The Otherworldly God

Chapter 56 Qinchu's Promise

Listening to their discussion, it seemed that the majority of voices really had no intention of letting them go.

It didn't matter whether Le Zheng Yuhua went or not, but considering that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Le Zheng Shuiling to meet her idol, and she was also somewhat interested in the influential figures of the Taoist Alliance, she stood up and reported.

"Master, masters, Yuhua is rude." Everyone stopped and looked over. Le Zheng Yuhua then began to ask, "Yuhua dares to ask, which Miss Mu is this?"

"Mr. Mu and Miss Mu, you are so stupid. I'm afraid you will be worried if I ask you to attend the banquet."

"Master Sihui, Yuhua asked this because Yuhua and his junior brothers and sisters know more than one Miss Mu. They just want to confirm whether it is the one Yuhua is thinking of, so as not to make a mistake and make a fool of themselves."

Miss Mu has two? This is an unexpected surprise for them, which makes more masters want to try their best to become relatives with Master Mu.

"It's signed by Mu Qinchu."

Le Zhengqin's words further solidified their thoughts, and Le Zheng Shuiling even stood up excitedly.

"Equally famous daughter-in-law."

Realizing that he had said something very serious, Le Zheng Shuiling immediately covered his mouth and sat down, while Le Zheng Qiming stood up immediately.

"Reporting to the master, yesterday we helped the rice planter outside the city. During our break, we ran into a girl asking for water from us. At the time, we only knew that the girl's name was Qin Chu and she was from Huacheng, but we didn't know her surname was Mu.

My junior sister saw that Miss Qinchu was pretty, well-educated, and was afraid that I would miss my life because of my practice, so she often joked about this. Fortunately, Miss Qinchu had a very good temperament and did not blame me. Instead, she had a good chat with my junior sister.

Just now, Aunt Fang mentioned that Miss Mu sent us an invitation. I think we don’t even know all the ladies in Jimen City. We have only seen Qin Chu and another lady who was traveling with us, so we just guessed it was them. So when the master mentioned Miss Qin Chu’s name, Junior Sister was too happy and said the wrong thing. Please don’t blame her, master.”

"Yes, yes, I was there yesterday too. Before she left, Miss Qinchu said she would treat us to a drink in Huacheng."

"So they have been invited for a long time. I'm afraid that today they are here to entertain everyone with Mr. Mu. Miss Mu has come to fulfill her promise. It seems that not only the three of them will go, but even Master Zhi will have to go with them. It is said that Mr. Mu has a lot of wine collection. This mission of the Rice Bureau is really worth it, Master Zhi."

"That's right, that's right!"

Le Zhengzhi smiled naively with shining eyes. Everyone who knew him knew that he was addicted to alcohol.

If Le Zhengli said that even if the four people were confirmed, they would go together. Although Le Zhengqin did not say it explicitly, there was no reason not to let them go. After all, this was related to Miss Mu's credibility and face.

Before the meeting was over, Le Zhengqin asked them to leave.

When I walked outside the ancestral hall, it was still raining and the rain was much heavier.

Le Zheng Shui Ling didn't even bother to take an umbrella. She rushed outside and let the rain pour on her face to calm herself down.

"I really didn't expect it, Qi Ming, I'm so happy."

"Don't be too happy too soon. It's still unclear whether you will be allowed to go or not."

"Don't worry, although the master didn't say anything, he has already decided to let you go."

"Really, Big Brother?"

"Yes."

"Ah, thank you, Big Brother. I'm going to buy some new clothes."

Watching her running away happily like a child, Le Zheng Hongjun couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that our Lezheng has such a disciple."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. We'll be leaving now."

Le Zheng Hongjun wanted to call them, especially Le Zheng Yuhua, and wanted to get to know him, but he couldn't say it out loud and could only watch them leave.

Le Zheng Qiming took a lot of effort to grab Le Zheng Shuiling and put the umbrella in her hands.

"Don't get sick, how can you go to the Painted City then?"

"Thank you, Qi Ming. And I'm sorry, I almost hurt you just now."

"I know you regret it so much and almost missed a great opportunity, but don't mention it again. Becoming relatives with the Mu family is something you wouldn't even dare to dream about."

"It's a pity to think about it this way. Qin Chu is such a good girl, but you don't dare to marry her just because she is Mr. Mu's daughter."

"Nonsense again, can I marry her?"

"Yes, I see she has a good impression of you."

"Brother, please stop making fun of me. Look, who among them doesn't want to be a relative of the Mu family? They brought up Brother Hongjun because no one wants to give in to the other, so only Brother Hongjun is the most suitable. As for us, don't be so wishful."

My chest felt slightly warm, and I could even feel my heart beating slightly, as if the three leaves in the bracelet had come alive. This happened when I met Qin Chu and the others yesterday.

Compared to Qin Chu's arrival, Le Zheng Yuhua suddenly became concerned about the so-called lady Qin Chu came to visit, but never said a word.

"If Mu Qinchu is the young lady of the Mu family, then who is the young lady she is talking about?" Some scenes from costume dramas suddenly came to my mind, where young ladies from wealthy families disguised themselves to avoid exposing their identities when traveling. "It is not impossible that the identities have been exchanged. The one who is talking to us is indeed Mu Qinchu, the young lady of the Mu family, and the one who has not shown up is her maid."

But this idea made Le Zheng Yuhua a little confused. Although he was not clear about the differences in clothing between people in this world, after seeing the servants and maids in the compound, he could roughly understand that Mu Qinchu's dress was not like that of a servant or maid, nor like a child or a maid.

"Is it true that there are two young ladies in the Mu Mansion?"

While he was thinking, Le Zhengli suddenly stood in front of him, without an umbrella and without getting wet.

"Mr. Mu undoubtedly has only one daughter."

Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Shuiling stopped and looked back when they heard the voice. They had just walked past but had not noticed Le Zheng Li at all. From this alone, Le Zheng Yuhua could tell that he had come to find her on purpose.

"But uncle, we really saw two young ladies yesterday, and Miss Qinchu even called the other young lady Miss."

"Shui Ling, how old is Mr. Mu?"

"Well... from what I know, seventy... almost eighty." Le Zheng Shui Ling suddenly remembered what Le Zheng Li said, that Mu Lao's daughter was only twenty-eight years old. She covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Then his daughter didn't come into being until he was nearly sixty?"

"Where's Madam Mu?"

In Le Zheng Yuhua's opinion, it is not uncommon for rich and powerful people to have a young and beautiful spouse.

"Mrs. Mu is a few years younger. So, Mrs. Mu gave birth to Miss Mu after she was over 50 years old?"

"Maybe it's not Madam Mu's biological child?"

"That's impossible. Mr. Mu is not that kind of person."

This was the first time that Le Zheng Shui Ling gave Le Zheng Yu Hua the cold shoulder, although Le Zheng Yu Hua could also understand the desire to protect her idol.

"There are indeed many Taoists who keep concubines in the Taoist Alliance. When their wives are unable to bear children or they want to give birth to better Taoist offspring, they look for suitable concubines everywhere. Taoists also value their reputations, so they naturally won't make such things public. Therefore, the women they choose can only live in the dark, or... This is already tacitly accepted in the Taoist Alliance."

Although Le Zheng Qiming didn't finish his words, Le Zheng Yuhua understood what he meant.

"It is an unspoken rule of the Dao League."

Le Zheng Yuhua could understand why Le Zheng Shuiling turned her face away when Le Zheng Yuhua said that. After all, this was a huge stain and something Le Zheng Shuiling had zero tolerance for. How could she question her idol like that?

"What exactly is going on? Won't you find out when you go to the banquet?"

"Master uncle, since you know so much, why don't you just tell us directly...Master uncle?"

"It's gone. It seems I don't want to tell you."

"You don't know either. I don't believe you're not curious. You stinky Qi Ming, huh."
