"Anyway, don't worry, I will never fight against my wife. I'm not crazy."
Chang Ning's eyes were full of doubts.
In front of the clear pool, the blue waves are full of colors. All kinds of rare and beautiful lotuses are dotted on the water. Several white cranes are dancing under the flower trees. Kingfishers surround the gold-painted beams. It is like a fairyland on earth.
This is the Shuanglian Huachi Palace where the Yin family's twin sisters lived since childhood.
Cai Zhao exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this grandeur and sophistication. Compared with this place, our Luoying Valley is like a wealthy country man's home who just had two full meals." She suddenly thought, "Qingque Sect is very rich. What?"
Chang Ning: "Yes, very rich."
"how do you know?"
"I knew it when I saw that even the eaves and corners of this palace were made of gold."
Cai Zhao looked in admiration: "Brother Chang Shi has real knowledge and insights."
"Award after award, there is so much glittering gold here that I don't even think I can see it."
In fact, although the Double Lotus Flower Pond Palace is decorated with wealth, it is still elegant and graceful, and is quite tasteful. But when the two sang together, Dai Fengchi's face turned green.
Entering the palace, they saw Yin Qinglian sitting high on the golden lotus-shaped throne directly above, Qi Lingbo sitting beside him triumphantly, and to the left and right of the mother and daughter were a row of maids with swords hanging from their waists, all of whom looked evil. Behind the maids Then there is a row of strong servants holding snake spears that are eight feet long. Seeing Cai Zhao and Chang Ning come in, all the gangsters turned and glared fiercely.
Although the formation was ridiculous, Cai Zhao still discovered that a few of these dog legs had extraordinary skills.
When Yin Sulian saw people coming, she said coldly: "Hey, you are finally here. We are really full of distinguished guests."
Cai Zhao had a bright smile on his face: "It's easy to talk, but don't be so polite, Master. It's sunny and sunny today. Could it be that Master is here to enjoy the flowers and drink tea with me?"
Yin Sulian slapped the armrest of the golden lotus chair hard: "Stop pretending! From the moment you stepped onto the cliff of thousands of rivers and mountains, you uttered arrogant words and disrespected me, and bullied my son several times! Today, I will punish you as my master's wife. I will punish you for disrespecting your elders and senior sister!"
"Master's words are contradictory, right? It's clearly Senior Sister who has repeatedly bullied others." Cai Zhao smiled, "As for being disrespectful to your elders, it's even more nonsense. I'm just looking at Master, how can I be disrespectful to my elders?"
Yin Sulian sneered: "I know you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and your skills are good. Today I will see how powerful you are! Come here, please Miss Cai kneel down, offer tea, kowtow, and apologize to my son." !”
As soon as these words were spoken, both left and right dog legs took a step forward in an intimidating manner.
Qi Lingbo smiled brightly when he saw it, and laughed loudly: "There is also this man named Chang, let him kowtow to me to apologize! Pretending to be a mother-in-law, he brought the 'Shiquan Dabu Decoction' and invited them both to drink it, so he can be counted among me." A little thought from being a senior sister." She raised her hand, and a strong-armed woman with a sinewy face brought two bowls of dark stuff. The stench was overflowing and made people sick to smell it.
Cai Zhao held his nose in disgust: "Is this dug out of a cesspool? Senior Sister Lingbo tastes so strong."
Chang Ning's eyes flashed and he noticed that the well-dressed old woman named 'Mother-in-law' had bright eyes, but her energy was restrained. She should be a first-rate master of external training.
"Stop holding on." Qi Lingbo couldn't help laughing. "You bully me again and again. Do you think I'm a fool? But I am a senior sister after all. There are many adults. As long as you two If you kowtow to me and apologize, then drink this, we will have our grudges settled!"
Cai Zhao: "Senior Sister Lingbo is really broad-minded. But what if I neither kowtow to apologize nor drink this smelly stuff?"
Yin Sulian's face darkened: "It's not up to you! Come here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding servants drew their swords and swung their spears. Dai Fengchi also put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Dozens of gleaming sharp weapons were aimed at Cai Zhao and Chang Ning, and they were approaching. potential.
Cai Zhao looked at these losers and laughed angrily: "Yesterday at the apprenticeship banquet, Master just said in front of everyone that Brother Chang Shi and I should not be bullied. You are so aggressive. Aren't you afraid that Master will blame you later?"
Chang Ning said leisurely: "You are overthinking, these are not disciples of the sect. They are all private guards raised by the Yin family, and they only obey the orders of Yin. When Mrs. Qinglian and Mrs. Sulian got married, the old sect leader Yin gave them two Each of the two daughters was married off with a bunch of people. If Zhao Tianba and Han Yisu hadn't gone crazy more than ten years ago, there would have been even more Yin family members in the Qingque Sect."
Mother Mao's eyebrows were covered with a dark look, and she said in a deep voice: "You two little bastards are talking nonsense. Do you think that the old sect leader is gone, and the girls of the Yin family will be bullied by others? Today I will let you know how powerful the Yin family is! Who is here? Ah, trap them!”
The dog-legs took a few steps forward again, surrounding Cai Zhao and Chang Ning with their sharp blades.
"Let's fight." Chang Ning said expressionlessly, "You can always find a reason, you can't suffer the immediate loss."
Cai Zhao frowned and said delicately: "Brother Chang Shi, don't open your mouth and shut up to fight and kill. My little sister is really frightened by such a weak woman. Let's consider peace as the most important thing."
Before Chang Ning could speak again, Cai Zhao took a step forward and recited loudly, "Brother Zhang San, I haven't seen your heroic figure for several months since we parted ways at Qianqiu Peak. My little sister misses you so much and worries about you day and night. I only hope that your heart will be like yours." my heart……"
"Shut up!" Yin Sulian's expression suddenly changed, she stood up excitedly and shouted, "Don't read any more!"
Qi Lingbo was stunned by his mother's roar, which made his ears ring.
Cai Zhao suppressed his smile and said quietly: "Master's wife, let's put peace first."
Yin Sulian trembled all over, pretending to be a mother-in-law, while supporting her, she shouted loudly: "Everyone, get out, retreat twenty steps from this hall and be on guard!"
This old woman was so powerful that all the gangsters retreated in unison. Qi Lingbo, who didn't know it, was still struggling but was pushed out by Po Po's mother-in-law. Dai Fengchi naturally followed. Chang Ning took a deep look at Cai Zhao, then turned around and left.
There were only three people left in the hall, Yin Sulian's mother-in-law and Cai Zhao.
"You, where did you see those letters?" Yin Sulian's voice trembled.
Cai Zhao: "How could I have these letters? They were naturally left by my aunt."
Po Po's mother-in-law is much smarter: "Don't even think about defrauding us with just a few words. We don't know anything about the letter!"
Cai Zhao was helpless: "Well, if you don't believe me, I can memorize a few more letters. I won't talk about Zhang San this time - Brother Zhizhen saw the letter as if he had met her before. A few days ago, I heard that my brother had a slight cough, and my younger sister was worried. I can't sleep well all night, my brother is sick and my heart is hurting, so I made a loquat ointment with my own hands..."
"Stop reading it!" Yin Sulian yelled.
"My wife's literary talent was quite good when she was young. She was catchy and sincere. It was much better than the memorial essay that Master read a few days ago." Cai Zhao rubbed his ears, "It's just that the date of signing was not very good. I wrote the first few letters. At that time, Master's wife should still be engaged to Master Qiu Renjie. The last few letters were even more serious. At that time, Old Sect Master Yin had just arranged a marriage between you and Master."
Yin Sulian stumbled and fell into her seat.
The pretended mother-in-law gritted her teeth and continued to deny: "It's just a few letters, who knows whether they are true or false, don't think you have a huge advantage!"
Cai Zhao: "It's just insignificant, I don't need to tell you. Anyway, I'm not the only one who has Master's handwriting. Aunt Zhixian has several letters written by Master. Guangtianmen should still have the letters written by Master to Mrs. Qinglian. There must also be some ladies from the Siqi sect. Comparing the handwriting will tell whether it is genuine or not."
Grandma Mao had a fierce look in her eyes and her knuckles cracked softly.
Yin Sulian's face turned pale and she said weakly: "Cai Pingshu was indeed on guard against me. He stole these letters with the intention of blackmailing me."
Cai Zhao smiled helplessly: "You and my aunt have known each other since childhood. Even though we have prejudices against each other, do you really have no idea whether my aunt will steal these letters?"
Yin Sulian's face turned pale.
"These letters were given to my aunt by Uncle Zhou's father. You just don't want to believe them."
"No, no, to...Zhuang Master Zhou is a humble gentleman, he won't do it, he won't do it..." Yin Sulian was still struggling, holding on to Granny Mao's arm like a drowning person.
"It's true that Uncle Zhou is a gentleman, but there are also gentlemen who are near and far. In Uncle Zhou's heart, it is much more important for my aunt to dispel her doubts than to keep your secret for my wife." Cai Zhao mocked.
Yin Sulian whimpered and covered her face in tears.
Grandma Mao said in a deep voice: "That's because Master Zhou trusts your aunt and knows that your aunt will not spread it everywhere."
Cai Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "...That's true, my aunt is not this kind of person."
"Then how did you see these letters!" Yin Sulian said anxiously.
Cai Zhao teased: "Master, you also have a daughter, but think about my aunt. With such a 'loving' elder like you, can my aunt allow me to go to the Qingque Sect unarmed to become a disciple?"
"What exactly do you want?" Grandma Mao took a step forward, her whole body filled with energy.
"I don't want to do anything." Cai Zhao said lightly, "The affairs of the previous generation belong to the previous generation, and the affairs of the next generation belong to the next generation. From now on, the matters between me, Senior Sister Lingbo and my fellow disciples, please, please Master, don’t interfere.”
…
The golden red sky dyed the entire Shuanglianhuachi Palace with indescribable beauty. On the way back to Qingjingzhai, Cai Zhao sniffed the fragrance of the surrounding vegetation and couldn't help but admire this beautiful scenery.
Chang Ning said unexpectedly: "So, does Mrs. Su Lian have an affair with Zhou Zhizhen?"
Cai Zhao was startled: "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Zhou is not that kind of person!"
"Then the goddess is intentional and Prince Xiang is ruthless."
Cai Zhao was discouraged: "Is it Chang Daxia who told you again?"
"You can almost guess it." Chang Ning strolled in the courtyard, "What you are reading should be a love letter written by Mrs. Su Lian when she was young, and it was written to the wrong person. When she was not married, she was either Qiu Renjie's fiancée or Qi Clan Master's. My fiancée, if those letters are seen, her reputation will be ruined."
Cai Zhao: "Then how do you know she is not writing to Qiu Renjie or Master?"
"If she had written to these two people, she wouldn't have been so panicked just now." Chang Ning smiled contemptuously.
He added: "Twenty years ago, there were three most famous rising stars in the martial arts world, Song Shijun, Wu Yuanying, and your uncle Zhou. Song Shijun had been engaged to Mrs. Qinglian for a long time, and my father said that he was romantically involved when he was young. , it attracts bees and butterflies, Mrs. Su Lian has stood up for her sister several times, so it shouldn’t be him."
"Wu Yuanying goes to the Qingque Sect every three days. There are plenty of places on the cliffs where we can have private meetings. Mrs. Su Lian doesn't need to write a letter, so only Master Zhou is left -"
"In terms of good looks and good conduct, he is also the leader among the three. Besides, your aunt can only get the letter written to him. Cai Nuxia has been kind all her life, and finally gave it to Yin Sulian. Son, it’s so satisfying.” He smiled and touched his hands.
Cai Zhao was silent for a long time and then said: "You were right in the first part, but you were wrong in the second part. Those letters were not given to me by my aunt."
Chang Ning was startled: "Then it's your maternity who protects you."
Cai Zhao shook his head: "No."
She looked up at the majestic sunset, but her chest felt a little tight, "Those letters were rummaged through boxes and cabinets when I was a child, and I accidentally found them among my aunt's old things."
"Actually, my aunt has forgotten these letters a long time ago. She has never thought about using such things to manipulate people in her life."
"She burned those letters and taught me that 'blackmailing someone with secrets is not an aboveboard thing to do.' What I just recited was just a few articles that I had memorized at that time."
Chang Ning stared at the girl: "But you still used those letters to blackmail Yin Sulian."
"right."
Cai Zhao stopped, his painted eyes were unusually quiet, "Because I'm not an aunt."
The last few words of her conversation with Yin Sulian just now came to her mind——
"Are you really going to say nothing as long as your wife doesn't interfere with your affairs in the sect?"
"good."
"How can we trust you? If you change your mind, you have to hand over those letters!"
"If you believe me, I won't take it out, so you'd better believe me."
"you……"
"Forget it." Yin Sulian interrupted her mother-in-law and looked up at Cai Zhao, "I believe you. You were raised by Cai Pingshu, and she has only followed the right path her whole life, so I believe you."
When the palace door closed behind him, Cai Zhao heard Grandma Mao trying to persuade Yin Sulian——
"Don't you still know who Cai Pingshu is, madam? She relies on her martial arts skills to be world-famous and never bothers to threaten others, let alone a weak woman like madam. She will never put a finger on madam. That's why she has been here for so many years. Nothing is wrong. If it hadn't been for that little girl coming to Qingque Sect, Cai Pingshu wouldn't have remembered those letters..."
The golden-red sunset became more and more intense, and all the flowers, plants and trees lost their color.
Cai Zhao laughed at himself: "It turns out they all know. It turns out they have always known what my aunt is like."
This is the most ridiculous thing - Yin Sulian and others are not prejudiced against Cai Pingshu because of misunderstanding, but they still hate Cai Pingshu despite knowing that she is aboveboard, and even take advantage of her aboveboardness.
Chang Ning suddenly understood the sadness and anger in the girl's heart.
He looked at the girl's slender and white back neck, stretched out his slender palms, and then clenched them tightly, "So, what's the use of being angry?"
Cai Zhao was surprised when he heard Chang Ning's cold and perverse words.
"You are angry, you feel wronged, you feel worthless for your aunt, but what's the use? Yin Sulian is still alive and well."
