Chapter 1781: The Thoughts of Mrs. s.h.i.+

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Because she was the daughter of a concubine of the Lu family, Lu Pingrong was the most observant. She keenly caught the hint of displeasure that flashed through s.h.i.+ Zhens eyes.

Husband, dont misunderstand. I didnt have the intention to guess your thoughts, nor did I say anything I shouldnt have after returning to my family. Ive been prioritizing you for many years and Im even more loyal to you. Ive never had any thoughts that I shouldnt have. I believe you know that. s.h.i.+ Zhen, who was originally a bit displeased, looked much better after hearing that.

I naturally know. My wife, dont think too much about it.

Seeing that s.h.i.+ Zhen really wasnt dissatisfied with her, Lu Pingrong continued, 1 accidentally heard from my family that Shuangshuang had some conflicts with that genius alchemist. So, I thought that if the s.h.i.+ family wants to invite that alchemist to refine pills, its best to resolve the misunderstanding first.

s.h.i.+ Zhens expression suddenly changed. Are you telling the truth?

The s.h.i.+ family had already received the news that Lu Zijia could refine the

Mystic Golden Core Pill three days ago. T

Now that Lu Zijia came out of seclusion, the s.h.i.+ family certainly had to take action.

After all, no one would complain about having too many pills. Besides, it was a Mystic Golden Core Pill that could allow one to become a Golden Core expert, so they couldnt miss it.

How would I dare to joke about such an important matter? Even though Shuangshuang and Ningning arent my biological children, Im still their aunt after all. Now that Im their stepmother, would I slander them? If it werent for the s.h.i.+ family, I wouldnt have come here specially.

Lu Pingrong lowered her eyes and said in a quiet voice, If you dont believe me, just ask Shuangshuang to come back and check with her.

Its not that I dont believe you, My wife, but this needs to be handled carefully, do you understand? s.h.i.+ Zhen said with a hint of comfort.

I understand.

Lu Pingrong smiled bitterly and immediately suggested, If Shuangshuang cant leave the academy, you can look for Liang Baixiao from the Liang family. Liang Baixiao has always had a good relations.h.i.+p with Shuangshuang. She should know what misunderstanding Shuangshuang had with that alchemist.

s.h.i.+ Zhen got up and walked around the desk, then sat down next to Lu Pingrong and said gently, My wife, youre so considerate. Ive troubled you.

After a pause, s.h.i.+ Zhen said tentatively, Will this matter make your family unhappy?

The matter s.h.i.+ Zhen was talking about was actually the matter of the s.h.i.+ family hiring alchemists other than the Lu family to refine pills.

The Lu family was an alchemy family. The reason why the s.h.i.+ family had a marriage alliance with the Lu family was because it was easier to get pills from the Lu family.

All these years, the high-level pills that the s.h.i.+ family needed were basically obtained from the Lu family.

Hubby, dont worry. My family understands.

After receiving Lu Pingrongs affirmative answer, s.h.i.+ Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Lu Pingrong took the opportunity to lean over and a hint of smugness flashed through her eyes.

At the Lu patriarchs residence.

They came from Delin Country?

Lu Yu sat in the study. After hearing the report from the secret guard, a hint of deep thought flashed through his eyes.

Yes, Patriarch. Ive already investigated repeatedly. Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan are from Delin Country and they only came to our Hongtian Empire more than two months ago. Apart from the two of them, theres also a spiritual beast. Apart from that, theres no one else.

Delin Country Not only did a small Delin Country produce a genius with a single mutated spirit root, but they also nurtured such an alchemy genius. We really cant underestimate them.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and a dark glint flashed through them..
