#13 - Chapter 13 Returning to my mother's home and offering alchemy inheritance

The sudden situation within the manor had already attracted the attention of everyone, but the city lord's guards didn't dare to step forward.

It wasn't because Hong Lin and Zong Hong were stopping them, but because this matter was a private affair between the city lord and his wife, and they didn't know who to help.

Rather than get involved in the city lord's family affairs, it was better to pretend to be stopped by Hong Lin, at least giving them a chance to shirk responsibility.

Shangguan Yu, who had been kicked to the ground, was in so much pain that his face was twisted, and he even vomited stomach acid.

"The city lord's behavior is truly an eye-opener for me."

Chen Changsheng said with his hands behind his back and a stern expression, "I had no intention of interfering in other people's family affairs, but I can't stand by and watch the madam be killed. I urge the city lord to calm down and think carefully, and have a good talk with the madam."

"There's no need to talk."

Wang Jiayun wiped away her tears and stood up, sobbing uncontrollably, "There's nothing to talk about. He even wants to kill me. What kind of life can we have? He actually hired someone to kill me for a woman. When that failed, he still wants to kill me in the manor, in front of everyone. Wang Jiayun, I was truly blind back then!"

Her voice was hysterical, and everyone in the manor heard it clearly.

The servants in the manor were all silent.

Recalling the madam's behavior over the years, staying dutifully at home, fulfilling her duties, and raising her children, she had never done anything to betray the city lord.

Yet, she received such a result in the end, it was truly pitiful.

You say, as the city lord, if you want to take a concubine or marry a second wife, you can discuss it with the madam. Even if the madam doesn't agree, it shouldn't escalate to hiring someone to kill her!

The servants couldn't understand.

Shangguan Yu's face was unsightly as he said, "Without any evidence, you're spouting nonsense here, trying to excuse your gigolo and put the blame on me. You're truly a vicious woman!"

"Father!" Shangguan Ping seemed as if the sky had fallen, and said with a trembling voice, "Is what mother said true? Did you hire someone to kill us?"

"Your mother is talking nonsense…"

"Enough!"

Wang Jiayun interrupted the conversation sharply, heartbroken, "Ping'er, let's go. This is no longer our home."

Arguing had already lost its meaning.

From the moment Shangguan Yu wanted to kill her, their relationship as husband and wife had completely ended. Continuing to argue would only be a waste of words.

Even if Wang Jiayun forced herself to forgive Shangguan Yu, the resentment in her heart would never dissipate.

Who would dare to live with someone who wants to kill them?

Moreover, Shangguan Yu's insults just now were like a sharp carving knife, scraping her heart with wounds, difficult to heal and repair. That kind of pain could not be expressed in words.

"Mother…"

Wang Jiayun took her daughter's hand and went straight to her daughter's room. After packing a few clothes, she left in a hurry.

Chen Changsheng and the others exchanged glances and silently followed.

Uncle Chai, who was taking care of the horses outside the manor, saw that the madam and young lady's eyes were red and their faces were stained with tears. He immediately asked anxiously, "Madam, what happened?"

"I'm going back to my parents' home! Prepare the carriage!"

Uncle Chai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Changsheng behind him. Seeing him sigh and nod, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately went to prepare.

"Young Master Chen, I need you to escort me to Wangjiang City."

Wang Jiayun's tone was cautious, and she took out a book from her package and stuffed it into his arms, "This is my reward!"

Chen Changsheng curiously glanced at it, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This was actually a legacy of alchemy!

The ancient book contained more than thirty kinds of pill formulas, including common formulas such as the Bigu Pill, Detoxification Pill, and Qi Gathering Pill, as well as the extremely precious Foundation Establishment Pill formula!

"Madam, go back to the house and pack up. This ancient book is the main thing, right?" Chen Changsheng said lightly.

Staying in the city lord's manor for even a second was suffering. Wang Jiayun had no need to pack clothes at all. She could buy anything she lacked on the road.

But she still endured her anger and ran back to the house, obviously for this ancient book.

Tears welled up in Wang Jiayun's eyes, and she bit her red lip lightly, nodding, "That's right, this is the only valuable thing in the manor. I don't want to benefit that guy."

"Alright, I'll take this task."

Chen Changsheng accepted the ancient book.

Even if he didn't escort Wang Jiayun, he would still leave this place.

Offending the city lord, his future life would definitely be uneasy. Although he wasn't afraid of the city lord's revenge, he hated trouble.

Since he was going to change his environment anyway, it was better to go to Wangjiang City with Wang Jiayun. At least with the Wang family's power, his life would definitely be comfortable.

"Senior brother, madam, can I go with you?" Hong Lin asked softly, hopefully.

She was afraid of Shangguan Yu's revenge, and also worried that Xue Yong's matter would be discovered.

Previously, with Chen Changsheng around, she dared to follow him back to Tianmu City. Now that Chen Changsheng was leaving, she didn't dare to stay any longer.

Zong Hong gritted his teeth and said, "I also want to go with senior brother! I don't need any reward."

"Shangguan Yu won't easily let me return to my parents' home. You can follow, but if you can't hold on, you can leave at any time."

Wang Jiayun didn't refuse to let them follow.

More people meant more strength, but she didn't think highly of their strength.

Only Chen Changsheng, this cultivator, had the ability to escort her and her daughter to Wangjiang City.

In fact, Chen Changsheng really wanted to say, why don't I just help you kill Shangguan Yu? That would be the end of it, and there would be no need to worry about so much, and there would be no follow-up troubles.

But these words were not suitable to be spoken.

Shangguan Yu was, after all, Shangguan Ping's father. How could he kill someone's father in front of their daughter?

Moreover, Shangguan Yu still had a family behind him. Directly killing him would definitely cause a series of troubles. It would no longer be a marriage issue between two families, but would evolve into a feud between the Shangguan family and Chen Changsheng.

So the best way was to let the Wang family handle it themselves.

I'm just a hired martial artist. If anything happens, go to the Wang family, it has nothing to do with me!

Soon, Uncle Chai prepared a new carriage.

Wang Jiayun took her silent daughter into the carriage, and then said to Uncle Chai outside the carriage, "Uncle Chai, I need you to stay in the manor and pass on information to me."

Uncle Chai, who still didn't understand the situation, could only grit his teeth and nod, "I understand, madam. I will send you a letter by carrier pigeon if anything happens."

After returning to the manor and inquiring, he would know what happened in the manor.

"Uncle Chai, goodbye for now!"

Chen Changsheng cupped his fists in salute, then took Hong Lin into the carriage, with Zong Hong as the coachman.

With a burst of rapid hoofbeats, sand and dust rose into the air.

Chen Changsheng and the others had only returned to Tianmu City for less than half an hour before leaving again, and their destination this time was six thousand miles away from Tianmu City!
