Chapter 113: The Concubine Thirteen Years Ago
Tao Zi rushed back, only to learn that Mr. Huang had left Ye Shuang Town half an hour ago, and Mrs. Huang was in her room.
She walked towards the courtyard.
By then, Mrs. Huang was lying on a lounge chair by the bridge, basking in the sun comfortably.
"Mrs. Huang."
Madam Huang smiled and nodded at her, saying, "The sun in the evening is always particularly comfortable. Would you like to bask in it, Immortal Tao?"
Tao Zi nodded, and the maids brought another recliner.
Madam Huang turned to look at her and smiled gently, "Excuse me, where did Immortal Tao go before?"
"I went to the teahouse and listened to stories."
Her smile deepened, and she narrowed her eyes as if reminiscing about the past. "I once had a good friend who once said that brothels and teahouses are the places with the most third-rate gossip. Although most of the news is false, if you go there when you have nothing to do, you will always find something unexpected."
"Yeah?"
She said, "Yes, she also said that if you want to spread false information, these places are excellent choices."
Tao Zi smiled and then asked, "How is she now?"
"He died tragically. Even his body hasn't been found." She sighed, "I was thinking of taking a chance and collecting the body."
"I'm so sorry for asking about your sad story."
Madam Huang shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just feel a little sorry for her."
"Um?"
"Once, my husband and I were robbed. She saved my life and the master's life. But in the end, she had to be so secretive when collecting the bodies that she didn't even receive them."
Tao Zi added, "My condolences."
Madam Huang looked at her and said, "Aren't you going to ask me why I can only do this secretly?"
"It's a private matter, don't ask too much."
She waved her hand, looking at the sunset in the distance, and said, "This person is dying, and he wants to say a few more words, and he doesn't care whether it is a private matter. She is notorious and has a bad reputation. The Huang family dare not and cannot have anything to do with her. But no matter what, she is our savior."
Tao Zi smiled and said a few words of comfort.
Madam Huang looked at her and finally sighed: "To be honest, I'm afraid you might say something that offends the immortals, but you look a bit like her."
“There are too many people who look alike in this world.”
Mrs. Huang sighed again, and Tao Zi turned to talk about what had just happened.
She frowned, called the housekeeper, and gave instructions. Then she stood up and said with a smile, "Immortal, I won't disturb you anymore. I will go back and rest first."
Tao Zi nodded.
"Why don't you recognize her?"
The inner demon suddenly emerged: "It seems that she still has feelings for you."
Tao Zi walked back into the house and thought to herself, "Why do we need to recognize each other? Some feelings can still exist even if I'm dead, but it's hard to say if I'm still alive, not to mention that Master Huang is here."
The inner demon thought about it and nodded, "That's right. Even the junior brothers and sisters whom I raised can be like that, let alone others. It's normal for you to not trust them."
She slowly looked out the window into the distance. Why would Mrs. Huang trust her? Just based on a relationship from decades ago? She had no evidence to prove her innocence.
What's more, there are other people around her, and she can't gamble Yue Shan and the others' lives on Madam Huang's trust.
"But if that's the case, why did you suggest coming here?"
Tao Zi replied absentmindedly, "I thought of my friend being here, so I came to see how she was doing. And for some reason, when I saw Ye Shuang Town on the map, I couldn't help but want to come here. Do you know why?"
The inner demon said confidently: "How should I know? I am your inner demon. I don't know anything that you don't know."
"Too."
The inner demon hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have a feeling she recognized you."
Tao Zi's expression remained unchanged as she thought to herself, "She's a smart person. She knows she's just an ordinary person. As long as I don't acknowledge her, she won't get involved in these matters. After all, ordinary people shouldn't interfere in the affairs of immortal cultivators."
"To outsiders, you are an alien and anyone can kill you."
"I am also her savior. Given her personality, if she doesn't know the truth, she will just remain silent."
The inner demon sighed and said, "Tell me about your friends, from Yue Qingya to Madam Huang. Which one of them isn't better than those ungrateful bastards? Why would you risk your life for them?"
"Blind eyes and blind mind."
It is speechless.
As the sun set, the inner demon suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid that she'll impulsively express her suspicions?"
Tao Zi laughed and said, "I never owe her anything. If she does me wrong, I have no choice but to take action in order to save my life and serve as a warning."
The inner demon tutted again and muttered, "You haven't done anything wrong to those ungrateful people. Why don't you have this awareness towards them?"
She frowned. "Are you crazy today? You keep bringing up the topic with them."
"I just thought you seemed to have forgotten about revenge, so I wanted to remind you. See, how kind I am."
Tao Zi asked curiously, "I seem to have said that grudges should be balanced."
"But you've also thought about the fact that if you get the chance, you'll definitely seek revenge. After all, it wasn't those three ungrateful bastards who did you a favor."
“There’s no chance now.”
The inner demon became excited: "Become a demon, as long as you become a demon, the opportunity will come."
Tao Zi immediately ignored it, and it disappeared again, thinking it had nothing to do.
She went out to see if the two bastards had been caught.
As he left, the inner demon's teasing voice resounded, "You're so calm now when you talk about those three. How could it be that Yue Qiran, known for his viciousness, is so forgiving and generous that he even lets go of the people who framed him?"
She frowned, a flash of doubt passing through her mind, but she didn't think much about it, just thinking it was a means for her inner demon to stimulate her.
When they arrived at the lobby, the storyteller was already kneeling there, shouting, "You are committing lynching. The mayor and the Mingyue clan will not let you go if they find out."
Madam Huang sat at the head of the table and asked calmly, "Do you think the Mingyue Clan would care about the affairs of a mortal like you?"
He held his head high and said proudly, "My photo is in the name of the Mingyuemen Guanshitang!"
The housekeeper sarcastically said, "Our lady's photo is still in the name of the Jiuzhuan Sect."
The storyteller was speechless, but still showed no fear.
Until Li Xiu beside him said with a smile: "I am a cultivator, so it should be no problem for me to attack a mortal."
His face turned pale and he looked at Li Xiu in disbelief.
Li Xiu smiled and took out a fan from her storage bag. She opened it and shook it, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that woman is the concubine from thirteen years ago, right?"
He looked at the fan that appeared out of nowhere and was completely desperate.
With the immortal cultivators around, even if the Huang family killed him, they could just find a reason to get away with it.
Who told mortals to always bow down before immortal cultivators?
