While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

After receiving Ye Ke's call, Yang Ding took his two wives to the mall to buy fresh vegetables for tomorrow's banquet, spending a total of more than three thousand yuan.

These days, fresh vegetables are scarce and expensive; poor people can only afford to buy them once a month to satisfy their cravings.

Ye Rou and Fang Jing are both generous girls. Since their husbands and teammates are coming to eat, they definitely want to make it a decent affair and buy the best dishes.

For example, the Longjiang knife fish and yellow beef are special delicacies that are supplied to the elite. They themselves are usually reluctant to eat them, and they cost two or three hundred yuan per kilogram.

On the way back, both wives were very nervous, still guessing about the third wife.

"Aside from the wealthy girls serving in the northern border and the water system experts in Jiangling City, the only known one is Governor Zhou Ruoxi. Of course, the men of the five major families may have many illegitimate daughters outside, and it's not impossible that someone like Huang Aqing would have one," Fang Jing analyzed.

"This is a bit scary. What is Zhou Ruoxi's status? How could she marry our husband? She must be an illegitimate child."

"Your sister used to use code words, but this time she deliberately said it over the phone. Could it be that she's sending some kind of message to Governor Zhou?"

With Zhou Ruoxi personally protecting Yang Ding, her chances are getting higher and higher.

Seeing his two wives looking worried, Yang Ding put his arm around their waists to comfort them.

"Even if the Queen deliberately released this information, it doesn't mean it will necessarily come true. It might be a strategy to test the limits. There's no use in overthinking it. Let's just accept it as it is."

"But what if it really is Zhou Ruoxi? My position as the first wife would be in jeopardy! Would I dare call her 'Ruoxi sister'? Would I dare to steal her husband and sleep with her?"

Ye Rou looked miserable.

In terms of cultivation level, age, status, and aura, Zhou Ruoxi completely overwhelmed her.

Fang Jing was speechless. "You should be thinking about whether we can save our lives, my Rou-jie."

Her considerations were not without merit.

Currently, the imperial leadership and local forces are in a state of weak balance.

The Queen began to take the initiative with Yang Ding, which could break the bottom line of the Jiangling City Lord at any time.

If he really turns on you and takes 2000 million people hostage, the Queen won't have much of a way to deal with it.

Whether Yang Ding will become a pawn or not, who can say for sure?

"Don't scare yourself. Once you realize something is wrong, Sister Jing will lead us away. We can travel 320 kilometers at a time, and we'll reach Donghai City in three trips."

Ye Rou had a sudden inspiration, and her eyes lit up.

"Honey, why don't you go after Governor Zhou?"

Why?

"If you marry her, won't you become the son-in-law of the Lord of Jiangling City?"

"Marrying the two of you already makes me famous throughout the five great empires. If I were to marry Zhou Ruoxi, the entire universe would probably call me the 'King of Mistresses'."

Ye Rou continued to let her imagination run wild.

"Even a gigolo is still a king. Perhaps you can resolve the grudge between the Zhou family and the Queen. After that, you can marry the most precious daughters of the three city lords of Donghai City, Xiyu City, and Beijing City. Then you will be the ruler of the world and the biggest winner."

Fang Jing chuckled.

"That's not enough. Your husband has to marry the princess or queen of one of the other four great empires to be considered the true ruler of the world."

"Yes, yes, that's even better."

Ye Rou was excited by her own wild imagination, "Then I, the first wife, will also be the First Lady of Blue Star."

"But Rou-jie, if you count it this way, how many wives does your husband have?"

Having just experienced the goodness of men, Fang Jing really didn't want Yang Ding to have a bunch of wives.

Ye Rou counted on her fingers and was completely dumbfounded.

"Ten people already? That's really a bit excessive. I can't even get a turn in the schedule."

Yang Ding was amused.

"Silly girl, why marry so many women? It's not like collecting stamps. My wives are carefully selected and not given in large quantities."

……

What the law enforcement agency can listen to, Stinger can also listen to simultaneously.

Zhou Ruoxi was unaware that although the intelligence system was directly under the Empire, its staff had long been coerced and lured into betraying the Empire.

This is the city lord's will, and no one dares to disobey it.

Qin Xiangyu thought for a full half hour before she spoke.

"Azi, go home and rest. Tomorrow, dress properly, hide your wickedness, and deal well with Yang Ding's wife. Otherwise, you won't have a chance to get him in the future."

"Don't worry, big sister, I'm a master at playing the role of a virtuous wife."

Huang Aqing was about to leave with her when Qin Xiangyu stopped him.

"Your sister is too unreliable, I don't trust her, so I'm leaving this matter to you."

"What is it?"

"To arrange for Zhou Ruoxi to marry Yang Ding."

"Why?" Huang Aqing asked, puzzled.

"If Zhou Ruoxi doesn't marry Yang Ding, she'll be forced into a marriage alliance with another two families sooner or later. What will we rely on to win the rightful heir then?"

"But if she marries Yang Ding, she will have the Empress of the Empire as her backer."

"Whether we surrender to the empire or the empire uses force to destroy 2000 million people, Jiangling City will no longer belong to our Zhou family. There is no need to take the gamble."

"But how can I bring them together?"

Qin Xiangyu gave a wicked smile and took out a small yellow porcelain bottle from the safe.

"This contains the brain fluid of the White Walker's queen. In the North, it's called 'Ghostly Fragrance.' Just a drop can trigger a woman's reproductive instincts, making her think only of having a baby. You must get Zhou Ruoxi infected."

"That's probably difficult; she has to use her powers to purify the water every time she drinks it."

"If it weren't difficult, what would I need you for?"

Huang Aqing took the small porcelain bottle. "Big sister, what if Ye Ke deliberately leaked this information to us?"

She was in the same class as Ye Ke and Fang Jing. Although Ye Ke was a martial artist, she was known for her erudition, intelligence, and composure.

"When it comes to scheming, we can't outwit the Queen. We can only do what's in front of us and try to increase our chances of winning. The Queen can see into the short-term future, but she may not be able to see through the vast universe."

Huang Aqing nodded, "I understand."

She returned to the villa reserved for her illegitimate children and only saw her brother, Huang Agui, practicing qi cultivation; she found no trace of her sister.

"Where is Azi?"

"Back to the slaughterhouse dormitory."

"What are you going there for?"

"She said she's going to the Yang family tomorrow to confess her feelings, and she has to kill her husband's whole family tonight to prevent Yang Ding from suspecting her character as a wife."

"What kind of dog logic is this? They must be out of their minds." Huang Aqing was speechless.

Huang Agui shook his head, "You're only finding out now?"

But nobody cared about the life or death of the brother-in-law's family; they were just lowly ants, so let them be killed.

Huang Bingbing's husband, Zhang Hua, was matched by the system. He was a pig transport driver at a slaughterhouse, and his parents had spent their entire lives slaughtering pigs at the slaughterhouse.

When the system paired him up, he thought his ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke, as he had actually married such a beautiful wife.

Unexpectedly, they haven't even touched hands yet, and they've been threatened that if they dare to reveal Huang Bingbing's identity, their whole family will die.

Huang Bingbing has never lived in a dormitory and doesn't even have any daily necessities.

She sat on the bed, clutching the blood-stained pistol, and looked at Zhang Hua as he pushed open the door, smiling as she asked, "Honey, you're home from get off work?"

This was the first time she had called him "husband".

Zhang Hua was stunned when he saw his parents lying in a pool of blood.

"Did you kill them?"

"yes."

"I haven't leaked any information about you."

"I know, but the moment you matched with me, you were already a dead man."

Before she finished speaking, Huang Bingbing smashed her legal husband's head to pieces with both guns.

She wiped the blood from her face with her sleeve and said to the few hidden slaves in the room, "Dispose of their bodies. Just throw them into the meat grinder in the meat factory. Don't waste them."

"Yes, Master."

"Xiang Tianyou will be my follower tomorrow."

Xiang Tianyou was overjoyed. "Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Bingbing finally noticed his presence.
