My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield-Chapter 159: Young Master Xu Has Really Good Skin

Chapter 159: Young Master Xu Has Really Good Skin

Upon bringing up Xu Qiao, Su Changqing smiled bitterly.

Yes, in court, this matter was over!

However, in private, the feud between the two families had been formed.

Su Changqing sighed and said, "Xu Longcheng might have been humiliated, but Xu Qiao should know that I can make things difficult for him at any time after hearing the report from the royal court. I spared him just now, so he must have some misgivings. I don't think he will publicly attack Su Wen again. As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time."

Emperor Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Neither side would be punished.

In his view, this was for the best. As for the internal conflicts between the officials…

It was not necessarily a bad thing.

On the other hand, Wu Kunhu and Xu Qiao walked out of the palace together.

The atmosphere was awkward.

To people in their position, this was a great humiliation.

This was especially so since they had just discussed the marriage between the two families yesterday.

"Old Xu, your son is really disappointing this time," Wu Kunhu said softly.

Xu Qiao said in a deep voice, "Brother Wu, don't worry. My son will definitely learn from his shame and become better. Once he recovers, he will go and seek revenge on Su Wen and avenge his previous humiliation."

Wu Kunhu waved his hand and said, "Forget it. In my opinion, there's no need to continue pestering him about this matter. That brat from the Su Clan is extremely sinister. Longcheng is a person who does things in an aboveboard manner, and he's definitely not a match for Su Wen. It wouldn't be too late to take revenge after cultivating and breaking through to a higher realm."

Xu Qiao looked at Wu Kunhu and asked, "Yesterday, when we returned from Dragon City, he also mentioned something. He said that Muyu and Su Wen were in love with each other. Is there such a thing?"

Wu Kunhu nodded, "That's true. I won't lie to you about this. My daughter has indeed fallen in love with Su Wen, and she has also quarreled with me more than once at home. However, children's marriage has always been decided by their parents and matchmakers. When will it be her turn to decide?"

Wu Kunhu didn't intend to lie. In his opinion, this matter couldn't be hidden.

He looked at Xu Qiao and smiled. "Brother Xu, if you're scared, we can forget about this marriage. Anyway, we didn't betroth you or set a gift. It's just a verbal agreement."

Xu Qiao sneered, "Why would I be afraid? So what if it's Su Changqing? I just feel that Brother Wu should have told me beforehand. if Longcheng had made preparations beforehand, he might not have lost yesterday!"

Wu Kunhu was unhappy. He thought to himself, "It's of my business if your son loses. I haven't even blamed him for shaming me yet!"

Of course, these words couldn't be said directly. If they were said directly, then they would fall out completely.

Although Xu Longcheng had been defeated, there was no doubt that he was still one of the most outstanding youths in Great Zhou.

"For the youth, this bit of hardship isn't worth much. Even if they suffer some setbacks, so long as they can learn from their shame and progress from there, it might not be a bad thing. Just don't keep harping and falling down at the same spot." After saying this, Wu Kunhu quickly left.

"Hmph!" Xu Qiao was a little unhappy in his heart. Obviously, Wu Kunhu didn't think that Xu Longcheng would succeed in his revenge.

After Xu Qiao returned home, he didn't mention anything about revenge. He only gave Xu Longcheng some expensive elixirs to treat his injuries. Within a few days, Xu Longcheng had completely recovered.

"Father, I'm going to take revenge on Su Wen!" Xu Longcheng said angrily as soon as he had recovered.

Xu Qiao gave him a side glance and sneered. "You idiot. You couldn't beat him last time, but now you can? Doesn't he like Wu Muyu? The best revenge you can take on him is to marry Wu Muyu and let him watch as the woman he loves is taken away by you! Listen to me. Take some things and pay a visit to Wu Kunhu's house to get to know his family better! I can guarantee that when Su Wen hears about you going there, he will definitely go crazy!"

Xu Longcheng pondered for a moment. It seemed to be worth a try!

He immediately prepared some expensive gifts and headed to the Wu Residence to pay a visit.

After greeting Wu Kunhu and exchanging pleasantries, he was asked to stay behind for lunch.

This was a plan to let him have a chance to interact with Wu Muyu.

In the living room of the Wu Residence, Wu Kuihu sat at the host's seat, with Wu Lie and Wu Muyu on one side. Xu Longcheng sat opposite Wu Muyu, and like a traditional banquet, each person had a small table in front of each of them.

When the dishes and wine were served, Wu Kunhu roared with laughter, "Longcheng's arrival today brings light to my humble dwelling. Longcheng an outstanding genius amongst the young, so you all should get to know him better!"

"Thank you for your praise, Uncle Wu!" Xu Longcheng down a cup of wine with Wu Kunhu.

At this moment, Wu Muyu looked at Xu Longcheng with admiration in her eyes. She smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Xu, I really admire you. Can I ask you a question?"

Xu Longcheng felt light-headed under Wu Muyu's admiring gaze. He smiled and said, "Of course."

"Then… I won't be polite…"

"Sister Muyu, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Feel free to ask…"

"I just want to know… is Young Master Xu's complexion so good because of Brother Su's urine?"

"Pfft!" Wu Lie, who was eating and drinking by the side, spewed out all the food and wine in his mouth. It sprayed all over the table. Thankfully, because they each had their own tables, the rest were spared for this disgusting scene.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I really couldn't hold it in!" Wu Lie covered his mouth with one hand and waved the other.

It was just that… the atmosphere in this house had turned awkward.

Wu Kunhu's face was steely as he glared at Wu Muyu…

Xu Longcheng's face was flushed red. He couldn't wait to find a hole to hide in.

This was a sore spot in his heart.

However, before he could go over, he was stabbed by another proverbial knife.

"Nonsense! You're a lady, what sort of words you spouting?" Wu Kunhu saw that Xu Longcheng was embarrassed and reprimanded her sternly.

Wu Muyu pouted and mumbled, "I'm just curious… After all, Young Master Xu has a really good complexion."

Xu Longcheng suppressed his anger and said, "Born with it… I was born with it…"

"Then I'll change the subject, okay…?"

Wu Muyu had just finished speaking when Wu Kunhu shouted angrily, "Just eat! Why do you have so many questions?"

Wu Muyu explained, "I just want to know more about Young Master Xu. If you don't allow, then forget it!"

Xu Longcheng quickly pretended to be generous and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Sister Muyu, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"Well… I'd like to ask Young Master Xu… is Brother Su heaty recently?"

Xu Longcheng was stunned. "How would I know what's happening with Su Wen?"

Wu Muyu smiled. "Brother Su peed on Master Xu's face, didn't he? Was it yellow then? Was the stench strong? How did it taste? Isn't it obvious? If Brother Su is not heaty, then I'll make some Tiger Whip Soup1 for him. If he's heaty, I'll make some lotus seed soup for him."

Xu Longcheng could no longer sit still. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm full! I'll take my leave first!"

Wu Kunhu was helpless at this scene. He could only say, "Take care, Longcheng!"

Xu Longcheng turned around and left directly!

After he left, Wu Kunhu raged at Wu Muyu, "Are you crazy?"

Wu Muyu picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mout leisurely, "No, it's just that we are trying to understand each other. What does his anger have to do with me?"

"You call that understanding each other? You're practically slapping him in the face."

Wu Muyu raised his head and said with a smile, "Then blame my supposed husband for being disappointing. If he pees on Brother Su's face, won't it be great for him then? Who can you blame?"

The father and daughter looked at each other, neither giving in.

Wu Kunhu sighed and said, "You will only harm yourself by doing this. It's impossible between you and Su Wen. If you treat Longcheng well, you will naturally have a comfortable life after marrying him. If you behave like this, won't you be wronged after marrying him?"

Tears welled up in Wu Muyu's eyes. "Then I won't marry him. Why must I marry him?"

Wu Kaihu laughed coldly and said, "Even if I were to change your husband, would you be able to get along peacefully with him? If that's the case, I'll cancel the engagement now!"

"If you let me marry Brother Su, I'll be able to get along peacefully."

"You're dreaming!"

"Then I won't marry!"

As the two of them argued, both of them didn't notice that Wu Lie threw down his chopsticks and followed Xu Longcheng out.

Or rather, they noticed it but didn't take it to heart.

Xu Longcheng gritted his teeth as he left the Wu Residence. His eyes were filled with hatred!

"Bastard! Su Wen! Wu Muyu! The adulterous couple! What an adulterous couple!"

"Just you wait, I'll marry you and see how I torture you!"

"Su Wen, I won't let you off either! Just wait and see!"

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He quickly changed his face and turned around. It was Wu Lie.

"Brother Longcheng, I'm sorry. My sister doesn't know etiquette." Wu Lie came out and apologized to Xu Longcheng.

Although Xu Longcheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still put on a smile and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Muyu is still young and has been deceived by Su Wen's flowery words. I won't take it to heart."

Wu Lie agreed. "That's right! That kid is not a good person!"

Xu Longcheng was secretly pleased when he saw Wu Lie cursing Su Wen. He asked curiously, "I wonder why Brother Wu came out after me…"

Wu Lie smiled and said, "I saw that you didn't eat much. They were arguing inside and I couldn't eat as well. Let's find a place to drink together."

As he spoke, Wu Lie put his arm around Xu Longcheng's shoulder.

Xu Longcheng accepted Wu Lie's invitation with a smile, especially since the marriage hadn't been finalized yet.

Wu Lie did not prepare a carriage, he directly boarded Xu Longcheng's carriage and drove towards the bustling city.

"Let's go to this restaurant! They sell wild beast meat. Although it's a little expensive, the taste is excellent!"

Walking to the bustling capital, Wu Lie chose a restaurant!

"Let's not go home until we're drunk today!"

The two of them entered the restaurant.

Wu Lie ordered many expensive dishes before smiling at Xu Longcheng, "I'll be the host today. Don't stand on ceremony. Let's look for the Second Prince tonight and have some fun!"

"Alright!" Xu Longcheng felt much better after sensing Wu Lie's enthusiasm.

After ordering the dishes, Wu Lie went downstairs to relieve himself. Xu Longcheng looked down the street to see his guard standing by the side of the door.

After the previous incident, Xu Qiao had changed a 7th Grade Earth Rank guard for him.

"Brother Song, you should go get some food too. I don't know how long we'll be drinking!" Xu Longcheng shouted from upstairs.

The guard nodded and went to buy some food.

People came and went in the restaurant.

Wu Lie went downstairs but did not go to the toilet.

Instead, he found the shopkeeper and said in a low voice, "Go and report to your young master that Wu Lie and Xu Longcheng are having a meal in the restaurant. He will naturally know what to do."

This business belonged to the Su family!

In the restaurant, the dishes and wine were served. Wu Lie and Xu Longcheng started to drink and eat wantonly.

Not long after they had some alcohol in their bellies, they became sworn brothers.

The two of them were both from military backgrounds and thus had a lot to talk about.

Coupled with Wu Lie's straightforward personality, Xu Longcheng felt like he regretted not meeting him earlier.

They ate and drank all the way from noon to evening.

The guard outside could hear Xu Longcheng's movements from time to time. He simply busied himself by looking at the scenery and eating his food.

During dinner, there were even more customers in the restaurant.

After a while, the guard suddenly felt that something was amiss. It seemed like he hadn't heard Xu Longcheng's movements for a long time!

He suddenly jumped up and saw that Wu Lie was the only one left at the table by the window. His face was red from drinking and his eyes were blurry.

Xu Longcheng was nowhere to be seen!

"Young Master Wu, where's my young master?"

The guard asked.

Wu Lie opened his eyes blankly and grinned. "How would I know? I think he went to relieve himself?"

The guard heaved a sigh of relief and waited on the spot. However, Xu Longcheng did not return even after a quarter of an hour!

He immediately panicked!

"Young Master Wu, why isn't my Young Master back yet?"

Wu Lie leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. "Maybe he's just sh*tting…"

One hour later, the guard had almost lost himself in anxiety.

He quickly went down to ask where the latrine was. However, when he went down to take a look, there was no sign of Xu Longcheng.

When he returned to the restaurant, Wu Lie was nowhere to be seen as well.

The guard was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Wu Lie was making his way home in swaying steps.

He constantly muttered to himself, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. For my sister… and also for Su Wen, I'll have to let you suffer a little."

The Xu family guard went back to report to Xu Qiao, causing him to fly into another rage!

However, he had no other choice. He could only bring his men out to search for Xu Longcheng. However, no matter how he looked around the restaurant, no one said that they had seen Xu Longcheng.

Xu Qiao's heart sank.

Soon, he found a clue. "This is the Su family's property? Could it be Su Wen who was involved?"

He led his men straight to Su Wen's mansion.

"Get Su Wen to come out and see me!"

Xu Qiao shouted at the door.

There was no other way. That Lord Luo who stopped him yesterday was still at Su Wen's residence. It was obvious that Su Changqing had done this to strengthen Su Wen's guards.

Su Wen walked out of the house with sleepy eyes.

"What are you doing outside my house in the middle of the night? I want to sleep, do you know that?"

Xu Qiao shouted, "Where did you hide Xu Longcheng? Hurry up and hand him over!"

Su Wen sneered and said, "What does your son's whereabouts have to do with me? Why? Did he acknowledge me as his godfather? Do I have to care about his life or death? He might even have gone into some brothel to have fun!"

Xu Qiao said angrily, "Do you think my son is like you? Longcheng has never gone to such a wretched place!"

Su Wen pursed his lips. "Then he's really pitiful. Let me tell you, I don't know where he is. You can find him anywhere you like. Don't come here and carry out your crazy stunts!"

After Su Wen said that, he turned around and entered the mansion. Xu Qiao roared, "If anything happens to my son, I will make sure you suffer!"

Old Xu almost went crazy looking for his son.

At this moment, the Patrol Office received a report that there was a case of illegal prostitution!

A troop of soldiers came to the area where the report stated.

After they broke in, they saw Xu Longcheng lying naked on the bed, with an old lady in her fifties sitting on his body…

Her face had so much powder and make up that it looked like the streets outside after a snowfall!

Such a scene was equivalent to being caught red-handed.

When Xu Longcheng woke up, he caught sight of this woman. However, both of them were already locked up in their cells.

The woman glanced at him and said in an aggrieved tone, "Young Master, it's not that I don't want to serve you. We were just starting the second round last night when they broke in and arrested us!"

"Ah! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xu Longcheng turned pale with fright. He suddenly stood up, only to realize that he was only wearing a pair of underwear.

He shouted angrily, "Let me out! Do you know who I am? I'm Xu…"

The words were almost out of his mouth… before he realized something was wrong.

But it was useless.

Under Su Wen's manipulation, the entire street was already filled with rumors of Young Master Xu 'battling' with the middle-aged woman last night.

At this moment, Su Wen was together with Wu Lie.

"Look, this is a new set of armor that I got from the Spiritual Master Residence. Since your dad never really hits you seriously, you can wear it all the time. After wearing it, you'll definitely be able to defend against an extremely powerful impact."

"I got this anesthetic pill from Ni Hongxiao as well. If there ever reaches a point where you really can't take the pain anymore, swallow this pill. It will definitely make you lose consciousness quickly. Even if you cut off your head, you won't feel any pain."

"There are also some medicines for external injuries here. I got it from the royal physician, Shen Qiu. It's very effective!"

After saying that, Su Wen patted Wu Lie's shoulder and sighed. "It's all up to you now, Brother!"

It could be said that Su Wen had already covered up the entire matter. The only person who could betray him was Wu Lie.

As long as Wu Lie did not say anything, no one would be able to find out that he was the culprit.

Later in the day, Xu Qiao brought Xu Longcheng home. The atmosphere was extremely awkward!

"What happened yesterday? Tell me everything that happened after you left!" He still believed in his son.

Xu Longcheng explained everything in an aggrieved manner. In the end, he said, "I only remember that I drank with Wu Lie. We drank non-stop, and in the end, I blacked out.

"Wu Lie didn't bring any servants or guards with him when he came out?"

"Nope!"

"And what did the old woman say?"

At the mention of that old woman, Xu Longcheng felt like vomiting.

He smiled wryly. "The woman said it was a servant who sent her to me and told her to serve me well—"

Pa!

Xu Qiao slammed the table and gritted his teeth. "This has something to do with Wu Lie!"

"I'm going to settle the score with Wu Kunhu!"

Xu Qiao stormed out angrily and headed straight for the Wu residence!

Upon entering and seeing Wu Kunhu, Xu Qiao questioned him sternly, "Wu Kunhu, good, you're really something. What a good son and good daughter you have there. My son has been humiliated in your residence by your daughter and was even tricked by your son. You're really good!"

Wu Kunhu's eyes narrowed slightly. He had also heard of the tales of Xu Longcheng hiring an illegal prostitute and engaging in a 'great battle' with that fifty year old woman.

He was about to cancel the engagement, but he did not expect Xu Qiao to come to interrogate him first!

"What about my son?"

"You'll know when you call him out!"

Soon, Wu Lie came out. Xu Qiao immediately accosted him, "What happened yesterday?"

Wu Lie shook his head and said, "Uncle Xu, what are you saying? We were drinking and I didn't move from my spot the whole time. How would I know where Xu Longcheng went?"

Xu Qiao wanted to ask more questions, but Wu Kunhu shouted, "You can't control your own son, so why did you come to my house and interrogate my son instead? Does that even make sense?! If you have evidence, you can go complain to His Majesty. I don't want to hear your nonsense!

Also, your son's actions are so despicable. Don't mention the marriage with Muyu again! Men, send the guest out!"
