The Otherworldly God

Chapter 172

For two consecutive days, Mu Xin stayed in her room. Le Zheng, Shui Ling and others were very worried, thinking that the breakup of the Mu family was too much of a blow to her. And she said those things before only because she was afraid of being bullied by Le Zheng's people. Le Zheng, Shui Ling and Le Zheng Qiming could understand it very well.

Le Zheng Yuhua didn't think so. He always felt that the dissolution of the Mu family was a plan, and the words Mu Xin said were not harsh words spoken out of fear of being bullied.

"Shall I go talk to my sister-in-law?"

"Don't make things worse."

"I don't need to mention it. Otherwise, let's go somewhere nice and take a walk. If you stay in the house all the time, you'll get sick sooner or later."

"I agree, what do you think, brother?"

"I... she seems to have been planning something, and disbanding the Mu family is part of the plan. As a family of the Dao League, they are protected and constrained by the Dao League. Without this constraint, some things would be much easier to do. In other words, what she is planning is something that the Dao League cannot tolerate and is against the rules."

Le Zheng Yuhua thought back to what happened on the wedding day. The black forest and the attack all showed that Mu Xin had been targeted by someone for what she had done. Those people definitely did not come simply to destroy the marriage.

Moreover, in the few days after the wedding, although Le Zheng Yuhua did not ask about Mu Xin's affairs, he did not know what she was plotting in Fangyuan, and he could see the changes in the mentality of several people.

Yue Zhengzhi, Pavilion Master Donghai, Young Pavilion Master, Bai Zhi, etc., they all became a little different after meeting Mu Xin, even if they pretended to be good.

Le Zheng Shui Ling pushed Le Zheng Yu Hua, and Le Zheng Yu Hua finally came to her senses and said, "Leave her alone."

"That's fine. What if we say something we shouldn't and end up making her sad?"

Le Zheng Shui Ling stood up and brushed the sand off her butt. Le Zheng Qi Ming asked her curiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Uncle Quan and Master have both given us a day off today. I have nothing to do, so I plan to go around the courtyard and see if there are any tasks I can take. Do you want to come with me?"

"I just can't. I haven't been home for many days. I'm going back for a while."

"It's time to go back and see your mother. What about Brother Yuhua?"

"Go ahead. If there are any good missions, help me take them. I will...find a chance to go visit your sister-in-law."

"Okay, just wait for my good news. I will definitely take on a great mission and come back."

"Just don't cause us any trouble."

"Qiming you..."

Le Zheng Qiming stood up and ran away, not forgetting to turn back and stick out his tongue at Le Zheng Shuiling, which made Le Zheng Shuiling so angry that she rushed over. Le Zheng Qiming saw the opportunity and ran away.

When Le Zheng Shui Ling chased him to the door, she saw that he had disappeared long ago. She was surprised that he ran so fast, so she could only think of coming back to settle the score. Little did she know that Le Zheng Qiming had hidden himself, and waited until she left the door before he slowly came out, and was almost startled by Le Ying.

"Where is Mr. Qi Ming going?"

He patted her heart and comforted her before saying, "Go back and see my mother."

"Qiming's mother is Banxia, ​​the woman who killed my child. How come her son is still alive and well?"

"Miss Le Ying, I'm leaving first."

When Le Ying saw that he had run a long way away, she loosened her fist, but the hatred in her heart could not be calmed for a long time.

On the way, Le Zheng Qiming bought some of Banxia's favorite candied fruits. The money was distributed to them by Mu Xin on behalf of Le Zheng Yuhua, saying it was regular money.

They shouldn't have accepted it, but Mu Xin said it very well, and Le Zheng Yuhua also advised them to accept it. Thinking it wasn't too much, they accepted it.

Looking at the things in his hands, Le Zheng Qiming was very grateful to Mu Xin for treating him as a family member, which allowed him to afford these things. He secretly told himself that when he made money in the future, he would have to hand over a portion of his salary.

"Mom, I'm back."

Le Zhengqi called out, but no one responded, which made him feel a little strange. He knew very well that his mother rarely went out, and might only go out to buy things every few days. There were no other guests in the house except the servant who delivered the monthly allowance.

It has been like this ever since he could remember. Le Zheng Qiming had no idea what was going on and thought that her father's death had dealt her too great a blow. He had tried to persuade her to contact the outside world, but she always muttered to herself and he couldn't hear clearly.

"It's already this hour, you shouldn't be away from home."

Le Zheng Qiming called out twice more, but there was still no response. He was about to put down the things in his hands, but found that there were already a lot of things on the table.

He picked it up and smelled it. There were candied fruits that Banxia liked to eat, roast duck, and some medicinal herbs.

Le Zheng Qiming didn't know much about medicinal herbs, but these candied fruits and roast duck made him suspicious. He thought that it was unlikely that Banxia would buy these things when she was alone, because their family did not have much allowance.

"Did mother know that I was coming back a long time ago?"

Le Zheng Qiming then shook his head. This amount was not appropriate, unless Banxia had been frugal for a long time.

He heard a noise coming from inside the house and hurriedly put down what he was holding and went over. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled medicine and heard a few coughs.

"Are they equally famous?"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Le Zheng Qiming hurried over to support her and intended to pour her some water, but found that the water was cold. Banxia let him pour her a glass because she was too thirsty.

"When did you come back? What time is it now?"

"It's almost noon. Mother, why didn't you tell me you were sick?"

"Nothing, just caught a cold."

She coughed a few more times, and Le Zheng Qiming felt distressed. She wanted to get up to make lunch for him, but Le Zheng Qiming quickly stopped her.

"You lie down, I'll do it."

"It's rare for you to come back, so I'll do it."

"mother."

"Okay, okay, you do it."

"Then lie down and I'll do it right away."

"Qiming. There's no vegetables or rice at home. Go buy some."

Le Zheng Qiming looked at the purse she took out from under the pillow. It was full of iron coins, but the total amount was not as much as he had left.

"Hasn't this month's salary arrived yet?"

"Maybe I forgot. It will be delivered next month."

"That's fine. I still have some on me. I'll go buy some rice and vegetables right away."

Le Zheng Qiming smiled while suppressing his anger.

"Where did you get the money?"

"This is the allowance my sister-in-law gave me. She gave it to Shui Ling and me."

"You can't just take other people's money like this."

"Don't worry, when I can make money in the future, I will give my sister-in-law some money."

"That's good. Go ahead. Mommy, lie down for a while."

"Ah."

Le Zheng Qiming closed the door, turned his back to the door and clenched his fists.

This had happened more than once or twice. There were many people in Le Zheng who looked down on them, mother and son. But this time, his mother's illness made Le Zheng Qiming not want to tolerate it any longer.

He wanted to rush to the compound right now to get everything clear, but when he reached the door of his house, Le Zheng Qiming stopped again.

In her hand was the allowance given by Mu Xin. The allowance she gave to Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling was calculated based on Le Zheng Yuhua's, which was a total of twenty coppers per month. However, the allowance Le Zheng gave to them, mother and son, was only five coppers per person.

Although they had no source of income, it would be fine if the monthly payments were delivered on time, but the accounting office was often late in delivering the payments, and there had also been cases of embezzlement and deductions. Banxia always asked him to be patient and said that she had no right to question these things.

If Banxia hadn't stopped him, Le Zheng Qiming would have gone to the accounting office to ask for clarification or reported to Le Zhengfang and Le Zhengqin.

The idea of ​​moving up became stronger and stronger, and he also looked forward to seeing Le Zheng Shuiling gain something from this trip.

But when he thought that someone didn't want them to have a good life, Le Zheng Qiming was so angry that he gritted his teeth again, and even secretly told himself that if anyone dared to stand in his way, Le Zheng Qiming would not let him have a good life.

"No matter what method I use, I must get the mission and become a true Taoist."
