Madam Dong glanced at the nanny with displeasure and said, "Do I need to say that? Nanny, you're getting worse and worse at doing things. Are you getting old and want to go back to your old age?"

The old woman immediately knelt on the ground to apologize, until her forehead was scraped raw. Only then did Madam Dong take pity on her and call her up, instructing her to bring Xique and Ma Er over.

Soon, Magpie and Ma Er arrived at the main hall. Upon seeing Madam Dong, they quickly told her the information they had gathered.

"The woman who was with Wei Shen was named Ji Yunshuang. She was originally a refugee and had only recently settled in Hongdu."

Her husband's surname was Lu. I heard that her husband was a hunter before he fled from war, and that woman probably learned some martial arts from her hunter husband, so she's quite skilled.

The magpie said, "Wei Shen used to spend his days loafing around in the outer city. I don't know how he got involved with that woman, and then he started hanging out with her."

Ma Er nodded in agreement, saying, "All those thugs who used to hang out with Wei Shen have gone after that woman."

The two rushed back to report, but they had only managed to find out some basic information.

But both of them knew Dong's character and knew that if they came back late, they would definitely be scolded.

To avoid being scolded, the two found out some information and quickly returned.

The two went out to investigate all day and brought back this little bit of information. Madam Dong said with dissatisfaction, "How is she, a refugee, qualified to enter the inner city?"

Ma Er didn't find out how Ji Yunshuang entered the inner city, but he had a sudden inspiration and said, "Wei Shen might have helped her get in."

Madam Dong was displeased. "You went out to inquire and that's all you found out?"

The magpie hurriedly said, "We went to the village where she lives and found out a lot of information. We heard that her husband and brother-in-law will soon be joining the army."

She was already known for her promiscuity in the village, and now that her husband has joined the army, she's constantly involved with Wei Shen; they're probably having an affair.

Ruining someone's reputation is a tactic that Dong has always used.

But Madam Dong hated Ji Yunshuang and Wei Shen so much this time that spreading rumors and ruining the two of them was far too lenient on them in her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Dong took a packet of medicine powder and gave it to Magpie, saying, "Keep an eye on them. When they enter the inner city again, find an opportunity to put the medicine in their food. I want them to be embarrassed in public."

The magpie took the medicine and replied, "Yes!"

After waving her away, Madam Dong asked Ma Er, "What's the wind blowing in the city now? What's the news about the young master?"

Ma Er was hesitating about how to say it tactfully so as not to make the mistress of the house even angrier when Wei Yurou ran in crying.

"Mother, they don't play with me anymore. They say you're kind on the outside but cruel on the inside, that you drove away my eldest brother and sowed discord between him and Father. What am I going to do?"

Wei Yuru is 15 years old this year, which is the perfect age for marriage. Over the years, Madam Dong has been carefully planning and creating a good reputation for her daughter, with the aim of marrying her into the Prince Rui's mansion.

Upon hearing her daughter's words, her face instantly changed. She angrily demanded, "Which gossipy women are spreading rumors about me outside?"

I wanted to give your brother my heart, but he listened to some old servant's gossip and started treating me like a bad person. He wouldn't listen to anything I said. I even fell ill several times because of this. What do those people outside know? They just talk about me like that!

"What's the point of telling me all this?" Wei Yuru sat down on the chair, crying, and complained, "Go outside and explain to those people!"

As she spoke, she added with resentment, "He ran away from home on his own, and he doesn't listen to anyone in the family. Now he's brought back some random woman and beat up my second brother. He's ruined the reputation of the entire Wei family... I'm going to find my father and kick him out of the house."

Lady Dong regrets that she had too many concerns back then and did not kill Wei Shen directly.

She's already turned me into a useless piece of trash, yet she still comes back to bite me.

She comforted her daughter, saying, "Your father is fighting a war outside, which is already difficult enough. Don't bother him with these trivial matters."

The key point is that now is not the right time.

Despite the fact that the father and son were like enemies, she could see clearly that Wei Zhenfang was reluctant to part with his son because of their blood ties and his guilt towards her elder sister.

Unless, of course, some shameful act or a major event that would bring disaster to the family, he would have no choice but to harden his heart and execute this son.

Simply letting everyone watch their scandalous affair is clearly not enough!

There's something even bigger going on.

Even Wei Zhenfang had no choice but to abandon this important matter concerning his son...

Madam Dong pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.

That morning, Ji Yunshuang got up and opened the courtyard gate to see Wei Shen's excited face. "Master, what will I learn next?"

Ji Yunshuang felt that she didn't actually have much to teach Wei Shen.

After all, her kung fu is different from that of ordinary people.

On one hand, it's the ruthless decisiveness she honed through ten years of killing zombies and mutated plants day after day in the apocalypse.

On the other hand, it's also because her body awakened superpowers in the apocalypse, and her training methods are different from ordinary people, which ordinary people cannot learn.

However, seeing the excited Wei Shen, and then looking at the little boy practicing his skills in the courtyard, she let him in. Then, pointing to the little boy, she said, "Stand behind him and practice with him."

Wei Shen looked at the little Lu Yanqi and exclaimed, "Master, is this your son? He looks just like you! So cute!"

Lu Yanqi, who had been praised for being cute, rolled his eyes at him in disdain.

Ji Yunshuang said, "Why all this nonsense? Are we going to practice or not?"

"Practice, practice!" Wei Shen hurriedly imitated Lu Yanqi's posture and practiced horse stance in the courtyard.

Lu Yanqi gets up every morning to practice horse stance. At first, he could only hold it for a few minutes, but now he can hold it for more than 15 minutes.

When Lu Yinheng had no free time, after finishing his horse stance, he would pick up a small wooden sword and practice what his father had taught him.

Whenever Lu Yinheng had free time, he would stay and give him some pointers.

Recently, considering that he will soon be joining the military, Lu Yinheng has made a point of setting aside time every morning to instruct his son in kung fu.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was instructing his son, Ji Yunshuang said, "This is a newly accepted disciple. Could you also give me some pointers?"

Upon seeing this, Wei Shen hurriedly bowed respectfully to Lu Yinheng and said, "Master! I am Wei Shen, please enlighten me."

Lu Yinheng looked at Wei Shen and frowned slightly.

Is this the good-for-nothing son who made Wei Zhenfang lose face in his past life?

Without saying much, he suddenly raised the sword in his hand and thrust it at him.

Wei Shen was caught off guard when he suddenly attacked without saying a word, and the thorn was pressed against his neck.

Lu Yinheng sheathed his sword, a hint of displeasure on his face.

Wei Shen quickly realized that his master was testing his skills. He was immediately excited and hurriedly said, "Master, I wasn't prepared just now, let's try again."

Lu Yinheng drew his sword again, and this time, Wei Shen used all his strength to fight back.

However, even though he used all his strength to fight back, he was still instantly defeated by Lu Yinheng.
