I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

But this Mrs. Huo only scored in the 88s, at most points, and he really looked down on her.

There is no way. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After being used to eating delicacies from land and sea, it is really difficult to swallow coarse bran.

Although Mrs. Huo is not a piece of chaff, this is what she meant.

"Mrs. Huo, what do you mean?" Zhao Kangping's eyes were clear, without any sign of being bewitched.

He subconsciously thought that the widow must have some purpose.

At this time, he heard footsteps outside. He looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw a woman wearing a bright red dress with narrow sleeves, with a graceful figure and a bright and charming face.

It was Dongfang Jingrou who had just returned from the Holy Lord's Palace.

The housekeeper had already learned from other maids that many representatives from small families had come today.

It just so happened that she also heard Zhao Kangping's questioning of the woman in front of him.

Mrs. Huo just heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with a cold face but a beauty of the world.

She was already feeling a little guilty, and her nerves suddenly tensed up. She didn't know Dongfang Jingrou's identity and thought she was the city lord's wife.

He was so scared that his face turned pale and he took a few steps back unconsciously.

The pretty widow said in panic, "I have no other choice but to take this risk. I beg the Lord City Lord to be magnanimous."

As she said this, she knelt down, tears already in the corners of her eyes, she looked so touching that I felt pity for her.

Seeing this, the other visitors felt that the atmosphere was not right and left with excuses.

Before long, only Zhao Kangping, Dongfang Jingrou, Mrs. Huo, and three maids were left in the reception room.

Zhao Kangping was still a little confused and didn't understand what Mrs. Huo was doing.

He unfolded the paintings that the widow of the Chen family had given him. The three paintings happened to be of three good-looking young women.

This made him even more confused.

Zhao Kangping handed the painting to Dongfang Jingrou, who took a look at it and then stared coldly at Mrs. Huo who was kneeling on the ground.

"What's going on? What do these three paintings mean?" Zhao Kangping asked.

The pretty lady calmed down, reorganized her words, and said, "These are my eldest and second daughters, as well as my sister-in-law. If the city lord likes them, I can give them to him. Even if they just serve as maids serving tea and water, it's fine."

She really intends to bribe Mr. Zhao by using her beauty as a gift.

In fact, if Dongfang Jingrou hadn't appeared just now, she would most likely have taken action herself. If even her daughter and sister-in-law couldn't satisfy the city lord, she might have offered herself to him.

"Ridiculous! As a mother, how could you do such a thing as selling your daughter?" The secretary had experienced the pain of losing her family and loved ones since childhood. She couldn't understand why Mrs. Huo would treat her daughter and sister-in-law as gifts just to curry favor with the city lord.

Perhaps it was because Dongfang Jingrou's expression was so stern that the widow was frightened.

Mrs. Huo was so anxious that she stammered, "No, no, I, I, I have no choice."

Then she told the reasons that led her to take such a desperate measure.

The Chen family is a small family in the southern district of Chuanliu City. Previously, it has always been a relatively independent family that does not rely on any force.

They run a business selling spiritual tea, which is not a big business, and their main customers are some independent cultivators in the city.

In addition, they also own a street of low-rent housing, and collecting rent is also a source of income for them.

But during the turmoil, their tea shop was affected and razed to the ground, and the street was also destroyed.

Her husband was just a casual cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. In order to protect his family, he was killed by the spore monsters that were causing chaos in the city at that time.

As a result, the Chen family lost their source of income and the breadwinner of the family, and never recovered.

Mrs. Huo gave birth to three children for her husband, the first two were daughters and the last was a son.

If it's just to support this big family, I can still get by by relying on the surplus money accumulated in previous years and tightening my belt.

But the problem is that misfortunes never come singly. Not long ago, a young man from the Qiu family fell in love with the widow Huo and wanted to have sex with her.

However, Mrs. Huo refused to obey as she did not want to let her husband down.

When the young master of the Qiu family failed to succeed, he sent people to cause trouble in the shop rebuilt by the Chen family and hinder their business.

They were just a small family without any backing, so how could they afford to offend the Qiu family, one of the five major families?

The young master of the Qiu family had a very bad reputation. He had a history of bullying men and women and abandoning them. He was definitely not a good match. How could the Huo family commit themselves to him?

Another thing is that Mrs. Huo knew that the young master of the Qiu family was not only interested in her, but also had his eyes on her daughter and her husband's sister, and wanted to have a mother-daughter and sister-in-law dinner.

Mrs. Huo knew that she was already a married woman, so it would be fine if she was harmed. But her daughter and sister-in-law were still married, so how could they fall into the pit of fire?

It just so happened that the news of the suppression of the five major families spread in the city, and she wanted to cling to the city lord's thigh.

Therefore, she thought of pushing her daughter and sister-in-law to the city lord, thinking that if she could get close to the city lord, she could also save them from being harmed by that immoral person.

After listening to the woman's story, Zhao Kangping didn't know whether to call her smart or stupid.

"Your action is really unwise. You don't know what kind of person I am, but you want to send your three closest relatives to me. If I were a pervert who likes to abuse others, wouldn't they be walking into a den of wolves?" Zhao Kangping wanted to complain about Mrs. Huo's confusion and failure to think things through.

"Ah? I haven't thought about this. I..." After being reminded by Zhao Kangping, Mrs. Huo's face turned pale and blue, and she was obviously a little scared.

Zhao Kangping took the three paintings from Dongfang Jingrou and returned them to the widow, saying, "Take these back. I'll send someone to warn that Qiu family kid."

"If he doesn't stop at this point, he'll be dealt with."

The five major families involved in the tribute smuggling case were now facing heavy punishment, and there was no chance of a peaceful resolution. At this critical juncture, if the young master of the Qiu family dared to stir up trouble, he was truly courting death.

"This..." Mrs. Huo's hand hung in the air, a little hesitant.

Dongfang Jingrou said, "The City Lord will not accept your gift, but we will help you resolve your troubles."

Hearing this, the woman kneeling on the ground slowly stood up and respectfully took the scroll.

"Don't worry, we keep our word. Those who harass you will be dealt with." The housekeeper said solemnly.

After comforting Mrs. Huo, she also said goodbye embarrassedly. Before leaving, Dongfang Jingrou found two maids and gave them some instructions, and they escorted Mrs. Huo away.

"Did I ruin your chance to have a rice bowl?" Since there was no one else present, the secretary's words became a little gloomy.

"What rice bowl? I don't understand what you mean." Zhao Kangping looked righteous, without any regret at all.

We already have rice bowls at home, do we still need to find one outside?

"Haha, if I hadn't come, would you have accepted the seduction of this vixen? The Lord Saint said that I should keep a close eye on you from now on. If you ever think of messing with a woman of unknown origin, I will tell her everything."

Good guy, no more acting, a clear spy. She used to worry about being discovered by the Holy Lord and being blamed by him.

However, the open-mindedness shown by the Holy Lord also convinced her. Not only did the Holy Lord not mind her stealing behavior, he also asked her to help watch over him.

She was very glad to have a woman like the Holy Lord as her principal wife.

Mu Wanyi didn't mind her affair with Zhao Kangping, and even asked her to try her best to drain his energy so that he wouldn't have any spare energy to think about other women.

So now the secretary not only has to handle official business for him, but also has to satisfy his desires.

"How could that be? She's not as pretty as you. Besides, her daughter and sister-in-law are too young and haven't grown up yet. They're not my type at all."

He noticed that Mrs. Huo's daughters were sixteen and fourteen, which was too much. As for the sister-in-law, although she was eighteen years old, she was too thin and her appearance could only be considered pretty, but there was nothing amazing about her.

Besides, he is not a thief like Cao, so he will definitely not harm this family.

As if to prove the secretary's charm, he pinched the soft and perky part of her back.

Then she slapped his hand away again, and she said coquettishly: "Hate it, there are still a few maids outside."

"Then can we do some naughty things when no one else is around?" Flirting with the secretary is also an interesting thing, and Zhao Kangping never gets tired of it.

He originally thought that she would say something arrogant, but she blushed, lowered her head, and murmured softly: "Hmm."

Ah, you're not reserved anymore?

Dull.

Zhao Kangping still liked the way she was half-hearted and reluctant.

Afterwards, the two of them inspected the City Lord's Mansion together.

"Is there something else that Senior Sister wants you to talk about?" Zhao Kangping knew that Senior Sister had collected a lot of evidence of the crimes of the five major families, and there must be something big going on.

But Dongfang Jingrou kept it a secret and said, "It's not convenient to disclose this yet. It has to be kept secret. You'll know in a few days."

He could understand that this must involve some confidential information and could not be disclosed casually.

The two of them walked together and unknowingly arrived outside the yard where Aunt Yun was.

The first thing Zhao Kangping saw was that Aunt Yun had changed into her simple peasant clothes again.

She was a former leader of the Xianyun Sect, but she was actually hanging bacon. No one would believe it if she told others about it.

After all, Aunt Yun is a fairy with a high reputation among the previous generation of cultivators in the Eastern Region.

How could a fairy get involved in something so greasy?

Excuse me, she is actually hanging bacon.

She took strips of marinated pork belly from a large wooden basin and hung them on a homemade drying line.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Kangping walked through the moon gate and entered the yard.

Then, he saw Wan Baiyi drooling in the yard, and Ji Miaoyan standing far away.

"Aunt Yun, why are you doing all this yourself?" He walked up quickly and was about to lend a hand.

The wooden basin was filled with soy sauce, some minced ginger and garlic, and probably also a small amount of old wine and other spices.

When Zhao Kangping saw this bacon, many distant memories flashed through his mind.

There wasn't much pork belly in total, so he and Aunt Yun quickly prepared it together.

"I know you liked eating bacon when you were a child. I wonder if you still like it now?" Nangong Ruyun said as she cast a spell to clear the dirt off her hands.

"If you like it, I will add some to the dishes and noodles in the future." Even if Aunt Yun didn't say it explicitly, he knew that she would definitely give him some after drying it.

"Your mother taught me this cooking skill. I don't know if it's as delicious as hers." Aunt Qiaomei thought of her unfortunate best friend again.

Zhao Kangping said, "This thing is actually not complicated, and there are not many details to pay attention to. Just by looking at the sauce you used for marinating, I know it's almost right. It won't be bad."

"Then I can use this bacon to cook for Aunt Yun myself. I can make fried rice cakes with bacon, fried rice with bacon, fried garlic shoots with bacon, and many other dishes that can use bacon."

After hearing Zhao Kangping announce the dishes, Wan Baiyi also came over: "Master, I want to eat too."

Zhao Kangping suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't I use my spiritual power to quickly dry the bacon now. That way I can cook it later."

But Nangong Ruyun stopped him: "No, that would be meaningless. Let it dry naturally."

If the bacon dried too early, he wouldn't come over to check on it from time to time. This would reduce the chances of seeing her. This was the real reason why my aunt didn't want him to do it.

Chapter 308: A Layer of Window Paper

Yunze.

A pillar of azure light broke through the earth and pierced the sky. Magnificent clouds circled around the pillar of light, gradually evolving into many strange visions.

Just like the commotion caused by the birth of the Heavenly Book.

But compared to that time, Yunze has expanded a lot and is even less suitable for human habitation.

Lin Ruowei was suspended high in the air, looking at the gorgeous beam of light, and was a little dazed for a moment.

"Master was seriously injured because of this item. I think it is very likely a top-notch magic weapon, or even an immortal treasure."

If this is the case, it must not fall into the hands of others. As long as such a treasure is obtained, the Holy Land will be transformed again.

Even if the master fails to recover, perhaps he can restore himself with this precious treasure.

Xue Zining was unwilling to give up power just like that. Her early abdication was a helpless move, and she had never given up on returning to the throne.

It was only because her injuries were difficult to repair that she delayed taking action.

But if that treasure can improve her strength, then there is no need to wait until her injuries are healed.

At this time, several disciples of Jianya Palace came flying in.

Gongsun Shu, the leader, bowed respectfully and said, "Master, the demonic cultivators here have been mostly cleared out. The few that slipped through the net won't cause much trouble."

"it is good."

Lin Ruowei only responded with a simple word.

Being a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage was enough for her to look down upon her peers. With the exception of a few individuals, such as Mu Wanyi, she really didn't look down upon anyone.

She was a very proud woman and had been domineering in her past.
