Chapter 774: You Can't Afford It!
"Young lady, Deacon Wang has something important to report!"
Wanrou, who was researching a new dish in the boudoir, suddenly heard the report of the maid guarding the door, and was slightly cautious, and had some doubts in her heart.
"What's his business?"
Deacon Wang is an archdeacon in charge of the back kitchen, and he is her deputy, but Deacon Wang has a cold temperament, there is not much communication between them, and the other party has never come to his courtyard in person before, but today he came for the first time, let alone in the middle of the night.
"Let him wait in the living room, I'll be over in a moment!"
Although there were doubts in her heart, Wanrou did not refuse, and after seeing that the newly researched dishes would not have problems in a short time, she changed her clothes, stepped out of the door, and walked towards the living room not far away.
"Is that you?"
When she came to the living room, Wanrou saw Deacon Wang standing there at a glance, her eyes were out of focus, obviously very abnormal, while another unfamiliar figure dressed in the clothes of a guard in the Grand Duke's Mansion was sitting on a chair and sipping tea.
Although she hadn't seen the other party's face, she understood the other party's identity from that breath.
This should be an incarnation of her good father, but she didn't expect the other party to dare to sneak into the Grand Duke's Mansion at such a time.
She naturally saw the battle during the day, and at the same time, she immediately sensed that her father was also involved.
The movement caused by that battle was not small, and afterwards she also heard that her father and others had escaped from the Grand Duke's Mansion, but she didn't expect the other party to turn back.
Seeing this scene, Wanrou's face suddenly turned cold, she had seen her father's methods, and it would definitely not be good for her to come to look for her this time.
"Why are you here?"
Sitting on the throne with a cold face, Wanrou really didn't want to see this father at this moment.
You must know that during the day, when the Absolute Evil Qi was about to erupt, she was also watching from a distance, and she also saw that her father did not come to take her away, obviously planning to let herself die in the Heavenly Absolute Qi that was about to explode.
Such a ruthless heart has long exhausted the trace of family affection in her heart.
"My father came secretly this time to see if Wanrou was doing well? Also, although your father married you off, you can still continue to practice the family exercises, and you must not waste your talent. ”
Hearing the coldness in his daughter's words, Rao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he cultivated in Wu Mengjin's state of mind, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
Moreover, he wanted to ask this at the banquet that day, and he naturally saw at a glance that his daughter's cultivation was only at the fourth order of the mortal realm, which was exactly the same as when she got married, and she had not improved even a little after several years.
You must know that your daughter's talent is not low, and her own physique is special and very precious, otherwise Zhou Canghai would not agree to marry her as the wife of his eldest son Zhou Shiren.
For his daughter, Wu Mengjin didn't plan to restrict it, and even the most core inheritance of the family, except for the most core part of the Heavenly Realm, the cultivation chapters of the Earth Realm and the Mortal Realm were passed on.
After all, only the stronger his daughter's strength is, the more stable her position in the Xuanyue Principality will be, and even in the end, with Zhou Shiren becoming the Grand Duchess, that will have the greatest benefit to their family.
But after these few years, her cultivation has not improved in the slightest.
He was naturally dissatisfied with this, very dissatisfied!
"I want to waste it, but I don't have the right to waste it!"
It's okay not to say this, when it comes to this topic, Wanrou seems to have been touched by a taboo in her heart, laughs at herself poignantly, takes off a bracelet on her wrist, and shows her broken original breath.
"Click!"
"Who did it?"
Sensing the broken origin aura of his daughter, Wu Mengjin's body was shocked, the teacup in his hand was pinched into powder in an instant, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
Wanrou is an important chess piece for him, related to the interests of the Xuanyue Principality, even if he has a falling out with Zhou Canghai now, he can't tolerate his chess piece being abolished by the other party.
After all, judging from Wanrou's broken origin aura, it was obvious that a large amount of origin power had been forcibly extracted a few years ago, and it even had a great impact on her longevity, and it was unknown how many years she could live.
He has put too much effort into this chess piece, and now he sees that this chess piece has been paid for early, how can he not be angry?
"Who's not your good son-in-law!"
Wiping away a wisp of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, Wanrou put the bracelet back on her wrist, covering her breath while stabilizing the broken source power.
Although she resisted her marriage with Zhou Shiren, she also understood that as the daughter of the family, she must bear this responsibility, so she also accepted her fate after getting married.
But who would have thought that on the wedding night, what she was waiting for was not her husband's gentleness, but cruelty, and she directly used the secret method to forcibly extract a large amount of her own origin power.
Over the years, she has only relied on this bracelet to hold on, and she can't leave at all, and the time she just took off made her suffer a lot of backlash.
"Was it Zhou Shiren's private hand or did Zhou Canghai acquiesce?"
Wu Mengjin's expression became even more gloomy, and he was silent for a long time and asked.
He wanted to determine whether Zhou Shiren did it privately or Zhou Canghai's idea.
If the former arrives, it's nothing, but if the latter is in trouble.
This proves that Zhou Canghai had already made up his mind a few years ago and didn't want to cooperate with them, at most he was using them in a false way, and maybe he had even unknowingly laid a trap for them in some aspects.
If this is the case, their next plans will have to be changed, and the next trip to Godforsaken will probably have a lot more accidents and dangers.
"Is there a difference?"
Without answering his father's question directly, Wanrou sneered softly.
She was not stupid, so she could naturally guess what her father was thinking at this time, and she was even more disappointed in it.
"Is it Zhou Shiren's own attention?"
Although he didn't get a positive answer, Wu Mengjin also knew what the answer was from his daughter's reaction, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
This proves that Zhou Canghai really planned to cooperate with them a few years ago, not some calculation, and this time it was just the appearance of that demonic kid, which made the old guy have a different mind, and planned to get rid of them and go it alone.
In this way, although the problem is equally serious, it is much less slight and easier to deal with than that one, at least there is no need to worry about the previous cooperation pitfalls.
Looking at his daughter, who was even more cold, Wu Mengjin's heart moved, and he said softly: "Wanrou, it's your father's fault that you are in such a situation, this time you only need to complete a task, and your father will take your home." ”
"No, I don't have a home anymore!"
Wanrou, who was already completely disappointed, no longer looked at this so-called father, looked at the flowers blooming in the courtyard through the window, and said indifferently: "Father, this is the last time Wanrou calls you father, for mother's sake, I can promise to help you do the last thing." ”
Wu Mengjin smiled, he didn't care if Wanrou recognized him as a father or not, as long as he could complete his task.
Besides, anyway, this chess piece has lost its due value, and even itself will not live for a few years.
"Your task is very simple, just take the copy of the Silence Sutra from that kid's hand, if you can, pass the word to him, Zhou Cang can also give him the same father, if he wants beauty, your sisters are up to him, or even give them all to him. ”
Now that the matter has been put on the bright side, Wu Mengjin simply stopped pretending to be a loving father, returned to his previous indifference, and said the task he wanted Wanrou to complete.
That's right, his target this time is still the Silent True Scripture and Yun Yi himself.
He also saw at the banquet last time that the relationship between that kid and his daughter is indeed very good, and this is a very good breakthrough.
Since the other party can be fascinated by Zhou Canghai's daughter in a short period of time, it proves that the other party is a complete womanizer.
In this regard, he can satisfy the other party, you must know that he still has dozens of daughters who have not married!
"I'll find a way to destroy the true scripture, and as for the latter, don't think about it!"
Turning his head to show a sense of pity, Wanrou said coldly: "You can't afford to raise him!"
"What do you mean?"
Wu Mengjin's face turned cold, and he didn't understand the meaning of this daughter's words.
He admitted that Yun Yi's kid had a terrifying background, and he was able to drink hundreds of pots of Wandering Immortal Brew in a row, but after drinking it for a while, whether he could refine it was another matter.
After all, no matter what, that kid is only a cultivator in the mortal realm, and it will take a lot of time for so many immortal brews to be refined, so he doesn't need to supply them in a short period of time.
In this way, there is nothing that cannot be raised, but what does your daughter mean by this?
Wanrou didn't say anything more this time, just took out a ledger from the storage bracelet and threw it over.
She is in charge of the back kitchen of the Grand Duke's Mansion, and naturally has the account book of various expenses in the back kitchen, and she has to update it every day.
It just so happened that an hour ago, she had just gone to the back kitchen to update it.
"What does that mean?"
After browsing the ledger in his hand, Wu Mengjin still didn't understand what it meant.
"On that day, the guy ate all the dishes and drinks from the periphery and the main field, and on the third day he ordered the same amount of wine and food, and he might have to come every day if he didn't even need to retreat.
That's because my father-in-law specially instructed me not to give pills before the retreat, otherwise the cost would have to increase at least tenfold!"
Still with that sense of pity, Wanrou sighed at the arrogance of her father.
It's really fearless that you don't know, just with your little family background, you still want to recruit this humanoid glutton, and you're not afraid of eating you!
“......”
Wu Mengjin, who was shocked, carefully looked at the account book in his hand again, especially the records in the last few days, looking at the terrifying amount, Rao Yi's state of mind couldn't help but ooze a large piece of cold sweat.
Who can afford this uncle?
Zhou Canghai, that old guy was caught in the door, right?
Dare to accept this kind of existence as a son-in-law and stay in the Grand Duke's Mansion, is it true that the foundation of the Xuanyue Principality is so strong?
