The poison in Leng Yanxiu's body had been suppressed in the cold cave. He was standing under the ice coffin at this moment, with a pair of slender hands with distinct joints stroking the edge of the ice coffin, and a cold light flashed in his dark golden eyes.

"Master, you recovered so quickly this time?"

The man in black knelt on one knee at Leng Yanxiu's feet and asked in confusion.

Leng Yanxiu raised his sexy thin lips and rubbed the blood jade ring on his hand with his slender fingers.

"Go and find the woman wearing the Red Water Spirit Ring. She will be your mistress from now on."

"Master, have you found the person that Taoist Tianji mentioned?"

Xuan Lei was filled with astonishment. His master had actually given the Red Water Spirit Ring away. Did they really have a mistress? He had to tell Uncle Liang about this good news when he got home.

"Master, do you want to bring the mistress back to the mansion?"

"It doesn't matter, at least she's still useful and can suppress the poison in me. For now, don't let anyone else know and don't disturb her life. Just send Xuan Shiliu to protect her, so as to avoid..."

Xuan Lei was stunned. Thinking of those people in the capital, he stopped thinking about it and said coldly, "Master, it's time to teach those people a lesson."

Leng Yanxiu pulled his outer robe closer, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and soon the master and servant disappeared in the cave.

It's three o'clock in time.

After chatting for a while in the valley, Qu Jingyao and his sister walked towards the wooden house together.

Liu stood in the yard, looking around worriedly. When she saw the brother and sister from afar, she breathed a sigh of relief and happily walked forward to open the door of the courtyard.

"Yao Yao."

"Mom! Why are you standing here?"

Liu tapped her forehead in annoyance. The wound on her head was still wrapped with cloth. Although it was covered by her hair, it didn't mean it was okay!

"You're still injured, how can you run around? I shouldn't have let you go out with your brother. Come back and eat."

Qu Jingyao reached out and hugged Liu's arm, sticking out her tongue at her brother behind her while acting coquettishly. Qu Qingchen shook his head helplessly.

Looking at his mother and sister, he silently vowed in his heart that he must practice kung fu well so that he could protect them well in the future.

The mother and her two children returned to the cabin and sat around the table.

"Oh, I forgot to buy some meat. Mom, I'll go buy some tomorrow so I can make some lard."

"No need, Yaoyao. I'm going to the mountains to hunt wild boars tomorrow. I've already dug a trap today, so I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Qu Qingchen picked up the bowl of porridge, took a sip and said.

Liu told him to be careful. If it weren't for the pressure of life, she really didn't want her son to go hunting again. Her heart ached when she thought of her husband.

Qu Jingyao noticed the sadness in Liu's eyes. She smiled and said mischievously, "Mother's cooking is still the best. This porridge smells so good. Are there any wild vegetables in it?"

Liu's wandering thoughts were pulled back by her. She raised the corner of her lips and pointed outside the yard. She also accidentally discovered a lot of wild vegetables by the river, so she simply picked some and cooked a simple wild vegetable porridge.

Liu scolded the brother and sister: "You bought so many things, Qingchen, why don't you stop your sister? Don't you know that she doesn't know how to live a normal life?"

Then Liu started to mutter about how hard life was and how they had nothing now. God had mercy on them and let Yaoyao find this place to live, but they couldn't live lavishly.

Qu Qingchen lowered his head and dared not speak, he could only silently endure his mother's nagging. Qu Jingyao beside him raised an eyebrow and explained to Liu:

"Mom, I heard there's going to be a war. The price of food has been rising, and there's a food shortage. I thought I'd better save some rice while I have some money, just in case.

As for the cattle and horses, I told my brother that we can open up some wasteland here and grow some crops. These cattle and horses can also be used, right, mother...”

Qu Qingchen also tried to smooth things over for his sister, saying that it was all his idea and asked his mother not to blame his sister.

Liu looked at her two children in front of her, sighed helplessly, patted her daughter's hand and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, or my daughter has foresight."

Qu Jingyao smiled and then thought of her mother's jade pendant and jade hairpin.

"Mom, the jade pendant and jade hairpin are still with me..."

Liu held her hand, smiled and said that it would be her dowry in the future and she should just keep it.

Qu Jingyao glanced at her brother beside her and felt embarrassed.

Qu Qingchen put his hand to his lips and coughed twice. He said that the thing was useless to him as a grown man. His mother said that it was left to her, so she could keep it without worry.

"You are so thoughtful. Don't worry, I will also prepare some for your brother in the future."

Liu poked her daughter's head and said.

The simple meal for the mother and her two children ended in laughter and joy, but the Qu family in the village was not so happy.

Old Lady Xu collapsed on the ground and sobbed. Her two sons stood there with bruised faces and noses, cursing non-stop:

"It's all because of that little bitch Qu Jingyao, otherwise the Wu family wouldn't be so angry."

Qu Huaer, who was lying on the earthen kang, had her eyes swollen and red like walnuts from crying: "Mom, what should I do?" She turned her head and asked, half-crouching down, with resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

Mrs. Wu stood aside holding her daughter in her arms, and the mother and daughter looked at each other. Fortunately, their family had always lived in the town, otherwise they would have suffered as well. However, she still felt a little distressed when she saw the man being beaten.

"Mom, let's hold off for now. The Wu family's anger hasn't subsided yet. Let's wait and see what happens. If my sister can get pregnant with the Wu family's child..." Qu Shuliang covered his swollen cheek and spoke with a calculating look in his eyes.

When Old Lady Xu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her cloudy eyes.

"I don't want to. I don't want to give birth to a child for that dead pig."

When Old Lady Xu heard her daughter yelling like a spoiled child, she immediately stopped her and reminded her that if she didn't marry into the Wu family, no one would dare to marry her. Then she told her to go back to the house.

The mother and her son were scheming in the main room. When Qu Huaer returned to the room, her eyes were filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's all Qu Jingyao's fault, you little bitch. Let's wait and see."

It was getting dark at this moment.

The Wu family mansion in Ruyang City is brightly lit at this moment.

"Master, please spare me! This... this... was all caused by that little bitch Qu Jingyao. She... she even slandered the Master and the Madam."

"Bang! Who gave a country girl the courage to do that?" Mr. Wu slammed his palm on the table with a cold face. Mrs. Wu next to him suddenly thought of her daughter's words and whispered softly in her husband's ear.

Wu Yuanwai's expression instantly improved a lot, so he ordered his servants to inform his son-in-law to write the men of the Qu family into the list of corvée labor.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't cure these people.

"Look at those peasants who still dare to be so presumptuous. Someone, come and suppress this useless person. If he can't even do such a simple thing, what's the point of keeping him around?"

As soon as Mr. Wu finished speaking, the two guards outside rushed into the flower hall.

"Master, please forgive me."
