“North Mystic Heaven’s Consort!” Wen Qi was shocked.
Lu Zhongling sighed. “He’s indeed a big shot!”
Wen Qi hurriedly asked the butler, “Are you sure that’s the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort?”
“How can it be a lie?” The butler had a certain expression.
“You’ve never seen him before. He’s as handsome as a god that descended to the mortal world!”
“From his aura, it’s obvious that he’s a high and mighty figure. Not to mention, he has four beautiful quadruplets beside him!”
Lu Zhongling and Wen Qi fell silent.
Coupled with the information mentioned by the butler, they were extremely certain that the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort had indeed arrived at the Wen family.
“That little bitch actually encountered the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort in our Immeasurable Heaven. How lucky?”
Lu Zhongling gritted his teeth. “Qi’er, a respected figure like the North Mystic Heaven’s Consort has arrived in our Wen family. We must not slight him.”
“Let’s put the matter with the little bitch aside first. Come with me immediately to pay your respects to the Consort!”
Wen Qi hurriedly nodded. “Okay!”
Even if this was Immeasurable Heaven, they still didn’t dare to be disrespectful to Lin Xuan.
After all, that was Empress Mystic Ice’s man.
God knew how capable he was!
Then, Lu Zhongling hurriedly tidied his clothes and his hair.
After confirming that his appearance was perfect, he hurried out with Wen Qi.
They quickly arrived at the main hall in the front yard.
A group of elders and higher-ups of the Wen family stood at the entrance of the main hall with looks of awe.
He looked forward.
Wen Taibo, Wen Junyao, and Jiang Jinzhong were all standing there.
On the armchair in front of them, a handsome man in white was sitting and teasing the four precious girls in his arms.
“As expected, just as the butler said, his aura and appearance are top-notch!”
Lv Zhongling and Wen Qi thought at the same time.
The two of them hurriedly went forward and bowed.
“The acting head of the Wen family, Lu Zhongling, greets the Consort!”
“Greetings, Consort!”
Lin Xuan looked at them calmly.
Although this mother and son looked refined, it was obvious at a glance that they were not good people.
As the saying went, the face is the index of the heart.
Just a simple glance from Lin Xuan made Lu Zhongling and Wen Qi feel terrified.
As expected of a high and mighty figure. Just one look was unbearable!
Wen Junyao said, “Auntie, why don’t I see my mother? What did you do to her?”
She had gone to the backyard to look for her mother the moment she entered, but she could not find any traces of her.
This made her suspect that Lu Zhongling and the others had done something.
“Don’t call me auntie. I can’t afford to be called that!”
Lu Zhongling had a look of rejection. “As for your mother, how would I know where she is?”
Her original plan was to kill Wen Junyao before forcing her mother to her death.
After all, Wen Junyao was the difficult one to deal with.
As long as they killed her, dealing with an ordinary woman like He Fang would be a piece of cake.
At this moment, the butler hurried in.
“Madam, someone found He Fang hanging from a tree in the back mountain…”
“How could this be?” Lu Zhongling revealed a hint of shock on the surface, but she was overjoyed inside.
He Fang must have hanged herself.
Although Wen Junyao was protected by the Consort and could not be killed for the time being,
He Fang’s death must be a huge blow to Wen Junyao. This would definitely make Wen Junyao wish she was dead!
The butler’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Lu Zhongling wanted to say something but hesitated.
She felt that He Fang probably unintentionally found out about her sending someone to kill Wen Junyao.
He Fang probably hung herself because she felt that Wen Junyao was dead for sure.
Wen Junyao also thought of this.
However, everything needed to be confirmed. She forced herself not to say anything.
Instead, she rushed out the door and headed straight for the back mountain.
“Let’s go take a look too!” Lu Zhongling hurriedly said.
After all, the Consort was here. As the acting family head, she could not just stand by and watch.
Furthermore, she wanted to personally confirm that He Fang was dead.
If she died, she would be overjoyed!
Seeing them rush out, Xuan Zhu asked in shock,
“Father, is Auntie Wen’s mother unable to get down from the tree after climbing up?”
Because the butler did not dare to say much just now, Xuan Zhu thought that He Fang could not come down from the tree.
This was what Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You thought.
After all, the little girls were still young and did not know that there was a way to die by hanging.
Lin Xuan instantly understood his daughters’ thoughts, so he casually said, “Sort of.”
“Gee, that won’t do! I climbed a very tall tree once and couldn’t get down. It was so scary!”
Xuan You hurriedly pulled Lin Xuan back. “Father, let’s go take a look too. If Aunt Wen’s mother needs help, there’s strength in numbers!”
Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han nodded at the same time. “Yes, yes!”
Seeing how innocent and loving his daughters were, Lin Xuan could only agree.
However, he made up his mind not to let his daughters get too close.
A person who had been hanged looked very terrifying. He did not want the children to be frightened.
At this moment, at the back of the mountain in the Wen family’s courtyard.
Wen Junyao saw He Fang lying under a tree with a long white cloth hanging on it.
A few Wen family servants stood beside He Fang’s corpse and discussed softly.
“Mother!”
Wen Junyao knelt beside He Fang’s corpse with a trembling body and pushed her crazily.
“Mother, wake up! Wake up!”
After pushing for a long time, she saw that He Fang did not move and her body was already stiff.
Wen Junyao’s tears immediately fell, and her eyes were bloodshot and filled with anguish.
As for Lu Zhongling and the others, they revealed gloating expressions.
“You must have forced my mother to death!”
Wen Junyao lost it at this moment. She took out her dagger and was about to attack Lu Zhongling.
“How dare you!”
Wen Taibo and the other elders immediately stood in front of Lu Zhongling.
Under their powerful pressure, Wen Junyao’s expression changed and she was forced to take a step back.
Jiang Jinzhong hurriedly pulled her back and shook his head. “Miss, don’t be rash!”
Now, they were surrounded by the Wen family.
If Wen Junyao attacked first, it would give the Wen family an excuse to attack her.
Lu Zhongling glanced at Lin Xuan in the distance and snorted.
“As much as I want to kill you and this woman, I won’t go to such lengths to get her hung here in the back mountain.”
“Little bitch, don’t be impudent here just because you have the Consort’s help!”
Wen Junyao trembled with anger.
Although Lu Zhongling did not attack directly, he was definitely the culprit who forced He Fang to her death.
At this moment, she swore in her heart that she would definitely get revenge on Lu Zhongling and Wen Taibo!
Gritting her teeth, Wen Junyao suppressed her grief and turned around to take He Fang’s corpse away.
Just as she bent down, the jade cicada pendant in her neck fell out.
Wen Junyao’s eyes lit up when she saw this pendant.
“Father gave this jade cicada to me when I was five years old. He said that this pendant itself is an extremely rare medicinal primer.”
“With it, you can refine a saint-rank Seven Treasures Soul Return Pill that can save people who have died less than a day ago.”
“Now, as long as I get the pill formula for the Seven Treasures Soul Return Pill, I might be able to refine an immortal pill to save Mother!”
Wen Junyao suddenly felt that when her father gave her this jade cicada, he might have expected today’s situation.
At the thought of this, Wen Junyao looked at Lu Zhongling pleadingly.
“Aunt, no matter what, my mother is innocent.”
“I beg you to let me enter the Pill Sutra Pavilion once to find a medicinal pill formula that can save my mother!”
Because the Pill Sutra Pavilion was heavily guarded by the Wen family, one could not enter casually without the permission of the family head or the acting family head.
Therefore, although she hated Lu Zhongling to the core, for her mother, she was still willing to plead humbly.
However, her plea recevied Lu Zhongling’s harsher insults.
“The Pill Sutra Pavilion is the most important place in our family. How can a little bitch like you enter?!”
Wen Qi, Wen Taibo, and the others couldn’t help but reveal mocking expressions.
“If you want to save a dead person, you have to refine at least a saint-rank medicinal pill. Even if I give you the pill formula, can you refine it with your ability?”
“That’s right. Don’t tell me you think you can refine such an immortal pill just because you can communicate with Divine Farmer Cauldron?”
“Wishful thinking, how stupid!”
…
Lu Zhongling then waved her hand domineeringly. “Scram!”
She could tell that Lin Xuan and Wen Junyao had probably just met.
The reason Lin Xuan came to the Wen family was probably to let Wen Junyao take her mother away.
Otherwise, Wen Junyao would definitely not lower her voice and beg her to let her enter the Pill Sutra Pavilion.
And if Lin Xuan spoke, Lu Zhongling would not dare to refuse!
“Alright! I’ll leave!” Wen Junyao’s eyes were red as she turned around while holding back her tears.
After wrapping He Fang in a white cloth, she carried her corpse on her back.
The upright corpse on her back seemed indescribably desolate.
“Miss, let me help you!” Jiang Jinzhong hurriedly went forward.
Wen Junyao shook her head. “No need, I’ll do it myself!”
Seeing this, Lu Zhongling could not help but look at Wen Taibo.
They saw a hint of ruthlessness in Wen Junyao.
This made them feel an inexplicable sense of threat that made them feel uneasy!
Thus, deep killing intent appeared in their eyes at the same time.
Soon, Wen Junyao carried the corpse to Lin Xuan and bowed slightly.
“Thank you for coming, Consort. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to bring my mother away!”
She knew very well.
If not for Lin Xuan, forget about taking He Fang’s corpse away, even she would have died long ago.
Seeing that Wen Junyao was about to leave, Xuan You hurriedly went forward and asked, “Auntie, is your mother really unable to be revived?”
Although she could not see He Fang’s condition, Xuan You still understood that she was already dead.
“Yes!”
Wen Junyao sighed sadly. “I originally wanted to refine a medicinal pill to try, but unfortunately, I don’t know the medicinal pill formula at all. I don’t even have the chance to try!”
With that, she suppressed her tears and bowed slightly to Lin Xuan before turning to leave.
Before she could take two steps, she suddenly felt someone poke her waist.
She turned around and saw Xuan Zhu and the other girls.
Xuan Zhu said, “Auntie, my father can refine any medicinal pill!”
Xuan Xi nodded. “That’s right. My father’s medicinal pill saved an emperor, a demon beast, and a very cute baby.”
Xuan Han revealed a sympathetic expression. “A person without a mother is very pitiful. Auntie, we don’t want to see you in such pain!”
Xuan You hurriedly turned around and hugged Lin Xuan’s thigh. “Daddy, you can definitely save Auntie, right?”
Lin Xuan’s gaze landed on Wen Junyao’s jade cicada pendant and he nodded. “Yes.”
