Chapter 365

Wei Lu's husband, Pan Chengwu, tossed and turned and really couldn't sleep, always feeling as if thousands of needles were piercing his body.

As a peak Heavenly Abyss Realm expert, this was the first time he had felt so stifled and uncomfortable.

If his wife hadn't returned tonight, everything that should have happened would have happened.

But if he didn't know, he wouldn't be so uncomfortable; he had watched her go, so how could he be happy?

Actually, Pan Chengwu had been hoping just now that Wei Lu would return disappointed, saying the Emperor hadn't chosen her.

Pan Chengwu could then comfort her well.

Things having reached this point, Pan Chengwu felt the room was too stifling and planned to go out for some air.

But just as he reached the pond area, he saw the Wei family's second young master, Wei Yu, who also couldn't sleep.

Wei Yu was the core of the Wei family and naturally hoped that this regicide plan would succeed.

Precisely because of this, he had to set a leading example and contribute the people around him; when others saw him contributing, they naturally couldn't say anything.

There was indeed no other way; he could only do this.

He was afraid the plan would fail, but he was also uncomfortable if it succeeded.

Usually, when seeing Pan Chengwu, Wei Yu would greet him, and Pan Chengwu also thought highly of this rising star of the Wei family.

But this time, when the two met, they didn't say a word, standing straight by the pond, not knowing if they were looking at the moon in the river or the moon in the sky.

Besides them, two other men came here, and their situations were all the same.

And at this moment, a turtle crawled out of the pond, causing the atmosphere at the scene to fall into a subtle feeling.

At noon the next day, the Wei residence female relatives returned one after another.

Pan Chengwu saw his wife Wei Lu and immediately stepped forward to ask, but just as he was about to speak, he choked on his words.

Because he didn't know what to ask.

Was he supposed to ask his wife to describe the specific situation that happened at the Jiang residence last night?

That would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.

So they tacitly didn't mention this matter.

When the other women returned, they also kept silent about this matter.

But what made Pan Chengwu feel strange was, why didn't Wei Manping return?

Wei Lu explained that Wei Manping had a good relationship with the Imperial Consort Jiang Mo, so she stayed at the Jiang residence.

They only went at night, but Wei Manping had to be on call all day.

Pan Chengwu wanted to say something more, but Wei Lu said she was very sleepy and tired and needed to rest.

Pan Chengwu cherished his wife very much, so he didn't disturb her rest and prepared many things to nourish her body, waiting for Wei Lu to wake up and serve them to her.

The Wei Yu next door was more pretentious; to avoid embarrassment, he asked his wife Han Fengxian about the offensive and defensive data from last night.

In order to infer how much longer this dog emperor Li Chen could live.

But when Han Fengxian told him Li Chen's data, Wei Yu fell silent.

His mind was thinking: Is this really something a human can do?

That was a whole night, and with so many women.

Just taking a segment out would be enough to beat Wei Yu.

If he didn't know his wife wouldn't lie, Wei Yu wouldn't believe there was such a powerful man.

Seeing his wife's legs trembling as she walked, Wei Yu comforted her: "You've worked hard, go and rest first."

Wei Lianhan's cultivation foundation was relatively good, but no matter how good it was, she couldn't withstand Li Chen's pressure.

Returning home, she only told Wei Manping's father about the progress and then went back to rest.

In broad daylight, the entire Wei residence was shrouded in a stifling atmosphere.

That night, several Wei residence female relatives went to the Jiang residence again, only they weren't dressed as conservatively as yesterday; it seemed they had dressed up specially.

This time they went, it was still relatively subtle; when Wei Lu, Han Fengxian, and the others left, their movements were still quite slow, with a bit of reluctance to leave, as if the Jiang family was a dragon's den and tiger's lair.

Wei Yu even encouraged his wife to keep it up; this was for the great cause of restoring the nation.

This sentence of his was also the thought in everyone's heart at the scene; they were all holding onto this hope.

Of course, at least for now, that was the case.

At noon on the third day, when Wei Lu, Wei Lianhan, Han Fengxian, and the others were on their way back, they were chatting and laughing, their faces rosy and shy, as if they had had a very happy time last night.

They were all comrades who had fought together, so their relationship naturally became better and better.

But when they got near the Wei residence, they still had to pretend, showing a feeling of being forced and helpless.

The Wei residence men, like Wei Yu and Pan Chengwu, could only force out ugly smiles to comfort their wives.

From their mental state, it could be seen that they hadn't slept well these past few days.

As men, no one wanted to appear weaker than other men, so everyone was holding on hard.

After the Wei residence female relatives went back to rest, Pan Chengwu began to communicate formally with Wei Yu and several others.

"With the degree of Li Chen's absurdity, I estimate he'll die in another three to five days; we must be prepared to respond."

"It's not that exaggerated; this dog emperor Li Chen is in the Sage Realm, so at most it will take twenty-something days, or over a month."

"This damn dog thing, I wish I could chop him up with one blade."

"Don't be impulsive; everyone is paying a price, it's not just you who is uncomfortable; just endure it and it will pass, this is also for our future."

These men were huddling together for warmth, comforting one another.

Seeing that everyone was so miserable, no one continued to say anything.

Even the hot-tempered Pan Chengwu was only capable of impotent rage.

That night, when the Jiang residence female relatives went out, they weren't as resistant as yesterday, but they were also embarrassed to walk too fast.

At noon on the fourth day, today's weather was relatively gloomy, but what was even more stifling than the weather were those Wei residence men.

"Strange, it's already noon, why haven't they returned yet?"

Pan Chengwu loved his wife dearly and was very worried about her safety.

If she were discovered, he would risk his life to save his wife.

He did indeed have the thought of risking his life, but whether he could save her was another matter.

"Should we go over and scout?"

Wei Yu's face was also filled with worry; that was his newly married young wife, whom he usually couldn't bear to treat roughly.

His suggestion soon resonated with some of the men present.

"Everyone, no need to panic; Ping'er just sent someone to say that today they still need to accompany Imperial Consort Jiang to practice sword dancing, so they will return a bit later."

At this moment, a man of about fifty, with a slightly plump figure, appeared.

He was the father of Wei Manying and Wei Manping, Wei Mingde.

Wei Mingde's handsomeness from his youth could still be vaguely seen between his brows, but now his eye bags were slightly drooping, and a habitual fawning smile hung at the corners of his mouth, making him appear quite slick and worldly.

His hair was combed meticulously, and he wore a luxurious cloud-patterned brocade robe with a "Family Head Order" hanging at his waist, yet it always made people feel that this outfit was incompatible with him, like a child stealing a long-elder's court robe, unable to support that dignity.

Wei Mingde had been indecisive since childhood; even for something as small as the family purchasing spiritual medicine, he would first ask: "What does Ying'er say?"

On the surface, he held the posture of a family head, but in reality, even collateral descendants dared to disobey him.

Whenever something major happened, he would always wipe his sweat first.

Everyone in the Wei family knew that the actual power was held by Wei Manying, and Wei Mingde, as a father, relied entirely on his daughter's support.

When encountering any matter, unless his daughter told him what to do, otherwise, this guy would just endure if he could, and yield if he could.

Not to mention Wei Yu, who was a backbone of the Wei family, even Pan Chengwu looked down on Wei Mingde.

Just at this moment, the Wei residence female relatives finally returned.

However, this time, they had some more jewelry on them, and the smiles on their faces could hardly be suppressed.

The careless husbands didn't seem to notice and were still comforting their wives.

They returned according to the old rules, going straight back to their rooms to rest and recover their strength so they could properly complete the mission.

At nightfall, Wei Lianhan had just woken up and walked to the door, intending to eat a meal before going out to complete today's mission, when she heard a sarcastic voice from beside her.

"Sister Lu, you've woken up really early; are you in such a hurry to go to the Jiang residence~"
