I spent the night in a daze and feeling uneasy.
When he woke up the next day, Zhao Mengyao was already in control of his body.
At this time, Zhao Mengyao noticed something unusual, and she guessed that it must be that evil woman using her body...
Woohoo~
It's so wronged.
It would have been fine if her senior sister had competed with her for it, but her other personality actually wanted to compete with her too. Zhao Mengyao suddenly felt a heavy feeling on her head, as if a green crown was pressing on it.
No, she wants to take it back.
So she planned to have a buffet before her master woke up.
However, just as she was about to move down, Zhao Kangping woke up. He pressed her shoulders and said, "You're awake too."
Zhao Mengyao immediately jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end and lay back down in her original position.
She said with a guilty conscience, "Good morning, Master and husband."
Zhao Kangping patted her head as usual, and the woman took the initiative to give him a kiss.
The two didn't kiss for long before they separated.
But Zhao Mengyao's eyes suddenly became blurred and full of desire.
"I want it." She traced circles on his chest with her fingers.
However, Zhao Kangping's waist is still hurting, so how could he have the energy to make love with her?
"I'm very tired these days. Let's do it next time." Zhao Kangping said weakly.
But how could Zhao Mengyao possibly be satisfied with his answer? She immediately put on a scowl, "Master, you're biased. You've been taking Senior Sister out these past few days, so you must have loved her well. Why can't you love me as well?"
She attributed Zhao Kangping's appearance of exhaustion from excessive indulgence to Luo Xueqing. In her imagination, Luo Xueqing must have been the one who had been making love with him day and night for the past two days, draining him so much.
She didn't even think about her uncle. With her strength, it was impossible for her to notice Mu Wanyi's presence.
Also, she overestimated Luo Xueqing.
Luo Xueqing's fighting ability is actually only slightly stronger than Zhao Mengyao, and is also very limited.
Even if the eldest disciple wanted to monopolize him for two days, it would be impossible. He would probably be able to make her submit in less than a morning on the first day.
"Who said that? I love you both the same. You are both my dearest and dearest. I love you so much that I can't wait to see you. It's just that I haven't been in the right state these past few days."
He put his arm around his disciple's waist and spoke seriously.
He wanted to get rid of this debuff immediately.
But Zhao Mengyao didn't seem to believe it. Her beautiful eyes were watery and she looked like she was about to cry.
Zhao Kangping could only hug her, kiss her and coax her to barely calm her down.
Damn, this kidney is so disappointing.
This problem must be cured as soon as possible, otherwise the wives at home will become resentful.
After lying in bed with Zhao Mengyao for a while, they got up, dressed, packed up, and left the room.
Zhao Kangping thought about going to the Medicine King Hall in Ziyang Holy Land today.
Xun Qianran, the master of the Medicine King Hall, is not only an alchemist, but also well-versed in medical theory.
In fact, it's not just her. Most alchemists in the world also learn some medical knowledge.
But just as he was about to go out, he ran into Dongfang Jingrou who came to look for him.
"City Lord, I have something important to discuss with you." Dongfang Jingrou saw him walking out and hurriedly called him.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Kangping's mind had already wandered elsewhere, and he asked impatiently.
Dongfang Jingrou brought him to the study room for the meeting. After closing the door, she spoke with confidence, "I sent my deputy to the He family to arrest him."
"Guess what? They've already invited the son-in-law from the Xue family, He Weiyuan's father."
The Xue family was the family of the Grand Elder. He Weiyuan's father was a son-in-law who married into the Xue family. However, due to his outstanding business skills, he managed many of the Xue family's businesses. As a result, this son-in-law was quite influential in the Xue family and did not even receive unfair treatment from other sons-in-law.
Zhao Kangping frowned when he heard this, thinking that the plan to arrest He Jintong had failed.
"So you returned empty-handed?" Zhao Kangping said.
Dongfang Jingrou continued, "No, we brought the Holy Lord's Order with us this time. Seeing the Holy Lord's Order is like seeing the Holy Lord in person. The Xue family's son-in-law wouldn't dare to act rashly, but he must have mobilized his connections behind the scenes."
Holy Lord's Order?!
It seems that senior sister has also paid special attention to this operation. She will definitely not allow anyone to murder her.
Dongfang Jingrou: "We arrested He Jintong and put him in jail. But the He family put pressure on us and forbade us to torture He Jintong."
"If they put pressure on him, will they not punish him?" Zhao Kangping asked.
"That's not the case. He's still being tortured, but we've given the He family some face, so the punishments are all light."
Hearing this, Zhao Kangping's brows knitted into a frown. The He family was truly powerful, daring to influence the Suzaku Hall's law enforcement.
"Nothing will be revealed through such interrogation. I guess He Weiyuan doesn't value this son very much. He might even abandon He Jintong to save himself." Zhao Kangping said.
"Do you have any basis for what you said? He Jintong is He Weiyuan's eldest son. What father would bear to see his son imprisoned?"
Zhao Kangping said calmly, "Do you remember when I first came to the City Lord's Mansion, you gave me a recording crystal. It contains a lot of information about the He family and the five major families."
"I've watched it privately several times. I've discovered that the relationship between the He family's father and son isn't that good."
"He Jintong was born to He Weiyuan's first wife. However, He Weiyuan's first wife had low aptitude for cultivation and was unable to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage. She died of old age long ago."
"He Weiyuan later married two wives, but both died one after another. After the death of his third wife, he never took another principal wife."
"That record crystal also records a rumor that He Weiyuan had an affair with his daughter-in-law."
"You still remember that there was a secret passage in the mansion connecting the rooms of He Weiyuan and his daughter-in-law. That daughter-in-law was He Jintong's wife."
"I discovered something in the intelligence. He Jintong and He Weiyuan had a huge argument, so bad that they couldn't even eat at the same table."
"This is extremely unusual. Most people in this world place great importance on filial piety. What kind of conflict could cause such unhappiness between this father and son?"
"It is said that the conflict between the two men eased after He Weiyuan gave some of the family's assets to He Jintong."
"I guess He Jintong knew about the affair between his father and his wife, but for the sake of his property, he kept silent."
Zhao Kangping didn't think He Weiyuan could really be that good to his son He Jintong.
If the father is really loving and the son is really filial, would He Weiyuan do such a thing as adultery?
This He Jintong was probably sold out by the He family.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kangping suddenly had a good idea.
"Take me to the black prison. I have a way to make He Jintong speak." An idea suddenly came to Zhao Kangping's mind, and he quickly pulled Dongfang Jingrou to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
He was in a hurry and didn't think too much about it, so he reached out and held the woman's soft hand.
But this action made Dongfang Jingrou almost stop breathing. She opened her beautiful eyes wide and wanted to say something. However, she opened her mouth but still couldn't say anything.
What a reckless man.
……
In a dim cell, a bearded man in shackles was sitting in the corner.
He lowered his head and was bored, writing and drawing on the ground with a piece of straw.
This person is He Weiyuan’s eldest son He Jintong.
At this time, the outer gate opened, and the jailer came to He Jintong's cell door with a majestic middle-aged man.
"It's only a cup of tea." A female jailer said to the middle-aged man.
After saying this, the jailers all left.
"Son, what did these people do to you?" The person who came was He Weiyuan, the current head of the He family.
He became emotional when he saw his son in the cell.
However, the man sitting in the cell just smiled, spat, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Old man, there is no one else here, so don't be hypocritical."
He Weiyuan heard this and said with a cold expression: "What hypocrisy? You are my son. I came to see you. Shouldn't you be happy?"
If they had a normal father-son relationship, perhaps the person in prison would really cry bitterly.
Unfortunately they are not.
"Happy?" He Jintong slowly stood up and walked to the prison door. He laughed out loud, and his laughter was very strange, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.
"I've been in jail all night, why did you come just now?" He Jintong complained.
As he spoke, he also showed He Weiyuan the new scar on his body.
"This is from the whip, this is from the branding iron, and every one of my fingers has been pierced by a stick. They bled a lot and it only stopped a short time ago."
He Jintong was a spoiled child, how could he have suffered such hardship?
If it weren't for his family and his tough life, how could he have endured such torture?
Also, there was something wrong with the old man today. He was not so polite when talking to me normally.
"How could this happen? How could they be so cruel? No, I have to find them and talk them out." He Weiyuan said as he was about to walk outside.
"Hey~ Wait a minute, aren't you going to get me out first?" He Jintong climbed onto the prison door and stretched out his hand.
He Weiyuan had only taken a few steps when he came back.
He walked up to He Jintong with a grim expression and said, "Son, I'm sorry. Dad can't save you this time."
"This time, the Holy Lord wants to deal with our He family. The evidence is solid, and there's no way to get you out. Do you really think your father is that powerful? This time, you have no choice but to accept defeat. For the sake of our He family, you have to take it all on your own."
After he finished speaking, He Weiyuan burst into tears and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
"W-what? No, that's not what you said before. You said you would rescue me. Why did you change your mind? Doesn't Grandpa have a close relationship with the Xue family? He must have a way."
He Weiyuan said dejectedly, "It's useless. Your grandfather is already looking for someone, but this time it's the Holy Lord who wants to target our He family. The Supreme Elder is in seclusion right now and knows nothing about what's happening in the outside world."
"The Holy Lord has long wanted to eliminate the Grand Elder's followers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She can't let it go. Not only our He family, she even wants to eliminate the other five major families."
"Our He family was just the first one she attacked. The He family is already struggling to save itself, so saving you is impossible."
As soon as these words came out, He Jintong's mood immediately plummeted.
But He Jintong refused to give up: "No, our He family has the Xue family as our backer. Could it be that the woman wants to go against the Xue family?"
"Dad, please save me. You must save me. I don't believe that the Xue family will not give that woman face if they come forward."
The Xue family, to which the Grand Elder belongs, has produced more than just the former Holy Lord, the Grand Elder.
Several of the Holy Land's Hall Masters all had ties to the Xue family and owed them favors. Furthermore, many of the Inner Sect elders were also members of the Xue family.
There are even more people in the holy land who are related to the Xue family.
In fact, the Xue family's influence is even greater than that of the five major families.
The five major families were all millennial families, and while the Xue family wasn't a ten-thousand-year-old family, it wasn't far behind, at least eight thousand years old. Therefore, their heritage was far beyond the reach of the five major families.
However, although their family is powerful, they do not cause trouble.
Moreover, the Xue family lived far away and basically had no contact with the five major families. They also looked down on the nouveau riche families.
He Weiyuan sighed and said, "If the Xue family was so easy to persuade, you would have been fine long ago. But your grandfather tried and got nothing in return. The Xue family doesn't want to get involved in this mess either."
"Furthermore, his frequent activities have caused dissatisfaction among the Xue family's top management. This path is probably not feasible."
Although the son-in-law of the He family made many contributions to the He family, he was always just a son-in-law and did not enter the core circle of the Xue family.
Moreover, the Xue family has more than one son-in-law, and there are many capable ones. Why should the Xue family give him face?
"Son, don't worry. As long as you don't expose our He family, we will always remember your kindness. So please bite your teeth and don't say a single word."
"I will take good care of Yiyi for you. She is pregnant now. When her child is born, I will register the child under your name. Your branch will become the main branch of our He family. Even if you are gone, your descendants will not forget your merits."
He Weiyuan continued to persuade He Jintong, but the latter refused to listen to a word he said.
He Jintong held his head, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyeballs were about to bulge out.
"That's not the case. That's not what you said before..." He Jintong kept repeating this sentence as if he was possessed.
They had clearly agreed before that as long as grandpa went out and persuaded the Xue family, he would definitely be saved.
As a price, he lost his inheritance rights as the head of the He family, and was then relocated to a remote city to help the He family manage their assets there.
