Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost
Chapter 326 Temptation
The next day, at dawn, Lu Xunhuan woke up.
He did not leave the inn immediately.
Since it’s pointless to go out now, it’s better to hide in the inn for a day and then look for Xia Yin tomorrow.
The threat is huge, and we must act quickly, even if it is very risky.
He took out a poisonous fang from his arms.
This thing was pulled out from the mouth of a poisonous monster when the Taiqing Sect was destroying a seventh-level monster.
That night, the leader asked him to discuss something.
The two discussed for a long time and finally decided that Lu Xunhuan would return to Changzhou City to try to poison Shangguan Shangshu.
So, he gave a few fangs to Lu Xunhuan.
After Lu Xunhuan came back, he lurked outside the Shangshu Mansion, trying to find a way to enter the Shangshu Mansion, or to develop an insider in the Shangshu Mansion so that he could act more conveniently.
Xia Yin is a very good target.
A woman who is unwilling to be a maid can be seduced by giving her a little fame, fortune and status.
Xia Yin's inner desire can be seen from her behavior of embezzling silver for purchasing.
If she was willing to be a maid all her life, she would not dare to be so bold.
Lu Xunhuan hid in the inn and did not go out for the entire morning.
In the afternoon, he suddenly heard some guests talking outside.
It is said that the seventh wife of the fifth prince died last night.
He was so frightened that his hair almost stood on end.
Ye Yayun is dead?
How did you die?
He thought of the incomprehensible words she said when he met her that night, and suddenly he seemed to understand.
Ye Yayun's marriage to the Fifth Prince was probably not a whim, nor was it a deliberate attempt to climb up the social ladder.
But I was forced to do so because I was threatened by others.
She was ordered to infiltrate the Fifth Prince's Mansion with the ultimate goal of stealing the dragon bones.
However, she failed and died under the secret room mechanism.
After he figured it out, he felt indescribably sad.
He took out the small bamboo tube that Ye Yayun had given him from his arms and looked at it.
One end of the bamboo tube is naturally closed, while the other end is sealed with wax.
He made a prompt decision and went to Baihemen first to hand the bamboo tube to the leader to see what Ye Yayun had written to him.
After checking out of the room, he quietly left, walked out of the city, and headed straight for Baihe Gate.
At dusk, he arrived outside the gate of Baihemen Mountain.
After explaining the situation, the gatekeeper disciple hurriedly took him to see the headmaster.
In the mountains, at the residence of the White Crane Sect's leader, the disciples brought Lu Xunhuan and briefly explained the situation.
There were all kinds of expressions on the face of the leader of the White Crane Sect.
He shook his head and said, "The sect suffered a heavy blow, and she ran away just when we needed her. We are so sad."
"She pursued wealth and glory, but what was the result?"
Lu Xun Huan pulled out the small bamboo tube and said, "Master, please don't jump to conclusions yet. Inside the bamboo tube is a letter she left for you. Read it first."
The head of the White Crane Sect took the bamboo tube, looked at it, removed the wax seal, and took out a rolled parchment.
After reading it, he sat down dejectedly: "How could this happen?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "My guess is that she was threatened by the president of the Immortal Friends Association to marry the Fifth Prince."
The head of the White Crane Sect nodded and said, "That's exactly what she said in the letter. So, it seems like our request for justice from the president is just wishful thinking."
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I'm afraid so."
The head of the White Crane Sect handed him the parchment and said, "Supreme Master Yu, I, the White Crane Sect, no longer wish to be involved in worldly affairs. Thank you for sending this letter."
Lu Xun Huan took the parchment and read it. It read: "The president threatened me to marry the Fifth Prince and steal the dragon bone. If I fail and die, do not interfere."
In just a few short sentences, everything was within Lu Xunhuan's expectations, and there was no unexpected information.
Lu Xunhuan originally sent the bamboo tube to Ye Yayun because he wanted to know if she had written anything that he didn't know.
But disappointingly, it didn't.
He then said goodbye to the leader of the Baihe Sect and rushed back to Changzhou City overnight.
Last night, someone suddenly entered the backyard of Xialou, probably to test the waters.
Why would someone come to test him? It must be because Lu Xunhuan attracted other people's attention and aroused their suspicion.
Lu Xunhuan had previously dated Zhu Tianpeng, and at least on the surface, their relationship seemed pretty good.
The two went to attend the Fifth Prince's wedding, and to outsiders, they seemed very familiar with each other.
So after Zhu Tianpeng knew the true identity of the president, did he tell Lu Xunhuan on the spot at the dinner table?
This is one of the points of suspicion.
Also, in order to save face, Ye Yayun insisted on getting a lot of dowry and entrusted Xialou to send it on behalf of her parents' home.
The one who represented Xialou was Lu Xunhuan.
Others would wonder whether Xia Lou, the Supreme Jade, and Ye Yayun knew each other beforehand.
So, is he aware of the president’s threat to Ye Yayun?
In any case, he aroused other people's suspicion, and naturally they wanted to silence him.
Even if he was wronged, others would feel at ease if they killed him.
This is also the reason why he wanted to hide immediately after he figured it out last night.
After returning to the city, he found another inn and took a nap.
When it was daybreak, he thought it was about time, so he washed up, ate something, changed his clothes, and went out.
When he arrived at the tailor shop, Xia Yin was just crossing the street.
In the tailor shop, he took the clothes, returned the silver to Xia Yin, and said, "Thank you very much, young lady. How about I treat you to tea as a token of my gratitude?"
Xia Yin went as soon as she invited him: "Okay, I'll take you to one."
The two men left the tailor shop and walked into a short alley. At the end of the alley was another street.
There is a teahouse at the intersection.
Lu Xunhuan asked for a private room and the best tea.
After the tea was served, Xia Yin asked, "May I ask your name, sir, and what business do you run in Changzhou City?"
Lu Xun Huan poured her tea and said, "You are an important official in the court because of your relatives. How can you compare to the Shangshu Lord by running a small business?"
Xia Yin asked again: "How much can you earn that year?"
Lu Xun Huan said casually: "It's not much, just tens of millions of silver."
Xia Yin opened her eyes wide: "So many, where is the young master's residence in Changzhou City?"
Lu Xun Huan smiled, but didn't answer her. Instead, he asked, "You're doing pretty well in the Shangshu Mansion. Are you happy with your work?"
Xia Yin said, "Alas, we are servants after all. We take that pitiful little money and have to depend on others for everything we do. There is no happiness at all, only trouble."
She asked Lu Xunhuan, "Is your family short of anyone?"
Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "Do you want to change jobs? My family isn't necessarily better than the Shangshu family, right?"
Xia Yin twisted her body and said in a slightly coquettish manner, "Sir, can't you just take care of me more? As long as you don't have to worry about other people's faces, I'll be much happier."
Lu Xun Huan chuckled and said, "I think you are quite capable, I think you can consider it."
Xia Yin said happily: "Really?"
She asked a little shyly, "Excuse me, how many wives have you married now, sir?"
Lu Xunhuan understood in his heart that this girl was indeed unwilling to be a servant and wanted to marry a rich young man and become his wife, soaring to the sky.
He asked, "Why, you want to marry me?"
Xia Yin's face turned slightly red, and she felt a little shy and embarrassed.
"Someone like me may lack other skills, but serving others should be my strength. Young Master, just go and make money. I promise that the mansion will arrange everything for you comfortably and properly."
She was quite eager to climb the ladder, so she stood up and circled around Lu Xunhuan: "Sir, do you think I am okay?"
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Very good, looking at your figure, you can definitely give birth to a big fat boy..."
"But I don't dare to steal the Shangshu family's women. If I offend him, even if I have important officials behind me, I'm afraid my business will not be smooth in the future."
Xia Yin said, "Oh, that old man...just give him a little more dowry money. If he's happy, he won't mind it."
Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "I need to give the dowry money to your parents as well. Why should I give it to him? He is not your parent. Besides, if I give him some money, my backers will be unhappy."
Xia Yin sat back down and asked, "Who's backing you?"
Lu Xunhuan gestured, "Come here."
Xia Yin quickly came to his side, pressed close to him, pressed her face against Lu Xunhuan's, and whispered, "Speak."
Lu Xunhuan whispered to her, "Fifth Prince."
Xia Yin suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder, I know that they are sworn enemies in the court."
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I only have one wife in my family, and I do plan to marry another one, but..."
There was silence in the private room for a moment. Lu Xunhuan helped Xia Yin back to her seat.
Xia Yin asked, "Sir, where is your mansion?"
Lu Xunhuan said, "The Fifth Prince is my father-in-law."
Xia Yin opened her eyes wide: "Oh, I think I know, the Fifth Prince's daughter, Princess Manman, seems to have married... married..."
Lu Xunhuan reminded: "Cheng."
Xia Yin nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, Cheng Mansion, so you are Mr. Cheng?"
Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "I also know Chunxiang from your family. She also has that intention, but..."
Xia Yin hurriedly said, "Chunxiang won't do. Apart from her good looks, she's not as good as me in any other way. She's also very lazy. Master Cheng, don't be fooled by her."
Lu Xun Huan pondered for a while and said, "Xia Yin, there is a task. If you help me complete it, my father-in-law will thank you. When the time comes, he will support you in marrying me."
Xia Yin blinked and asked, "Are you helping the Fifth Prince deal with that old, immortal Shangshu?"
Lu Xunhuan asked, "Do you dare to do it?"
Xia Yin nodded: "If you promise to marry me as your second wife, I will take the risk for the Fifth Prince."
Lu Xun Huan said, "As long as you do this, I will marry you immediately."
Xia Yin gestured, "Sir, come and sit down."
Lu Xunhuan stood up and sat next to her, deliberately sitting very close to her.
Xia Yin raised her head, stretched out her arms and hugged him: "I'm afraid you'll use me to kill the Shangshu and break your promise later."
Lu Xun Huan hugged her: "Then what do you say we should do?"
Xia Yin said, "Give me your... If you dare to break your promise, I'll take it to the Fifth Prince and complain."
Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "I am sincere. You are very capable and I admire you. I will not break my promise."
Xia Yin shook his head: "No, words are not enough."
Lu Xunhuan let her go: "Alright, I'll take it off for you right away."
