Wife is hell

Chapter 40

Jiang Mu was amazed to find that there was such a beautiful Taoist nun in the world, who was like a fairy from another world.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to greet him, he quickly and respectfully returned the greeting.

"Mu Jiang has met the True Man of the Mortal World."

Su Meixin smiled slightly, ignoring the eye roll from her friend Tang Jinxian beside her. She raised her whisk in a gesture and said in a clear voice, "Young Master Mu, please sit down."

"it is good."

Jiang Mu sat opposite the two women.

Unexpectedly, just as he sat down, he heard Su Meixin say, "Please take off your clothes, Young Master Mu."

"Ok?"

Jiang Mu was stunned.

Wait, are they going to start speeding as soon as we get in the car?

Not given any preparation at all?
Su Meixin said gently, "Young Master Mu, please don't misunderstand. I am a good friend of Manager Tang. I have been entrusted by her to come and investigate the illness caused by a spiritual object that is entangled with her."

I've heard that the spirit seems to be connected to you, young master, so I'd like to try and find clues from you to find a solution.

"That's it."

Jiang Mu suddenly realized and glanced at Tang Jinxian.

Sure enough, the woman had been trying to find a way to break free from the influence of the "female-dominant circle".

Afraid that Jiang Mu might let something slip, Tang Jinxian unconsciously peeked out from under her skirt and lightly touched Jiang Mu's foot, saying softly:
“When the spirit creature went out of control that day, I noticed that it seemed to be stained with your blood. Therefore, I suspected that there might be residual traces of the spirit creature on you, which is why I asked True Person Hongchen to examine it.”

Jiang Mu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then readily took off his clothes.

Tang Jinxian felt slightly uncomfortable and turned her head to one side, pretending to admire the scenery outside the car. However, she couldn't help but secretly glance at the gradually revealed body out of the corner of her eye.

Su Meixin kept her eyes fixed on Jiang Mu.

His gaze was clear and open.

It was as if, in her eyes, what lay before her was nothing more than a shell, no different from grass, trees, mountains, and rocks.

Jiang Mu thought to himself:

This fairy looks like a respectable person; she'd probably frown and be displeased if someone said anything risqué.

As the shirt was completely removed, a well-defined male body with smooth lines and distinct muscles was revealed.

Broad shoulders, strong chest and abs...

A strong masculine aura emanates from him.

Su Meixin's gaze paused for a moment. Although her face remained calm and aloof, she subconsciously adjusted her posture slightly with her long legs.

Tang Jinxian couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, her gaze sweeping over the man's handsome face, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This guy is truly blessed with natural talent. With just his looks and physique, if he were willing to lower himself and become a gigolo, the noblewomen of Yancheng would probably fight tooth and nail for him.

Seeing her friend just staring silently for a while, she coughed lightly and asked:

"Well? Did you see anything?"

"No rush, let me examine it carefully."

Su Meixin took out a thin silk glove from her sleeve, the same material as the silk stockings she was wearing, and put it on her delicate hands. Then she touched Jiang Mu's bare upper body.

Silk feels slightly cool to the touch.

Jiang Mu felt as if a cool, agile little snake was crawling between his chest and waist.

Su Meixin was focused, touching and pinching the objects meticulously, as if she were examining a work of art.

Tang Jinxian watched from the side with an increasingly strange expression. She felt that her friend's examination was a bit too "meticulous," almost as if she was deliberately... taking advantage of her?

I wasn't this careful when I examined her.

But considering that this princess usually looked down on men, he figured he was just overthinking it.

After a long while, Su Meixin finally withdrew her hand.

She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised her clear eyes and smiled calmly at Jiang Mu:
"Young Master Mu, you may return now."

Jiang Muben wanted to ask if the other party had found a solution, but seeing that the fairy seemed unwilling to talk about it further, he wisely stopped asking.

He quickly dressed, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master. I shall take my leave now."

After Jiang Mu left the carriage, Tang Jinxian asked impatiently:
"How is it?" Su Meixin gently shook her head: "Young Master Mu has no spiritual energy within him."

"you sure?"

Tang Jinxian didn't quite believe it.

If this guy doesn't have the aura of a spiritual being, then why am I controlled by that "female-controlling circle" and inexplicably regard him as my master?
Su Meixin handed him the gloves: "Why don't you touch it?"

Tang Jinxian was greatly disappointed and angrily slapped her hand away.

She won't touch it.

What's so interesting about touching a man's body?

She looked at Su Meixin, who still maintained her aloof and detached demeanor, with suspicion and asked curiously, "Why were you in such a hurry to send him away just now?"

This is unlike her friend's usual behavior.

Su Meixin lightly turned her fair wrist, and the snow-white tail of her white jade whisk drew an arc in the air before returning to her arm. She sighed softly, "The human heart is like a basin of water. If it is straightened and left undisturbed, the turbid water will remain at the bottom, while the clear water will remain at the top."

Tang Jinxian found the words somewhat familiar.

After a moment's thought, I recalled that this seemed to be a viewpoint expounded by the Fairy Miaozhu, who was famous for her belief in the "way of asceticism," in her book "True Theory of No Desire."

But she still didn't understand the meaning behind Su Meixin's words at that moment:

"What do you mean? Speak like a human being!"

"I accidentally spilled the tea."

"what?"

Tang Jinxian blinked her beautiful eyes, not reacting for a moment.

"Tomorrow, the Imperial Palace will take you to the Chongtian Temple. Perhaps we can borrow their spiritual objects to help you resolve the issue."

Su Meixin offered no further explanation, got up, and walked out of the carriage.

She stood outside the car, looking up at the darkening sky, and murmured:
"It's strange, I've actually developed feelings for that kid. My body seems... no, it should be my problem, it has nothing to do with that kid."

By the time Tang Jinxian came to her senses, the Princess had already disappeared from the carriage.

"This is ridiculous, is he sick?"

Tang Jinxian shook her head.

Just then, her gaze inadvertently glanced at something, and she was suddenly stunned.

She moved closer to the spot where Su Meixin had just been sitting.

Tang Jinxian extended her delicate finger, her face instantly turning bright red:

"That slut! Has she never seen a man before?!"

……

Jiang Mu returned to his own courtyard gate and found that Shi Yuhu and the others had already returned to the neighboring courtyard.

Shi Xueying also returned.

The girl was extremely anxious when she learned that her younger brother had been arrested and imprisoned for murder.

Although she didn't like her silly younger brother very much, he was still her own brother, and blood was thicker than water.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll go find Master. With Master's status, he'll definitely be able to rescue Baolu."

"Oh dear! Sister, why do you insist on believing Mu Jiang? He's just a lowly constable, what kind of tricks could he possibly have? Even if Uncle An is willing to intervene, this is a serious crime of murder, it's not something that can be easily settled."

"Sister, now is not the time to talk about this. I'm going to find Master right now. Only she can save Baolu."

"..."

The girl said a few words in a hurry, then turned around and rushed out of the courtyard gate, bumping right into Jiang Mu.

Upon seeing Jiang Mu, she paused slightly, pursed her pink lips, and ultimately said nothing. She brushed past him and rushed towards Elder Zhao's temporary residence.

Jiang Mu didn't seem to care about her attitude.

If Shi Xueying could really get her master to intervene and rescue Shi Baolu using her status and influence as an elder of Shenhuang Island, he would naturally be happy.

But... is it really that easy to solve?
