Chapter 133 Return to Sanity
After Zhu Chengwu arranged everything, the general meeting of the top management of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion came to an end.

The people who attended and sat in attendance left one after another.

Everyone got busy following Zhu Chengwu's arrangements.

Two months is plenty of time given by Zhu Chengwu.

But if they still can't get things done in such ample time, they won't even have any excuses to explain themselves.

By then, Zhu Chengwu's wrath will surely burn towards them and burn them beyond recognition.

After obtaining the Earth Core Fire Lotus and displaying the strength of a martial arts legend, everyone felt that Zhu Chengwu's power was getting stronger, perhaps due to psychological effects.

Especially now that Zhu Chengwu has officially become a master.

In the Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, no one wants to be the first unlucky person to be "burned" by Zhu Chengwu's anger after he becomes a master.

But amidst the hustle and bustle, some undercurrents are slowly surging.

"Sister-in-law, if we want to 'subdue Big Brother', it turns out that you, the sister-in-law, have to step in!"

In the boudoir, Zhu Xiumin walked behind Cui Shuyun, put her head on Cui Shuyun's shoulder, tilted her pretty face slightly, and teased Cui Shuyun.

"Xiu Min, this time I will help you attract your eldest brother's firepower so that you can successfully join the main force and enter Beijing together.

Actually, I don’t even know if it’s correct!
If you encounter danger in the capital, don't blame me!"

Cui Shuyun's face was calm, as if she was not affected by Zhu Xiumin's teasing.

Even though she helped to cooperate and assist Zhu Xiumin in going to Beijing, Cui Shuyun was never sure whether what she did was right or wrong.

Zhu Xiumin’s current demands are met, but how will things develop in the future?

Cui Shuyun is not sure!

"Sister-in-law, it's okay!
What you are worried about is that father will continue to use me as a bargaining chip to restrict big brother.

But now I am no longer in the Ming Palace, but with you. Does father really have the ability to take me away from you and use me to restrict my elder brother?

If my father really had that ability, he would have captured me from Xuzhou City in the past three years!"

Zhu Xiumin seemed to be unconcerned about Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun's worries.

Over the next three years, their relationship became a regular and effective way to relax.

People always have pressure living in this world, let alone living in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion which is at the center of a fast-developing vortex.

Zhu Xiumin and Cui Shuyun are under even greater pressure.

"Xiu Min, stop it!
Your elder brother has now become a master, and he has digested the Earth Core Fire Lotus!
Even if my Yin power cooperates with the formation in this courtyard, I may not be able to detect his spying! "

As he grows older, Cui Zongyan has been giving him guidance from time to time over the past three years.

But the law-abiding life in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion has never been what Cui Shuyun wanted, as she longed for freedom and unrestrainedness.

"worry about what?
Sister-in-law, I have been against it since the very beginning when you set up the formation in the yard.

If you want to watch it, just watch it!
My elder brother has been practicing the virgin skills, which has resulted in your beauty being trapped in this mansion for more than three years without a single chance to blossom."

Zhu Xiumin didn't care about Zhu Chengwu's possible spying.

For some reason, Zhu Xiumin, who had always been rational, calm, dignified and generous, began to have other ideas after accepting Zhu Chengwu's childhood confession and the Queen Zhao Yushan's teaching for nearly ten years.

It's even getting more perverted.

“We are playing with fire!

Xiumin, we all know what we want?
You want the power to control your own destiny, and I want absolute freedom.

All this is inseparable from the support of your big brother!

Xiumin, we should stop now!"

He persuaded Zhu Xiumin in this way.

Cui Shuyun doesn't like Zhu Chengwu, and Zhu Chengwu has nothing to do with Cui Shuyun's ideals.

But Cui Shuyun knew that if she wanted to realize her dream, she must not offend Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Xiumin knew that Zhu Chengwu had been practicing the Boy's Kung Fu hard.

But throughout history, the strongest boy's skill should have reached the master level.

After the virginity is fully developed, the boy's skill can be used to lose one's virginity.

"Xiumin, we've been together for more than three years, stop acting in front of me!!"

Cui Shuyun's words sounded helpless, but at the same time, her words seemed resolute.

After more than three years of indulgence, it’s time to focus!

If you don't calm down, you may never have another chance.

Recently, in addition to Zhu Chengwu, the biggest relative, his father Cui Zongyan and Gao Yao, the chief steward of the Internal Affairs Department, also seem to have discovered the unusual relationship between Cui Shuyun and Zhu Xiumin.

There was a hint of hidden meaning in his eyes and words.

Cui Shuyun was not worried about being discovered by her father and Gao Yao. What she was worried about was that the matter would be exposed and made a big deal, and then she would be further and further away from her dream.

Cui Shuyun had already made plans. When Zhu Chengwu defeated the King of Ming and the Crown Prince and successfully ascended the throne of the King of Ming, she would propose a divorce to Zhu Chengwu.

After reaching the realm of Yin Shen, one can barely gain the self-protection power to travel around the world.

Cui Shuyun believed that the overall situation had been decided by then, and Zhu Chengwu would agree without the need for her to stabilize the hearts of his subordinates and win over the Cui family and his father Cui Zongyan.

Moreover, after ascending the throne of Ming King, Zhu Chengwu could find any woman he wanted!
What's more, there is Zhao Qingya from the Zhao family...

She is not irreplaceable!

Maybe Zhao will help her achieve her goal!
When the divorce is successful, she will go to see the strange mountains and steep cliffs, the thousand-mile grassland, the Dead Sea in the earth, the polar ice fields...

At this last moment, she couldn't let a moment of indulgence ruin her dream.

"Sister-in-law, have you really decided?"

Perhaps feeling the firmness in Cui Shuyun's words, Zhu Xiumin put away her nonchalant tone and her voice became steady.

"Xiu Min, to be honest, even if I didn't say this today, you would have said it!

And after being together for more than three years, we know each other very well!

I can't give up my dream of seeing the world because of anyone, and you can't give up your ideal of controlling the world and thus your own destiny because of anyone!

Your elder brother is about to come to Beijing. Everything has reached a critical moment, a moment that will decide the outcome, and a moment to see whether my dream and your ideal can be realized..."

Cui Shuyun stopped talking here, but after more than three years of close contact, how could Zhu Xiumin not understand the unspoken meaning in Cui Shuyun's words.

"Sister-in-law is so rational, but also so heartless~~"

Zhu Xiumin's grievance seemed to fill the whole room. But immediately, Zhu Xiumin changed the subject.

"But sister-in-law really understands herself and me! Since sister-in-law has made up her mind, Xiumin wishes sister-in-law all her wishes come true, and I also wish Xiumin all her wishes come true!"

After saying this, Zhu Xiumin moved her feet slightly, leaving a long gap between the two bodies that were pressed tightly together.

"Princess Min'an, walk slowly!"

Cui Shuyun turned around and looked at Zhu Xiumin.

The name in his mouth returned to the original one.

Cui Shuyun's way of addressing Zhu Xiumin was like a reincarnation.

"Sister-in-law Shuyun, I won't see you off!"

Zhu Xiumin also returned to the way she addressed Cui Shuyun at the beginning.

The tone was unfamiliar but polite.

Zhu Xiumin turned around, and her long skirt stirred up gusts of breeze.

With the farewell of the breeze, Zhu Xiumin turned and walked out of Cui Shuyun's boudoir, like a female general leaving home to conquer the world.

Cui Shuyun watched Zhu Xiumin leave, and quickly calmed her mind and devoted herself to spiritual practice.

After three years in Fu'an Marquis Mansion, Cui Shuyun finally understood everything!

To be free, you must first have power.

In order to obtain the greatest freedom, Cui Shuyun must have the most power.

While Cui Shuyun and Zhu Xiumin parted ways and worked hard for their own ideals, several places in Xuzhou City were discussing their next responses.

One of the places is Zhao Xinghan’s Zhao Mansion.

"Rong Wei, you are too impulsive. How dare you say such words in front of the Marquis!"

Zhao Xinghan brought Cui Rongwei into the study and dismissed his attendants.

"Uncle Zhao, I have no choice. I have already learned the Divine Skill Manual, but there are so many people in my Cui family, they are all brothers, I have to consider them!"

In front of Zhao Xinghan, Cui Rongwei finally told the truth.

During these three years, because of Zhao Shilin, Cui Rongwei and Zhao Xinghan became closer.

When Cui Rongwei's grandfather, the second elder of the Cui family, was in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, he also agreed with Cui Rongwei's approach to Zhao Xinghan.

If Cui Rongwei wants to get ahead in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, he needs a backer.

Although Cui Shuyun was the principal lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Cui Zongyan, the leader of the second branch of the Cui family, also came to the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion.

But the Second Branch of the Cui Family and the Second Elder of the Cui Family have never been on the same page, especially after the fact that the Second Elder of the Cui Family was the source of the leak of the information about the Earth Core Fire Lotus was exposed.

Although the Second Branch of the Cui Clan, to which Cui Zongyan belongs, is also a beneficiary of the Second Elder's information leak, not only will they not be grateful to the Second Elder, but they will instead stand on the side of Cui Clan patriarch Cui Zongji and be hostile to the Second Elder's faction.

After all, Cui Zongji is not only the patriarch of the Cui family, but also Cui Zongyan’s initial angel round investor, and the one who finally made the decision to determine Cui Shuyun as the candidate for marriage.

The second elder's actions harmed the overall interests of Cui Zongji's first wife and the entire Cui family.

Of course, more importantly, it’s about interests.

Cui Zongyan cannot allow the second elder of the Cui family to be forgiven and recognized for his actions, otherwise, if they follow suit, the morale of the Cui family members will be broken and it will be difficult to lead the Cui family team.

As the boss of the second branch, Cui Zongyan is the vested interest of the entire Cui system.

"Cui clan member? Brother?"

When Zhao Xinghan heard Cui Rongwei's reply, he almost laughed out of anger.

Is she a member of the Cui clan?
The brother of his mother?
Does Cui Rongwei know what he is talking about?
Did he really think that the three groups of Cui clan members who had been sent to the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion for further studies in the past three years really treated him as a brother?
That was simply because they saw that Cui Rongwei had obtained the magical skills manual and held a high position of power in the Marquis of Fu'an's mansion, so they deliberately tried to please him.

Three years ago, wasn't it the same what Cui Rongwei did to Zhao Shilin and to Zhao Xinghan?

Only three years have passed, and Cui Rongwei has completely forgotten his state of mind at that time?
After all, you are still too young!
For some people with weak wills, it is really a curse rather than a blessing for a young man to hold a high position.

"Uncle Zhao, as the saying goes, it takes three to make a hero, brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.

I have no roots in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, and Sister Shuyun doesn't like me!

I can only rely on these brothers!"

Cui Rongwei seemed very aggrieved when he said this, and he seemed to be thinking of the scene when Cui Shuyun suggested removing him from the position of head of the mission department at the general meeting of high-level officials in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Rong Wei! Do you know that sometimes you can't just look at the surface of things?

Sometimes people who seem to be good to you may not really be good to you!
Sometimes what seems to be directed at you, isn’t really directed at you!
Where is your old cleverness?"

Zhao Xinghan became increasingly disappointed when he discovered that Cui Rongwei had not yet responded to Cui Shuyun's protection of his cousin.

Three years have passed, and the current Cui Rongwei is completely different from the Cui Rongwei in the past.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Xinghan and Cui Rongwei had already formed an alliance, and everyone in the marquis's mansion knew that Cui Rongwei had a very good relationship with him, Zhao Xinghan, and was like his nephew, Zhao Xinghan really didn't want to care about Cui Rongwei.

"Uncle Zhao, are you saying that Sister Cui...Shuyun said that at the general meeting to protect me?"

Zhao Xinghan made his words so clear that Cui Rongwei finally reacted.

But Cui Rongwei still couldn't figure out what kind of maintenance this was?

Irony?

Did he say this on purpose so that Marquis Fu'an would personally protect him?
Judging from the final result, perhaps Zhao Xinghan was right!
"Uncle Zhao, do you think I should thank Sister Shuyun for helping me like this?"

Cui Rongwei, who had "reacted", was moved and suddenly said so.

Cui Rongwei saw this opportunity and wanted to get closer to Cui Shuyun.

In the past, no one had expected that Cui Shuyun could hold the position of Marquis Fu'an's wife so steadily and for so long.

Including Cui Rongwei, who is also a member of the Cui family!

Everyone knew that Cui Shuyun and Zhu Chengwu were in a marriage of convenience. After the Earth's Fire Lotus was exposed, everyone guessed that Cui Shuyun's position as the first wife was just one of the prices that Fu'an Hou paid to obtain the Earth's Fire Lotus.

Because of his close relationship with Zhao Xinghan, Cui Rongwei knew one more thing than others, that is, Zhao and Queen Zhao had promoted the marriage between Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu and Zhao's legitimate daughter Zhao Qingya.

Therefore, after getting closer to Zhao Xinghan, Cui Rongwei no longer deliberately managed his relationship with Cui Shuyun.

They just maintain superficial respect and normal sibling relationships.

But who could have imagined that Cui Shuyun would sit on the position of Marquis Fu'an's wife for more than three years.

Although his relationship with Marquis Fu'an has never been close, they can be considered to be respectful to each other.

Three months ago, the wife Cui Shuyun suddenly achieved the Yin Spirit Refining Level.

Showing extremely high talent for spiritual cultivation.

It complements the martial arts legend of Marquis Fu'an.
