Demon King's Wife

Chapter 482 Returning to the Magic City
When Mu Ruoxin returned to the magic city, it caused a huge commotion. Everyone couldn't believe this fact, and ran out to see it. They didn't believe it until they saw it with their own eyes, and then cheered and shouted.

"The lady is back, the lady is back, the lady is really back."

"Madam is back, so the Lord will be back too."

"Most definitely."

But they didn't get excited for long, and when they learned that Yan Liheng hadn't come back, they all showed disappointment.But they are happy enough that Madam can come back.

The three elders heard the report from the people below that Mu Ruoxin had returned. At first they thought it was a dream, but later they realized that it was not a dream, everything was real.

The person who disappeared for five or six years finally came back.

Mu Wenqing and his wife hurried over when they got the news, and only after seeing their daughter did they really believe that all this was true. The two old people were so happy that they shed tears.

"Ruoxin, is it really you?" Mu Wenqing still couldn't believe it, and asked excitedly.

"Ruoxin, you're back, you're really back. I thought I'd never see you again in this life! It's good to be back, it's good to be back... Not only are you back, you're also pregnant with a child, that's great... It's really great." Mrs. Mu was even more excited than Mu Wenqing, tears kept flowing, but she kept laughing, anyone could see that she was too happy at this moment.

"Father, mother, it's really me. I'm back! I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound. Come, let me introduce a few people to you." Mu Ruoxin walked to Mu Changliu and Mo Ying, and first said They introduced, "Father, mother-in-law, these two are my adoptive father and mother in Nanyao Kingdom. Father, mother, this is my biological father, Mu Changliu. And this is my mother-in-law, who is Ah Heng's biological mother, Mo Ying."

"What, you found your biological father?" Mrs. Mu's mood is a bit complicated now, happy and sad.

She has long regarded Mu Ruoxin as her own daughter, and even thought it was her own daughter, but now that her daughter's biological father has returned, it means that this daughter no longer belongs to them.

"Ruoxin, is he really your biological father?" Mu Wenqing was also shocked by this and couldn't accept it for a while, but he didn't make it too obvious.In any case, it is a good thing that the daughter found her biological father, and he should be happy for his daughter.

"That's right! He is my father, my biological father." Mu Ruoxin's keen observation ability has long seen the sadness of Mu Wenqing and his wife, so he held their hands tightly in front of everyone. , and said sincerely to them: "No matter what happens, no matter who is around me, your position in my heart will never change, you will always be my father and mother, and I will treat you as my biological parents look at."

"Ruoxin, my good daughter." Mrs. Mu was even more moved, and hugged Mu Ruoxin tightly, feeling extremely miserable.

Mu Wenqing was also very moved, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes so that no one could see them.But on this occasion, their every move was watched by others, how could no one see it?

Mu Changliu had heard Mu Ruoxin say about Mu Wenqing and his wife a long time ago, and he knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he was only grateful to them, "Master Mu, you don't have to be too sad, we will be a family from now on, even if Ruoxin finds me My dear father, but she will not leave us either. From now on, we will all live here."

"Really, really?" Mrs. Mu couldn't believe such a good thing, she was sure.

"Really. I will live here in the future, please take care of me."

"Definitely." Mu Wenqing replied, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the daughter will not leave them, or they will really die of grief.

At this time, the three elders came. Although they were very happy to see Mu Ruoxin, they hoped to see Yan Liheng more, but after seeing everyone, there was no sign of Yan Liheng, and asked anxiously: " Ruoxin, where is the young master? Why didn't you go with you?"

"This..." Just when Mu Ruoxin was about to answer, Mo Ying suddenly stepped forward and said excitedly: "It's great that you are all still alive. Although I am a little old, I am still very energetic. Seeing you, I am so happy." Really happy."

"You are... Mrs. Mo Ying."

"It's really Mrs. Moying."

"Mrs. Mo Ying, I didn't expect you to be alive. This is really..."

When the three elders saw Mo Ying, they were overjoyed. They were very anxious just now, but now they smiled happily, and an indescribable joy echoed in their hearts.

They all thought that Mrs. Mo Ying was dead, but they didn't expect that she was still alive, they really didn't expect it!
"It was he who saved me, and with Ruoxin and Mr. Mu's superb medical skills, I can live to this day. God has treated me kindly. Not only did I see my two sons, but I also met you. I am so happy... ..." Mo Ying also cried out with joy, the joy in his heart was beyond words.

At the beginning, the three brothers risked their lives to protect her two sons. She was extremely grateful to the three brothers.

Thank goodness they're all fine.

"Actually, it was the young master who saved us. If it wasn't for the young master... hey..."

"That's right! If the young master hadn't accepted the deal between Ming Dao and Yin Mo in a hurry, we wouldn't be able to escape from the Xuanling Realm at all."

"But fortunately, the young master finally defeated Ming Dao and Yin Demon, and was not controlled by them. This is all thanks to the madam. If it weren't for the madam's great help, the young master is afraid... By the way, the young master is too! Why didn't you come back with you? And the second son, what about Heiying and the others?"

After the three elders were happy, they thought of Yan Liheng again, and were anxious to know his whereabouts.

"Heng'er got separated from us, but he should return to Magic City soon and reunite with us."

"It turns out that we just got separated, that's good, that's good! The young master has a golden dragon, no matter how far he travels, he can come back in less than a day, we just wait for him."

"Yes, we can rest assured and wait for him to come back." Mo Ying said this, but he was actually very worried in his heart, and he was just deceiving himself and others.

What else can she do besides deceiving herself now?Was she to keep talking about unfortunate conjectures?
After finishing the old story, Mu Ruoxin went to Moying Building to have a look, and brought other people along, especially Moying, and asked her to take a look at this place.

When Mo Ying saw the house her son built specially for her, she was so moved that she cried for a long time.

Mu Ruoxin knew that Mo Ying was happy, so she didn't need to comfort her, she found a seat and sat down, intending to clarify the matter.

"Three elders, who are you going to tell me what's going on in Muyan City outside the Demon City? You clearly know that the Qian family is bullying others outside under the banner of the Demon City, why don't you come forward to deal with it? I know that the Demon City has taken over the Qian family. There are quite a few benefits, but I don't understand, when did the magic city run out of money? With your current abilities, is it still a problem to get some money?"

The three elders had long expected that Mu Ruoxin would ask these questions, so they didn't hide anything about it, and answered truthfully.

"Things are not as simple as they appear."

"That's right, this matter is a bit complicated. Because the king of Nanyao Kingdom is stupid and lawless, many people in Nanyao Kingdom are homeless, and many children become orphans. Bachelor Mu couldn't bear to see those people displaced, so So we brought some people who were related to him to the vicinity of the magic city and let them settle outside. At first there were only a few people, but later the number continued to increase. After discussion, we simply built a small city outside and managed it well, so that Everyone live and work in peace and contentment."

"It sounds good, but in my opinion, those people outside are not like refugees at all. Most of them are people from the world, and there are many children from rich families. What's going on?" Mu Ruoxin continued to ask.If it was really a refugee, she would have accepted it, but it wasn't.

She doesn't want to cover those rotten people outside, can the banner of the magic city be used casually?

"Hey...it's a bit of a long story."

"Then make a long story short, and speak slowly."

"Muyan City was indeed only inhabited by refugees at the beginning, but for some reason, people outside knew of the existence of Muyan City and came here one after another. There is a magic city here, and no one dares to mess around. Many ordinary people in Nanyao Kingdom I heard that a lot of people moved here, even people from the rivers and lakes squeezed in. People are coming, we can't drive them away. But at this moment, floods occurred in many places in Nanyao Kingdom However, the imperial court did nothing at all. Many people starved to death, and the disaster area was full of corpses. But at this time, the imperial court even wanted to increase taxes, making people's livelihood difficult. Scholar Mu had no choice. It just so happened that the Qian family wanted to To please the Demon City, they sent real money and food. These food can save a lot of people. For the sake of the victims, the Wood Scholar accepted things from the Qian family, but we have reminded the Qian family not to rely on demons. The name of the city is doing evil outside."

"The people of the Qian family use the name of the Demon City to do evil outside, why don't you care? I believe that as long as you come forward, the Qian family will not be so arrogant at all."

"Actually, the Qian family was quite safe at the beginning. They used the name of the Demon City to do business well outside. They didn't do anything harmful. They gave a lot of money to the Demon City every year. We used this part of the money to go to the Relief victims. But then, everything changed."

"It has changed, what has it become?"

"There are more people pouring into Muyan City, and there are more conflicts between people. At first, it was just a trivial matter, but it slowly developed into a bloody major event. Some people in the world, if they can't see If you are used to someone, you will commit murder with your face masked at night. This kind of thing often happens, and it is difficult for us to find out who did it. .”

"What's wrong?"

"We are not members of the imperial court, nor are we of any sect. It is not our duty to arrest these murderers. Why do we do it? However, because we do not intervene in these matters, murders occur frequently in Muyan City, and finally scare those who really Most of the ordinary people had to move to other places to survive. Most of the people staying in Muyan City are not ordinary people. Fortunately, they are still afraid of the Demon City, and they dare not commit crimes in broad daylight, so they have to behave themselves."

"Indeed, it is not an easy task to manage a city well." Mu Ruoxin could understand the helplessness of the three elders.

At the beginning, I just wanted to help those homeless disaster victims, but who would have thought that it would become like this?Are they supposed to drive out those who enter the city?
Mu Yancheng is different from the Demon City, there is no enchantment outside, people inside can come and go freely, it is difficult to restrict.What's more, everyone in the rivers and lakes has certain skills, and it is much easier to enter the city.

Such a city has actually deteriorated.

"Not only is it not easy, it is as difficult as reaching heaven. Even without the integration of those outsiders, the lives of ordinary people are still a mess. Every day, they quarrel and quarrel over trivial matters. We don't like to care about the outside world. I don't have much energy to take care of things, and I can't take care of them, so I have to leave them alone."

"It's not bad that we can give them a place to settle down and live. How can we have the responsibility to take care of the trivial matters in their lives? If they don't know how to get along with others, they must make such a mess, that's okay. They had to be left to fend for themselves.”

"When I talk about this, I get angry. Those people are arguing and arguing, and seeing that the people from our magic city don't come forward to deal with it, they even blame us for having no sympathy and no sense of responsibility. It's really angry."

The more the three elders talked, the angrier they became, and all of them looked aggrieved. They were supposed to speak well, but now they complained, and they didn't listen.

"You said they quarreled, so why blame us?"

"That's right. So, we decided to leave them alone and let them fend for themselves. As a result, because of our neglect, more and more people from outside, whether they are from the Jianghu or doing business, all regard this place as an important base for development. My own power, over time, has become what it is today."

"We let the Qian family do whatever they want in Muyan City, in the hope of forcing these people away. But the ordinary people were forced away, and people from the world who are difficult to deal with came. We still don't know how to deal with those people outside! "

After hearing the complaints from the three elders, Mu Ruoxin roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, but if it was herself, she didn't know how to deal with it.

It is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, and ordinary people's life is trivial, which is really difficult to deal with.Those three aunts and six wives quarrel all day long. The public says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says the old woman is right. If they are not handled properly, the conflict between the two parties will be even greater.Besides, their magic city is not an imperial court, so there is no need to worry about the trivial matters of the common people, right?
Those ordinary people are also really, it’s good to have a place to live in such a difficult situation, and they are still in a noisy mood?Such a person deserves no sympathy.

"So, you are all clear about the behavior of the Qian family outside. But in this way, wouldn't the reputation of the Demon City be tarnished by the Qian family?"

"Ma'am, when did Demon City care about reputation?" the Great Elder asked back.

This rhetorical question made Mu Ruoxin suddenly realize.yes!Since when has Mocheng cared about reputation?The reputation of the magic city was even worse back then!People outside were so frightened that their legs went limp when they heard about Demon City, which shows how bad its reputation is.

Since you don't care about your reputation, why should you care about the right and wrong outside?
"Being away for a few years, I almost forgot the principles of the Demon City. But the good life of the Qian family is up to today, and from now on, the Qian family will no longer have any relationship with the Demon City. Please release this news, Let everyone out there know."

"Yanfeng has already explained to us about Qian Youcai's confrontation with you. It's fine if the Qian family doesn't offend the Demon City, or harm the interests of the Demon City, otherwise we will definitely not make him feel better. Please rest assured, madam, I've already sent someone to do it."

"That's good. How many real refugees are there in Muyan City?" Mu Ruoxin had been paying attention to Mu Wenqing's expression all the time. When the three elders complained about the common people outside, Mu Wenqing's expression was extremely ugly.In order to take Mu Wenqing's feelings into consideration, Mu Ruoxin had no choice but to focus on the refugees. After all, these refugees were brought back by Mu Wenqing himself, so they can't really ignore them.

Mu Wenqing's heart was actually very complicated. She blamed herself for bringing so much trouble to the magic city, but she couldn't bear to see those ordinary people homeless.

He used to be a great scholar of Nanyao Country, and a court official who served the country and the people. Even if he is no longer, he still thinks about the people of Nanyao Country in his heart.It's a pity that the monarch is fatuous and ruthless, and it's hard for the people to live a good life. He just tried his best, but he never expected that the result would be like this.

Now that the big trouble he created cannot be solved, he blames himself for being helpless, and he doesn't have any right to speak, so let others deal with it.

"There must be some, but there are not many. In fact, the wood scholar did not bring back many refugees back then, less than 200 people. In the past few years, some people have died of illness, and there are more than a hundred people left. Among the more than a hundred people , some have moved away, some have gone to seek refuge with their relatives, and only those who really have nowhere to go stay. There are about 50 people, all of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. We have taken care of these people in private , so their lives are not a big problem. As for those who moved to Muyan City by themselves, we don’t care about them. They don’t care about their life and death, and let them fend for themselves. These people, those real refugees, we have an account of."

"That's how it is. Those 50 people are still taking care of them. As for the others, you can ignore them. Starting tomorrow, a notice will be posted at the gate of the city. From today, anyone who is not from Muyan City will not be allowed to enter the city for more than three days." If it exceeds three days, it will be calculated as one hundred taels of gold per day. If you don’t pay the money for one day, you will get out immediately. Dad, you are responsible for counting the people in the city now, and make a detailed record for them, so that they can be used for reference.” Mu Ruoxin managed Muyan City with the management method of Banyue City, but now she only made a rough plan, and she will make more detailed plans later, but she has to go back and think about it.

To manage a city is not something that can be done casually.

Now that Muyan City has been established, she will develop the city into a place where she can make money.As for those who dare to behave wildly on her territory, she will not let them go easily.

The three elders didn't quite understand what Mu Ruoxin was going to do, but they still followed what she said.

The same goes for Mu Wenqing, she is actually very grateful to Mu Ruoxin in her heart.Fortunately, Ruoxin didn't drive those real refugees away, otherwise he really... This daughter is actually very caring.

Mu Ruoxin actually thought of a lot of things, but he didn't say a little bit, and he didn't bother to say it. Some people might not understand some things.And she doesn't have that time now, let alone that thought.

Ah Heng doesn't know what's going on?Where does she have the mind to care about other people? If she has this mind, she might as well find a way to find her husband!
But she believed that Ah Heng would return safely.

"Ruoxin, I..." Seeing that Mu Ruoxin had finished speaking, Mo Ying wanted to say something to her, but stopped talking.

"Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell me, don't be polite to me."

"I want to live in this Moying Building, I don't know..."

"This Moying Building was originally built for you! You were not here before, so we lived there temporarily. Now that you are back, of course it is for you to live in."

"But I live, so where do you live?"

"The magic city is so big, you can live anywhere!"

"But……"

"Grandmother, just put it down and stay here, don't worry about me. Even if there is no place for me to live in the magic city, I still have a mood! Stay here, I'll let someone clean up and change some furniture later, and you can live Get more comfortable."

"Ruoxin, thank you so much!" Mo Ying really didn't know how to thank Mu Ruoxin, and felt happy that his son could find such a good wife.

But where is her son now?
