Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Because she was the daughter of a concubine of the Lu family, Lu Pingrong was the most observant. She keenly caught the hint of displeasure that flashed through Shi Zhen’s eyes.

“Husband, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t have the intention to guess your thoughts, nor did I say anything I shouldn’t have after returning to my family. I’ve been prioritizing you for many years and I’m even more loyal to you. I’ve never had any thoughts that I shouldn’t have. I believe you know that.” Shi Zhen, who was originally a bit displeased, looked much better after hearing that.

“I naturally know. My wife, don’t think too much about it.”

Seeing that Shi Zhen really wasn’t dissatisfied with her, Lu Pingrong continued, “1 accidentally heard from my family that Shuangshuang had some conflicts with that genius alchemist. So, I thought that if the Shi family wants to invite that alchemist to refine pills, it’s best to resolve the misunderstanding first.’

Shi Zhen’s expression suddenly changed. “Are you telling the truth?”

The Shi family had already received the news that Lu Zijia could refine the

Mystic Golden Core Pill three days ago. T

Now that Lu Zijia came out of seclusion, the Shi family certainly had to take action.

After all, no one would complain about having too many pills. Besides, it was a Mystic Golden Core Pill that could allow one to become a Golden Core expert, so they couldn’t miss it.

“How would I dare to joke about such an important matter? Even though Shuangshuang and Ningning aren’t my biological children, I’m still their aunt after all. Now that I’m their stepmother, would I slander them? If it weren’t for the Shi family, I wouldn’t have come here specially.”

Lu Pingrong lowered her eyes and said in a quiet voice, “If you don’t believe me, just ask Shuangshuang to come back and check with her.”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, My wife, but this needs to be handled carefully, do you understand?” Shi Zhen said with a hint of comfort.

“I understand.”

Lu Pingrong smiled bitterly and immediately suggested, “If Shuangshuang can’t leave the academy, you can look for Liang Baixiao from the Liang family. Liang Baixiao has always had a good relationship with Shuangshuang. She should know what misunderstanding Shuangshuang had with that alchemist.”

Shi Zhen got up and walked around the desk, then sat down next to Lu Pingrong and said gently, “My wife, you’re so considerate. I’ve troubled you.”

After a pause, Shi Zhen said tentatively, “Will this matter make your family unhappy?

The matter Shi Zhen was talking about was actually the matter of the Shi family hiring alchemists other than the Lu family to refine pills.

The Lu family was an alchemy family. The reason why the Shi family had a marriage alliance with the Lu family was because it was easier to get pills from the Lu family.

All these years, the high-level pills that the Shi family needed were basically obtained from the Lu family.

“Hubby, don’t worry. My family understands.”

After receiving Lu Pingrong’s affirmative answer, Shi Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Lu Pingrong took the opportunity to lean over and a hint of smugness flashed through her eyes.

At the Lu patriarch’s residence.

“They came from Delin Country?”

Lu Yu sat in the study. After hearing the report from the secret guard, a hint of deep thought flashed through his eyes.

“Yes, Patriarch. I’ve already investigated repeatedly. Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan are from Delin Country and they only came to our Hongtian Empire more than two months ago. Apart from the two of them, there’s also a spiritual beast. Apart from that, there’s no one else.”

“Delin Country… Not only did a small Delin Country produce a genius with a single mutated spirit root, but they also nurtured such an alchemy genius. We really can’t underestimate them.”

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and a dark glint flashed through them..
