Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Lu Yuan rushed into the Lu Mansion with a grin on his face, shouting, "Mom, where are you?"

"Master, you're back! The old lady is in the east wing." A maid in the front yard bowed and said.

Lu Yuan walked quickly, nodded, and responded: "Okay, I got it, let's get busy."

"Okay, sir."

Su Liyan got out of the car and saw her brother walking into the mansion impatiently, so she arranged for the servants to park the car at the door aside.

Su Liyan knew that her brother had gone to find their mother. She was the one who told others that there was a treasure at home.

For things like this, my mother will inevitably say something like "You are favoring your husband's family and forgetting your mother after you get married."

So, Su Liyan simply went back to her room to take care of her daughter, leaving her brother and mother-in-law to talk on their own.

Su Liyan's mother, who was taking a nap in the room, heard her brother-in-law calling her, rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Lu Yuan pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and said, "Mom, my uncle is here to see you."

Lu Yuan was so excited and anxious that he forgot to knock on the door.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
My son-in-law treats me very well on weekdays, but not to this extent. We are all family, so it can't be said that he is too much.

Su Liyan's mother stood up and was about to get out of bed to greet him. She put on her slippers with her bare white feet and said, "My son-in-law is back. Where did you take your people last night?"

Lu Yuan took his wife and a group of close associates and palace guards to Xiang Island overnight to support Gu Gaoxu. He left in a hurry without saying goodbye to anyone.

With Su Liyan's perception, the transfers in the mansion naturally did not escape her eyes.

Lu Yuan walked aside, sat beside the bed, looked at his sleepy mother-in-law, and took the initiative to massage her shoulders.

In this way, Su Liniang put her feet back into the quilt, sat up upright, and didn't have to get out of bed.

Su Liyan sighed, "I'm getting older and I'm starting to get sleepy. If I don't take a nap, I'll be tired for the whole afternoon."

Lu Yuan rubbed his mother-in-law's shoulders through her pink pajamas with big red flowers, coaxing her: "Mom, what are you talking about? How old are you, how can you talk about this?"

Lu Yuan didn't know how old his mother-in-law was. He only knew that she was probably around 40 years old, maybe 38 or 39.

My fortieth birthday hasn’t even arrived yet.

Although she is older than Aunt Zhao and Aunt Song, her skin is also firm, smooth and resilient.

The fact that my mother-in-law can maintain such a delicate and wealthy appearance is related to the longevity and beauty pills that Lu Yuan had previously refined.

Whenever Lu Yuan has time, he would refine some pills every now and then and distribute them to his mother, his wife, Xiaoqian and others. While improving his own pill refining skills, he can also give the pills to people around him. Why not do it?

Lu Yuan was indeed an old hand at going to SPA frequently in his previous life. He would work overtime to clean his balls from time to time. As a person with an engineering background, he would often go there to relieve his worries as soon as he got his salary.

In this life, Lu Yuan has so many women that it is difficult for ordinary women to catch his eye.

Lu Yuan massaged his mother-in-law's shoulders with just the right strength. His hands made her close her eyes slightly, feeling very comfortable and a little sleepy.

Seeing that the son-in-law was slow to speak, Su Liyan's mother slowly said, "Son-in-law, you have been in the room for a while. What do you want from me?"

Lu Yuan stopped what he was doing, took out two inner pills from his arms, and presented them to his mother-in-law.

Su Liyan opened her eyes, took a look, and said, "Sir, where did this come from?"

Lu Yuan picked out the key points of what happened last night and told them everything truthfully.

Su Liyan's mother understood that her brother-in-law was going to use the inner elixir to refine pills. The probability of refining a top-grade earth-level pill would be greatly increased, and the efficacy would be stronger.

In comparison, the longevity elixirs and beauty-enhancing elixirs among human-grade elixirs pale in comparison.

Su Liyan was not stingy and said, "I do have some of these inner pills at home. Just by refining and swallowing one inner pill, my cultivation can be improved by a hundred years."

What Su Liyan said was true. This inner elixir was the inner elixir of Daxingzi who had practiced Taoism for thousands of years. It contained thousands of years of Taoism. If one could refine and swallow one, one could absorb one or two tenths of it.

In addition to Su Liyan's extraordinary talents, when her daughter was able to return to her ancestral home, her mother stuffed a refined inner elixir into her mouth and made her swallow it.

After swallowing the inner elixir, Su Liyan not only instantly possessed powerful cultivation, but also laid a solid foundation for future cultivation.

This is also why Su Liyan is so terrifyingly powerful at the age of 20. Especially after reverting to her ancestral form, her strength has increased exponentially. Even Lu Yuan cannot figure out her combat power now.

After reverting to her ancestral state, Su Liyan's temper became worse and her strength became stronger. She was like some women who were gentle and lovely on weekdays, but once they got angry, they were harder to control than a pig during the Chinese New Year.

Su Liyan turned to look at her uncle and said, "Uncle, do you really have a way to maximize the use of those inner pills?"

Lu Yuan answered very seriously: "Mom, to be honest, I am not completely sure yet. I happen to have two pills in my hand that I can use to practice. Once successfully taken, it can absorb at least 50% of the inner elixir's cultivation."

Su Liyan nodded and said, "In that case, as a mother, I won't be stingy. I can go back to Changliu Village in the next few days to retrieve those inner pills."

According to the method of refining inner elixir passed down by Su Liyan's mother, a person can take one in his lifetime to improve his cultivation. There is only one box left, gathering dust in her hometown.

"Thank you, mother. When I succeed in refining it, I will give it to you first." Lu Yuan said happily.

"Oh, by the way, mother, this time when I return to Taining City, I plan to build an entertainment street. I have already chosen the location, which is the Drum Tower Street in the west of the city. I will buy the shops on both sides of the street and then start the renovation to form a commercial street. Then mother will be the shopkeeper of this street."

Lu Yuan told Su Liyan about the plans he had in mind over the past few days in a very eloquent manner.

Su Liyan's mother was originally an honest farmer. She followed her husband and would never do such things! Seeing that her son-in-law was enjoying his talk, she did not interrupt him.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Su Liyan's mother expressed her doubts, and Lu Yuan explained: "Mom, don't worry, Aunt Song will help you take care of it."

In the Prince Lu's mansion, the sick Prince Lu heard a servant report: "All the defenders of Xiangdao disappeared overnight, and even his own son is missing."

Prince Lu covered his mouth with a handkerchief in his right hand, coughed violently a few times, and said in a dead voice: "Explore again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Prince Lu was gentle and a little weak. Before his servant left, he asked, "Pass my order! Draw troops from the coastal defense camp and garrison Xiangdao. We cannot lose an inch of our territory!"

"As ordered!"

Prince Lu staggered to the desk, opened a blank book, ground some ink, picked up the brush and began to write.

Gu Zhaolian was only the sixth son of Prince Lu, and a concubine's son. The main purpose of this memorial was to report the incident of Japan sending people to attack Elephant Island to the court for the emperor to decide.

Such a huge Elephant Island cannot be lost in the hands of a prince like him!

Gu Gaoxu walked in with arrogance into Prince Yan's mansion. When several palace guards saw Gu Gaoxu, they rushed over without saying a word.

Two or three palace guards rushed forward and pinned Gu Gaoxu to the ground in a pyramid posture.

Gu Gaoxu clenched his right fist, pounded it on the ground, and shouted, "Let me go! You don't even recognize me?" The nearest guard said, "Master, when the prince comes, we will let you go."

Gu Gaoxu would not lie on the ground so cowardly. He roared angrily, with endless strength in his body, and lifted up several people and sent them flying.

Several guards bumped into the walls or tree trunks and cried out in pain.

Hearing the voice, Prince of Yan Gu Di appeared in front of Gu Gaoxu with an angry look on his face, and the princess followed Gu Di out.

The King of Yan rebuked him: "How dare you!"

Gu Gaoxu said aggrievedly: "Dad, as soon as I walked in, these servants wanted to arrest me."

"It's my order!" Prince Yan interrupted Gu Gaoxu's speech.

Gu Gaoxu immediately retorted, "Dad, I am not your biological son anymore. How can a son be tied up as soon as he enters the house? What is going on?"

The princess pulled the Prince of Yan's hand, looked at Gu Gaoxu and said, "Xu'er, stop talking!"

King Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Get him!"

Gu Gaoxu relied on his martial arts and posed. The palace guards surrounded him, but no one dared to step forward.

Gu Gaoxu explained: "Dad, we led the troops to defend the empire's territory this time, why are you punishing us instead of rewarding us?"

As soon as the generals led by Gu Gaoxu returned to the military camp, they were captured by other soldiers in the camp and escorted to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Before Gu Gaoxu returned home, Prince Yan had already learned the whole story from the captured generals.

The King of Yan said, "What crime should you be punished for causing the soldiers to lose their lives? You led the soldiers out of the barracks without my order. Do you want to rebel? Not only you are guilty, but also those generals."

Every word spoken by Prince Yan Gu Di was serious and full of majesty.

The princess quickly advised: "Master, Xu'er has also made contributions."

"What are you doing here, a woman? I am talking to him about state affairs, don't interrupt! The emperor has decreed that the harem should not interfere in government affairs, so don't bother yourself. Come, take the madam away!" The Prince of Yan showed no mercy to the princess and rebuked her in front of everyone.

The two maids took small steps forward and bowed, saying, "Yes!"

When the princess saw this, she left helplessly, shouting "Master, Master".

Gu Gaoxu stretched his neck, raised his head and retorted: "Don't take it out on my mother. We each have our own faults. If you want to punish me, punish me. I accept it!"

Gu Gaoxu has been following his father into battle since he was a child. The military rules are well known. Taking troops out of the camp without permission is a capital crime!
This time, Gu Gaoxu was indignant and felt wronged, but he didn't want to implicate others, so he had to admit defeat!
The King of Yan said angrily, "Good! He is a real man. Come! Drag him away and commit the same crime as those three generals!"

Gu Gaoxu's momentum was reduced a bit, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Old man, are you serious?

Okay, okay, what's that 'The prince is ill, you should encourage him', that's all bullshit!

Now that Brother Lu has cured the boss's illness, we are no longer important!"

Gu Gaoxu was disheartened and hung his head as he was carried out by two palace guards. They dragged him outside the gate and put him on a long bench.

Gu Gaoxu lay on the bench, gripping the top of the bench with both hands, feeling extremely unwilling to accept the result. It was so damn unlucky that he had to be beaten in front of the mansion gate before he died!

Two palace guards held wooden boards and took turns hitting Gu Gaoxu, but he didn't feel any pain, probably because he had practiced "Zhenwu".

Outside the Prince of Yan's mansion, the common people were watching and chattering, "Usually they fight inside the mansion, why are they dragged out today?"

"Who knows? Maybe this time the trouble is even bigger!"

"Oh, if anyone has a child like this, it would be terrible!"

"Isn't that right~"

The common people were commenting unscrupulously, but this only happened in front of Prince Yan's mansion. If they were commenting like this in front of the mansions of rich and powerful people elsewhere, they would be driven away at best, or even dragged over and beaten with a stick.

After Gu Gaoxu received 150 strokes of the board, two palace guards slowly helped him up and said, "Master, are you okay?"

Gu Gaoxu is physically strong. With his current physical fitness, he can easily do another 150 strokes, let alone 150.

If it were an ordinary person, he would surely die within a hundred hits!

Gu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "I didn't see you guys showing mercy, did you?"

The palace guard glanced inside the palace and said in an embarrassed voice: "This is the order of the prince, we dare not disobey!"

Gu Gaoxu didn't care and said, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?" the guard asked in confusion.

"The vegetable market!" Gu Gaoxu deliberately raised his voice, hoping that someone would hear it and if no one came out to stop it, his son would really lose his head.

The palace guard explained: "Master, you misunderstood. The prince meant to beat him with a stick!"

Gu Gaoxu asked, "Are those three generals guilty of the same crime as me?"

The palace guard nodded and said, "Yes, Master, each of them was given fifty lashes!"

"Fifty?" Gu Gaoxu stretched out five fingers, then put them down. "It seems like we are guilty of the same crime!"

What Gu Gaoxu felt more sorry for at this moment was the dead general and three hundred brothers. He did not deserve to be beaten with one hundred and fifty sticks.

Later, Gu Gaoxu tied up Gu Zhaolian, the sixth son of Prince of Lu, and brought him before Prince of Yan, handing him over to him for disposal.

Prince of Yan Gu Di could not make the decision on his own, so he had to order Gu Zhaolian to be imprisoned and write a memorial to the emperor.

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang looked at the memorials submitted by the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Lu, laughed a few times, and said: "One lost his son, the other imprisoned someone else's son; one said he was fighting the enemy, the other said he surrendered to the enemy. It's quite interesting."

The emperor looked up at Mao Xiang, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and asked, "What do you think of this?"

Mao Xiang paused, not knowing how to start.

The emperor said impatiently: "Am I so terrible? Just speak frankly!"

Mao Xiang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, according to the report from the Royal Guards, it was the second son of Prince Yan, Gu Gaoxu, who led the soldiers to kill the Japanese and arrested 20 to 30 Japanese pirates. The sixth son of Prince Lu, Gu Zhaolian, is a certain suspect."

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang was delighted and praised: "Oh, this kid has some skills!"

The emperor pointed at the table and said to the old eunuch beside him, "Draft an order to have Gu Zhaolian and his gang escorted by Yan Wang's second son Gu Gaoxu to the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Office for joint investigation!"
