Yangzhumie City, Protectorate.
In the main hall, Guan Yu and his wife Cha Shuchen sat at the head of the group, looking like elders, looking intently at a letter; judging from the paper and the handwriting, it was obviously the letter written by Zhou Ran himself, which was presented to Li Wenqi by Wang and Yu.
In the hall, sitting on the left was Qi Miaoge; opposite Qi Miaoge was Li Wenyi, both of them had anxious looks on their faces.
When something happens to your husband, as a wife, how can you not be anxious
Qi Miaoge was 120 percent anxious. After all, she and Zhou Ran had a deep affection for each other and were deeply in love with each other. They were even more inseparable after their marriage. If it weren't for the moral principles of sharing the love and care of each other equally, they would have been together almost every day.
As for Li Wenyi, she was also 110% anxious. No matter what, that was still her husband. The marriage was arranged by three matchmakers and nine proposals, and was personally agreed by her eldest brother. They had entered into the marriage with the intention of living together in harmony and growing old together. How could it be treated as a joke
At first, she really didn't look at Zhou Ran, and even felt a little helpless and aggrieved about getting married; but after two or three months of getting along with him, she got to know this man better.
Zhou Ran is not handsome, but he is a henpecked man;
Zhou Ran didn't have strong skills, but he was very steady in his actions;
Zhou Ran does not hold a high position, but he is extremely intelligent... ... .
The first point alone is enough to attract countless women of this era, not to mention that he has so many advantages. It has to be said that he is a rare husband, a gift from heaven, so how could one not love him.
However, Zhou Ran was sometimes very cunning and sometimes very dull. Li Wenyi didn't let him into the house, so he just slept in the study room obediently. He slept there for two or three months, which almost made Li Wenyi vomit blood.
That’s because Li Wenyi doesn’t quite understand the importance of face to a man.
As the eldest wife, Qi Miaoge has the historical responsibility of continuing the Zhou family's bloodline. How could she dominate Zhou Ran alone
Naturally, she would urge her husband to visit Li Wenyi more often; but Zhou Ran was turned away by Li Wenyi on the first day, so she had no face to go back to Qi Miaoge, so she had to sleep in the study room obediently.
After receiving the letter, Li Wenyi realized that something was wrong; she then found Qi Miaoge and honestly confessed her fault. The two sisters decided to go to their master to take charge of the situation.
Guan Yu and his wife finally finished reading the heavenly book. Although there were only a dozen words, it really consumed hundreds of millions of brain cells. After much guessing, they finally determined the content of the letter.
This only shows that both of them have been in high positions for a long time and have never seen such twisted and unbearable letters. Look at Wang Zhixing and Yu Cuiwei, they guessed it in a quarter of an hour. Being at the bottom of society can indeed help them practice some skills, such as distinguishing ghost paintings, which is an example.
"Miao Ge, Wen Yi, is there any problem with this letter?" After understanding the meaning of the letter, Cha Shuchen asked curiously.
In her opinion, the letter sent back by her husband's beloved apprentice simply meant that he had too much sex and couldn't stand up after drinking some wine, so someone was needed to pick him up. What was the big deal? Young people like to have fun, and there were not just one or two such people.
Even she and Guan Yu, if it weren't for the sudden visit of her disciple's wife, would probably be fighting on the top of the cloud to see who is the better.
When she saw the master's wife asking questions, Qi Miaoge's pretty face turned cold and she glared at Li Wenyi fiercely, obviously wanting her to come out and explain. Qi Miaoge was straightforward by nature and she was Zhou Ran's legal wife, so Li Wenyi naturally could not ignore her anger.
Seeing Qi Miaoge's eyes, Li Wenyi quickly stood up, bowed to Guan and Cha, and immediately explained: "Master's wife, although this letter only has a dozen words, it is a big problem."
"Hmm?"
After Li Wenyi said this, not only Cha Shuchen became curious, but even Guan Yu frowned. The couple looked at Li Wenyi leisurely, waiting for her explanation.
“Master, Madam Master, actually, actually…” When it comes to private matters, Li Wenyi naturally finds it difficult to speak.
Qi Miaoge, who was standing by, saw that the younger sister was hesitant, fearing that it would delay the rescue of Zhou Ran, so he immediately said, "Master, Master's wife, the three of us have been married for two or three months, but in these two or three months, your husband has never once slept with Sister Wen Yi..."
Before she could finish her words, Guan Yu and his wife were furious. Guan Yu stood up and roared, "How dare this bastard treat Wen Yi's disciple-in-law like this? When he comes back, I'll see how I'll deal with him..."
"It's not like that." Before Guan Yu finished speaking, Li Wenyi spoke anxiously. At the same time, two lines of tears flowed down involuntarily. She regretted, "It's me, it's me, it's all my fault..."
Her expression obviously aroused the suspicion of Guan Yu and his wife. Guan Yu was stunned and didn't know what to say. The couple just stared at Li Wenyi with confusion on their faces.
But Qi Miaoge, who knew the inside story, had a clear mind. However, when she saw Li Wenyi's pitiful appearance, the only trace of dissatisfaction she had disappeared instantly.
Before Li Wenyi could finish her words, Qi Miaoge said, "My dear sister, there are some things you don't have to say. If your husband can return safely this time, you can talk to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Miaoge immediately turned around and looked at Guan Yunchang and Cha Shuchen, and said earnestly: "Master, Master's wife, as for who to blame, it doesn't matter now; besides, this is also a private matter between us juniors, we will naturally handle it, and dare not trouble the two elders to worry about it."
"The most important thing now is that my husband may have been held hostage. We must immediately think of a way to rescue him."
"From the beginning of the letter, the line 'Last night was a beautiful night, and I enjoyed myself for a while', it seems that my husband was helpless and wrote this intentionally to remind us to be careful."
"Ever since we got married, my husband has not been able to climb into sister Wen Yi's bed. Is this statement impossible at all?" Qi Miaoge explained with solid reasoning and thorough analysis.
Then, she continued, "The other party specifically asked Sister Wen Yi to go. From my perspective, they either want to deal with my husband or Sister Wen Yi, so we came here to ask the two elders for help."
I have to say that Qi Miaoge really is from a family of heroes. Once it comes to scheming and intrigue, she can immediately analyze it clearly. This is her nature.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu and Cha Shuchen looked at their disciple's wife with even higher regard; you know, Guan and Cha were not simple characters either, and they could tell at a glance whether Qi Miaoge's analysis was fair or not.
Although they didn't know who was holding Zhou Ran hostage, Guan Yu and Cha Shuchen thought that the other party's target was most likely Li Wenyi; otherwise, there would be no need for the other party to force Zhou Ran to write a letter to Li Wenyi and ask her to go and welcome Zhou Ran back.
After realizing this, Cha Shuchen's beautiful eyes turned and she immediately said, "That's easy, Wen Yi."
From Qi Miaoge's analysis, Li Wenyi also realized that the other party's target was most likely herself; in this way, it was her husband Zhou Ran who invisibly protected her from the disaster.
Feeling emotional, she heard the Master's wife calling her, and she quickly responded, "Master's wife, my disciple's wife is here. I wonder if Master's wife has anything to say to you?"
Cha Shuchen's beautiful eyes sparkled, and he looked directly at Li Wenyi and said, "If my guess is correct, then the other party's target is most likely you, or something on your body."
"In this case, we can't be sure whether the other party knows you. To be safe, you must go there. I wonder if you are willing to do so."
After all, Zhou Ran is Guan Yu's disciple, so by that count, he is also Cha Shuchen's disciple. Disciples of ancient people, especially the founding disciples, are generally treated as their own children.
When Cha Shuchen asked this, he also wanted to find out Li Wenyi's feelings. No master's wife would want her disciple's wife to not pay attention to her own disciple, and Cha Shuchen was no exception.
Li Wenyi immediately understood the deep meaning of the other party's words, but she was also a virtuous woman, otherwise, she would not have taken revenge on Zhou Ran immediately regardless of the occasion in Duan Qiuqian's mansion.
Now that she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she will naturally not leave her husband alone. Therefore, after hearing this, Li Wenyi immediately said resolutely: "Master, rest assured, if I can save my husband, I will not hesitate to die."
Li Wenyi's words made Guan Yu and Cha Shuchen look at each other, both of them showing a look of relief.
Feeling relieved, Cha Shuchen continued, "It should be quite normal for you to go to the woods designated by the other party and bring two servant girls with you, right?"
"When something happens to my disciple, as my master's wife, I naturally cannot ignore it. My master's wife and the Holy Maiden of the Wushen Cult, Long Jia, will disguise themselves as two little girls and stay with you. Your master will also go there secretly. When the time comes, we will act according to the situation and save Zhou Ran in one fell swoop."
There is no point for other people to follow Shuchen's suggestion. It is most appropriate to use it at this moment to defeat the enemy and mix the good with the bad.
As for Yunchang and Cha Shuchen, two masters from the Tianxuan Realm, what do Qi Miaoge and Li Wenyi have to fear
Based on Guan Yu's cultivation level in the Shi Ran realm, this arrangement was the safest way, and there was no reason for the two women not to accept it.
After the plan was decided, Cha Shuchen immediately sent someone to inform Long Jia; since the leader of the Wushen Cult, Madam Yang Liuye, became the wife of Li Tianfu, she had completely changed from a supreme ruler to a clingy little wife.
Li Tianfu returned to Longhu Mountain to seize his master's inheritance. This beauty didn't even want to be the leader anymore, so she let the saint Longjia take full control of the Wushen Sect. She herself, like a married man, followed Li Tianfu to Sichuan to help.
Cha Shuchen invited Long Jia to go because Long Jia was good at witchcraft. Witchcraft can be used silently and hard to guard against, which is definitely a killer weapon to rescue Zhou Ran.
In less than an hour, the Protectorate made arrangements. A carriage carrying the three ladies headed straight for the grove outside the city. That was the exchange location chosen by Wang Zhixing and Yu Cuiwei.
