The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 139

Pei Jiya smiled meaningfully and took the two wooden dolls. “Maybe you can use them next time.”

Wu Zhen immediately narrowed her eyes, changed her mind, and accepted them.

Pei Jiya pointed at the two wooden dolls and said, “Cousin, you are too cautious. I haven’t cast a spell on these two wooden dolls yet. It doesn’t matter if you touch them with your hands now.” As he spoke, he cast a spell on the wooden dolls in front of Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu.

Mei Zhuyu, who had been silent, suddenly changed his expression and looked at Pei Jiya sharply. When he was silent, he had no sense of existence. However, at that moment, his momentum changed drastically, and the sense of oppression he gave people became heavier.

“In the past, in the deserted old mansion of the former Shangshu Ling in Yongfufang, it was you,” Mei Zhuyu suddenly said in a certain tone.

Pei Jiya was stunned for a moment and then laughed, “I actually forgot that you saw me take action and recognized me.” He admitted it without any hesitation.

Wu Zhen heard these two sentences and guessed something, immediately asking, “What is it? Tell me clearly.”

Mei Zhuyu briefly told her about the vicious dogs and the two dead beggars that had appeared in the deserted house. Wu Zhen’s face suddenly darkened as she asked Pei Jiya, “You let vicious dogs eat people in my territory?”

As a Cat Lord, she managed the huge Chang’an. If fighting and killing between ordinary people had nothing to do with her, involving non-human creatures would be an offense to her authority. If Pei Jiya really made the vicious dogs kill people in Chang’an, Wu Zhen could not condone it, no matter what.

Pei Jiya quickly waved his hands and said, “That’s not the case. In fact, the vicious dogs I raised have never eaten living people. They only eat corpses. The two beggars died a long time ago. I didn’t kill them; they probably starved to death.” He added with a bit of grievance, “I raised those vicious dogs. In order to feed them, I spent a lot of effort finding ownerless corpses along the way. It’s rare to find ownerless corpses in Chang’an. I finally found two and let them have a full meal. I raised them well, and they were about to turn into monster dogs. But in the end, they were killed by the one next to you…”

Wu Zhen was actually a bit nonchalant about it. After hearing this, she felt it was okay, as it didn’t cross her bottom line. However, seeing that her husband’s expression remained indifferent, she coughed and said coldly, “You can raise vicious dogs casually?! If they really kill people in Chang’an, I will definitely not be polite.”

These two light sentences did not imply any serious pursuit.

Mei Zhuyu then asked, “Was the man who wanted to kill me the clone you created?”

Wu Zhen’s face darkened completely. “Want to kill my husband?” She looked at Pei Jiya again, but this time her eyes were much colder than before.

“Cousin, can you explain it?” She said with a wry smile.

Pei Jiya smiled but cursed in his heart. That Taoist priest surnamed Mei looked simple-minded, but he actually intended to file a complaint. 

Pei Jiya was carried away by the servants of the Pei family, who dared not say anything. If anyone else had attacked the only precious young master of their generation in the Pei family, those burly guards would definitely not have been polite. However, the one who did it was Wu Zhen. Even their arrogant young master Pei couldn’t handle his cousin. What else could the guards and servants of the Pei family do? Of course, they could only carry their pretending-to-be-dead young master away quickly.

If you can’t afford to offend, avoid it.

After Mei Zhuyu said just that one sentence, he had no room to speak and could only watch in amazement as Wu Zhen jumped up and kicked her cousin away. He didn’t expect Wu Zhen to react so strongly. She didn’t even listen to his explanation and beat him up mercilessly. Mei Zhuyu thought that the sickly cousin Pei was going to be beaten to death.

Wu Zhen’s expression did not return to normal until the Pei family left in a hurry. Seeing Mei Zhuyu’s expression, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Why are you looking at me like that? I was very gentle this time. Although you are fine, my cousin really wanted to kill you. For this reason, I will never let him set foot in Chang’an again.”

The look on her face when she spoke was unusually cold, even a little unlike her usual self. According to her style and habits, Pei Jiya would probably never be able to go to Chang’an in her lifetime. Mei Zhuyu didn’t know what to say for a moment. In fact, when he spoke, he hadn’t thought of taking the opportunity to complain. It was just that he had an open and aboveboard style. He felt that there was nothing to hide about that matter. Wu Zhen should know, and he also wanted to ask for clarification, so he said it.

He said it, and the person was already beaten, so it was useless to think too much. Mei Zhuyu stopped dwelling on it. 

Wu Zhen held her husband’s hand and finally said with a smile, “Okay, let’s go back and see how our goose is doing. It has been raised by Niu Yi and Niu Er these days, and I don’t know if it is doing well.”

Mei Zhuyu then remembered the two bull monster followers who had been forgotten in an inn, along with the goose they bought on the way to Wuzhen.

The three were fine. When Wu Zhen and her husband found them, the goose was following the chickens in the backyard of the guesthouse, looking for food. Wu Zhen stretched out her hand, grabbed the goose by the neck, and lifted it up. The goose, suddenly grabbed, opened its mouth fiercely to peck. Wu Zhen quickly pinched its mouth and pulled a thin rope from a tree nearby to tie it shut. Then she played with this furry little thing very proudly.

The innkeeper ran over with a smile and said that the little goose had been fighting with the dog here for the past few days. He didn’t know how such a small thing could be so ferocious.

As for the two fierce-looking mighty servants, Niu Yi and Niu Er, they were very docile and waited obediently without causing any trouble. They simply transformed into their original forms and ate grass on the nearby hills, consuming a patch of it.

After finishing their work, Wu Zhen and her husband returned to Chang’an slowly. It took them longer to get back because Wu Zhen’s belly was getting bigger. The couple was a little scared and could only travel at a slow pace. It was amusing to say that Wu Zhen was fearless. Mei Zhuyu thought she would not be able to rest even if she was pregnant. Who knew she was unexpectedly responsible and serious? Except for refusing to drink some tonic medicine, she really did not do anything inappropriate. Even if she got carried away occasionally, she would soon remember her belly and restrain herself.

This surprised Mei Zhuyu, and he couldn’t help but feel sad. Occasionally, when she was bored and uncomfortable, he would want to do something to cheer her up—like catching some interesting little monsters for her to see or picking beautiful flowers by the roadside and giving them to her. Although these were tricks Wu Zhen had used before and seemed silly and foolish, Wu Zhen was still happy. The joy was not in the things her husband brought back but in seeing him try his best to please her.

Because she was worried that the Monster Market was supported by the Snake Lord alone with a few assistants, Wu Zhen didn’t feel like taking the opportunity to travel around. She took her husband back to Chang’an obediently, without even taking a long detour. However, despite that, by the time they arrived in Chang’an, it was almost October.
