"What do you want?" Zheng Qingqing's eyes darted around. "Where's your son? You were pregnant when you left, weren't you? He's five years old now, isn't he?"

"How did you know it was a son?" Was it a rebirth? A premonition? And then you married a middle-aged man?

"Never mind how I know, I just know. After all, he's the lord's bloodline, it's better to send him back to be raised. Ah, sister, since you're back, let's cancel the wedding banquet today." Nothing is more important than her son's life. Once she gets the bastard child born to Wu Yuan back, she'll use his flesh and blood to heal her son, and then kill Wu Yuan. She's incredibly stupid.

Hao Qianyu's eyes lit up with anticipation; Wu Yuan was truly growing more and more beautiful.

Zheng Qingqing forced herself to hold back, using the flesh and blood of Wu Yuan's son to save her own son. Her son's illness was congenital, and even the divine doctor Wenren could only delay the onset of the disease. However, another doctor gave her a prescription that used the flesh and blood of her closest siblings as a catalyst. Hao Qianyu's first wife's children were all grown up, so she dared not and could not do it.

Wu Yuan's son is the only antidote. In that chaotic dream, Wu Yuan clearly gave birth to a son, but in the dream, Wu Yuan is the beloved lady of Fuhe Manor, and her son is the young master. Zheng Qingqing's son is just a sickly illegitimate son who can only wait to die.

"Your prediction failed; I didn't have a child."

"impossible!!!"

"I've been traveling the world for so many years, and I'm not without a name. Many people saw me five or six years ago," Wu Yuan stated the facts.

Shen Chushi couldn't help but speak up. He knew about the disappearance of Madam Fuhe Manor, and the time he met her overlapped with that: "I've seen her. She wasn't pregnant."

Wenren Ming turned and glanced at him, but said nothing.

Hao Qianyu believed it was important to maintain the overall situation: "Now that Yuan'er is back, the position of Madam is still yours. Qingqing, you can be a secondary wife."

"Hahaha, Hao Qianyu, do you like it when someone cheats on you?" Wu Yuan let out a villainous laugh.

"What do you mean?"

"I was forced to marry a weak, middle-aged man, and I had to bear the stigma of driving away my first wife. In the end, I was bullied by a woman of unknown origin. How could I possibly remain chaste for you? Pure-hearted young heroes, handsome gentlemen, Gu clan youths, and so on—aren't they all better than you?"

Hao Qianyu's face flushed red, and she reached for her knife, but since it was her wedding day, there were no weapons on her wedding dress.

"Don't be hasty, Master Hao. Are you sure Zheng Qingqing's son is your flesh and blood? Back then, on the beam in the woodshed where I was imprisoned, I witnessed her engaging in a live sex act with my own eyes." Wu Yuan turned her gaze to Zheng Qingqing: "I'm very curious about you. How could a young woman like you like an old man? That old man back then had completely white hair and beard, and was even older than Hao Qianyu. Did he have such a heavy taste?"

Hao Qianyu suddenly found a connection with one of his retainers who died under suspicious circumstances a few years ago. It seemed very much like he died from a Gu poison, but Zheng Qingqing advised him not to investigate, and the matter was left unresolved.

Zheng Qingqing remained calm, knowing there was no way to prove anything.

"Madam, I did nothing wrong. You can't convict me based on your words alone, can you?" Zheng Qingqing began to address her as Madam.

"I'm not here to confront you, I'm here for revenge. You ruined my wonderful life and killed my family. Today, it's a fight to the death." Wu Yuan already knew that the original owner's father and brothers were dead. Regardless of whether it was the work of those two scoundrels from Fuhe Manor, she would stick to them.

Her goal was simply to ruin their reputations and then kill them.

"Madam, why don't we bring the young master back first and then discuss this further?" Zheng Qingqing didn't believe that she didn't have a child. Everything else in her dream matched up, so Wu Yuan must have given birth to a child, but it was just hidden away.

After saying what she needed to say, Wu Yuan leaped forward and attacked Hao Qianyu first. They fought for dozens of rounds, but neither of them gained an advantage. However, Wu Yuan knew that she could only hold her own against him if he was unarmed.

However, she wasn't here to compete in martial arts today. Wu Yuan made a move, turning around at an odd angle and thrusting at Zheng Qingqing.

Zheng Qingqing's physical constitution and talent were both lacking. She had some martial arts skills, but not many. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to such a son. Her son's physical and mental problems were much more serious than hers.

She couldn't dodge Wu Yuan's attack. Hao Qianyu struck out with a palm from behind, but Wu Yuan neither dodged nor avoided it, taking the blow head-on with her back. The knife in one hand flew out of her hand, but the knife in the other hand went straight for Zheng Qingqing's head.

Pfft! Wu Yuan coughed up blood.

"Qingqing!" Hao Qianyu exclaimed in surprise.

"Master, the knife." It was the voice of a servant from the manor.

Wu Yuan didn't even bother to recover her breath; she turned around and started fighting Hao Qianyu in a reckless, death-defying style.

Her internal strength and swordsmanship were novel, and her reckless attacks were so powerful that even a seasoned veteran like Hao Qianyu was finding it difficult to withstand.

He was somewhat dissatisfied. He, Hao Qianyu, had been traveling the world for many years, and now not a single person had offered him a helping hand, just because someone said it was a family matter.

As soon as Wu Yuan started making her move, Wenren Ming spoke up: "It's their family matter, shouldn't we outsiders interfere?"

Shen Chushi gritted his teeth and echoed, "That's right, that's right, Lady Wu has it tough too."

Although Shen Chushi's master was puzzled as to why his disciple suddenly spoke up, this was his beloved disciple, so he naturally sided with him.

Besides, it really was a family matter, a family matter with a touch of risqué.

With two influential figures in the martial arts world having decided on their sides, it was no longer appropriate for others to offer assistance.

Wu Yuan was naturally well-prepared. She knew she was no match for Hao Qianyu and had originally intended to test him.

But after the matter of the Gu worms was revealed, she changed her mind.

With a flick of the hand without the knife, a delicate little cylinder appeared. With the press of a mechanism, more than a dozen silver needles shot out one after another.

Hao Qianyu dodged a few flying needles by sidestepping, but he didn't expect there to be more coming. No matter how fast he dodged, a few still grazed his skin. The wounds weren't deep, but they were enough.

Wu Yuan's eyes relaxed, and her movements slowed down a bit.

However, Hao Qianyu's steps became unsteady.

Wu Yuan: Is it working this fast? That shouldn't be the case.

Hao Qianyu angrily retorted, "Who dared to plot against me? You wretch, where is your lover?"

He believed that the Gu clan man was hiding in the shadows.

"Heh, which one are you talking about?" A splatter of blood appeared on Wu Yuan's forehead. Her hair was slightly disheveled from the fight, but her cold smile was breathtakingly beautiful.

Hao Qianyu was already quite enamored with her face, and his eyes burned with desire: "Men, attack together and capture this slut. There will be a hefty reward."

The people in the martial arts world were halted by Wenren Ming and Shen Chushi's words, but the retainers and servants of Fuhe Manor did not move because Hao Qianyu had not given the order.
