All along, Chen Fangjie felt that he wasn't the most clever type of person.
He did things by the book, with a certain steadiness and grace, earning praise and affection from the clan elders. Even the two ancestors in the family favored him quite a bit.
But for some reason, ever since he got involved with his future brother-in-law Wang Shouzhe, that innate cleverness seemed to jump out of him.
There was no other way because Shouzhe always set traps for him to fall into. If he didn't force out some cleverness, he would have long been tricked terribly.
This brat didn't even give him a heads-up before arranging for Ancestor Longyan to be there.
Ancestor Longyan glanced at him up and down and said calmly, "You have a silver tongue. You'll need Miss Luoyi to properly discipline you later, stand up."
Chen Fangjie smiled wryly; in his twenty or so years of life, it was his first time being described as having a silver tongue. Shouzhe, oh Shouzhe, you've really set me up badly.
