Chapter 561 - 283: Rescue Someone from the Bottom of the Lake?_2
Chapter 561: Chapter 283: Rescue Someone from the Bottom of the Lake?_2Due to being constantly engaged in war away from home, household affairs were managed by his wife, Wen Jing’er.
The Wen Family had once been a family of scholars.
However, their family fortunes declined, and they did not live up to their past glory.
After the death of the eldest son of the Wen Family at a young age, only Wen Er and his sister, Wen Jing’er, remained. Wen Jing’er, tender-hearted towards her brother who had been frail and sick since childhood, brought him to the Li Family to be cared for.
Li Kuang did not object to this; in fact, he even took the initiative to train his young brother-in-law in their practices.
Unfortunately, the young brother-in-law was of average talent and quite lazy, inept at both literature and martial arts. Despite Wen Jing’er scolding him numerous times, it had little effect.
However, Li Nanshuang had been very close to her second uncle as a child, and the two often got into trouble together.
"Shuang’er!"
After scolding her brother, Wen Jing’er turned to her daughter and said coldly, "What did I instruct you initially? To go to Qingzhou and bring back your second uncle as soon as possible. Look how long you’ve delayed; he almost couldn’t return!"
"Second Uncle needed to recuperate." Li Nanshuang muttered.
Wen Jing’er slapped the armrest of her chair: "Is he about to die? Can’t he recover while traveling?"
No wonder the woman was angry.
She only had this one brother, this one daughter. If either died in Qingzhou, it would be a devastating blow to her.
Li Nanshuang snorted coldly, "I had to find out who the assailant was; I couldn’t let Second Uncle be attacked in vain."
"He deserved to be attacked! Don’t think I don’t know that he got into trouble over a courtesan!"
Wen Jing’er shouted angrily.
Li Nanshuang stood up, thumping her chest as she declared, "I don’t care about any of that; I did nothing wrong, and neither did Second Uncle."
"So it’s my fault?" Wen Jing’er said with a furious laugh.
"My fault, my fault..."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to argue, Wen Er hurriedly said with a wry smile, "Sister, no one expected that kind of incident in Qingzhou, but there’s more to it, it’s the Emperor..."
"It’s the Emperor’s doing!"
Li Nanshuang blurted out, "Mother, our Li Family should move out of the Capital, let father resign his official post. The further we leave from the Capital, the better. I want to have a showdown with that dog Emperor..."
"Enough!"
Wen Jing’er scolded sharply, coldly saying, "You’re becoming more and more unruly, grounded for a month, no leaving the house. When your father returns, I’ll have him take you to join the army!"
"Pfft, see who can stop me if I want to leave."
Li Nanshuang flicked her ponytail and strode out of the hall.
Watching her disobedient daughter, Wen Jing’er felt both anger and helplessness, having no choice but to vent her anger on her brother: "You’re grounded for half a year, not allowed to step out of the house!"
Wen Er’s face immediately fell.
"Also, has that girl stolen the Seven Kills Blade from the secret chamber? Do you know it’s Nan Shuang’s dowry?"
Wen Jing’er asked, staring intently at her brother.
Wen Er’s heart skipped a beat, remembering the blood blade at Jiang Shouzhong’s waist, pretending to be clueless: "Ah, the Seven Kills Blade is missing? I haven’t seen it."
"Really haven’t seen it?"
"Really haven’t seen it!"
Seeing his sister with a grim face and not speaking, Wen Er sheepishly said, "Sister, I’ll go back to my room to rest then."
Watching her brother’s retreating back, Wen Jing’er shook her head helplessly.
Thinking of the Seven Kills Blade stolen by Li Nanshuang, the woman frowned.
According to her father-in-law, the blade contained a secret; it was originally used to help the Imperial Astronomers successfully defeat the real body of the Asura Queen and suppress her soul.
For years, her husband had re
"Not bad, to have reached Heaven Desolation Boundary so quickly."
Jiang Shouzhong chuckled and tentatively asked, "Master, have you seen Zhang Yunwu?"
Yan Changqing replied lightly, "Don’t worry, with me here, that Buddha Mother won’t dare to cause trouble. I just gave her a choice, proving that Zhang Yunwu and the Protector Deity are two different people. For now, your brother and his family are quite safe."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong completely let his guard down.
"Thank you for your help, Master."
Gratitude filled Jiang Shouzhong’s heart.
"Don’t thank me just yet, I also need your help,"
Yan Changqing chuckled and said, "In a few days, I’m going to the bottom of Huailan Lake, and I’ll need you to come with me. I need to borrow those two Yin-Yang swords from the Taoist River Map within you."
"The bottom of Huailan Lake? Master, what are you going to do there?"
Jiang Shouzhong curiously inquired.
Yan Changqing uncorked the bottle, still only sniffing without drinking, and slowly said, "Try to rescue someone, though I don’t know if it will be successful."
