After a good day's rest at home, Zhuang Yanqiu now has a solid feeling of coming home. He thought that the first person to visit him would be Dushanbu, but who knew it was Shu Maolin.

Shu Maolin brought a box of gold into Zhuang Yanqiu's room, and not long after, he ran out excitedly holding a pile of paper, smiling from ear to ear.

Zhuang Yanqiu was sitting in the room, and the box in front of him contained the income from the painting books in the past few months. Shu Maolin sold the painting books to more and more worlds, and he became a rich man just by selling the painting books.But this person doesn't only care about money, he cares more about reputation, so he has to keep producing newer and better works, which is the main reason why he is so close to Zhuang Yanqiu.

Zhuang Yanqiu put the box of gold away, thought for a while and took them out again. He has to buy spirit stones for the children, and I don't know how many pieces of spirit stones this box of gold can buy. I'll ask Shao Zhengyi later, lest you be deceived.

Shaozhengyi went out today to report on his work. He thought he would go all day, but he came back before noon. When he entered the door, he was filled with a chilly air, which scared Ah Mian, who was hiding at the door and wanted to sneak attack him. After yelling a few times, she hurriedly hid in Zhuang Yanqiu's room.

Shaozheng went straight into Zhuang Yanqiu's room, sat down in front of the tea table, poured himself two glasses of water and drank it all in one gulp, slapped his palm on the table heavily, unconcealable anger radiated from his limbs come out.

Zhuang Yanqiu put away the drawing book in her hand, and asked casually, "Who provoked you? Why did you lose your temper?"

"I went to report on my duties today, and reported to the 'Eight Gates Mansion' the incident of the great demon causing disaster and the incident of the ice shark's disturbance, but was reprimanded by the higher-ups, saying that I did not follow the rules and fined me half a year's salary."

Zhuang Yanqiu frowned, "Who is so indiscriminate?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Yanqiu thought that the person in charge of Bamen Mansion is the young king Haozheng, so he knew it well.

Sure enough, Shao Zhengyi did not answer his words, but turned his face away.

"You knew that he would make things difficult for you, so why did you get so angry, and instead angered yourself." Zhuang Yanqiu kindly comforted Shaozheng.

Shaozheng closed his eyes regretfully, "For being such a general, I am really ashamed of those soldiers who followed me. For so many years, those who joined the army at the same time as them were either promoted early or improved in cultivation. Only those who followed me , not only has no hope of promotion, but even the improvement in self-cultivation has to be carefully concealed, for fear of being used for fuss with ulterior motives."

"Has it reached this point?" Zhuang Yanqiu felt quite unfair about Shao Zhengyi's situation.

"That's right! Anyone who follows me will be suppressed by the palace. Once the cultivation level is high, they will be sent away by the palace. Those who don't want to leave can only hide their own strength." Shaozheng said this, tightly He clenched his fists, "I'm sorry for them. This time I wanted to give them some credit, but I didn't expect that the credit was not earned, and I was scolded."

Serving the people wholeheartedly, killing both the big monster and the ice shark, and restoring the morals of the small town, these should have been resounding achievements, but they were all obliterated under the stalking of Haozheng Shaowang.

If they knew that they practiced iron and blood codes in the frontier, I am afraid that these people might label themselves as 'disrespectful'.

Shao Zhengyi felt that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he had endured it for so many years, why couldn't he bear it at all this time?

"You can't even keep your own credit, so you don't have to blame others." Zhuang Yanqiu said to him flatly, "'Bamen Mansion' is not the only one, if you tolerate this matter, you will be punished." Outsiders regard it as the family affairs of Shaozheng's family, but in the final analysis, it is you who are useless."

Shaozheng raised his eyes and glanced at him sullenly, "You are right! But, Shaozheng's family has been like this for generations."

"Then don't complain." Zhuang Yanqiu replied coldly, "Since this is the case, you should follow the example of your predecessors and lie down honestly. Don't talk about being reconciled and doing nothing at the same time."

Shaozheng stood up like a cannonball, "I really can't bear it this time! I can't comfort myself to be obedient...then I can only resist."

Zhuang Yanqiu turned her head and looked at him sideways, but didn't answer his words. He only realized now that this guy deliberately used this topic to cover his words.What's the meaning?Do you want to show yourself that you hate Haozheng Palace?

"Yanqiu, after talking with you, my heart has calmed down a lot." Shaozheng smiled relaxedly, "Actually, I have already reported this matter to the other seven big families today, I would like to see See how they can take away the military merits of my subordinates."

Zhuang Yanqiu rolled his eyes at him, "You are really strange, don't tell me you are not sure about what you do, and you still want to seek approval from me?"

Shaozheng smiled shyly, "I was oppressed too hard before, no, this is the first time I formally resist, and it is normal to find someone to agree with! Yanqiu, if you think about it, it's fine if I'm alone. Isn't it pitiful for the soldiers who died at the border to sacrifice their lives but not get the respect they deserve?"

Zhuang Yanqiu poured him a glass of water, "Yes, pitiful! I hope you can always remember the pitiful scene before they died, and don't get knocked twice and wilt again."

"No!" Shao Zhengyi narrowed his eyes sharply as he said, "Since I have decided to resist, I will not look back."

Zhuang Yanqiu just smiled and said nothing, since Shaozheng didn't resist him, he had no objections, but as long as he could make Shaozhenghao feel uncomfortable, he was quite happy to see it happen.

"Just wait, within two days, they will call me back and scold me for disregarding the family law of my ancestors and oppressing my family." When Shaozheng said this, his face couldn't help but contort.

Zhuang Yanqiu moved the box of gold in front of Shao Zhengyi, and changed the subject for him, "How many spirit stones can these gold be exchanged for?"

Shaozhengyi roughly estimated the amount of the gold, "Look at the quality, you can exchange a lot for low-grade ones, seven or eight yuan for mid-grade ones, and high-grade ones... one piece."

Zhuang Yanqiu didn't know that the value of spirit stones was so expensive. The spirit stones that Yin Jiuhui gave him before were all top-grade, and they were 7 yuan each, and they belonged to different spirit veins. Now that he knew it, he was quite dissatisfied with Yin Jiuhui. Excuse me.

"Then, can you replace me with 8 pieces of spirit stones with different spirit veins? Medium grade is fine." Zhuang Yanqiu asked.

Shaozheng raised his eyebrows puzzled, "Why do you want so many spirit stones? Are they from different spirit veins? Cultivation is not this kind of practice, right?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just ask if you can change it." Zhuang Yanqiu lowered the corners of her eyes.

"Yes!" Shaozheng pushed the box back again, "If you want spirit stones, my house also collects them, so just ask someone to bring them to you. You should keep these golds and give them to your servant to buy and eat." Right! With their food intake, it’s not enough to feed them for decades.”

Zhuang Yanqiu quickly waved her hand, "No! I don't want yours, you can exchange it with gold for me!"

Shaozheng still has so many soldiers under his command, and has no income, and is oppressed and exploited by his father and brother in various ways, how can he take advantage of the other party?

"Yes! Yanqiu won't want your spirit stone. If he wants the spirit stone, I will give it to him!" While speaking, a familiar warm voice came from the door of the room. Upon hearing that voice, Zhuang Yanqiu's body couldn't help it froze.

Shaozheng turned around guardingly to protect Zhuang Yanqiu while staring closely at the door.

Then I saw Yin Jiugui Shangxian, who hadn't been seen by Yue Yu, fell outside the door, staring at Zhuang Yanqiu inside, and rushed in anxiously, "Yanqiu! I finally waited for you! You guys Where did the sky go? I'm so anxious!"

Shaozheng frowned slightly, with an expression of disbelief, he recognized Yin Jiuhui, "Shangxian?"

Yin Jiuhui only glanced at Shaozhengyi without taking a closer look, and pulled Zhuang Yanqiu out from behind Shaozhengyi, and stuffed him into his arms, "You child, why did you leave without saying goodbye? What happened? Why can't you wait for me to come back and make decisions for you, and you have to leave on your own, making me worry and sad?"

"Shangxian...I..." Zhuang Yanqiu lowered her face in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain her behavior.

"I know, you mind that the old pavilion master secretly sent someone to check your pulse. I've already told him about it, and he regretted it very much. You don't know, we are looking for you everywhere, and I went back to Taiyin City specially to wait for you Come back." Yin Jiuhui said a lot without stopping, wishing he could express all his feelings these days in words.

Shaozheng looked at the two people left and right, and a bold thought arose in his heart: "Could it be that this Shangxian is also Zhuang Yanqiu's guest?"

"Shangxian, I was really shocked at the time." Zhuang Yanqiu had no choice but to tell the truth, "And those three seniors came to visit suddenly. I was afraid that they would know about the child, so I had to leave first."

"You did the right thing, but why didn't you leave me a message?" Yin Jiuhui was reluctant to scold him, "Those three did know some inside information and came to press me for questions, but the old pavilion master stopped them , They had nothing to do and finally left again.”

Thinking of the chaotic situation at that time, Zhuang Yanqiu didn't trust the old pavilion master at the beginning, but he felt his pulse again, so she was naturally frightened, and wanted to protect the children and escape first.

From the conversation between the two of them, Shaozheng vaguely understood what happened.Could it be that the fetus he had always thought was the birth of Yin Jiuhui?Really not your own?

Shao Zhengyi's footsteps unconsciously backed up twice, bumping into the tea table behind him, and the movement alarmed the other two at the same time.

Only then did Zhuang Yanqiu and Yin Jiuhui turn their attention to Shao Zhengyi.

As soon as Shaozheng was forced by Yin Jiuhui's gaze, he had nowhere to hide, and for a moment he had the idea of ​​retreating, but this thought was fleeting, no!Just make sure that the baby is not his, Yanqiu is still single now, as long as he is single, he has a chance, even if the other party is an immortal, he can't shrink back!
