Chapter 181: Mu Qing's Nature
Mu Qing's wife is called Wu Lei. Her grandfather was none other than the lord of Dongbo City, Wu Bo.
Her father, Wu Gang, was an official at the side of the king of Dongyue.
Her grandfather was able to become the lord of Dongbo City not because of his father, but because he had the ability to do so.
Wu Lei is the least valued of Wu Gang's children.
She was brought up by her grandparents since she was a child, and Wu Gang has many children, with a total of twelve sons and daughters. Four sons and eight daughters.
Among Wu Gang's twelve children, Wu Lei ranked eighth. This makes her a dispensable presence among her daughters.
This also caused Wu Lei's lack of love since childhood.
When Wu Bo married her to Mu Qing, he didn't know that Mu Qing was a hypocritical and bad person. You must know that Mu Qing's master, Qi Xiuyuan, is one of the three great masters of the country, and the only one of the great masters of medicine refining in the Dongyue Kingdom.
I don't know how much higher than her father Wu Gang's status. Wu Gang agreed to this marriage in order to be able to have some relationship with Qi Xiuyuan.
In any case, Mu Qing is a disciple of Qi Xiuyuan. Marrying Qi Xiuyuan's disciple made the Wu family and Qi Xiuyuan get involved.
Although Mu Qing is not valued by Qi Xiuyuan, and although the Wu family is not very strong, it is good for Qi Xiuyuan to have such a relationship in the court.
You must know that there are three national teachers in the Dongyue Kingdom. Although the three national teachers are the same in status, the three of them have their own henchmen.
Although Wu Gang's official position in the court is not large, his position is very important. He was a close vassal of the king of Dongyue. Being able to form a family with Wu Gang is also beneficial to Qi Xiuyuan. What's more, he, a disciple, is the least treated by him among all his disciples.
At that time, Wu Lei was still full of fantasies about life. She hopes that her husband can truly love her. But she was wrong, very wrong.
Not to mention love, from the very beginning, Mu Qing gave her endless torture and hurt.
She never thought that Mu Qing, who looked modest and polite on the outside, turned out to be a big pervert.
Mu Qing didn't have the slightest emotion for her, only practice. But every time he did something to hurt Wu Lei, Mu Qing apologized desperately.
Wu Lei knew very well why she would marry him, and for the Wu family, she was a tool for the alliance of interests of the two parties.
She knew that it was useless to resist, and Mu Qing also understood her position, and he didn't dare to really persecute Wu Lei to death.
Later, the two decided to live separately and do their own things. But the name of the husband and wife must be retained.
Maybe it's been suppressed for too long, or maybe it's influenced by Mu Qing. Since then, Wu Lei's whole person has changed, she is no longer the poor girl she used to be, but has become a cruel and vicious woman.
She no longer expects love, but instead seeks all kinds of short-term thrills.
She used her identity to secretly raise a lot of handsome men, even ordinary teenagers for her fun.
Some are even trafficked boys bought from the black market.
Zhou Xiaodie and Wen Renjing put on makeup and blended into Wu Lei's mansion. Zhou Xiaodie's disguise as a man quickly attracts Wu Lei's attention.
The first time she saw Zhou Xiaodie, she was stunned. She had never seen such a beautiful man.
Wu Lei must get Zhou Xiaodie, a handsome man, into her own hands.
He asks someone to investigate Zhou Xiaodie's origins. Only then did I know that Zhou Xiaodie was a businessman from the Qingxuan Empire. The last time Zhou Xiaodie entered the mansion, it was to trade the beauty pills produced by the Qingxuan Empire that Wu Lei needed.
Beauty Pill is irresistible to women. However, the one who can refine this elixir must be a medicine refining master. The beauty pill that Zhou Xiaodie traded was made by Xiao Che.
Of course, Zhou Xiaodie is not interested in this thing, Xiao Che has already given Zhou Xiaodie a better effect than the Beauty Pill. Don't look at the difference in the names of these two pills, there is only one word difference, but the effect is really different.
Beauty Pill is only able to beautify one's appearance within a certain period of time. But Zhu Yan Dan can be called the best of eternal youth. As long as you take one, you can stay young forever. However, the elixir required by the Zhuyan Pill is also extremely precious, and it must be used as the basic medicinal material of the nine-colored exquisite lotus on the elixir list, with thousands of auxiliary elixirs, and it can be refined by the great master of medicine refining in order to have a very low probability of successful refining.
Xiao Che's ability to refine it was also a coincidence. It just so happened that he had a nine-colored delicate lotus in his hand. And it just so happens that he is also a great master of alchemy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to refine it.
However, with Zhou Xiaodie's cultivation, even if she doesn't take Zhuyan Pill, she won't grow old. Generally speaking, as long as a martial artist cultivates to the Venerable Realm, he will be able to maintain the appearance of the time when he entered the Venerable Realm forever.
What's more, Zhou Xiaodie is already a Supreme Realm powerhouse at such a young age. Her appearance is less likely to age.
However, it is not meaningless to take the anti-Yan pill. Zhu Yan Dan combined with Zhou Xiaodie's cultivation in the Supreme Realm made her look more temperamental and charming.
Wu Lei is very happy to get the beauty pill, for her, there is nothing more important than her appearance now.
She no longer wants the love of others, now she only loves herself more selfishly.
And then go and occupy one handsome young man after another.
When Wu Lei learned that the beauty pill was sold to her by Zhou Xiaodie, she was even happier.
She couldn't see Zhou Xiaodie's cultivation at all. Wu Lei herself is just a martial artist in the Ying Heaven Realm. She was able to have this kind of cultivation at such an age, and she still relied on the power of the elixir.
Although Mu Qing's personality is distorted to the point of perversion, he has always been very generous to this titular wife in terms of pills. This is also the only capital that Mu Qing can get his hands on.
Zhou Xiaodie pretends to know nothing about the situation in Dompo City and is bargaining with the butler.
"I told you, our lady is the granddaughter of the city lord and the wife of Master Mu Qing, and she is one of the most noble people in Dongbo City. It's good enough to be able to use these spirit coins to collect your goods, think about it. "The housekeeper is desperately trying to lower the price with Zhou Xiaodie. In this way, he will be able to earn more spirit coins from Wu Lei.
Wu Lei has always known about this kind of thing, but she pretended not to know, after all, she also had to give these people a way to live. She grew up in the City Lord's Mansion since she was a child, and she was familiar with these things. It's naturally easy to do.
"Ma'am. When the housekeeper saw Wu Lei coming over, he hurriedly closed his mouth and greeted Wu Lei.
"Honorable Madam, we have come thousands of miles here to do business and buy and sell goods, please give me a fair price. Zhou Xiaodie saw that it was Wu Lei who deliberately said in the tone of a businessman.
"This little brother is really handsome, by the way, you are from the Qingxuan Empire, it is really hard to travel so far. So be it. I want all your goods, and you can make a price. This is the first time Wu Lei has seen Zhou Xiaodie dressed as a man. I was immediately attracted by my handsome face and temperament.
"Since you said so, I might as well obey the previous price. Zhou Xiaodie responded.
"My brother doesn't look like a businessman, so honest. In fact, you can ask for a higher price. Wu Lei teased.
"Madam, we pay the most attention to honesty in business, and how many spirit coins should be how many spirit coins are how many spirit coins. In this way, the business will continue to flow, and there will never be a matter of sitting on the ground and raising prices. Zhou Xiaodie pretended not to understand what Wu Lei meant.
"My little brother and I are very close to each other, so let's stay today and have a light meal together, how about it?" said Wu Lei, who took Zhou Xiaodie's hand.
Zhou Xiaodie was deliberately startled and hurriedly withdrew her hand from Wu Lei's hand.
"That's not good, ma'am. Zhou Xiaodie pretended to excuse herself.
"Let's make friends, in the future, you can transport things from Qingxuan City, and I will accept them all, how about it? I can also help you get the goods you want at the lowest price." Wu Lei believed that her words would not make Zhou Xiaodie refuse again.
"Madam, that's not good. Zhou Xiaodie pretended to hesitate.
"What's wrong, if you want us to make friends, we will all be friends in the future, so naturally we have to take care of each other, what do you say, by the way, the beauty pill is also from you, such a good goods, my sister still wants to charge more." Wu Lei said about the beauty pill.
"Ah, it turns out that it was your sister who took away the beauty pill, this is really fate. Zhou Xiaodie knows that the drama is almost over now, and if she is hypocritical, she is afraid that she will miss the best time to get close to Wu Lei.
"Yes, look at it, brother, how close you are to your sister. With that, Wu Lei took Zhou Xiaodie's hand again and walked to the living room.
This time, Zhou Xiaodie did not refuse, but let her take her hand and go inside.
When Wu Lei took Zhou Xiaodie's hand, she had a very unreal feeling. These hands are simply so beautiful, smooth and delicate, they are really rare hands in the world.
Thinking of this, Wu Lei held Zhou Xiaodie's hand and clenched it tighter.
I'm afraid even a man knows what this means.
Zhou Xiaodie did not resist, which made Wu Lei even happier.
Soon someone prepared a sumptuous meal.
Wu Lei pulled Zhou Xiaodie to eat and chat. The two seem to be old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. The more you talk, the more speculative it becomes.
In fact, Wu Lei didn't know that all the information that Xiao Che gave Zhou Xiaodie about Wu Lei had been memorized by Zhou Xiaodie.
Those materials were obtained by Niu Blacksmith, He Cuihua, Su Mu, Xiao Che, and Dongya with great effort.
Among them, Wu Lei's habits, preferences, experience from childhood to adulthood, family background, and family members are clearly introduced. Many of them were bought by Xiao Che for a lot of spirit coins from the housekeepers, maids, and servants beside Wu Lei.
Of course, Wu Lei didn't know this, and she now regarded Zhou Xiaodie as a confidant.
Even Wu Lei felt that Zhou Xiaodie was the prince charming sent to her by God. Now she suddenly discovers that she doesn't have the only possessiveness for Zhou Xiaodie like she does for other men. She couldn't bear to blaspheme Zhou Xiaodie's beauty.
Thinking of this, Wu Lei was shocked.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, and this was the first time she had such emotions for a man.
Naturally, Zhou Xiaodie didn't know what she was thinking. Looking at the woman sitting across from her, she was gradually opening up to her, even a little woman. Zhou Xiaodie knows very well that this is a psychopathic poisonous woman.
In this way, Zhou Xiaodie and Wu Lei became "friends". Zhou Xiaodie lied that she had just entered the city today, and that she had no place to stay, and that the men hired from the Qingxuan Empire had also been dismissed. He said that he would wait until he had collected enough goods in Dongbo City before returning to the Qingxuan Empire. When the time comes, we will recruit temporary buddies. I'm going to find an inn to settle in.
Zhou Xiaodie's words convinced Wu Lei. She sent someone to check it during the day, which was basically the same as what Zhou Xiaodie said, which made Wu Lei believe in Zhou Xiaodie's identity even more. I heard Zhou Xiaodie say that she wanted to find an inn by herself. Of course, Wu Lei wouldn't let Zhou Xiaodie leave like this.
"Good brother, if you don't dislike your sister here, just stay here, and when you have free time, you can talk to your sister. Sister, there are so many places here, you can pick and choose the room at will. Wu Lei tried her best to let Zhou Xiaodie stay.
Zhou Xiaodie shirked it, and finally agreed to stay.
Seeing this, Wu Lei had indescribable joy in her heart.
In this way, Zhou Xiaodie came to Wu Lei's side smoothly.
It was even easier for Wen Renjing to enter, she bribed the housekeeper and successfully became the maid in the house.
Wu Lei will not ask about these little things, and everything is decided by the housekeeper.
In this way, the two girls smoothly entered Wu Lei's side, paying attention to her every move.
Mu Qing's matter soon spread throughout the city. Wu Lei couldn't sit still. Although she and Mu Qing are no longer husband and wife, after all, Mu Qing is still her husband in name. If Mu Qing finishes the egg, he will also be unlucky. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Wu Lei had to come out to help Mu Qing.
"Lei Lei, are you okay?" On this day, Mu Qing came to Wu Lei's mansion to look for her, and the conversation between the two in the room naturally couldn't hide from Zhou Xiaodie.
Zhou Xiaodie has been living in the room next to Wu Lei for the past few days, and Zhou Xiaodie knows every night that a man has entered Wu Lei's room, and then becomes a corpse the next morning. It is precisely because of this that she knows what a vicious woman Wu Lei is.
With her Supreme Realm cultivation to infiltrate the mansion, there are no secrets here that can escape her detection. Soon she found a dry well in the forbidden area of the backyard. Inside are the corpses of men who have been mutilated by Wu Lei over the years.
If it weren't for her father Wu Gang's ignorance of her, and if it weren't for Mu Qing's huge psychological trauma to her, Wu Lei would not have become what she is today, but who can be blamed for all this, it can only be said that this is her fate.
"What's better or worse for me, that's all. Wu Lei's answer did not have a trace of emotion.
"I don't know who it is these days that has slandered my reputation all over the city, and I have no choice but to come to you for help. Please help me for the sake of our husband and wife. Saying that, Mu Qing actually knelt down to Wu Lei.
If it weren't for Zhou Xiaodie's own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Mu Qing, who seemed omnipotent to many people, was such a soft bone.
"Coward!" Wu Lei said coldly when she saw Mu Qing like this.
"Yes, I'm just a coward, garbage, garbage, and now it's only you who can save me, please, save me. "The current Mu Qing is simply indescribable.
"Hmph, what you want is my grandfather, I'll tell him, but whether he will help you or not is not up to me. But anyway, you are also my nominal husband, and I will never watch you end up like this. You go, I won't let go of those who slander you. Saying that, Wu Lei walked into the inner room without knowing anything.
Hearing Wu Lei's reply, Mu Qing also stood up from the ground. For him, these are nothing, he has been insulted a lot more since he was a child than kneeling, kneeling is nothing.
Zhou Xiaodie saw Mu Qing's nature now. This Mu Qing is a waste at all.
She told Wen Renjing about this as soon as possible, and asked him to pass on the news to Xiao Che immediately. It is inconvenient for her to go out by herself, but Wen Renjing can go out at any time.
"And such a thing, hahaha, it's just a strange thing. Hearing Wen Renjing's words, Xiao Che and they couldn't laugh.
When Wen Renjing returned to the Su family, Xiao Che, Zi Wuji, Niu Blacksmith, He Cuihua, Su Mu and Su Ya were all there. After she finished telling what Zhou Xiaodie saw, these people all had contempt for Mu Qing.
"But this guy is also a talent, we can't despise him too much, since he has been able to worship under the Great Sect Master of Alchemy for so many years, and can still mix well in this Dongbo City, there must be something special about him. Zi Wuji heard something different.
"Yes, how many great people in this eastern city come and go from here every day. But over the years, Mu Qing's position has never been shaken, and this Mu Qing will not be as simple as we seem. The bull blacksmith agreed with Zi Wouji's words.
"It doesn't matter if he's a dragon or a worm, this time he met us, and it's useless. Xiao Che said confidently.
"That's right. "People are not arrogant, but they are confident in themselves.
Wen Renjing didn't stay here long before returning to Wu Lei's mansion. Zi Wuji sent each other all the way, and it wasn't until they were about to arrive at the place that the two were reluctant to separate.
The relationship between Zi Wuji and Wen Renjing is very good.
Although Zi Wuji was worried, he also believed that Wen Renjing would definitely be able to get things done. Besides, they are all martial artists, and since they have chosen martial arts, nothing is smooth sailing.
In the past, Wen Renjing didn't understand this, but now that she has grown up, Zi Wuji will naturally not stop her, but will absolutely support her.
These experiences are a must for a warrior. What's more, with Zhou Xiaodie here, I believe she will be able to protect Wen Renjing and Zhouquan.
Now Mu Qing can't sit still, he has been running to Gu Tie every day for the past few days, but Gu Tie doesn't see him at all. This annoyed him.
He also knew why Gu Tie didn't see him, that is, he made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter. Gu Tie didn't give him face so much, Mu Qing even hated Gu Tie.
Only then did he realize how weak and helpless he was. Now it depends on Wu Lei's grandfather, whether the city lord Wu Bo will help him. Otherwise, there would be no way for him to stay in Dompo any longer.
Xiao Che's intention is obvious, that is, to force Mu Qing to leave Dongbo City, as long as they get out of here, they can take Mu Qing's life at any time.
Xiao Che and the others didn't want to move him in Dongbo City, after all, the Xuanfu still had to come here to develop, and it was not appropriate to make a feud with Qi Xiuyuan at this time. In any case, he was one of the three great teachers of the Dongyue Kingdom.
