In the late years of the Daqian era, tyrants roamed freely, war erupted endlessly, and the people could not sustain their lives. 
After transmigration, Chen Jie finds himself as a drunken gambler with a pair of unfortunate sisters at home.

The elder one, Su Yunjin, is his wife, and he also has a five-year-old sister-in-law, Su Yunrui. 
Their family is so poor they can barely make ends meet. 
Then suddenly, his beautiful wife comes smiling, bringing him a bowl of hot porridge. 
"Husband, I was wrong yesterday. Please have some porridge while it's hot."
Seeing the bruises on his wife's face, Chen Jie feels something is amiss.

Ding~
[Daily Information has been updated]
[1. Yesterday, you gambled away the last three acres of good land, beat Su Yunjin while drunk, and planned to sell the five-year-old Su Yunrui, to recover your losses.]
[2. The Su sisters rely on each other. Su Yunrui is Su Yunjin's only hope.]
[3. Su Yunjin, having lost hope, traded her mother's hairpin three days ago for a pack of arsenic.]

...Arsenic!
Staring at the hot porridge brought to his lips, Chen Jie looks up at his wife, seeing the faint bruise on her face and her eyes shifting away, avoiding his gaze.

"Honey!"
"Yes?"
"You didn't really drugged me, did you?"

Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?

Nan Batian raised his glass, and Liu Laoguai laughed heartily, "Of course."


Peng Shizhong frowned but didn't speak much. However, Nan Batian said, "Elder Brother, if this matter succeeds, White Tiger Hall won't be busy for nothing. I'll give White Tiger Hall thirty percent of Nan Lake's salt production each year."


Hearing this, everyone from White Tiger Hall's eyes lit up—what a deal!


Thirty percent of Nan Lake's production—that was a hefty sum of Silver.


Thinking this, everyone looked expectantly at Peng Shizhong.


Peng Shizhong nodded slightly, accepting the offer.


The drinking had come to this point, and the two big shots had no further thoughts. They stood up and left.


After a noisy and bustling afternoon, the banquet concluded.


Then, Peng Shizhong called everyone to the Council Hall and began, "You've probably heard about the Nan Lake situation. So, next we might need to prepare for a possible clash with the Beggar Sect."
