Following this incident, the police investigated all the members of the boy bands and arrested a large number of people involved in illegal and criminal activities.
Seeing their idol's image crumble, fans collectively broke down in their defenses, sparking a wave of condemnation online.
The industry underwent a major purge, and various entertainment agencies raised their standards for the character of their artists. As a result, the boy groups that emerged afterward were of significantly higher quality than those before.
With the matter resolved, Lu Qing thought he could finally get some rest, but as soon as he got home, he heard his master's wife scolding him.
"Yu Hengzi, are you asking for a beating again? What business is it of yours where I go!"
Feng Yuan's voice was loud, and Lu Qing heard it right at the front door.
Yu Hengzi was slapped several times across the face and left without even a chance to explain before the door slammed shut.
Lu Qing sighed and asked:
"Master, why did you make Master's wife angry again?"
Yu Hengzi squatted down by the door with a wronged expression and sighed heavily:
"Qingqing, I feel like your master's wife doesn't love me anymore. Her heart has been stolen by those young vixens!"
Lu Qing felt a headache coming on; she decided to go find Gu Xicheng instead.
Just as Lu Qing was about to leave, Yu Hengzi quickly grabbed her:
"Qingqing, where are you going? Aren't you going to help me persuade your master's wife?!"
Lu Qing thought about it and agreed:
"Alright! Master, I'll try to persuade her again, but I can't guarantee that your wife will listen to me!"
Yu Hengzi nodded repeatedly.
Lu Qing knocked on the door and called out, "Master's wife, I'm back!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's voice, Feng Yuan quickly opened the door and pulled her in.
Yu Hengzi was about to follow them in, but was scared away by a look from Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan pulled Lu Qing along and said with a smile:
"I heard from Xiao Gu that you've been busy with a big case these past few days. You must be exhausted!"
"It's alright." Lu Qing smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up for Yu Hengzi:
"Master's wife, didn't you forgive Master? Why are you angry again?"
Feng Yuan chuckled and deliberately raised her voice:
"I had forgiven him at first, but now I don't want to anymore. Your master doesn't really know he was wrong; he just wants me to go back and do his laundry, cook for him, and be his maid!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing opened her mouth as if to say something, but did not utter a word.
From the time she could remember, all the affairs of the Taoist temple, big and small, were handled by her master's wife. From the guests who came to offer incense to the disciples' socks, her master never had to worry about these things.
The master's wife did not have any children of her own, but she treated the disciples that her master had taken in as her own children and took good care of them.
It can be said that the entire life that Master's wife lived after being with Master consisted of only the three words 'Yu Hengzi'.
Lu Qing felt that his master, just as his mistress had said, did not know he was wrong, but only wanted his mistress to go back and take care of him. However, his master had not truly realized what his mistress wanted at this moment.
"Master's wife, do you still have Master in your heart?" Lu Qing suddenly asked seriously.
Feng Yuan smiled and whispered:
"To be honest... yes! Of course he is!"
"When you're young, you're captivated at first sight; it's not something you can simply stop liking."
Feng Yuan let out a soft breath, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
"I was only eighteen years old that year. I went down the mountain to gain experience. While catching a zombie, I accidentally encountered danger and almost lost my life. At the critical moment, your master appeared and saved me."
You don't know, your master wasn't as slovenly as he is now when he was young. He was quite handsome, unlike any other Xuanmen disciple I've ever seen.
At first sight, I knew he was the one. For him, I asked my father to break off the betrothal I had arranged since childhood, and followed him without hesitation. More than thirty years have passed like this.
But right after we went down the mountain after our last argument, I suddenly wondered, is this the only way I'm going to live my life?
Why should I always be the one revolving around him? Why can't he be the one revolving around me?
So I don't forgive him, and I don't want to go back. I just want to see him hovering around me, to let me have my moment too.
Upon hearing these words, Lu Qing understood.
Yu Hengzi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, also understood.
After Lu Qing went out of the house, he saw Yu Hengzi sitting on the grass, deep in thought.
"Master, do you understand what Master's wife means?"
Yu Hengzi nodded slightly and sighed:
“I’m sorry to your teacher’s wife. Over the years, I’ve gotten used to her sacrifices and forgotten to give back. I’ve taken her kindness for granted and thought that no matter what, she would never leave me.”
"Since she wants me to revolve around her, then I'll revolve around her!"
Yu Hengzi stood up, looking at Lu Qing somewhat embarrassed:
"We're the ones who've bothered your parents here, it's really embarrassing!"
Lu Qing chuckled: "Master, you're overthinking it. Just stay here as long as you like."
“Your father, mother and brothers all treat you and your teacher’s wife as family. Since you are family, there’s no need to be embarrassed. Just tell the housekeeper what you want.”
Yu Hengzi: "And what about you? Aren't you staying at home?"
Just then, Gu Xicheng called. Lu Qing waved her phone and laughed:
“I have my own little home now, but I will still come back to stay when I have time. I hope that when I come back I will not see you being kicked out by your teacher’s wife again.”
After saying that, Lu Qing answered Gu Xicheng's call.
Are you free tonight? There's a dinner party, and I need to bring a female companion.
Lu Qing's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "If you beg me, I'll go with you."
"Okay! My dear wife, I beg you to come with me, otherwise I'll be all alone!" Gu Xicheng said in a doting tone.
"Since you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly agree!"
As Lu Qing spoke, she skipped and hopped away, clearly in a very good mood.
Gu Xicheng left work early today, took Lu Qing out for a bite to eat, and then started picking out a dress.
This wasn't Lu Qing's first time attending a banquet, but she still wasn't used to the evening gown and high heels, which made her feel very inconvenient.
Gu Xicheng specially chose a dress that would be easy for her to move in, and also chose flat shoes for her.
After changing, Lu Qing looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she was only up to Gu Xicheng's shoulder. She pouted and then put on five-centimeter high heels.
Gu Xicheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Didn't you dislike high heels? Why are you wearing them again?"
Lu Qing glared at him angrily: "Who told you to be so tall? If I didn't wear high heels, you probably wouldn't even be able to see me."
"Nonsense! Even if you turned into Thumbelina, I could still find you without fail!" Gu Xicheng said with a smile.
“Then I have to wear it too!” Lu Qing raised her lips.
After putting on high heels, Lu Qing grew much taller, barely reaching Gu Xicheng's chin.
The height difference looks much more comfortable than before, but it's a shame it hurts my feet.
“My parents are both quite tall, and my brothers are tall too, so I don’t know why I was born so short,” Lu Qing muttered.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng suddenly blurted out:
"It could be a gene mutation!"
Lu Qing's face darkened, and she clenched her fist: "Gu Xicheng, you're asking for it!"
