Chapter 609: The Sixth Wife Appears
"Mmmm." Fang Tiancheng nodded and turned to the two.
"Two nephews, let me see the pills."
Hearing that, Jiang Yue removed a pill bottle from his storage ring; handed it to the housekeeper, and Li Chen gave it to the city lord.
After receiving the pill bottle, Fang Tiancheng opened it, and a fragrance wafted.
’It’s the smell of newly refined pills.’ He thought, tilted the bottle, and two pills fell onto his palm.
"Mid-grade pills." He nodded and continued to examine the soul-cleansing pills.
He first smelled them.
Examined their colour and then scraped a little powder which he put on his tongue.
"There is nothing wrong with the pills." He said.
"Grandpa, should we wait a little longer? Maybe the poison is slow-acting." One of the grandchildren said.
"There is no need to wait." A female voice suddenly echoed in the hall.
When everyone turned to look, they saw a heroic woman walk into the room.
From her appearance, the woman looked to be in her thirties.
However, her cultivation was in the mid-stage of the nascent soul realm and her blood energy was surging.
’A body refining nascent soul realm cultivator. She should be the famous sixth mistress.’ Jiang Yue observed.
"Sixth mistress." The housekeeper bowed, and the woman nodded.
"Father-in-law, my child has been poisoned for several months and can’t wait for much longer. Since the pills are fine, let XiaoYe take them right away." Li Ruoqing said.
"Sister Ruoqing, you can’t be so reckless." Li Wushuang suddenly said.
Li Wushuang was Fang Zongming’s first wife.
In addition, she was the eldest lady of Talisman City.
Because of this, she had always had the absolute say among Fang Zongming’s women.
Unfortunately, things changed when Fang Zongming married Li Ruoqing.
Although Li Ruoqing was the daughter of a maid, her cultivation talent was exceptional.
With her cultivation level, Li Wushuang couldn’t order her around.
Most importantly, Li Ruoqing gave birth to Fang Ye.
Since then, the humble Li Ruoqing became an equal wife.
When Li Wushuang thought of that, her face turned gloomy, and her hands clenched into fists.
"Eldest sister is right." Qiao Mu started.
"Father-in-law has just tested the pills. We should wait to see if there are any adverse effects."
When she heard this, Li Ruoqing sneered.
’Do these bitches think I don’t know what they are thinking?’ She thought.
If Li Ruoqing had a choice, she would also wait a while.
However, XioaYe was in a bad way.
If something happened to the pills or the child was attacked while they waited, XiaoYe may really not make it.
’Unfortunately, Xiaoye has a useless father. If Fang Zongming was a little useful, how could things turn out like this?’ Li Ruoqing gritted her teeth and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
However, she soon regained her composure and looked at the city lord.
"Father-in-law, Xiaoye is my only child, and I would never harm him. Let’s not delay his treatment." Li Ruoqing said.
Hearing this, Fang Tiancheng sighed and nodded.
"Take the pills and give them to the child." He said.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Li Ruoqing bowed.
After that, Fang Tiancheng looked at Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen.
"Two nephews Jiang and Yu, I invite you to stay in my city lord’s residence for a few days. Allow us to properly thank you."
When he heard this, Jiang Yue chuckled in amusement.
However, they had long expected this outcome.
"In that case, we will happily accept the city lord’s generosity."
"Mmmmh." Fang Tiancheng nodded and turned to the housekeeper.
"Li Chen, arrange a courtyard for the two nephews."
"Yes, city lord."
Following that, Fang Tiancheng waved his hand and asked everyone to leave the main hall.
"Young Master Yu, Young Master Jiang, please follow me to a guest courtyard." Li Chen said with a pleasant expression.
"Thank you, housekeeper Li." Jiang Yue said, pulling his lover to follow the housekeeper.
As the three walked away, dozens of eyes drilled into their backs.
However, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue pretended not to notice.
Instead, they took the chance to chat with the housekeeper.
"How is the eighth young master?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Your pills are just in time. Thank you very much." The housekeeper expressed his genuine gratitude.
"Your eighth young master is a blessed child. It’s his good fate that led us here."
Soon after, the housekeeper settled the two in a guest courtyard.
After he left, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue sat in the yard to drink wine and chat.
"Everyone is so restless. They are jumping around like ants in a frying pan." Jiang Yue chuckled.
"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded.
At their cultivation level, their spiritual sense was enough to monitor the entire Alchemy city, let alone the city lord’s residence.
Since they arrived at the residence, they had been carefully monitoring everything.
After all, it wouldn’t do if the culprit suddenly became desperate and killed Fang Ye.
"Who do you think will take action?" Yu Nianzhen suddenly asked.
"Definitely one of the women." Jiang Yue said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You also think so?"
As the two were speculating, Li Wushuang returned to her courtyard.
"Mother..." Her daughter called, but Li Wushuang waved her hand in dismissal.
"Not now." She said and entered her study.
"Li Si." She called.
Instantaneously, a female cultivator appeared in the room.
The female cultivator was dressed in black, and her face was covered in a mask.
"Master." Li Si bowed.
"Did you see those two?"
"I saw them." Li Si nodded and continued without waiting for her master to ask.
"They have used a method to hide their cultivation level. I can’t tell their realm."
"I expected as much." Li Wushuang sneered.
"Find out everything about them."
"Yes, master." Li Si said and disappeared from the study.
When she was alone, Li Wushuang sat down with a thoughtful expression.
As the first wife of the eldest son, her children had the most legitimate right to inherit Alchemy City.
Originally, she planned to deal with Fang Ye.
However, someone did it first, and Li Wushuang decided to sit back and watch a good show.
Unexpectedly, two bastards suddenly appeared to destroy the play she was happily enjoying.
’I won’t let you go.’ She thought, her eyes narrowed into slits.
