Chapter 227, Supporting the Flower Lady
Chapter 227, Supporting Hua Wuniang
Hua Changxi didn't want to stay in the main room, so he teased He Xiaoman, said something to Old Lady Hua, and took Hua Wuniang to his room.
"Xiao Man's arms and legs are really strong."
Hua Changxi smiled as he watched the energetic baby crawling around on the bed, and suddenly looked at Hua Wuniang: "Is the chance of the He family's bloodline returning to their ancestral lineage high?"
Hua Wuniang smiled uncomfortably: "I'm not sure about this."
She was just a concubine. Although she would now be taken by the Marquis's wife to participate in the He family's social activities, she was still excluded from the important affairs within the He family.
Seeing Hua Wuniang's embarrassed expression, Hua Changxi realized that he had asked the wrong question and quickly explained, "I just wanted to calculate and see if our Xiaoman would inherit the He family's bloodline and return to his ancestral home."
"The He family's golden tiger bloodline, when combined with body refining techniques, will definitely have high combat effectiveness."
After hearing this, Hua Wu Niang immediately asked, "Nine Niang, can you tell now whether Xiao Man has spiritual roots?"
Innate spiritual roots are generally innate, but they are relatively shallow and fragile when one is just born. They need to be nurtured slowly until they become flexible and strong before they can be cultivated.
Those with ample resources can cultivate their spiritual roots early and start practicing at the age of three or four.
For those who are resource-poor, and can only rely on their physical bodies to nourish their spiritual roots, it is considered early to start practicing in their teens or twenties.
Hua Changxi used the techniques of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation to investigate, but did not find any spiritual roots in He Xiaoman's body. Looking at Hua Wuniang who was looking at him eagerly, he hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.
When Hua Wuniang saw this, she first looked disappointed, then showed a look of unwillingness to believe, and asked Hua Changxi for confirmation again.
"Nine Lady, the child is still so young, could it be that his spiritual roots haven't grown yet, or, or, maybe you made a mistake?"
Hua Changxi looked at her and said, "Fifth sister, Xiaoman doesn't have spiritual roots, so he just can't practice Dharma cultivation. He can still take the path of physical cultivation."
"There are many people in our family who don't have spiritual roots, aren't they all physical cultivators?"
"Besides, Xiaoman still has the blood of the He family. If his blood can return to his ancestral lineage, his future path of cultivation will not be too bad."
After hearing this, Hua Wuniang's complexion improved a little, but she then looked at Hua Changxi hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Seeing her like this, Hua Changxi felt a little headache: "Fifth sister, just say what you want to say."
Hua Wu Niang: "Jiu Niang, I know you are very powerful. I want to know if you know any method to stimulate the return of human bloodline to ancestral roots?"
Hua Changxi looked at her: "Fifth sister, why did you think of asking this? Did Mr. He San ask you to ask?"
Hua Wuniang shook her head first, then nodded: "Third Master did mention it, but I also want to know. After all, the probability of our family's bloodline returning to our ancestors is too high. I just want to know if it's because of you."
Hua Changxi: "Fifth sister, the return of our family's bloodline has nothing to do with me."
Hua Wuniang's eyes flashed. Jiuniang only said that the family's bloodline regression had nothing to do with her, but she did not deny that she had a way to stimulate people's bloodline regression.
"No one knows what the world will be like in the future. Xiaoman has no spiritual roots, so I wonder..."
Hua Wuniang held Hua Changxi's hand and said, "Nineth Lady, I just want Xiaoman to be able to protect himself in the future. He has no spiritual roots, and I'm afraid he won't have any future just by practicing body training. Can you help him restore his bloodline to his ancestral roots?"
Hua Changxi pulled back her hand and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, you worry too much. Xiaoman is still young."
Hua Wu Niang: "Jiu Niang, you may not be able to understand the feelings of a mother now, but when you have children in the future, you will understand that mothers all want to leave the best things to their children."
Hua Changxi continued to tease He Xiaoman who was crawling on the bed, without responding.
Hua Wuniang saw this and walked over: "Jiu Niang, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Third Master, he said he wants to divorce Third Madam."
Hua Changxi paused and looked at Hua Wuniang: "Wasn't Madam He San sent to the farm? Why did Master He San suddenly want to divorce her?"
Hua Wu Niang was silent for a while, then she said, "The Third Master said that he is a bastard and is well aware of the embarrassing situation of bastards. He doesn't want Xiao Man to be treated like him and be looked down upon by the world."
"He wants to... He wants to..." Seeing that Hua Wuniang was in a difficult situation to talk about, Hua Changxi helped her to speak: "Master He San wants to make you his legal wife?"
Hua Wu Niang nodded and said, "Yes, before returning home, the Third Master went to talk to the Marquis about this matter, and the Marquis and the people in the Marquis's Mansion had no objection." After saying this, she paused, with a hint of joy on her face.
"The Third Master should have told the family about this today. Ninth Lady, when I am officially appointed as the wife, I will no longer be a concubine and will no longer bring shame to the family."
Hua Changxi frowned: "Did Mr. He San say he wanted to divorce his wife before he returned home?"
Hua Wuniang's eyes flickered and she nodded. She knew in her heart that the reason why the Third Master divorced his wife so decisively and the Marquis' Mansion did not stop him was because Jiu Niang had obtained the secret realm.
The He family saw the signs of the Hua family's prosperity and wanted to have a closer relationship with them.
"Nine Lady, aren't you happy for me?"
Hua Changxi smiled faintly: "Fifth sister, you are the one living your life, as long as you are happy."
Hua Wuniang took Hua Changxi's hand again and said, "Nineth Lady, I know the He family has their own little thoughts, but when I am appointed as the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, the Hua family will also have a capable in-law."
"This is also a good thing for the Hua family, right?"
Hua Changxi smiled and pulled back her hand again: "Fifth sister, you know that our family affairs are all decided by our grandparents, you really don't need to tell me these."
Hua Wuniang noticed Hua Changxi's alienation and was very puzzled. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Jiu Niang, do you think I shouldn't be promoted?"
Hua Changxi laughed: "Fifth sister, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Your life in the Marquis' Mansion has nothing to do with me. You can live your life the way you want. You don't need to care about what anyone thinks."
Hua Wu Niang disagreed: "But we are family, your opinion is very important to me."
Hua Changxi was silent for a moment: "Fifth sister, since you said so, then I will tell you my thoughts."
"Whether the Marquis' Mansion decides to promote you is the decision of the Marquis' Mansion. I have no opinion and I have no right to have an opinion."
"But I just feel that Mr. He San is too heartless. I don't want to acknowledge him as my brother-in-law."
Hua Wu Niang was really confused: "Nine Niang, when the Third Madam wanted me to die in childbirth, it was you who insisted on severely punishing the Third Madam. I thought you hated her."
Hua Changxi: "I really hate Madam He San who wants to kill you, but that doesn't stop me from hating Master He San."
"People like Mr. He San always put their own interests first."
"When you gave birth, he just wanted a son to carry on the family line. So, when you were bleeding heavily after giving birth, it didn't matter to him whether you lived or died. He could ignore your life."
"Now, he sees that the Hua family has something to exploit, and he wants to win over the Hua family, and he can easily sacrifice his original wife."
"This kind of person sacrifices women to make profits for himself. How selfish and heartless he is."
Hua Wuniang was stunned. Mr. He San wanted to make her his legal wife, but she was only concerned about changing her and her son's identities and status, and didn't think about what Jiuniang said at all.
Hua Changxi: "Fifth sister, Mr. He sees women as tools, calling them to come and dismissing them at will. I cannot agree with this. He and I are not the same kind of people."
"So, Fifth Sister, I'm giving you a heads up. Don't come to me with He family matters in the future. Even if you do, I won't pay any attention."
In the main hall, Master He San did inform the Hua family about his intention to promote Hua Wuniang to be their legal wife. As he expected, most of the Hua family members were pleasantly surprised and flattered.
The Wuyi Marquis's Mansion was also ranked among the most powerful families in the capital, while the Hua family was just a small family.
In the past, it was impossible for the Hua family to even think about moving into the Marquis' Mansion. But now that the two families have become relatives, it is definitely a great honor for the Hua family.
However, at the dinner table of the return banquet, Mr. He San found that Hua Changxi did not treat him well, and there was even a hint of disgust in his eyes, which made him quite puzzled.
By making Hua Wuniang the legitimate wife, the Hua family and the Marquis' Mansion became formal in-laws. The Hua family could break into the noble circle in the capital through the Marquis' Mansion. With such great sincerity, what could Hua Jiuniang be dissatisfied with?
