Chapter 111, Whetstone
In the delivery room, Hua Changxi looked at Hua Wuniang, who had fainted and was breathing weakly. She understood what the He family meant by saving the child, and her disgust for the He family reached its peak.
When she examined Hua Wuniang's body and discovered that she had been given a drug that caused heavy bleeding, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited and quickly spread.
Just at this moment, there was a noise in the yard.
"Who is this villain who dares to trespass into the Marquis Wuyi's mansion?"
Hua Changxi flew into the Wuyi Marquis' Mansion on a cloud, alarming the guards in the mansion. The guards saw the direction Hua Changxi was landing and immediately chased after him.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw maids and old women lying unconscious on the ground. The guards immediately drew their swords and stood ready for battle.
When Mr. He San saw this, he quickly said, "It's not a thief, it's Aunt Hua's sister who has come. You have nothing to do here, so please leave."
When the guards saw Mr. He San signaling them to leave, they looked at the east wing, put away their swords, and prepared to go back and report to the prince.
Mrs. He San spoke up at this time: "The maids and servants lying here are too much of a nuisance, please take them away."
The guards looked at Master He San, and seeing that he did not stop them, they prepared to carry the unconscious person away.
However, when the guards carried the person to the gate of the courtyard, they found that they could not get out. A fiery red aura shield suddenly appeared and covered the courtyard.
"Third Master!"
The guards' faces changed drastically and they all looked at Master He Sanye.
Uncle He San frowned and walked over quickly. His eyelids twitched as he looked at the spiritual shield covering the courtyard.
No need to think about it, it must be Hua Changxi. She didn't let anyone in the yard leave.
Mr. He San was somewhat annoyed by Hua Changxi's behavior. This was the Wuyi Marquis' Mansion, not the Hua family. How could he allow her to casually set up an aura shield and restrict others from entering and leaving?
Knowing that his spiritual power was strong enough to break the spiritual shield, Master He San used all his strength to attack the spiritual shield.
However, the aura shield did not react at all.
Mr. He Sanye's attack was like a splash of water thrown into a river, without causing any ripples.
Seeing this, Mr. He San was shocked.
Relying on the training resources provided by the Marquis' Mansion and the Martial Academy, he is now a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, but he was unable to shake the spiritual energy shield set up by Hua Changxi in the slightest.
What is Hua Changxi’s cultivation level?
Uncle He San once again thought of the look Hua Changxi gave him before she entered the delivery room. It was as sharp as an arrow shooting at him. Thinking about it now, he still felt a chill run down his spine.
Mr. He Sanye's expression became solemn. If Aunt Hua really died, judging from the attitude shown by Hua Changxi, he and the Hua family would become mortal enemies.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not take a small Hua family seriously, but now the situation is turbulent and the cultivators are rising strongly, it is hard to say how the future will develop.
The Hua family produced Hua Changxin, and the Hua Changxi we saw today is also so powerful. The Hua family also has several cultivators among their descendants. This is a force that cannot be underestimated.
This person was supposed to be his helper, but now he has turned into his enemy. Mr. He San was very upset and turned around to look coldly at Mrs. He San.
Aunt Hua is just a concubine who gave birth to a child, but this jealous woman can't tolerate her. If she hadn't been so disorderly, she wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble.
Madam He San, Shen, was able to marry into the Wuyi Marquis's Mansion because her family was somewhat powerful. Except for the fact that Hua Changxi's strong attack at the beginning made her a little flustered, she has calmed down now.
She is the legal wife of Mr. He Sanye, and the daughter-in-law who was carried into the Wuyi Marquis's mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Even if Aunt Hua died today, the Hua family could not do anything to her.
Even if the He family wanted to maintain the reputation of the Marquisate, they would not allow a concubine's family to humiliate her, the legal wife.
However, Mr. He San's cold eyes still made Mrs. He San feel a little scared. She was not afraid of fighting with Aunt Hua, because Aunt Hua had a poor family background and could not beat her, but she was afraid of completely losing her husband's heart.
In the delivery room, Hua Changxi, who was anxious to save Hua Wuniang, had no time to care about He Sanye and others. After setting up an aura shield to prevent people in the yard from leaving, he ignored them and concentrated on rescuing Hua Wuniang, whose life was hanging by a thread.
"Wu Niang~"
Manager Kong was very capable. In less than an hour, he invited Aunt Hua's family members.
Hearing the anxious shouts and hurried footsteps outside the yard, Mr. He San's expression relaxed.
As a martial arts academy instructor, he knew that young people were more impulsive, prone to violence when things didn't go their way, and did things without considering the consequences. It was better to reason with the elders.
With elders in charge, things won't get out of control.
"Wu Niang!"
The first to rush into the yard was Fourth Aunt Hua, followed closely by Old Madam Hua, Mrs. Yao, and Second Aunt Hua. Then came the younger generations of the Hua family. All the Hua family members at home came.
Hua Silang, Hua Qinniang and Hua Shierniang, who were practicing in the Bo's Mansion, heard about this when Manager Kong came to the Bo's Mansion and followed him.
Seeing so many members of the Hua family coming in such a large group, Uncle He's eyelids twitched.
These people thought he was here to cause trouble, until they saw Hua Tai and his wife, and Hua Zhong, the chief steward of Dingyuan Earl's Mansion, who were the last people in charge of the team, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third Master, where is my Fifth Mother? Didn't they say that her pregnancy was safe? Then why did she have a difficult birth?"
As soon as Aunt Hua arrived, she grabbed Master He's arm.
Seeing that Mr. He was frowning because of Aunt Hua's pulling, Mrs. Zhong quickly stepped forward and pulled Aunt Hua away: "Now is not the time to ask these questions, let's take a look at Wu Niang's condition first."
"Third Master, how is Fifth Lady?"
Master He glanced at the delivery room and said, "Nine Lady is here. As soon as she arrived, she drove everyone out. I don't know what's going on now."
Upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt Hua immediately ran into the delivery room, followed closely by Yao, and Hua Seventh Aunt and Hua Twelve Aunt followed in without thinking.
Old Mrs. Hua took a few steps forward, but finally stopped. She looked at the delivery room anxiously with red eyes, as if she was afraid to go in.
Seeing the old lady like this, Aunt Hua stayed with her and did not go in.
Hua Liulang, Hua Silang, Hua Balang, and Hua Shisanlang stood together and asked anxiously, "Why can't we hear Fifth Sister's voice? Don't babies scream when they give birth? Why is Fifth Sister silent?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhong looked at Hua Tai and Butler Hua with a serious expression.
Hua Tai frowned, walked up to Mr. He, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. He, what is going on?"
Mr. He San naturally would not say that Mrs. He San had done something, he just said: "Madam Hua accidentally fell while taking a walk yesterday."
"yesterday!"
Hua Liulang had sharp ears. When he heard what He Sanye said, he immediately started yelling, "My fifth sister fell yesterday. Doesn't that mean she gave birth overnight? Why didn't you notify us during this period?"
Mr. He San was somewhat displeased with Hua Liulang's attitude, but he finally explained: "I really didn't expect Wu Niang to have a difficult delivery. I had thought that I would announce the good news to everyone right after she gave birth to the baby."
Hua Liulang didn't believe it: "I don't think you plan to notify us at all. If something happens to my fifth sister, without us, it will be up to you to decide her life or death."
"Mukuro!"
Hua Tai scolded Zhu Hua Liulang: "How could the Third Master watch Wu Niang get into trouble? Wu Niang is pregnant with the child he has been waiting for. You don't know what happened, so don't talk nonsense."
Old Master Hua didn't come, and without him watching, Hua Liulang had no intention of giving Hua Tai any face. He looked at Master He Sanye angrily: "Master He Sanye, it's okay if my fifth sister is fine, but if anything happens to her, we will never forgive you." Hearing this, Master He Sanye and Hua Tai both frowned.
When Mrs. Zhong saw this, she quickly interrupted, "Stop arguing. Be careful not to let Wu Niang hear it and affect her delivery. I'll go in to see Wu Niang now. Everyone don't worry." As she said that, she also stepped into the delivery room.
Next, everyone in the yard looked at the delivery room eagerly.
When Mrs. He San saw the Hua family come in, the spiritual shield was removed. Now everyone's attention was on the delivery room, so she immediately glanced at the two maids beside her.
When the maid saw this, she helped up an unconscious old woman and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave.
However, just as they reached the door, the courtyard was shrouded in spiritual energy again.
Seeing this, Mrs. He San's expression tightened. She could see that the Hua family was not going to let this matter go easily.
This made her a little worried, but when she thought of her father-in-law, Marquis Wu Yi, who was most concerned about her reputation, Mrs. He San's expression relaxed a little.
She is the Third Master's legal wife, and her father-in-law will not allow a concubine's family to bring down her.
In the delivery room, Hua Changxi was doing her best to save Hua Wuniang. When Hua Sishen and others came in, she didn't have time to deal with them. She simply threw an aura shield over them, confining them in a corner to avoid affecting her.
Looking at Hua Wu Niang, whose body was covered with silver needles, and the bed covers soaked with blood, Aunt Hua Si and others covered their mouths tightly to prevent themselves from crying.
Zhong, who came in later, looked a little unhappy when she saw Hua Wuniang's miserable condition.
I don't know how long it was before the sound of a baby crying "wa" broke the silence of the delivery room and the courtyard.
Hearing the cry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Changxi removed the spiritual shield from Aunt Hua Si and the others and asked them to take the child away. She also asked Hua Qinniang to boil the medicine, and she wanted to continue giving Hua Wuniang acupuncture to ensure that she would not bleed profusely again.
"Twelve Lady, come here."
After Hua Changxi finished the acupuncture, he called Twelve Niang to his side and said, "Fifth sister has suffered so much. Go ask Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, and Grandpa and Grandma what plans they have."
Hua Twelve Niang: "Grandfather is not here, and Fourth Uncle and his men are also on duty."
When Hua Changxi heard that Mr. Hua didn't come, he sneered and said, "Let Sixth Brother and the others go and call. Fifth Sister almost died. The Marquis' Mansion must give our family an explanation. How can we do it without them here?"
Hua Twelve Niang was also frightened by Hua Wu Niang's appearance. She nodded, turned around and went out to look for Hua Liu Lang and the others.
When Master He saw that the baby was born safely and Aunt Hua was out of danger, he thought that the matter would be over after a brief apology. However, who would have thought that the Hua family stayed in the courtyard and had no intention of leaving. Hua Liulang and his companions even went to call Hua Mingcheng and his companions who were still working in the yamen.
Mr. He San didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he could only look at Hua Tai.
Hua Tai was helpless and looked at Zhong again.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhong could only bite the bullet and walk to Old Madam Hua: "Fifth Lady is fine now. The people in the Marquis' Mansion will take good care of her. Let's go back first. Staying here will only cause trouble."
Hua Qiniang heard this and burst into suppressed anger: "Grandma Zhong, didn't you see what my sister looked like just now? Did the people in the Marquis' Mansion take good care of her?"
"You want us to leave now, do you want my sister to be alone and helpless again and let her die again?"
Zhong was a little annoyed: "I mean well, too."
"Good intentions?"
Hua Qiniang interrupted her directly: "It was you who said that the Marquis' Mansion was a blessed place and asked my fifth sister to become Mr. He Sanye's concubine. But is this a blessed place? This is clearly a den of tigers and wolves that eat people without leaving any bones."
"What on earth are you thinking? You think we are all fools, don't you know? And you are still brazenly talking about kindness here. If this is really a blessed place, why don't you let your own granddaughter come here to be a concubine?"
"enough!"
Hua Tai yelled and looked at Old Lady Hua: "We didn't force you to do this at the beginning. You did it voluntarily. How come it's our fault now?"
After hearing this, Old Lady Hua glared at Hua Qinnan and told her to stop talking.
Hua Qiniang didn't listen to Old Lady Hua this time. She looked at Hua Tai coldly and said, "You didn't force us openly. You just used the power of the clan to put pressure on us. It seemed like you gave us a choice, but in fact, you didn't, because you were sure that our family would not dare to resist the clan."
Hearing this, Hua Tai was so angry that he was about to scold Hua Qinnan when he heard a commotion outside the yard.
Then, He Dalang appeared at the gate of the courtyard with a group of guards. They wanted to enter the courtyard, but were blocked outside by the spiritual energy shield.
"Uncle San, what's going on?"
Mr. He San walked to the gate of the courtyard: "Madam Hua had a difficult delivery, and the Hua family seemed to want to hold me accountable."
He Dalang's eyes widened. "How dare a concubine's family be so arrogant and come to the Marquis of Wuyi's mansion to cause trouble? Do they still take the mansion seriously?"
He Sanye also felt ashamed and blamed himself: "Hua Jiuniang's cultivation is higher than mine, I can't break this spiritual energy shield."
After hearing this, He Dalang immediately condensed his spiritual energy and attacked the spiritual energy shield.
The aura shield did not respond at all.
Seeing this, Mr. He Sanye's heart continued to sink. Dalang had a good talent for cultivation and his cultivation was higher than his. He was promoted to the late Qi Hai realm last month, but he still couldn't break Hua Changxi's spiritual energy shield!
"What are you doing?"
Hua Liulang brought his fourth uncle Hua to the Marquis' Mansion and saw a group of people surrounding the courtyard, so they rushed over hurriedly.
When He Dalang saw Hua Liulang, he knew he was a member of the Hua family and attacked him without saying a word.
When Hua Liulang saw this, he was unable to dodge and could only fight back head-on.
In an instant, the two started fighting.
"Liu Lang is also a monk?"
Looking at Hua Liulang fighting with He Dalang, Hua Zhong, the butler of the Bo Mansion, who had been silent, spoke up and looked at Hua Tai in surprise.
Hua Tai was also full of surprise. He had no idea that Hua Liulang was also a cultivator.
There are only six monks registered in Hua Bin's family: Hua Dalang, Hua Shiniang, Hua Silang, Hua Shier Niang, Hua Qiniang, and Hua Shiyilang.
Originally, it was surprising enough when Manager Kong came to tell them that Hua Jiuniang was a cultivator, but they didn't expect that Hua Liulang was also a cultivator.
When Master He San saw that the Hua family had one more cultivator, his temples began to throb with pain.
The spiritual veins created by the Creation Pill are comparable to innate spiritual veins. Hua Liulang has a single fire spiritual root, and the "Burning Flame Art" he practices is also a top-grade technique. He has no shortage of elixirs or spirit stones, and is now a cultivator in the late Qi Hai realm.
Although Hua Liulang's cultivation level is comparable to He Dalang's, he lacks combat experience and is often suppressed by He Dalang.
Hua Changxi walked out of the delivery room at some point, looked at the two people fighting, and chuckled, "Sixth brother, if you beat this guy, I'll give you a storage ring."
When Hua Liulang heard this, his face lit up: "Really?!"
Next, Hua Liulang seemed to be energized and attacked He Dalang with all his might.
At the beginning, He Dalang was able to handle it well, but gradually he became overwhelmed, while Hua Liulang became more and more fierce in the fight.
When Hua Changxi saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up. Didn't the He family use the fifth sister as a reproductive tool? Then she would let the eldest grandson of the He family serve as a whetstone for her sixth brother.
