True Lord Yun Mao had just been promoted to True Lord at that time. He was young and promising, and he was also young and energetic. The couple was very loving and their life was very happy.
No one thought that this simple family would experience such changes after that, going crazy and dying, and losing a family.
The culprit of everything is a weak woman.
True Lord Yunmao's wife's name is Lei, a young lady from the Xu family. The Xu family is a medium-sized family in the main city. It also has a simple population. Although it is not as powerful as those big families, it still lives a prosperous life and has no worries about food and clothing. Also because the clan members are good at alchemy, they are somewhat thin-faced among the middle and low-level families.
However, among the real upper-class female nuns, Xu Lei was almost considered a down-and-out young lady, so she couldn't hang out together. And those children of well-established aristocratic families would not choose a woman from such a small family as a Taoist companion.
Therefore, it was purely fate that Xu Lei met Wuying and became the wife of the head of the Yundao family.
The process of the two getting acquainted was very old-fashioned. Whether it was the TV series Ningxia watched in his previous life or the popular story books on the mainland in this life, they were all written badly.
The hero saves the beauty.
I won’t go into details about the process, it’s just the same old routine anyway. Wu Ying rescued the two sisters in distress and left to do his own things. He didn't take it to heart and just thought it was a very ordinary encounter.
I never thought that the two would have such a fate, and not long after, they met again at a banquet. It's just that Wu Ying attended as the head of the fifth family, and Xu Lei was just a peripheral guest invited by the way.
At that time, the two met unexpectedly in the yard again. Sometimes fate is so clever, and the fate of two people is connected like this.
Xu Lei is a woman with a cheerful personality and lacks the reserve and reservedness of a female nun from a big family. If they hadn't known that she was from a good family, Wu Ying might have thought that she was the kind of casual cultivator who was born and raised and came and went like the wind.
It's just that a female cultivator with such a temperament somehow suits Wu Ying's eyes. The other party is also very insightful in cultivation, and her cultivation level is not bad for a female cultivator of the same age. The two of them are very in tune with each other in some places, and naturally they get closer and closer.
However, within a few years, the relationship between the two warmed up, and they soon reached the point of discussing marriage.
There are not so many estimates for marriages in the world of cultivation. Although big families also pay attention to three matchmakers and six appointments, they are not so strict. Some Taoist monks may just set up a table and eat casually if they see each other right.
However, it was no small matter for the head of the fifth family to decide on a Taoist couple. With the family's insistence, the two held a grand Taoist couple ceremony.
The Xu family also moved to Yundao at the invitation of Wuying.
The couple really got along very well after their marriage.
The fifth family is not the kind of family where the head of the family can decide life or death. The head of the family is more like a position. As the leader of the family, he leads the direction of the entire family.
In fact, there are still many powerful people in the clan who are hiding in the world and cultivating in isolation. They are closed to death and cannot easily come out. Of course, there are also some who have taken a back seat and are active in the Presbyterian Church and participate in family affairs.
The fifth family didn't care whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied with the mistress, they all treated her with courtesy according to the rules. They hoped that the other party would give birth to an heir with strong blood and extraordinary talents. After all, the direct blood line was too thin.
As for why they are obsessed with their direct bloodline, this involves another secret, so I won’t go into details here.
Anyway, everyone is looking forward to the two of them giving birth to a new bloodline soon. It's just that I don't know if it's because of God's unkindness, and the harmonious couple have been unable to conceive a child.
Xu Lei is about to form a pill. This is not good news. Wuying is already a true king, and Xu Lei is a foundation-building monk. It is relatively easy for the two of them to conceive a child.
But under such circumstances, the two of them could not conceive a bloodline. If Xu Lei formed a pill, after some spiritual transformation, her optimized body would be even less suitable for giving birth to an heir. The other party's advancement will make it more difficult for the two of them to have children.
Therefore, many rumors arose within the clan. Of course, a large number of them have malicious intentions and are originally directed at the direct lineage of True Lord Yun Mao. Therefore, Zhenjun Yunmao didn't pay much attention to it. He turned around and caught several juniors who were gossiping and gave him a lesson.
But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that Xu Lei doesn't care. Although she has a bright temper and is not coy, she is still a wife after all. Especially since she married into the fifth family as a daughter of a small family, she would naturally receive more comments.
Even if her husband didn't care and didn't seem to care, she would still care. Especially on some occasions, the family members of the fifth family made sarcastic or persuasive remarks openly or secretly, which made Xu Lei feel a knot in her heart even if she didn't want to care.
Then for several more years, the two of them still had nothing to do. Wu Ying didn't realize it, but Xu Lei changed her mind amidst the discussions of those people day after day. She has not been in good spirits these years, and she frequently invited her single sister Xu Yi to accompany her.
Wu Ying thought it was because his wife was in poor health and felt lonely at home alone. Little did he know that the other person appeared to be in poor health, but in fact he suffered from a serious heart problem due to the serious injuries caused by leaving messages day after day.
Her heart was almost divided into two people. On the one hand, she felt powerless and painfully blamed herself for not being able to conceive a child with the same blood as the two of them. On the other hand, she resented her husband for being careless and not noticing her pain, and for not taking more effective measures against those seriously injured villains. .
One doesn't understand women's hearts, and the other doesn't want to talk about it. The days are destined to come in such a bumpy way. Xu Lei also lived in such a decadent state without Wu Ying noticing.
At this time, Xu Yi gave her a lot of comfort.
Her younger sister is not very talented and has a timid temperament, and is almost unwilling to interact with outsiders. Even if her parents arranged a marriage for her, they were tried hard and they even fled to her sister's husband's fifth family. Over time, the Xu family gave up and left it to their own devices. After all, monks live longer, so waiting ten more years is nothing.
Xu Lei felt that her sister and she had the same problem, and they were just two sisters who were suffering from fate, so she often invited each other to be guests.
One day, Xu Yi talked about what she had seen and heard outside for a short time before saying goodbye and going back. Xu Lei, who was alone again, had a ridiculous idea.
Since she couldn't conceive a child, why not follow the example of her distant uncle's mistress and give birth to a child through the womb?
Although the distant uncle and his family are just mortals, they should be similar in the world of cultivation... right?
This is a crazy idea. If Wu Ying knew about it, he would definitely criticize it for being ridiculous and scold this woman who was so obsessed with it.
However, True Lord Yun Mao did not know. He was still worried about his wife's declining health, and was thinking about taking her out for a while to recuperate.
