destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei guessed that while he was handling matters at the princess's residence, Aunt Ying took some time to obtain the medicinal herbs and silver needles.

At other times, she didn't dare to leave Li Wei for too long.

Putting everything else aside, the young master Zuo that Li Wei brought back today has the cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm Perfection, so killing Li Wei should be a piece of cake for him.

Of course, even if he were a cultivator from the Spirit Bridge, he wouldn't be able to detect Aunt Ying's presence.

"Aunt Ying, may I tell you your name?"

Li Wei looked at Aunt Ying's slender hands as she prepared the medicinal bath and asked.

"Xiao Shuying," the beautiful woman replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Aunt Ying is so beautiful, she must have many admirers."

Li Wei looked at the figure with her back to him, her ample curves exposed, and waited nervously for an answer.

To be honest, when Long Bilin treated him well, he felt more like a monarch appreciating his subject.

Although this was completely contrary to Long Bilin's true thoughts, that was Li Wei's first impression.

But the feeling he got from Aunt Ying—Xiao Shuying—was completely different.

Xiao Shuying gave him the feeling of a loving elder, but this love had become somewhat distorted.

The two were a little too intimate from the beginning, which seemed more like an innate compatibility.

Just as the characters "凹凸" (āo tū) are a perfect match, he felt that he and Xiao Shuying were a perfect match.

So he was quite certain that he wanted to win over this kind aunt.

As for the engagement with Lin Peiyao... First of all, this world allows men to have multiple wives and concubines, and secondly, I have never seen Lin Peiyao as an adult.

As for Xiao Shuying, he was already quite certain of his feelings.

In general, he is currently in a one-sided love phase.

Because he could sense that Xiao Shuying only regarded him as a junior, and she could not possibly acknowledge the change in this affection.

"They're all just a bunch of philanderers. Not many people can actually see me now, and most of those who have seen me are already dead."

"It's all set up, come in now." Xiao Shuying straightened up and greeted Li Wei.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Li Wei happily took off his clothes, leaving only his underpants.

Xiao Shuying looked away from his strong physique.

However, considering that she already regarded him as a junior, she looked at him openly and generously.

"Hmm, it's well-trained and quite sturdy," she commented like an experienced driver.

Li Wei wasted no time and stepped into the bathtub to soak his body in the medicinal liquid.

About fifteen minutes later, he felt a stinging sensation on his skin.

"Stand up," Xiao Shuying commanded.

In the blink of an eye, she had filled Li Wei's body with silver needles.

"Now sit down carefully, being careful not to touch the silver needles."

Li Wei did as instructed. Since there were no needles inserted in his buttocks, this step was not difficult.

After a while, Li Wei felt countless hot medicinal forces enter his body through those silver needles.

My whole body is burning with pain.

"Hold on!" Xiao Shuying felt a pang of sympathy seeing him covered in sweat.

About half an hour later, the medicinal bath had cooled down a bit, and the bath was finally over.

After Xiao Shuying removed the silver needles, Li Wei immediately fell into a deep sleep. The pain was so intense that it made him lose his mind.

The next morning, when Li Wei woke up, he found that he had been washed clean, with no trace of the medicinal bath, and his underwear had been changed.

I had instructed the maid not to come over last night; the only people left here besides me were Xiao Shuying and me…

Putting aside his romantic thoughts, Li Wei got up and washed.

When he arrived at the front hall, he learned that the two senior and junior disciples had already left early in the morning.

They must have their own things to do.

Even Xiao Shuying, his personal bodyguard, would sometimes be away from him, doing her own thing.

For example, she likes to take a bath in the morning.

However, she wouldn't go too far to ensure that Li Wei remained within her aura's warning range.

Knowing that Xiao Shuying was taking a bath, Li Wei quickly took the opportunity to do something that she shouldn't know.

He went to the underground vault of the Li residence.

The silver in the basement was the money he got from selling the shops and gambling dens yesterday, which he had Uncle Xu sell.

They left only a few thousand taels for the Li family's daily expenses and future business capital, and moved the rest in.

[The host currently possesses 220,000 taels of silver. Would you like to recharge it all?]

"yes!"

[Current recharge points: 801580]

The more points he recharged, the more confident he became.

In this extraordinary world where martial arts reign supreme, relying on Princess Yuzhen is far less effective than relying on one's own strength.

Living off a woman is just a temporary measure...

In short, he strengthened his resolve and left the underground vault.

Seeing that there was nothing much to do today, Li Wei decided to start by distilling liquor.

The main reason is that alcohol will also be used as a solvent in the perfume later on.

The servants were sent to buy a large number of steamers and pottery that were needed, and sketches were drawn up to have the remaining utensils custom-made by craftsmen.

Li Wei then began brewing rice wine.

This world has a complete method for making rice wine, with well-developed equipment and yeast.

Li Wei simply found a wine-making master; he didn't need to do it himself.

In the afternoon, Li Wei, who was engrossed in his biological experiments, received a message.

Li Wei's second uncle, Li Anshun, is dead.

Although he disliked his second uncle, he was still a close relative, so Li Wei couldn't just ignore it and rushed to the scene.

Li Anshun's body lay outside the Laifu Inn, surrounded by a crowd of passersby pointing and whispering.

Li Wei saw that all of his second uncle's family members, except for Li Ji, were present.

The constables had arrived at the scene and were talking to the second aunt, who was furious.

Li Ji's wife was also furious, his second uncle's concubine was trembling, and his youngest son Li Lie looked bewildered, with occasional expressions of pain.

As Li Wei walked over, he heard his second aunt complaining to the constable:

"This slut seduced her lover, and my master found out. Then she conspired with her lover to beat my master to death. My eldest son has already gone to chase after that lover, so he's not here."

Li Wei was slightly surprised. Firstly, he hadn't expected that the father and son would cause a death over a concubine. Secondly, his aunt's words were clearly distorting the facts.

There was no adulterer, or rather, the adulterer was her son, Li Jicai.

Seeing Li Wei approach, the expressions of the second uncle's family were somewhat subtle.

I came to the capital to collect Li Wei's gold coins, but I never expected to end up in such an embarrassing situation.

Now that Li Anshun is dead and Li Ji has run away, these people have lost their leader and don't know how to face Li Wei.

"Are you sure it was you and your lover who killed my second uncle?"

Li Wei looked at the concubine and said.

The second aunt immediately became a little nervous, while the cousin's wife looked hateful. Li Lie hesitated to speak.

"Yes, it was my fault for being unfaithful and seducing my lover, which led to my husband's death."

"What is the adulterer's name? What does he look like? What are his distinctive features?" the constable next to him asked professionally.

"I don't know his name, but he was about five feet five inches tall, with a thick beard and sparse hair..." The concubine described him in great detail, as if he really existed.

Li Wei knew that this must be the confession that her second aunt and Li Ji had taught her.

Why is this woman so completely obedient?
