Even Chen Fangjie admired, saying: “I didn’t expect that Shouzhe has some poetic talent, even stronger than mine.”
Suddenly!
Liu Yuanrui, with a solemn expression, stopped everyone and said, “Everyone, wait.”
“Huh?” All eyes fell on Liu Yuanrui. “Yuanrui, you cannot be serious. My brother-in-law’s poem is already pretty good, are you still going to give him a hard time?”
Liu Ruolei glared at him resentfully: “Yuanrui, don’t go too far.”
“Don’t misunderstand, don’t misunderstand.” Liu Yuanrui hastily surrendered, “The poem by my brother-in-law is indeed not bad, but I think it lacks something. Brother-in-law, isn’t there another half to this poem?”
The other half?
Everyone was stunned. Yuanrui seemed to have a point. The poem felt incomplete, as if it was begging for more.
All eyes were now focused on Wang Shouzhe.
Wang Shouzhe did not put on airs and continued to recite the second half of the poem: “I fear my delicate wife may ride the wind and leave, falsely claiming a chill in heaven’s chambers.”

Everyone could feel something, all of them were drawn into the emotional state of my brother-in-law. Imagine a palace guard who, after waiting for countless years, was finally able to marry a goddess. This was naturally a great joy.
However, he was afraid that his beloved wife would one day ascend to heaven. So, he lied to her, saying that heaven was not a good place, showcasing his fear.
“Good, good! ‘I fear my delicate wife may ride the wind and leave, falsely claiming a chill in heaven’s chambers.’” Liu Yuanrui was cheering him on.
The others also followed suit.
Then, Wang Shouzhe recited the long-prepared final line: “Holding hands with our children, eyes misty with longing, praying for eternal rest under the same pillow!”
With the final words pronounced:
Everyone was stunned. They could all see the image of brother-in-law Wang Shouzhe, holding the hands of his children, eyes filled with tears, as he unwillingly watched the goddess prepare to ascend to the heavens. He even brought his yet-to-be-born children into the equation, was there no limit to his shamelessness?
The final line was even more shameless! Praying for eternal rest under the same pillow.
Was it not enough for him to marry his sister this lifetime, he wanted to marry her for ten thousand lifetimes? Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!
As evidenced from the poem:
The Goddess of Immortal Palace cherishes life
Standing guard before the palace through long nights
Cycles of epoch turn again and again
Finally in the mortal world, their lives intertwine
I fear my delicate wife may ride the wind and leave
Falsely claim a chill in heaven’s chambers
Holding hands with our children, eyes misty with longing
Praying for eternal rest under the same pillow
Everyone fell silent. Although the poem was no earth-shattering masterpiece, the theme for today was to praise Sister Ruolan in the most flattering manner possible.
There was no doubt that Liu Yuanrui’s praise was very charming and reflected a deep sense of feeling.
But brother-in-law’s poem…
This was not merely praise anymore.
This was flattery.
Coupled with the fact they were husband and wife, the flattery was tactful, smooth, and natural. Brother-in-law was indeed a rare genius.
“Sigh-” Chen Fangjie, with his hands behind his back, looked up to the heavens and sighed deeply, “I thought I was unrivaled in the art of flattery. But compared to Shouzhe, I am as different as mud and clouds. I submit! I admire!”
“Whimper-” Liu Yuanshan started sobbing, heart-broken.
“Brother Yuanshan, why are you crying?”
“I understand now.”
“Brother Yuanshan, what have you realised?”
“I understand why I’m still single.”
“Brother Yuanshan, since you have understood, there is still hope. Keep going!”
“There’s no hope for me.” With tears streaming down his face, Liu Yuanshan ran off, yelling out in despair, “Because I can never write such shameless, cheesy poetry…whimper- ” His figure disappeared into the distance, his cries gradually fading away.
Watching his retreating figure, everyone couldn’t help but sigh, “Brother Yuanshan, the reason you can’t get a wife is not merely because you can’t write such poetry.”
Then, everyone admired brother-in-law Wang Shouzhe. They could never create such boot-licking poetry.
Especially the young aunts, they began to find pen and paper, blushing as they copied down the poem. Even though the poem was not about them, reading it over every night was a pleasant sensation.
Holding hands with our children, eyes misty with longing, praying for eternal rest under the same pillow.
Brother-in-law is so bad, hehe-
Even Liu Yuanrui bowed respectfully to Wang Shouzhe: “Brother-in-law, I admit defeat.”
“Hehe- don’t mind it, don’t mind it. Yuanrui, you are still young.” Wang Shouzhe, with a thick face, patted his shoulder and said seriously, “Once you grow up, your skills will certainly be no less than mine.”
“Hey, where’s Ruolei? She seemed quite spirited earlier, how come she’s vanished? I was hoping she could guide the way.”
“Forget it, forget it! Let’s hand out the red envelopes.”
Once again, a whole box of red envelopes was being offered to younger uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and all the other young ones.
“My brothers, join me to fetch the bride.” Wang Shouzhe waved his hand, with the Wang family members answering in unison. Everyone marched to the backyard, full of energy.
The three challenges have been passed, and beautifully so. Red envelopes were generously given out, naturally, no one was going to stop them now.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhe was heading towards the backyard.
The young maid Qiao’er had already reported back with the poem. Her speed was exceptionally fast, coming and going like the wind.
Alongside her was Liu Ruolei, voicing her discontent, “Brother-in-law is so bad. Not only does he want to marry my sister this lifetime, but he also fantasizes about being together with sister for eternity. Greedy.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look at her.
