"I'm sorry, Ming'an Yu has no discipline and failed to discipline his children properly, making you all laugh at me." After Gu Ming'an brought Zhu Yulan out of the yard, Gu Qingyang took a deep breath and said with a face full of shame.
"Alas, we have heard a little about the character of your second daughter-in-law, but we didn't expect her to act so recklessly." The two heads of the Tang family looked at Gu Qingyang with sympathy.
"Master of the family, although Yulan has been a bit naughty, it has not been easy to manage the household chores over the years. Why don't you give her a chance to repent?" Lin Xiu advised.
"Let's wait and see, we'll talk about it when she has some brains." Gu Qingyang said noncommittally. What happened just now really made him angry.
I originally wanted to slap someone else in the face, but ended up being slapped in the face by my own family first. It is such a misfortune for my family to have such a daughter-in-law.
"By the way, has the accommodation for the chief priest been arranged?" Gu Qingyang asked Lin Xiu.
"You've agreed to live at my place. My yard happens to be empty, but I haven't had time to clean it yet." Lin Xiu replied.
"Haven't the best guest rooms been prepared?" Gu Qingyang said unhappily.
"Yulan said..." Lin Xiu stopped talking after a few words. Zhu Yulan had just angered the head of the family. If she told him about what happened before, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire? If someone didn't know better, they might think she was taking the opportunity to take revenge.
"It's her again, it's her again. Ming An should have divorced her just now." Gu Qingyang was indeed provoked again and said angrily.
"Master, it hasn't been easy for Yulan these years." Lin Xiu carefully pleaded for Yulan.
"Forget it, let's spare her this time. You can arrange it later. Ask for the best guest room. We can't let these adults down." Gu Qingyang said.
To be honest, although Zhu Yulan was snobbish, she still knew what was important. If he hadn't ignored family affairs and focused on the Fengnie Pill for all these years, she wouldn't have become like this. So he also had some responsibility, so he didn't want to kill her with one blow.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Even without the Patriarch's reminder, Lin Xiu knew what to do. Mu Hanyan was the Gu family's great benefactor. If anyone neglected her, wouldn't that put them at odds with the Patriarch and the entire Gu family?
Besides, she still has the five-colored soul bead on her body. Although her husband is gone and she has no qualifications for cultivation, she still has a son who is practicing and gaining experience in a temple in another place. She is still waiting to give her son an unexpected surprise.
"Also, prepare a table of wine and food to welcome the chief priest and Yuhe later." Gu Qingyang gave another instruction.
"What about the other guests?" Lin Xiu asked.
"Are there any other guests?" Gu Qingyang asked.
Lin Xiu shook her head. In order to overcome the difficulties, Gu Qingyang took the opportunity of this sacrificial ceremony to invite many old friends from other temple main cities to come and visit. This was also the reason why Lin Xiu and Zhu Yulan were waiting at the door. However, except for the two heads of the Tang and Feng families who were present, and the three heads of the Xie and other families who were expelled from the Gu family, no one else came. This also made her see the warmth and coldness of family relationships.
"Master Chief Priest, I don't know how to thank you for your help this time. Please accept this." Gu Qingyang said as he took out an exquisite sheepskin scroll and handed it to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan took it and opened it. It was covered with densely written small characters. It turned out to be the recipe and refining method of Feng Nirvana Pill.
"Master Gu, this..." Mu Hanyan was stunned for a moment. She wanted to refuse, but when she thought about relying on the Fengnie Pill to extend Ye Yian's life, she couldn't say the words of refusal.
"Master Chief Priest, please don't refuse. This is the only thing I can offer you. If you don't even accept this small token of your appreciation, then you are looking down on me." Gu Qingyang glanced at Mu Hanyan, obviously not wanting too many people to know the contents of the scroll.
"Then I'd rather obey than submit. Thank you very much." Mu Hanyan thought for a while and put away the scroll.
The Phoenix Nirvana Pill is the foundation of the Gu family's existence, and Gu Qingyang actually gave it to her like this. Mu Hanyan admired the old patriarch's magnanimity even more.
Lin Xiu went to arrange the accommodation and the banquet. Mu Hanyan and others accompanied the head of the Gu family to drink tea and chat, waiting for the food to be served. Mu Hanyan didn't want to make things difficult, but when she saw Ling Baobao touching her belly and swallowing her saliva from time to time, she didn't dare to speak.
"What did I do wrong? Why did the old man treat me like this? It hasn't been easy for me these years. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I have worked hard..." After returning to her own yard, Zhu Yulan finally came to her senses and muttered miserably.
"Shut up! You still have the nerve to talk? Look at what this is." Gu Mingan glared at him fiercely and took out the relic soul bead.
After all, they have been married for many years. He doesn't want to divorce her just like that, but he also doesn't want her to continue talking nonsense.
"That damn girl, she gave away a few broken glass beads to the whole family. Does she think we are all fools?" Zhu Yulan suddenly became angry again.
"You..." Gu Ming'an was defeated by his wife. He pointed at her, feeling both angry and amused. He didn't know what to say. He had seen people with poor eyesight, but never one as bad as this. How blind must one be to say such a thing?
"This is called a relic soul bead. It's not an ordinary relic soul bead, but a five-colored soul bead. One is worth a million. Take a closer look. Is it the glass bead you mentioned?" Gu Mingan said with a sneer, resisting the urge to slap her again.
"Five-colored Soul Orb, is this really a Five-colored Soul Orb? Was it given to me by that dead girl?" Although Zhu Yulan's eyesight was a little poor, her ears were not deaf. She had also heard about the origin of the Five-colored Soul Orb and was stunned.
"Did I lie to you? Are you, the father of the family and the two heads of the Tang and Feng families, blind, and unable to distinguish between the five-colored soul beads and glass beads? Also, be polite to Yuhe in the future. She doesn't treat us as outsiders, otherwise how could she give us such a good treasure." Gu Mingan reminded.
"Where did she get the five-colored soul bead?" Zhu Yulan looked at the five-colored soul bead in Gu Mingan's hand with shining eyes and asked in confusion.
"It was accumulated by successive high priests of the Huayu Temple." Gu Mingan replied.
"So that's how it is." Zhu Yulan suddenly realized something and suddenly thought of something else. She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh my, this is terrible, this is terrible!"
"What's wrong again?" Gu Mingan asked.
"Yuhe originally gave me one, but I thought it was a glass bead and threw it back to her. Why didn't she explain it to me clearly? She is deliberately trying to trick me. I'm so angry, so angry." Zhu Yulan said with a sad face, beating her chest and stamping her feet, regretting it so much that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
