Chapter 522: Too Much Bullying

When Jiang Yulan opened her eyes, her figure had already appeared in a forest.

This was the entrance to the Huayang secret realm.

Upon appearing here, Jiang Yulan immediately spread her divine sense.

Unfortunately, even though she was at the Nascent Soul stage, her divine sense couldn’t extend beyond the great mountain.

Fortunately, her divine sense discovered a small path within the mountain, and she believed that if she followed the path, she would be able to leave this place.

Whoosh!

Moments later, Jiang Yulan flew into the sky.

In the air, she finally saw everything around her.

She saw a small county town several dozen kilometers away.

The county town presented familiar scenery to her.

Seeing the small county town, Jiang Yulan wished she could fly there immediately.

However, in the next moment, she hesitated.

She looked at her already rounded belly and sighed.

"Since I have been missing for over six months, I might as well not worry about a little more time."

Jiang Yulan ultimately decided to wait until after she gave birth to return home.

If she went back now, she wouldn’t be able to explain the child’s existence and would face countless strange looks and accusations.

So rather than that, it was better to wait until the child was born to return.

However, although she couldn’t go back, Jiang Yulan still concealed her figure and flew toward the small county town.

She decided to secretly check on her family and then find a place where no one knew her to give birth to the child.

"Huh?"

Just as Jiang Yulan scanned the county town with her divine sense, she suddenly sensed a powerful divine sense similar to her own.

In the next moment, Jiang Yulan discovered the owner of the divine sense.

"Damn it."

Upon seeing this person, Jiang Yulan’s expression turned quite ugly.

Just as Jiang Yulan noticed the other party, they also spotted her flying in the sky.

That person was, of course, He Mu Shan.

But when He Mu Shan saw Jiang Yulan flying in the sky and sensed her Nascent Soul stage power, he could hardly believe his eyes.

"You, how are you already at the Nascent Soul stage?" He Mu Shan asked Jiang Yulan, shocked.

If he remembered correctly, he had sent this woman to the secret realm only a little over six months ago.

In the next moment, He Mu Shan saw Jiang Yulan’s bulging belly, and his expression froze.

"Damn it, it’s all your fault."

Jiang Yulan was furious, and in the next moment, she attacked He Mu Shan directly.

"Don’t, don’t, don’t! You are pregnant; don’t make a move!"

Faced with Jiang Yulan’s attack, He Mu Shan didn’t dare to retaliate at all and quickly dodged.

To avoid having Jiang Yulan destroy the house he had worked hard to build, he flew up into the sky and headed in one direction.

"Um, I should probably call you ‘teacher’s wife,’ right? Please don’t hurt yourself; I apologize for what happened before."

He Mu Shan pleaded for mercy while fleeing.

After chasing for a while, Jiang Yulan stopped.

She had only seen He Mu Shan’s anger momentarily.

She didn’t want to kill He Mu Shan.

Through her time living in the secret realm, she had learned a lot.

For example, this He Mu Shan was probably that person’s disciple.

The Da Min Empire had a very conservative social environment where women’s status was very low. Being pregnant before marriage was a serious offense often punished severely.

In this society, a woman’s reputation was more important than anything else.

Now, not only had she lost her purity to a man, but she was also pregnant before marriage, which made Jiang Yulan feel quite distressed.

However, through living these past six months, she had accepted her fate.

She had her own man, and if he hadn’t been irresponsible and chased her away while she was pregnant, she definitely would have wanted to spend her life with him.

Moreover, her man was an Immortal and had even guided her in cultivation.

So in reality, she didn’t feel hatred toward He Mu Shan or Li Xiaojun.

She only had a bit of anger toward He Mu Shan for what he had done to her.

It was like an ordinary woman who had an affair with a handsome, overbearing CEO; even if they hadn’t married, she wouldn’t completely despise the CEO, especially since she had gained some of his wealth.

"Stop right there; I’m not going to hit you anymore," Jiang Yulan scolded He Mu Shan.

Upon hearing Jiang Yulan’s words, He Mu Shan hesitated and came to a stop.

"Teacher’s wife, you really won’t hit me?" He Mu Shan asked warily.

"Really won’t; I need you to help me with something," Jiang Yulan said testily.

"What help? Just tell me, teacher’s wife; as long as I can do it, I will certainly help!" He Mu Shan hurriedly assured her.

"Okay." Hearing He Mu Shan’s words, Jiang Yulan lightly said, "That large courtyard you lived in, it’s yours, right?"

"Yes," He Mu Shan quickly nodded. "I built it with my own money."

He Mu Shan spent over one hundred thousand taels of silver on that courtyard; it was quite luxurious.

"Then it’s settled; that courtyard is mine from now on. Hurry and get everyone out, then find another place for yourself to live," Jiang Yulan said lightly to He Mu Shan.

Hearing Jiang Yulan’s words, He Mu Shan’s mouth twitched, but he still nodded.

"Alright, I’ll clear it out for you, teacher’s wife."

Soon, He Mu Shan returned to the county town.

In less than an hour, he had moved all of his eighteen concubines out of the house.

"Teacher’s wife, this house is yours from now on," He Mu Shan said, feeling a bit of pain.

Although he thought the house wasn’t worth much—most things in his storage ring were far more valuable—it had taken a lot of his effort.

Now, he had lived there for just a few months, and the house was going to someone else, which made him feel quite pained.

But who could he refuse when it was his teacher’s wife?

If his teacher’s wife wanted his house, could he say no?

"Teacher’s wife, I’ll leave these maids and servants for you. I’ve already told them that you are their master from now on," He Mu Shan said flatteringly to Jiang Yulan.

"No need; just take them with you," Jiang Yulan waved her hand impatiently.

Upon hearing Jiang Yulan’s words, He Mu Shan ultimately took all the maids and servants with him.

After everyone left, Jiang Yulan then entered He Mu Shan’s house.

She couldn’t deny that He Mu Shan’s house was beautifully constructed, and she liked it at first glance.

Living here, she not only found a place to stay but could also use her divine sense to keep an eye on her parents and family.

…

At the Jiang family.

Bang!

"The dog eunuch is simply too much!"

In the Jiang family’s assembly hall, an elder slammed the table angrily.

"We will absolutely not let that dog eunuch succeed. The Lianshan Iron Mine is the lifeblood of our Jiang family; we cannot allow an eunuch to take it! We’ll fight to the death if we have to!"

Hearing this, an old man said lightly, “What use is it to make big claims here? What we need to consider next is how to protect the iron mine.

That eunuch was sent by the emperor; if you kill him, it will only bring catastrophic disaster to the Jiang family.”
