"That's it?" As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Zheng Chong shouted, "It's all right if she doesn't want her to die, just give the head a face, why don't she even abolish her cultivation? Just drive out a teacher and let her go back Do you want to be a young lady?"
Wen Zhangyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Zheng, don't be impulsive. Of course, expulsion from the master will abolish your cultivation. This is a common practice, so my nephew didn't say anything." He wanted to be vague, but he didn't expect Zheng Chong to be so shameless.
"That's all." Zheng Chong nodded, knowing that the Zhou family's retreat is almost enough, and it is impossible to kill them all in a short time. "This matter is over, and my old man will go back. It doesn't hinder your business."
After finishing speaking, he said casually: "By the way, my incompetent apprentice finally lost his mind. In a few days, I want to serve him a drink, so as to get rid of the bad luck of the past few years. Master Nephews, remember to come!"
He waved his sleeves and left.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Some are unbelievable, and some are suddenly enlightened.
No wonder, Zheng Chong, an old guy, was never used to listening to others. At the beginning, Yutai's lineage wooed him, but he ignored him, but this time he suddenly took a clear stand on Lu Mingshu's side. It really happened for a reason.
Kuai Xin lost his mind? The fact that he got Lu Mingshu's secret book had already been inquired about by others. Many people were waiting to see the result, but they never expected that the result would appear so quickly. Is it really the function of the secret book
Thinking of Lu Mingshu's sword just now, I don't know how many people's hearts are burning.
It seems that she really got a certain secret biography outside, if she can get it...
"I'm going back too. Master needs someone to take care of him." An Tongchen arched his hand, then turned to Lu Mingshu and said, "If there's something wrong, call someone to Liulinju to call Master Uncle."
"Thank you, Uncle An." Lu Mingshu thanked him politely.
An Tongchen smiled, and walked out of the hall of the already demolished Jingyiyuan with his hands behind his back.
By now, the play should have come to an end, and people have left one after another.
Seeing that Lu Mingshu was also planning to leave, Yin Hong was not annoyed, and said, "Martial nephew Lu, you just demolished the Jingyiyuan, don't you need compensation?"
Lu Mingshu turned sideways and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Before she could say anything, Wen Zhangyuan hurriedly said: "It's okay, Jingyiyuan is ready to be repaired, and Nephew Lu has demolished it just right, just right..."
Cursing secretly in his heart, this Yin Hong really doesn't know what to say. Don't you know what's going on right now, and you still want to pay compensation? Do you think she's taken too lightly
…
In Qiongyu Palace, Zhou Miao's face sank like water.
"Mother, mother, save me!" Fu Mingxi burst into tears, and rushed over to hug her leg.
Zhou Miaoru remained motionless.
Fu Shangqing came in from the outside, Fu Mingxi saw it, and rushed over again: "Daddy, Daddy! I don't want my cultivation to be abolished, please help me!"
"Save you? How to save you?" He finally responded.
Fu Mingxi raised his head and said eagerly: "You are the master, as long as you say a word..."
Fu Shangqing sighed, looked down at her: "Mingxi."
"Daddy!" Fu Mingxi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, trying his best to show his pity, begging for his mercy.
Fu Shangqing's voice was soft and full of affection: "If you don't want to go to Zhou's house, then daddy will buy you a house in Jiuluzhou. Or, you can go to Dongyue if you want, it's daddy's hometown after all."
Fu Mingxi stared at her father with wide eyes, making sure that he was not lying, she fell to the ground as if she had lost all strength.
At this moment, she suddenly understood Lu Mingshu's feelings back then. Daddy's attitude is always so impeccable, while saying warm words, while doing merciless things.
He obviously gave up on her and was not going to save her, yet he said it so lovingly. How she wished that her father could slap her at this time, scold her severely, saying that she did something wrong, which meant that he hadn't given up on her. But no, he didn't even want to scold. His pity is his pity for the condemned prisoner who is about to go to the guillotine—it has no effect except expressing his own warmth.
"Don't think about Jiuyao Palace anymore. Isn't your aunt living well now? If you are willing, Dad will find you a prince and grandson in Dongyue. Ordinary people have the world of ordinary people, and they can enjoy it to the fullest." Prosperity and wealth."
Fu Mingxi closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. Mortals have their own world, so she will be just a mortal from now on.
She heard footsteps, it was Dad leaving. He walked so heartlessly, without any hesitation, as if he had never loved her.
"Help Miss get up." Zhou Miaoru sighed.
Fu Mingxi was lifted up by the maid, but his whole body was so weak from crying that he couldn't even stand still.
Zhou Miaoru took the handkerchief from the maid and slowly wiped Fu Mingxi's face.
"Mother..."
Zhou Miaoru whispered while wiping: "Did you hear what your father said just now?"
Fu Mingxi choked and couldn't speak.
"His words were obviously talking about you, but he was actually warning my mother!"
Fu Mingxi was taken aback, seeing the indifference on his mother's face, he was confused: "Mother..."
Aren't parents always very affectionate? Why does mother have such an expression when she mentions father? And a warning...
"Ordinary people have a world of ordinary people, haha," Zhou Miaoru smiled, "He thinks I care too much! Sure enough, the wings are stiff."
"Mother!" Fu Mingxi asked anxiously, "You... what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? You don't really think that parents and husbands love each other deeply, do you?" Zhou Miaoru's voice was mocking.
Fu Mingxi was confused, wasn't he
"Mingxi, mother is having a hard time supporting her!" Zhou Miaoru said softly, treating her daughter as someone to confide in, "Back then, your grandfather went berserk and cut off his future, and the Zhou family couldn't find a suitable heir, so he happened to meet your father. Knowing that he already had a wife, he still married for the sake of the Zhou family and his mother. Finally, your father successfully entered the trance, took over as the head, and got through this difficult time."
"You only know that the Zhou family has a great reputation, but do you know where it comes from? There is only one ecstasy left in the Zhou family, and that is your second grandfather, but he has not accomplished enough and failed. Other than that Besides, there are three priests—although they are surnamed Zhou, they are not from the blood of the Zhou family. The others are either in-laws or disciples, or they are dependents."
"Why do you think they listen to the Zhou family? It's not because of their mother's ability, but the wealth and connections accumulated by the Zhou family for generations. For my mother, try to balance all aspects of the relationship and let them check and balance each other, so that they can barely keep the Zhou family. Status. However, this world respects martial arts, without cultivation, it is extremely difficult to do things."
Her authority comes from the accumulation of several generations of the Zhou family, and from Fu Shangqing, her husband. However, no matter how rich the Zhou family's accumulation is, without successors, they will still slowly lose their authority. Fu Shangqing became more and more unwilling to be a puppet, and the speed of losing was even faster.
She looked at her daughter's dazed face: "It's like today, they can all speak loudly, but their mothers can't."
"Do you know now? Mother can't save you, and she has to clean up the mess you left behind."
