"lady."
Soon after, Lei Ren opened the door of his second wife, Zhuo Yuxiang.
A beautiful woman in a purple gauze dress came out from behind the screen. When she saw it was Lei Ren, she rolled her eyes slightly, snorted softly, and turned around.
An extremely unpleasant look.
"Madam..." Lei Ren squeezed out a smile and moved closer, "We haven't seen you for a long time, why are you looking down on me again?"
"You also know it's been a long time since we've seen each other?" Zhuo Yuxiang said angrily, "Do you know how long it's been since you've been here?"
"Am I too busy lately?" Lei Ren said, "Madam, there is no need to be so distant. I know everything you do in the study every day."
"Ah?" Zhuo Yuxiang's eyebrows twitched, "What do you know?"
"I have heard from my servants that every day when I want to clean the study, I see my wife sweeping the desk, cleaning the seats, wiping the pillars, and dusting the window sills for me..." Lei Ren said with a smile, "Mrs. This move was clearly made with me in mind."
Every time he said something, Zhuo Yuxiang's eyes trembled. It wasn't until he finished speaking that the woman's eyes softened.
After a pause, she stretched out a finger and poked Lei Ren's chest, "You heartless person, how have you ever come to the house in the past few years? I miss you, where else can I go except to the study?"
"In the past few years, for the sake of the Lei family's foundation, I have neglected my wife. I deserve to die." Lei Ren said with a sincere face.
"Husband, you have taken on thirteen concubines in the past few years for the sake of the Lei family. I guess you are exhausted." Zhuo Yuxiang also looked touched.
"..." Lei Ren was silent for a moment.
When Zhuo Yuxiang, a disciple of the Taiyin Sect, was willing to marry him, a member of a family from the border of the Western Region, he was naturally very moved. It really helped him a lot in the first few years.
However, when they got along later, Zhuo Yuxiang always relied on favors and became arrogant. Not only did she not give the eldest lady face, she didn't even care about his face, and she would always fall out regardless of the occasion. Lei Ren was inevitably conflicted and didn't want to see her anymore.
Although Zhuo Yuxiang felt aggrieved, he actually also had a lot of bitterness.
Even if you are a disciple of the Taiyin Sect, there is nothing special about you. When you reach your age, you should go down the mountain to practice, and you will not stay in this sect. Although the Lei family is not an ancient family, it is still a giant, and I am the legitimate son of the Cheng family. No matter how I look at you, I'm more than good enough to match you. You always look like you look down on others. Who wants to look at you?
But of course he couldn't say that at the moment, he just coaxed carefully: "Madam, please don't say that. No matter how many women there are in the family, you will always be the first in my heart."
"Okay." Zhuo Yuxiang waved her hand, "Just tell me what's going on."
"Back then, you used the Taiyin Sect's secret method to help my father imprint a picture scroll on Guan'er's back, avoiding many prying eyes." Lei Ren said slowly: "Now it's time to take down the picture. .”
"Oh?" Although Zhuo Yuxiang knew it well, she still pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is willing to pay a sky-high price to buy that map, and they are very powerful." Lei Ren said: "After thinking about it, since they have come to the door, they must have definite information. If they don't sell it, then the whole family will run away. How easy is it to move to a place where he won't find it? And that picture is just a fragment, and it will be of no use keeping it for all these years. Why not just sell it to them in exchange for a windfall."
"This is a good thing." Zhuo Yuxiang nodded and said, "We can't find the rest of the picture in our hands, so what's the use of keeping it?"
"It's just a pity." Lei Ren sighed: "It is said that it is an immortal treasure that hides the secret of reaching the sky, and its value cannot be measured by spiritual stone coins."
"That kind of thing is not something we can keep." Zhuo Yuxiang said.
"Yes." Lei Ren nodded.
Even the existence of Thunder Castle is not even mentioned openly, isn't it? They only dare to ask for a deal in secret. If there is even the slightest hint of this legendary fairy treasure, it may cause disaster. Even the ten sects may not be able to withstand it.
What's more, it's Xiao Lei's family.
…
"Father, second mother..."
Lei Guan looked at the two people who suddenly came to his room late at night and was slightly confused as to what was going on.
"Guan'er, don't panic, it's just that you have to take off that thing on your body." Lei Ren said.
Lei Guan's eyes lit up. She knew she was carrying something on her body since she was a child, but she didn't quite understand what it was. Now that I heard that I could finally take it off, I felt relieved.
Lei Ren's hand gently pressed on her shoulder, and Lei Guan immediately passed out.
"Master, please step back."
Zhuo Yuxiang stepped forward. Except for the clothes on her back, there was a bright red line on her fair and smooth back, like a scar.
call out--
Zhuo Yuxiang made the formula with both hands, changed it several times, and then pointed at the red line with both hands, scoffing.
The red line cracked in response, brilliance rose, and the white light opened to both sides like a book, revealing a picture scroll below. Zhuo Yuxiang picked up the golden scroll with two fingers.
call--
In the blink of an eye, the storm settled down, and there was no longer any red line behind Lei Guan, and it was as smooth and smooth as before.
Zhuo Yuxiang covered her with a quilt, then turned around, handed the broken picture to Lei Ren, and said softly: "When I sealed this picture for your father, we had just gotten married, and now more than ten years have passed in a flash. ”
"It's been really hard these years, madam." Lei Ren held her hand.
That night he naturally slept peacefully in the second lady's room, and got up and left at dawn. After he left, Zhuo Yuxiang freshened up and went straight to Fang Zizi's place.
"Second Madam?" Fang Zizai saw her arrival and immediately welcomed him in. He looked around before closing the door.
"I just want to ask you one thing." Zhuo Yuxiang warned: "If I want you to elope with me, will you leave?"
"Ah this..." Fang Zizai was suddenly startled, "Leaving the Lei family? If I can be with you, I will naturally be happy, but we..."
"That's enough." Zhuo Yuxiang immediately said: "Do you know who came to trade last night?"
"I know." Fang Zizai nodded and said, "It's Du Wuhen from Thunder Castle."
"It turned out to be him. No wonder he had this matter when he came..." Zhuo Yuxiang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have prepared a fake picture scroll in advance, and the one given to Lei Ren is the one. And the real one is The picture scroll is here with me. If Lei Ren discusses with you the time for tonight's transaction, you should ask him to set it at the third watch, and I will find the person to trade in advance at the second watch. After we get the money, we can go far away and we can rebuild A Lei family!”
"Do you really have the Immortal Hidden Picture here?" Fang Zizai was shocked several times by her words, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was feasible.
He works in the Lei family just for money and resources. If he has the opportunity to be his own master, why not do it?
Without thinking much, he said: "Okay! I'll go with you!"
"At the second watch, you will wait for me at the west mountain pass. I will go to you immediately after the transaction." Zhuo Yuxiang immediately made a plan.
After the two agreed, she did not return to her room, but went to another worship courtyard.
"Yuxiang, why are you here?" Chen Huang was surprised when he saw the second lady.
In the past, she would never come to the door so openly.
"I'm just asking you, are you willing to fly far away with me?" Zhuo Yuxiang said straight to the point.
"Ah?" Chen Huang was also stunned, and his shocked look was exactly the same as Fang Zizai's.
"I have obtained the real Immortal Treasure Map. I will trade with the man from Thunder Castle tonight before Lei Ren." Zhuo Yuxiang said directly: "When the time comes to get that windfall, are you willing to follow me? Walk?"
"This, this, this..." Chen Huang rubbed his hands nervously, "Of course I am willing."
"Okay." Zhuo Yuxiang nodded, "In the second watch tonight, you will release all the monsters raised in the garden to create chaos in the house, and then go to Dongshan Pass to wait for me. I will go to you immediately after the transaction. Leave together!"
"Okay!" Chen Huang also agreed solemnly.
After looking for these two people, Zhuo Yuxiang came to the guest room again.
At this moment, Du Wuhen, accompanied by the Lei family, visited the Lei family again. Naturally, Zhuo Yuxiang couldn't find her. She only left a letter in the guest room.
"What you want is in my hands. For the second update tonight, come to the same place as last night. Bring the money and I will make a deal with you. Except for me, everyone else is lying to you."
