wife master

Chapter 247
Shao Shui adjusted the veil on his face, stepped out of a small blue sedan chair, stepped across the threshold, and turned into an inconspicuous courtyard.This courtyard is located in the backstreet of the temple of descendants, which is full of incense. It is relatively secluded. There is an elegant fasting room in the courtyard for the male relatives of wealthy families to rest temporarily.

It wasn't the first time for Passing Water to come to this yard. He rented a fixed room here, and every time he prayed and burnt incense, he would rest in the room for a while and have some refreshments and vegetarian meals.

Almost all the people living in the back street of the Temple of Successors are men, most of them are ex-sage boys who have retired and cannot get married and are helpless.To put it simply, this is a place to take in the disadvantaged groups of society through the light of the Temple of the Descendants.On weekdays, these people do odd jobs for the descendants of the temple, and some are quick-witted, tidy up a clean vegetarian room, cook some delicious dishes, and entertain the rich men's family members.

The so-called holy child is a profession that is closely related to the birth of this world.

If a man and a woman in this world want to have offspring, the man must take the fetal fruit.The fetal fruit is formed by the sacred tree enshrined in the descendant temple. The sacred tree must be watered with the blood of a virgin, worshiped and prayed devoutly before it can be born.Therefore, a group of virgin boys will be supported in the descendant temple, called holy boys.The holy boy used his own blood to support the sacred tree and performed the ritual of giving birth to the fetus.

Using fresh blood to give birth to fetal fruit consumes a lot of the body, and often makes the holy child lose his fertility and impair his lifespan.Therefore, holy children will retire after serving in general, receive certain financial compensation, and return to the civilian population.As a saint child, he had no worries about food and clothing, and enjoyed generous incense offerings. Once he retired, he would be considered short-lived and infertile, and very few of them could actually marry.In view of this situation, only poor families will choose to keep their daughters when they cannot support too many children, and send the boy to the successor temple to be a holy child, and then break the relationship with the family.It's better than being reduced to a barn and getting dirty.

In fact, there is not much difference in the final outcome of the unmarried holy boy and the outdated prostitute in the Fengyue place.In this backstreet, no one cares about who is more beautiful than the other. The same poor and helpless people take care of each other and support this remaining life.

After Shao Shui sat with a cup of tea in the fasting room, the person he wanted to meet finally arrived.

This person's superficial identity is an outdated prostitute, because he was an official slave and couldn't redeem himself, so he used his savings to borrow the name of the owner of the brothel to buy a small house on this street, and hired a retired soldier who was excellent at cooking. Shengtong specially entertains some male guests.Usually he doesn't come here, so as not to be despised by others and affect the business.But it was his acquaintance who invited him here today.

Passing Water saw the Lord, sent away the idlers in the house, and then smiled slightly: "Emissary Lian, it's really not easy to see you. Is your business in Yihong Pavilion still booming?"

Miao Lian didn't care about the ridicule in Passing Water's words, she took a seat opposite her generously, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Now I should call you Yugui's family? Are you not afraid that the matter of my private meeting with you will be known by the Lord?" ? I can also tell your master about this."

"A Li's daughter is in my hands, I guess you don't want to make Ali feel sad, and there are many ways to hide it from His Highness the Fifth Highness." Passing Water said confidently, "Besides, my business this time should be of great help to the Fifth Highness. .”

Miaolian suppressed her anger and asked back: "Then why don't you go directly to see the Lord?"

"The Fifth Highness is suspicious. I have concealed my true position before, and I am afraid that she will not believe me again, so I first consulted with you to express my good intentions."

Miao Lian laughed and said, "How do you know that I will believe you? You are obviously working for the Lord, but you were only ordered to be an undercover agent when you were with the Lord. You have deceived the Lord. Do you think the Lord will not be jealous?" ?”

Passing Water said confidently: "I asked myself that when I was with her, I never did anything that harmed her interests, and I also helped her plan and cultivate a group of cronies. The deal I'm going to talk about now is very sincere, and the difficulties ahead I have done everything myself, and I have taken the biggest risk, which is very beneficial to her. You know that she liked me at the beginning, but I couldn't help her, and now it is my compensation and a little heart .”

"Then what benefits do you want?" Miao Lian asked puzzled, "You have married into a noble family, and you control the power of the family indistinctly. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Do you really want to do things that men shouldn't do?"

Passing Water's eyes flashed brightly, and he said persistently: "The position of the head of the Gui family has been occupied by capable people since ancient times, and it is not that there has never been a man in charge before. Why should I back down? I just want to fight for this. They thought they used some tricks If you marry me, can I give up? I want them to beg me to go back and treat me like a god. If His Royal Highness is willing to cooperate with me this time, I will help her realize her wish. What I want is to wait for her to take the throne Then allow me to be the head of the Gui family. This is not difficult for her, right?"

"A married man is a member of his wife's family. How can he return to his natal family to inherit the family business? Moreover, your wife-lord will most likely become the new favorite in the court, holding the military power. Maybe she will also own the Yu family's family business in the future. After the master takes over We will definitely not allow your two great families to have too close a relationship."

Passing Water said in a deep voice: "This is exactly the point I want to say. I can relieve His Highness Fifth Highness from a major worry, and ensure that my wife-head will not have a chance at Yu's family business, and will also throw away military power. Second Highness is currently in a coma due to poisoning. , His Majesty's position as the princess is getting stronger and stronger. Don't you worry about the Fifth Highness? Looking at the overall situation, if my wife-lord takes advantage of the victory and sends troops to the south, the grand plan of the Holy Majesty will be realized in a short time. At that time, what the Holy Majesty needs is a benevolence The good and orthodox heir protects the world she has gained. The talent and disposition of the Fifth Highness may be useless, and instead leave unstable factors to bring disaster to her. But if the Second Highness returns to life, my Wife Lord will be there for some reason Unable to command the army, the princess has lost her virtue, and the southern front line is tight, so the situation can be reversed, right?"

Miaolian gasped, looking at the passing water hesitantly, feeling perplexed.Shishui's talent and methods have never been inferior to women's, and his ideal pursuit is completely different from most men in this world.Miaolian couldn't understand him, but what he said would indeed have a strong appeal to the fifth princess.He probed further: "What method do you use to revive the second highness who was poisoned by poison? Can your wife really be at your mercy? How could the Yu family allow you, a little concubine's side-husband, to stir up trouble?" storm?"

Passing water said confidently: "I have been in the Yu family for so long, so naturally I have an alliance. Everyone covets the position of the head of the house. Who is not like this? The panacea that my wife head found in the treasure has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Second Highness only needs to take that The medicine will make you live alive for another year. After one year, the Fifth Highness shouldn’t need the Second Highness, right? I’ve done a lot of homework these days, and I have my own way to control my wife.”

Miaolian's phoenix eyes opened slightly, and she said in a trembling voice, "Could it be you who did Su Mian's disappearance? And only you did it. The Gui family and the Yu family will be helpless, right?"

"Not only that." Passing Shui said calmly, "My wife-lord should also be unconscious now. There is only one panacea. If His Highness is willing to cooperate, at this moment, it is time to mobilize all the hidden threads and act in time to influence the Holy Majesty." One is the biological daughter who is not suitable to inherit the great cause, and the other is the prince's wife entrusted by the two sons for life, which one does the Holy One want to wake up first, and which one will survive in the end?"

Miaolian was in a daze, her heart was turbulent.

Passing Water continued to seduce: "If His Royal Highness has the courage, as long as a small elixir is used properly, when the Second Highness is gone, the crime should be pushed to the empress dowager. It should be considered killing two birds with one stone, right? The Holy Majesty's habit is not to admit himself Then no matter whether the Crown Princess herself or the members of the Crown Princess Party persuaded the Holy Majesty to administer medicine to the Second Highness on purpose or not, in the end the Crown Princess will also bear the sinister name of murdering her sister."

After so many years of experience, Miao Lian's knowledge is already extraordinary. He forced himself to calm down, and quickly thought about whether there were any flaws and inappropriateness in what Passing Water said. , the final outcome is death, what if the Holy Majesty is reluctant to let His Royal Highness King Qi take it?"

Passing Water said in a somewhat mocking tone: "What do you think the Holy Majesty will choose between unifying the country and the life and death of a certain daughter? The opportunity is once in a lifetime, and she already has several daughters who can be born again. Willing to stop, the Fifth Highness has been in the south for a long time. Now that the Xuan Kingdom is destroyed, will the Luan people sit and wait for death? At that time, the Holy Majesty will always need a trusted person to lead the army. Except for the dead General Zhou, who can win the Holy Majesty's complete power now? Trust, who else is capable enough to win?"

The room fell silent for an instant, and Passing Water could clearly hear Miaolian's rapid breathing due to excitement.Miaolian was definitely moved, and it was impossible for the fifth emperor to ignore such a generous condition.

After a while, Miao Lian calmed down, and asked seriously: "If you want me to help you bring the words to the Lord intact, you must agree to one condition."

"You said, since I entrusted you to do things, I will always give you benefits." Passing Water secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He understood Miaolian's character and thinking mode, and according to Miaolian's current reaction, he would no longer think of him. .

"After you get what you want, please let your wife continue to live. She is the one Ali loves deeply."

Passing Water sighed half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You said this too late. I like that woman too. I can't get it, but someone else has it. What do you think I will do?"

Yi Miaolian's understanding of Passing Shui will be destroyed if Passing Shui wants but can't get it, he can't help changing his face and said: "Please, don't separate her and A Li. You all like her, living together is not right. Is it good?"

Passing Shui's always calm and deep eyes were filled with a thick layer of sadness, and he smiled sadly: "Okay, I promise you not to break them up. But if she can't fall in love with me, then when she is useless , it's hard to say that I won't abandon her."

—————Author’s Words—————

Don't be fooled by superficial phenomena, if you have read Passing Water, you should be able to think of more far-reaching places.
