Becoming a god by following the natural order and seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Chapter 79 Madam, Don't Look Back (Seeking First Subscription)
After returning from the Yang family, Madam Yang's mood improved significantly. The only thing that made her feel somewhat ashamed was that she had to tell some lies to persuade her brother.

But Mrs. Yang believed that this was a good thing for the Yang family.

After all, Chen Sheng knew too much. He even knew that he had been used as a furnace, and he knew that Lin Shou had powerful backers, but he still remained calm.

She knew then that Chen Sheng was very confident.

Of course, part of this was also psychological.

Emotionally, she was somewhat biased towards Chen Sheng. What no one knew was that Madam Yang had a very good impression of Chen Sheng, and this good impression initially stemmed from the confrontation with the Baisha Gang.

She witnessed the whole thing and saw firsthand Chen Sheng's domineering and tyrannical nature, feeling that he possessed an overwhelming aura of sharpness.

That's why she felt in her heart that Chen Sheng was a true husband.

Because this heroic spirit is something Lin Shou lacks.

The more you lack something, the more you pursue it. Lin Shou puts on a facade and seems perfectly fine, but only she knows that in private, she acts just like a woman.

This behavior disgusted her from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, even at that time, although she had feelings for him, she didn't have any romantic thoughts. She just regretted that she couldn't find a man like Chen Sheng and envied her niece for having such good fortune.

But that night...
She never imagined that Chen Sheng would be so straightforward and direct, causing her to fall for him so easily, unless she finally came to her senses.

She might have truly given up her most precious possession at that time, regardless of everything.

So much so that in the past few nights, she has often recalled the scene.

Military tent, candlelight, veins, dragon head.
Back at the mansion, after briefly dealing with the servants, Madam Yang hurried back to her room to look for a change of clothes in the wardrobe, as she had been slightly drooling earlier.

As she was searching, suddenly, a pair of hands with distinct knuckles attacked from behind and covered her eyes.

Along with it, a very familiar voice rang out:

"Madam, please don't turn around. I am the county magistrate."

Madam Yang's body suddenly stiffened, and she was about to scream in terror, but when she heard that familiar voice, she immediately felt relieved because she recognized the source of the voice.

She quickly pried Chen Sheng's hand away, turned her head and gave him a reproachful glance:
"Why are you here? This is the Lin residence."

As she spoke, Madam Yang, who was in a panic, hurriedly went to the door, opened it and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she was relieved, but she was still very uneasy.

"Since you haven't come to visit me for a long time, I thought something might have happened to you and I was afraid you might be in danger, so I came to check on you."

Chen Sheng's words were full of lies, and he did so without batting an eye.

Are you worried about me?

Madam Yang's gaze fell on Chen Sheng's ambiguous smile, and her heart stirred.

"That's it."

Chen Sheng nodded slightly.

Although it was just a transaction between them, he had come to pick up something, so he didn't mind saying a few words to appease the other party.

Madam Yang chuckled softly. Of course, she knew that Chen Sheng was deceiving her, but she couldn't help feeling a warmth in her heart. She then brought Chen Sheng a teacup and poured him a cup of tea.

Then, she sat down quite elegantly opposite Chen Sheng.

“Actually, even if you hadn’t come looking for me, I would have found a way to find you.”

"Oh? Why?"

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.

"There's been progress on the Yang family's side. My brother has agreed to your conditions. He's willing to side with you and break ties with the Huang family. He's also willing to pay some price for what happened before."

Madam Yang told the truth.

"I'm sure Madam played a significant role in this, didn't she?"

Chen Sheng quickly realized that she had contributed a great deal of effort this time.

After all, persuading that old fox Yang Yi is not so simple.

"It's nothing, I was just trying to protect myself."

Madam Yang shook her head, not wanting to say too much.

Her mind was in turmoil. She was both captivated by Chen Sheng's gentle words and constantly reminded herself that if she really fell for him, she might not be able to get out.

"Oh, by the way, my brother also mentioned Gao Yuanfeng a couple of days ago."

Madam Yang then told Chen Sheng everything her brother had instructed her to do.

But Chen Sheng wasn't surprised at all when he heard this.

Red snake blood grass is a blood-nourishing elixir.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be something prepared for that evil monk.

"Madam is thoughtful."

Although he knew this in his heart, Chen Sheng still pretended to be grateful.

The ambush and killing of the evil monk was a matter of great importance, and he would not reveal it to Madam Yang.

"Did you come here to see me about something?"

Madam Yang then changed the subject and asked about the purpose of Chen Sheng's visit.

She believed that Chen Sheng would not risk coming here unless there was a reason, especially since this was Lin Shou's residence.

Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"I have come here today because I need your help, Madam."

"Ask for help? Ask me?"

Madam Yang was surprised. With Chen Sheng's cultivation level, strength, power, and prestige, why would he need her help? Could it be that he was targeting Lin Shou? Her heart sank.

"I beg your help in my cultivation, madam."

Chen Sheng didn't keep anyone in suspense and stated his purpose directly.

Seeing Chen Sheng's serious expression, Madam Yang's face changed slightly. She hadn't expected him to be so impatient.

"As I said before, we'll wait until..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Sheng interrupted her.

"Lin Shou is not a threat. If you are worried, I will take you to see him now. As for Hao Tong behind him, although he is a little threatening, I can still deal with him."

Therefore, this does not constitute a breach of contract.

Chen Sheng's expression turned solemn.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Madam Yang still found it hard to believe, after all, the speed was too fast. But looking at Chen Sheng's expression, he didn't seem to be lying to her at all, and she was immediately conflicted.

"So, Madam, are you willing to lend me a hand?"

Chen Sheng stared into Madam Yang's eyes.

"I"

Madam Yang was torn between two options.

She was actually willing to help Chen Sheng with his cultivation, but she felt it was all too fast, and even had a faint worry that Chen Sheng would discard her like trash once he got his hands on her.

It's far better to avoid getting entangled in things a little bit.

Although she wasn't good at understanding men's hearts, she still understood one principle.

The easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued.

Chen Sheng noticed her hesitation and, without saying a word, got up, picked her up, and carried her to the inside.

Such domineering behavior left Madam Yang momentarily stunned, not quite recovered, but she quickly reacted and began to struggle:
"Chen Sheng, are you crazy? This is the Lin residence! Lin Shou is still here."

"So what?"

"Can we meet tomorrow? I'll come to the military camp to find you then."

Seeing Chen Sheng's resolute attitude, Madam Yang subconsciously began to soften. Of course, she was also somewhat captivated by Chen Sheng's domineering and forceful nature, and unconsciously forgot her earlier shock.

Chen Sheng shook his head, laid him flat on the bed, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"No, it's right here!"

More than 100 meters away.

Inside the study of the Lin family mansion.

Lin Shou was carefully grooming his beard in front of the bronze mirror, pondering his next plan.

If nothing unexpected happens, with his impeachment and Commander Hao's assistance, it will be virtually impossible for Chen Sheng to become the true commander of the Armed Forces Battalion.

Therefore, he had to find a candidate for a new president.

But this matter gave him quite a headache.

Finding a suitable candidate for the commander of the Armed Forces Battalion is not easy. It requires not only cultivation level and strength but also seniority and merit. After Chen Sheng's previous purge of the training grounds, he no longer has a suitable candidate.

Unless people are transferred from the prefectural city.

In addition, he also needs to carefully plan his dealings with the Yang and Huang families.

The destruction of the Gao family had a significant impact on him, but it wasn't all bad. He had come to terms with it in the past few days, realizing that the three major families had been closely connected and deeply rooted in each other.

Even though he was the county magistrate, he couldn't do anything about it, since many people in the county government were still closely connected with the three major families.

Now that the Gao family has been destroyed and Chen and Wu are powerful, the Huang and Yang families are under great pressure. If he can take this opportunity to subdue the two families...

With his methods and powerful backers, he has a very good chance of defeating Chen and Wu. At that time, all the power in Changshan County will be consolidated, and he will be the undisputed ruler of the county.

"Sir, this is this year's new tea."

Just as Lin Shou was envisioning the future, the Lin family steward entered the study with tea and bowed.

Lin Shou picked up the teacup with delicate fingers, took a sip, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face. He no longer needed to hide anything in the mansion, and this feeling of being unrestrained was indeed comfortable.

He felt much more at ease there than when he was with Commandant Hao, but he still missed it somewhat.

"By the way, has Madam returned to the manor?"

Lin Shou sipped his tea and casually asked a question.

He knew that Madam Yang had returned to the Yang family home today to visit her relatives, and that she had conveyed his message to Yang Yi, so he was quite concerned about it.

"Reporting to Master, Madam returned to the manor half an hour ago."

The butler said in a low voice.

"Ah That's good."

Lady Yang was a gift he presented to Commander Hao, and he couldn't afford to lose her, so he kept a close eye on her.

Thinking of that nemesis, a complex emotion flashed between Lin Shou's brows. He got up and walked to the inner side of the study, took out a jade flute, and looked at Lin Shou with some melancholy and nostalgia.

"My lord, there is something I am not sure if I should say."

"explain."

"Madam seems to be feeling unwell. The maid just said that she seems to have caught a cold and has a headache. We heard her groaning a little. Do you think we should go and visit her?"

The old butler said in a low voice.

Lin Shou snorted coldly:
"Don't worry about her."

But then he thought of Madam Yang's importance, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Never mind, have the kitchen prepare some nourishing soup and send it to Madam's room."

"Yes, then this old servant will take his leave."

Having received his instructions, the butler bowed and left the study.

Lin Shou's attention was focused on the jade flute. After pondering for a long time, he slowly put it to his lips and began to blow. The melodious sound of the flute rose and filled the mansion.
