Cui Mingzhu sneered: "There are no clothes of mine in here, why should I wash them?"

“Cui Ruyu, you have quite the nerve. I am the legal wife. If it weren’t for me, your older sister, you wouldn’t even be considered a concubine.”

"If you want to wash these clothes, then wash them yourself; if not, just leave them there."

"Sister, you've gone too far." Cui Ruyu squeezed out a few tears, turned around and walked towards her mother-in-law's room. She had a hundred ways to manipulate Cui Mingzhu.

When she arrived at her mother-in-law's room, she pretended to cry and complain. Cui Mingzhu's mother-in-law had long harbored resentment towards Cui Mingzhu, this lazy good-for-nothing, for causing the death of her eldest grandson.

He stormed off to confront Cui Mingzhu, only to find that the water in the courtyard had already frozen over in the cold winter.

Cui Ruyu followed behind, intending to gloat and watch Cui Mingzhu get beaten, but unexpectedly, her mother-in-law stepped on an ice skate.

He fell headfirst to the ground.

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong?" Cui Ruyu immediately panicked. At this moment, Cui Mingzhu came out of the room and saw this scene.

She immediately rushed outside to call for the neighbors to summon a doctor, and then revealed that it was her spoiled younger sister who caused her mother-in-law to fall.

Cui Mingzhu's husband was named Zhang Sheng, and he was about to become an official because of his status as a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations).

Otherwise, even if Cui Mingzhu killed his own child, he would still divorce her.

When only the elderly Zhang's mother remained in the room, Cui Mingzhu suppressed her worry and took out a bottle of poison from her bosom that could permanently paralyze someone's lower body.

Every member of the Zhang family was an accomplice in the death of her son; they all deserved to die, but letting them die so easily was too easy.

Doesn't this old geezer like Cui Ruyu because he thinks she's filial?

Cui Mingzhu's eyes turned ruthless. She wanted to see how Cui Ruyu would treat her, since she, as her so-called mother-in-law, was of no help to Cui Ruyu.

Li Muge, hiding in the room, watched Cui Mingzhu poison Zhang's mother. He curled his lip, thinking, "This woman isn't ruthless enough."

If it were her, she probably would have more than just this kind of poison that causes hemiplegia.

The Zhang family, especially Cui Mingzhu's husband, are particularly despicable.

While exploiting the remaining value of Cui Mingzhu, they used the money Cui Mingzhu earned to support her younger sister.

This is a double trampling on both the body and the soul.

Tudan climbed onto Li Muge's shoulder, and was about to make a sound when Li Muge quickly covered his mouth.

Li Muge carried Tudan out of the room, and the shadowy figures lingering around disappeared as soon as they saw Li Muge.

"Father!" Tu Dan, who had been feeling bored, suddenly brightened up. His dragon horns shone like searchlights, and he darted out with a "whoosh."

"You idiot, get back here right now!" Li Muge hurriedly cast a spell to chase after him. Only now did she realize that it would be impossible to take care of a fragile human child.

Even raising a thick-skinned dragon child is no easy task.

Mo Yan also sensed the demonic aura in Sifang Town, which is why he came to investigate.

Suddenly, a dark shadow attacked and slapped Mo Yan across the face.

With a stern face, Mo Yan captured the unidentified creature.

Tudan said shyly, "Daddy, Tudan misses you so much."

Mo Yan narrowed his eyes. A monster, and one that was clearly mentally unstable and talking nonsense.

Tudan wanted to say a few more words to its father. It had been missing its father a lot these past few days. It opened its paws, asking for a cuddle.

But Mo Yan casually stuffed it into the Demon-Catching Compass.

Li Muge sighed, looking at the country bumpkin from a distance. He thought to himself, "This country bumpkin doesn't look human at all. Mo Yan is a demon hunter."

This is not a clear indication of Mo Yan's contribution.

Besides, after Mo Yan takes the potion of forgetfulness, he will forget everything related to her, so how could he possibly remember Tu Dan?

But it's also her fault; she didn't take good care of the child.

"Sigh!" Li Muge felt that rescuing Tu Dan was extremely difficult.

I pondered for a long time.

Li Muge finally came up with a good idea.

Put a burlap sack over Mo Yan's head, beat him up, and then rescue Tu Dan.

Li Muge is a man of action, and Xiao Shaoyao was assigned this important task.

"No, no, no, I can't fight. Uncle Banyan Tree said that a good monster shouldn't be fighting all the time."

Little Peony strongly resisted Li Muge's plan.

"Besides, I can't beat Young Master Mo Yan either," Little Peony said honestly. Although she had hundreds of years of cultivation, her magical power was weak.

Mo Yan is the number one ranked cultivator in the Immortal Alliance.

"What are you afraid of? You know Mo Yan has lost most of his cultivation, he's easy to beat." Li Muge saw that Xiao Shaoyao still didn't dare to put the sack over Mo Yan.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Little Peony, you are a flower fairy, your magic power is not lacking, you must not have broken through your own limit."

"Trust me. Sometimes you never know how strong you are until you push yourself. Besides, I will definitely help you from the shadows. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Little Peony pondered for a moment: "In that case, Mu Ge, why don't you go yourself? You can definitely beat Mo Yan. Why do you want me to go and save Tu Dan? What if I fail to beat Young Master Mo Yan and he attacks me instead?"

"It hurts so much to be hit, I don't want to." Little Peony pouted and seemed to stop in the alley, hugging her legs, looking pitiful.

Li Muge coughed a few times, feeling a little guilty: "Well, I did give him a potion to forget love, so to avoid trouble, it's best not to see him."

"No, Mu Ge, you're bullying me. I don't want to hit anyone, and I don't want to be hit either."

The more Xiao Shaoyao talked, the more wronged she felt, and Li Muge rubbed her forehead.

"Alright, fine. Since you, as his aunt, are unwilling to save Tudan, then let Tudan turn into water in Mo Yan's Demon-Catching Compass."

"Alas, poor Tudan, he has been given such a father and such a peony aunt."

"What? It can turn into water too?" Little Peony squatted on the ground, hugging her legs, remembering Tu Dan's pitiful face.

Having made up her mind, Little Peony stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and cheered herself on: "No, Mu Ge, I've figured it out. For Tu Dan's sake, I must push myself."

"Alright, Little Peony, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Now, pick up your sack and let's go." Li Muge conjured up a sack and handed it to Little Peony.

Li Muge and Xiao Shaoyao blocked Mo Yan's path when he took the Demon-Catching Compass to the outskirts.

Little Peony suddenly appeared, put a sack over his head, and struck him a few times with her magic. Mo Yan struggled to get up, but immediately collapsed and fell unconscious.

"I didn't know I was so amazing." Little Peony was overjoyed. It seemed that Mu Ge was right. Sometimes you don't know how amazing you are until you push yourself.

Little Peony was about to pick up the compass that had fallen to the ground.

Li Muge felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss. Mo Yan had lost most of his cultivation to save her, but he couldn't possibly be that weak.

"Oh no, Little Peony, don't..." Li Muge quickly sent a telepathic message to stop her.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Little Peony had just picked up the Demon-Catching Compass when, in terror, her entire body was sucked in.
