Chapter 202 Meeting
At the Meng family mansion, Xu Feng brought Li Nianshuang and Xiao Hei to the gate.
"Please inform the two of you that my name is Xu Feng, and I have come to visit the second young master's wife!" Xu Feng politely bowed to the guard.
The two guards squinted their eyes and looked at Xu Feng. One of them asked indifferently, "Who are you?"
"I am Liu Qianhui's disciple, and I am the junior brother of your second young master's wife." Xu Feng explained.
The two guards looked at each other, seeming a little hesitant.
Xu Feng sneaked forward and slipped a gold note to the other party without leaving any trace.
"Okay, I'll go in and report, you guys wait here." The guard's eyes lit up when he saw this and he put it away immediately.
"Good work."
……
After a while, the guard came back and said to Xu Feng, "Come in, the Second Young Master's wife wants to see you."
"Thank you."
Xu Feng, Li Nianshuang and Xiao Hei are about to enter the Meng family.
"Wait, how can this beast enter the mansion?" Another guard saw Xiao Hei following in and immediately stopped him.
"Please be kind enough. We can't stay here for a moment. It's very well behaved." Xu Feng quietly handed out another gold note.
Since the other party had gained the advantage, he did not continue to make things difficult for him. He waved his hand, indicating that Xu Feng could leave.
Xu Feng followed the previous guard and walked in the Meng family mansion for a while until they arrived at the entrance of the inner house. Then he was led by a maid who was waiting there and continued inside to a side courtyard.
Liu Churou had been waiting here anxiously. The moment she saw Xu Feng, she confirmed that it was him. Her eyes reddened and she stepped forward excitedly and said, "Junior brother, is it really you?!"
Xu Feng looked at his senior sister whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and felt a little sad for a moment.
Liu Churou only put on some makeup today, her hair was lightly tied up, and a delicate jade hairpin was inserted diagonally into her bun, adding a bit of elegance. As her eyes moved, a gentle aura naturally emanated from her, and the immaturity of the past had been replaced by the mature charm of a young woman.
On both sides of her body, she held a child in each hand, a boy and a girl, about four or five years old, and looked quite cute.
"Senior Sister, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been?" Xu Feng said with a caring tone.
"Okay, I'm always fine. Come on, Qiu'er and Yu'er, this is your uncle, call him quickly." Liu Churou suppressed the joy of meeting an old friend and hurriedly said to her two children.
After she married Meng Junshan, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, who are now five years old.
Meng Qiu and Meng Yu were very obedient. They looked at Xu Feng curiously and called him "Uncle Master".
Xu Feng smiled and nodded.
Liu Churou's gaze suddenly fell on Li Nianshuang.
"This is my disciple, Li Nianshuang." Xu Feng hurriedly explained. "This is Xiao Hei, Senior Sister should still remember him, right?"
"Uncle Master!" Li Nianshuang hurried forward to greet him.
"Okay, hey, look at me, come into the living room and sit down." Liu Churou greeted the two of them as if she had just woken up from a dream.
……
After entering the living room and sitting down, the maid served tea and Liu Churou immediately asked the maid to take her two children away temporarily.
"Senior Sister, I've been to Huichun Hall, and I know about Master's affairs." Xu Feng took a sip of tea, put it down, and sighed softly.
When Liu Churou heard this, her expression darkened. Thinking of her father who was no longer with us, she couldn't help but shed tears silently.
"Sister, what happened? Master has been practicing medicine in Wushuang County for decades, and he has dealt with Jinglei Sect before, so why did he lose his life in such an unclear way?" Xu Feng asked in confusion. Although it would evoke the pain in Liu Churou's heart, Xu Feng had to find out the truth.
Although Liu Qianhui did not teach him, they were master and disciple after all. It would be fine if he didn't have the ability, but now he was a first-class warrior. Even if it was for Liu Churou, the only person who was sincere to him in Huichun Hall, he could not turn a blind eye.
Outsiders don’t know, but as the only daughter, Liu Churou cannot possibly not know the inside story.
"My father's death was not caused by the Jinglei Sect's people, but by the Jinglei Sect's master's in-laws." Liu Churou suppressed her grief and did not hide the reason. It might be because she had been suppressing it for a long time, or it might be because she had a special trust in her junior brother.
"That day, the man brought his son to visit Jingleimen. His son suddenly became poisoned for unknown reasons and was in critical condition. My father was called in urgently and immediately gave him acupuncture to detoxify him. However, the unconscious child twitched for unknown reasons, causing my father to misplace the acupuncture points.
Because of this, the toxicity was not suppressed for a while and spread a little. In fact, this extremely rare situation was not something my father had not encountered before. Based on his experience, he could remedy the situation quickly.
However, the relative of Jinglei Clan doted on his only son very much. He was already extremely angry because his child was attacked by someone without his knowledge. When he saw the father made a mistake, causing the poison to spread, he kicked the father away in anger.
My poor father was only a ninth-rank official, and he was fatally injured by the angry attack from the other party. He was sent back a few days ago, and then..." Liu Churou burst into tears when she said this.
"Just, just because of this little accident?" Xu Feng said in disbelief.
Liu Churou cried for a while, and finally she could speak again, her voice choked with sobs: "The other family is even stronger than Jinglei Sect. Although my father has been practicing medicine for many years and has met many powerful people, no one has the strength to fight against them. Besides, the person is already dead, and no one will be forgotten. Who would go against a powerful family for a dead person?"
The death of her father Liu Qianhui not only made her lose her only relative, but also made her situation in the Meng family take a sharp turn for the worse. The Meng family was quite powerful, with four third-grade masters in the family, which was considered an upper-middle-level cultivation family in Wushuang County.
Liu Qianhui's connections were also a very important reason why Meng Junshan chose Liu Churou as his wife. Liu Churou knew this and accepted it calmly.
After all, apart from her father's help, she was just an ordinary woman with good medical skills. It was a blessing for her to marry into a third-rate family, let alone the Meng family.
Meng Junshan was a handsome man and was very attentive to her. After all, she was going to get married, so she chose him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qianhui suffered a sudden misfortune. If Liu Churou had not given birth to a pair of children for Meng Junshan, her situation in the Meng family would have been even more difficult as she was helpless.
After her father's death, Liu Churou was deeply saddened by the change in attitude of the Meng family, the secret contempt of the servants, and her husband's indifference and finding a new love outside.
Feeling the coldness of the world, she gradually went out less and less, and put all her thoughts and energy on her two children.
The contacts with the brothers and sisters in Huichuntang gradually became less and less. Later, as some people left Huichuntang and set up their own schools elsewhere, Huichuntang went from bad to worse. Liu Churou felt sad and reduced her contacts with the outside world.
If Xu Feng, whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years, hadn't visited her today, she probably wouldn't have met the other disciples of Huichun Hall unless it was something important.
Meng Junshan was quite satisfied with Liu Churou's "understanding" and "knowing what's best for him". After all, according to normal logic, as the second son of the Meng family, his wife should be a woman from a middle-class family. At the very least, she must be a warrior of the first rank, not an ordinary female doctor like Liu Churou.
He had been attracted to her because of her cuteness and the help her father-in-law Liu Qianhui could bring to him. Now that Liu Qianhui was dead and Liu Churou was a mother, she had been depressed for a long time because of her father's death. Meng Junshan looked down on her as an ordinary person.
He is not a cultivator, has not reached the level, and has no spiritual nourishment. Whether in temperament or other aspects, he is far behind the level-one warriors.
