The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Well, I didn't have any classes today, so I came back early and bought you some rouge and face powder."

Jia Daoshi took out the small gift he had bought with love.

Sure enough, this little surprise made Murong Jiu's eyes light up.

Girls love nothing more than the little surprises their crushes give them from time to time.

That's so romantic.

"These two are for Sister Qinglin and Sister Weishuang, right?" Murong Jiu asked with a smile. "You're so thoughtful, my lord."

It feels really good to be pampered.

At this moment, Di Qinglin also came over: "I don't need these. If Ajiu likes them, you can use them all."

Jia Daoshi: "..."

Even in broad daylight, this Di Qinglin just loves to spoil the fun.

Jia Daoshi was already used to Di Qinglin's cold demeanor during the day, so he changed the subject and asked, "Qinglin, where's Weishuang? Has she disappeared again?"

"Yes, Wei Shuang is still resting in her room. The Heavenly Annihilation Soul-Searching Hand is an extremely Yin poison, and it's not so easy to remove. She still needs to rest and recuperate," Di Qinglin said.

"Who exactly did she offend?" Jia Daoshi asked curiously.

“In the martial arts world, only the people of Xingxiuhai possess the Heaven-Slaying and Earth-Destroying Soul-Searching Hand, so the murderer must be from Xingxiuhai.” Di Qinglin’s expression was somewhat solemn.

"Then why did she offend the people of Xingxiuhai?" Jia Daoshi asked again.

That being said, that's actually the key point.

If his wife offended the people of Xingxiuhai, it meant that he would also become an enemy of Xingxiuhai.

"This is a long story. She went to assassinate the former Minister of War, Shui Tongtian, but was injured by the experts in his household!" Di Qinglin said.

Former Minister of War, Shui Tongtian?

Suddenly, the image of the girl in the red dress, Shui Wushang, appeared in Jia Daoshi's mind.

Why would she attempt to assassinate the former Minister of War?

Upon hearing this question, both Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu fell silent.

Shui Tongtian was one of the main culprits in the downfall of the Daqing Dynasty!

Mu Weishuang went to assassinate someone, naturally wanting revenge!

However, both Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu felt that the time was not yet right and that Jia Daoshi should not be informed of this matter.

“Perhaps, Sister Weishuang has a grudge against this Shui Tongtian. Sister Weishuang has a tragic past, all because of this bastard!” Murong Jiu said. “Also, I’ve heard that this Shui Tongtian is a corrupt official in the Great Jing Dynasty. He has done many bad things behind the scenes, and the people resent him a lot. When he was in the palace, he formed factions and eliminated dissidents. Later, for some reason, he was demoted here.”

"I see." Jia Daoshi pondered for a moment. "So, your Sister Weishuang is quite the chivalrous person."

What Jia Daoshi didn't know was that his father also had a grudge against Shui Tongtian!

"In that case, let her rest and recover. Let's go see her."

With that, Jia Daoshi walked towards the guest room first.

Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin lagged behind by two steps.

After Jia Daoshi had walked quite a distance, Murong Jiu asked, "Sister Qinglin, when can we let him know the truth?"

Di Qinglin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's wait until he reaches the third level of the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. Otherwise, even if we tell him, it will only cause more trouble."

“But I haven’t seen you practicing your skills, sir. I always feel that you are too lazy,” Murong Jiu said.

"Well... actually, he still does practice." At this point, Di Qinglin's face suddenly turned red.

The kind of red that's like it's been burned.

"Sister Qinglin, why is your face red? By the way, how do you practice this skill? I heard that there seems to be a shortcut to the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. Can you teach it to me?" Murong Jiu asked with a curious look.

"Why are you asking so many questions, you little kid? Let's go see Sister Weishuang." Di Qinglin walked away as if he were fleeing.

That's right, there is a shortcut to the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, which requires the balance of Yin and Yang...

At this moment, Jia Daoshi had already arrived outside the house and had just pushed the door open to go inside!

"Shh!"

Another cold, long sword!

Moreover, it was placed on my neck from behind first!

Jia Daoshi: "..."

"You bastard! I've been waiting for you here for ages!"

A cold voice, almost devoid of any emotion!

Moreover, it exudes a murderous aura!

It seems that my third wife really holds a grudge!

"Lady Weishuang, are you trying to murder your husband?!" Jia Daoshi was speechless.

"Shut up! Last night! You actually made me suffer such humiliation! How could I let you off so easily!" Mu Weishuang said coldly.

"Then what else do you want? Kill me? Make Ajiu and Qinglin lose their husbands, and then let the government come to arrest them? I thought that a person like my wife must be broad-minded and righteous, but I didn't expect that I misjudged her!" Jia Daoshi sighed.

"Hmph! Don't try to shut me up! I, Mu Weishuang, have never suffered such humiliation! Cough cough..."

Before Mu Weishuang could finish speaking, she started coughing and couldn't even hold the knife in her hand.

"My wife, getting angry is bad for your health. I think you should not get too agitated."

Just then, a gasp rang out from outside the door:

"Sister Weishuang, stop right now! Don't be impulsive!"

It was Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu who arrived.

"Qinglin, Ajiu, don't worry, your sister Weishuang was just joking with me. If she really wanted to kill me, she wouldn't have said so much to me just now." Jia Daoshi chuckled, gently pinching the blade and removing it from his shoulder.

Mu Weishuang immediately let go.

The gleaming longsword landed smoothly in Jia Daoshi's hand.

She was wearing a long white dress, her face still pale. After glaring at Jiang Nan, she snorted and went back to bed.

In the morning, after she woke up, Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu had already told her about Jia Daoshi.

She was just testing him, seeing how bold he was.

Now it seems.

It's passable.

Seeing this, Murong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Sister Weishuang, you are still very weak, so you can't move around too much."

"You little rascal, you're siding with him now," Mu Weishuang said with a hint of annoyance.

Although she is much better than before, she is still physically weak and has not yet cleared out the remaining toxins in her body, so she needs to continue taking medication and recuperating.

After all that activity, I felt a bit weak again, and fell asleep again shortly after lying down in bed.

Seeing this, Murong Jiu shook her head, stood up and said, "Sister Qinglin, my lord, let Sister Weishuang rest. Let's go outside to talk."

The three of them went outside, and Jia Daoshi asked with some curiosity, "How is she doing now?"

Di Qinglin shook his head: "It seems the situation is not optimistic. I need to prepare and brew my unique secret medicine to completely detoxify her. Ajiu, have Steward Sun go out and buy some herbs for me, and then come back to help me later."

Jia Daoshi asked, "And what about me?"

Murong Jiu smiled and said, "My lord, I want to eat fish."
