Old Madam Wei heaved a long sigh of relief.
She looked at her eldest grandson standing in front of her, then looked down at the thing that was bulging in her wide sleeves. She thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, “Do you really not need me to do it?”
Ghostfear said, “No need, Grandmother.”
Old Madam Wei smacked her lips regretfullv. Last time, she had not prepared enough to “subdue” Sixth Brother. She even felt that she had not performed well. This time, she had asked Baili Chen to carefully prepare for the entire night. The words “Crane Top Red” and “Intestine Piercing Poison” had been strictly screened!
It guaranteed that everything would be fine— In the end, it was suddenly useless?
Old Madam Wei coughed lightly and rubbed her hands. “Well, actually, Grandmother can do it.”
“There’s really no need,” Ghost Fear rejected mercilessly. Old Madam Wei opened her mouth. “Then, alright, I’ll listen to you.”
At the Wei family.
The sisters-in-law sat in the pavilion to cool down.
The Li family had news this morning that Matriarch Li was not feeling well. Madam Li had brought Wei Xiyue back to her maiden home to visit her relatives and was not in the residence.
Third Sister-in-law, Madam Chen, Fourth Sister-in-law, Madam Lan, and Fifth Sister-in-law, Madam Jiang, were eating fruits leisurely. Su Xiaoxiao, who was slowly walking up the steps, was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Not only was she tired, but she also hurt. Everywhere hurt.
She held her waist with one hand and the pillar of the pavilion with the other. She panted and said helplessly, “We agreed to teach me qinggong… Why do you still want me to be a sandbag?”
Madam Jiang peeled a lotus seed pod and said, “This is how you practice qinggong. We’ll chase after you and beat you up. When you can outrun us, your qinggong will be mastered!”
No, no, no. She did not believe a word Fifth Sister-in-law said!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Madam Chen aggrievedly.
Third Sister-in-law was the worst at lying. She only trusted her.
Madam Chen slowly nodded. “That’s indeed the case. We only used 10% of our strength today. We’ll get 20% tomorrow. You have to work harder.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s body swayed.
She was already so miserable with 10% of their strength. What did she want with 20% of her strength?
She shouldn’t have sent Su MO away just now…
She was so stupid, really!
Su Xiaoxiao was on the brink of tears as she looked at the three of them. “Don’t you… have any internal cultivation methods?”
The three of them paused in their eating.
She had forgotten to give Seventh Sister-in-law the qinggong cultivation technique…
Su Xiaoxiao, who had been tricked on her first day of learning qinggong, expressed that she would never love again.
“Hehe, Seventh Sister-in-law, sit. Come and rest for a while. Fifth Sister-in-law will peel lotus seeds for you to eat!” Madam Jiang smiled and comforted Su Xiaoxiao.
Madam Lan and Madam Chen also contributed the lotus seeds they had just peeled.
The three of them were a little embarrassed and immediately changed the topic. They talked about Matriarch Wei going to look for Ghostfear.
“Do you think Grandmother will succeed?” Madam Lan asked.
Madam Jiang peeled a lotus seed. “No! Big Brother is very stubborn. He won’t come back with Grandma!”
Madam Lan sighed. “That’s true. He has become a death warrior. He definitely doesn’t want to come back and make us sad.”
Su Xiaoxiao voiced her doubts. “Why does it make people sad to become a sacrificial soldier? Is it because the sacrificial soldier has forgotten his past?
But since he has forgotten, why is he afraid that everyone will be sad?”
“It has nothing to do with memories,” Madam Jiang said in a low voice. “The sacrificial soldiers used extreme cultivation techniques to increase their strength. Their lifespans are very short.”
There was a price to pay for being strong. They used a shorter time to become more powerful experts. Their bodies were severely overdrawn, and they often could not live to an old age like ordinary people.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the short period of weakness after Slave Xiu attacked.
Perhaps after a certain attack, the sacrificial soldiers would die of exhaustion.
She wondered if the pharmacy had medicine to extend the lifespan of sacrificial soldiers.
As they spoke, a servant suddenly came to report that Old Madam Wei had returned to the residence.
Mdm Jiang was stunned. “So soon? How thoroughly did Eldest Brother reject
Grandmother? It’s over, it’s over. Grandmother must be very sad! I’ll go to
Teacher Ling’s to pick up Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu! With them accompanying
Grandmother, Grandmother can be happier…”
Madam Lan also said, “I’ll go see when Xiyue will be back.”
At this moment, they could only use the little fellows’ cuteness to divert the Dowager Duchess’s attention.
Su Xiaoxiao looked into the distance and said awkwardly, “I think… you don’t have to get busy anymore.”
They followed her gaze and were instantly dumbfounded.
What’s the situation?
Grandmother and Big Brother… returned to the residence together?
That man in the black robe was Big Brother, right?
After fighting last night, it was not difficult to recognize him even if he wore a
new mask..
