a note.

For once, Gao You had actually written something down, briefly explaining the situation.

Xiao Lingdang frowned.

“What does Brother-in-law mean by this?”

After reading it carefully, Zhao Pan’er relayed his plan to the others.

“My goodness!”

Sun Sanniang’s worldview shattered again. “Gao You really isn’t stupid at all!”

“Maybe he just doesn’t like talking or socializing!”

So he had everything planned from the start!

Zhao Pan’er felt a deep sense of relief.

“Gao Lang has a simple heart, but he’s far from dumb.”

“From now on, none of you are allowed to call him a fool!”

Xiao Lingdang giggled.

“I promise I won’t!”

Sun Sanniang smirked.

“Even if you do, I bet one day Gao You will make you pay for it.”

“Just look at Ouyang Xu—he’s a prime example!”

Thinking of how Ouyang Xu had been utterly humiliated, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

Gao You didn’t understand what was so amusing to women. Looking at the shimmering water, he decided to fetch a fishing rod and try his luck by the river. Zhao’s Teahouse was right by the water. He didn’t even need to leave the courtyard—just set up a reclining chair and begin.

Time passed slowly, he caught nothing. Instead, he dozed off. Spring faded into early summer, and the temperature gradually rose. Before long, sweat began to bead on Gao You’s forehead.

Seeing this, Zhao Pan’er walked over with a round fan and gently fanned him.vThe soft breeze carried away the heat. Gao You’s furrowed brows relaxed. Inside the teahouse, Yinping leaned on the railing, watching the two of them.

“They look so happy together.”

“If only life could stay this way forever.”

Xiao Lingdang frowned.

“If he sleeps any longer, it’ll be dark!”

“Sleeping outside at night will give him a stroke!”

She exaggeratedly mimicked a stroke victim, making Yinping laugh.

After her laughter faded, Yinping continued admiring the scene. The two of them, a beautiful and talented couple, seemed made for each other. Even if they did nothing at all, she felt like she could just watch them all day.

“What’s so interesting about that?”

Xiao Lingdang didn’t understand the joy of shipping.

“Fairy Sister?”

Gao You mumbled in his sleep as he stirred. Hearing him suddenly call her that, Zhao Pan’er froze. Even the fan in her hand stopped moving. So in his heart, he really thought of her as a fairy?

As his mind cleared, Gao You remembered he had transmigrated and that the woman in front of him was his wife, Zhao Pan’er. His wife was truly beautiful.

Even from this unflattering, up-angled perspective, she was flawless. Realizing he was staring, Zhao Pan’er grew shy and was about to leave.

But Gao You suddenly whined, “Wife, it’s so hot…”

Was he really making her keep fanning him?

Seeing his puppy-eyed look, Zhao Pan’er blushed but returned to her seat. A gentle breeze brushed over him. Gao You sighed in contentment. His life felt complete.

That evening, Song Yinzhan entered Zhao’s Teahouse, carrying her pipa. As soon as she set it down, she hurried over to Gao You and peered into his water bucket.

“As expected, not a single fish!”

She turned to him with a smug, mocking expression.

“Brother-in-law, you’re no good at this!”

No good?

Did that term really apply to him?

Gao You’s competitive spirit ignited.

“I’m good!”

“No, you’re not.”

Song Yinzhan waved a finger, then pointed at the empty bucket.

“A whole afternoon—”

“Completely empty.”

“Even a three-year-old could stick a twig in the water and catch more fish than you!”

Gao You held up one finger.

“One fish, one song.”

Song Yinzhan tilted her head.

“You mean, if you catch a fish, I’ll play a song on the pipa?”

Gao You nodded.

Song Yinzhan’s interest piqued.

“That’s not a fair bet!”

“If you don’t catch anything, there’s no punishment for you!”

“If you want to gamble, show some sincerity—if you fail, you’ll have to recite Zhong Li Xun Ta Qian Bai Du in full!”

“I know you wrote it!”

Gao You smirked confidently and turned to Zhao Pan’er.

“Wife, be my witness!”

“Alright.”

Zhao Pan’er nodded and moved closer to the water.
