Chapter 210
Chapter 210
One of Lezheng's elders passed away. Although such a major event does not have to be reported to the alliance, at least Lezheng cannot pretend that it did not happen.
Although the remaining three elders remained silent about what had happened, Le Zhengqin was unable to question them and could only act according to their orders. Holding a funeral for the deceased Le Zhengmin did not require much preparation, but it did require speed.
They were skeptical about how the person in black could easily break into Le Zheng. Even if she was a demon, the barrier above Le Zheng was not just for show. It was very likely that there was a traitor.
Although they were not at that point, they had unreserved trust in their tribesmen, after all, they were also one of Le Zheng's big lies, but what they believed was Le Zheng's tough attitude towards the demons.
Even if they betrayed him, they would never associate with the demons, so they turned their suspicious eyes to Mu Xin.
If there is one thing that is different recently, it is that Mu Xin married in, and she has some powerful people around her, plus the Mu family has always been able to get along with all kinds of races in the world.
Therefore, they wanted to take a good look at Le Zhengmin's new wife at his funeral, whom they did not have the chance to see because she was in seclusion.
Mu Xin looked at the obituary on the table and calmly took a sip of tea. Le Ying was so worried that she didn't know what to do.
"They are deliberately asking us all to go. They really are suspicious of us."
Yun Xiu was a little worried. After all, he was Taoist Le Zheng who had lived for hundreds of years and had once had a relationship with them.
"Le Zheng has been in a stalemate with the demons for so many years, and he has a deep hatred for them. With the barrier stone and Le Ying using her identity as a demon, how can she get in without someone to lead her?
Naturally they have to be suspicious. Aren’t we, the newcomers, the first and most suspicious ones?
Even if I marry into the Lezheng family, I am still a person of an outsider. What's more, there have been many discords since my arrival, and your abilities are obvious to all.
Well, I'll go and meet them. I haven't seen them for many years, and I really want to take a good look at them. These ungrateful and unpromising people have defrauded me of my longevity. How ridiculous!
You have had much more contact with them than I have, and you also use Su Mu's appearance, so let's go and take a look at these sanctimonious elders."
"Yes."
"Do we have to go too?"
"What? It's just the beginning, and you don't dare to face it?"
After hearing what Mu Xin said, Le Ying's attitude immediately became decisive.
"No, this was decided long ago. I'll go."
"Since they want to meet all of us, let's all go. Honglian's injury hasn't healed yet, so it's just right for her to stay and guard the house. It's inevitable that there will be a few mice that want to come in and look around."
"Yes."
Three days after Le Zhengmin passed away, Le Zheng held a funeral for him. Mu Xin, as Le Zheng Yuhua's wife, also attended the funeral with her family.
She was wearing plain clothes and light makeup, and Mu Xin looked even paler because she was already weak.
Many people in Lezheng saw her again, and many saw her for the first time. They were all attracted by her beauty and couldn't help but envy Lezheng Yuhua.
Envy is not so bad, there are also many people who are jealous. Even if the Mu Mansion has been disbanded, it cannot change the reputation of the Mu Mansion among Taoists, the friendship between the Mu Mansion and many prominent figures, and the enviable abilities of Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu.
All of this may now belong to Le Zheng Yuhua. They don't know how many years they will have to fight for it, or they may never get it in their lifetime. But he got so much by marrying such a beautiful wife.
However, they soon became proud because he was now in Black Forest.
Even if the food and water he has can keep him alive for three days, he will eventually starve to death if he can't get out.
It won't take long, maybe half a month or a month, before someone will suggest that Mu Xin come forward to prove that Le Zheng Yuhua is dead.
As long as Le Zheng Yuhua died, no matter whether Mu Xin was pregnant or not, she would have to remarry according to the unwritten rules of the Taoist Alliance.
Then as members of the Lezheng tribe, they all have the possibility of becoming Mu Xin's second husband.
"The look in these people's eyes is really disgusting."
Yin Li couldn't help but complain.
They all knew this unwritten rule. Even if Mu Xin proposed to observe mourning for Le Zheng Yuhua, since they had been married for too short a time and Mu Xin was not pregnant, it might only be three months at most. Le Zheng would then come forward to find Mu Xin's next husband, and most of the candidates would be from Le Zheng's own company.
"Miss, you can delay it for three months. Your son-in-law will come back eventually."
"If I come forward and admit that my husband is dead, it means that I agree to announce that I am ready to get married. Since they are so eager to plot against him, they will not let me delay easily. Even if my husband comes back, he will no longer be my husband after a month. And I will no longer be the daughter of the Mu family, but the daughter of Le Zheng. Le Zheng has the right to intervene in my marriage according to the Taoist rules."
"Miss, even if you are not a Taoist, do you have to do this?"
Xiaomi asked in confusion.
"Although the young lady is not registered, she was born in the Mu family, a Taoist family. According to the rules, the master must report and make it clear that the young lady is not a Taoist. Otherwise, she will be considered one of the Taoists in the Taoist Alliance and will be bound by the Taoist Alliance's covenant.
Now that the Mu Mansion has been disbanded, according to the rules, the Taoists on the Mu Mansion's roster can choose to join other families. Those who do not join other families within a year will be regarded as vagrants.
As for the young lady, she had married Le Zheng long before that, and was now registered under Le Zheng's name, so she was under his jurisdiction, and even the master and the mistress could not interfere easily.
Unless Le Zheng Yu Hua chooses to divorce or divorce, and clearly returns the young lady to freedom, then Le Zheng can no longer control it. "
The Wu family had long been excluded from the ranks of Taoists by the Taoist Alliance, so the Wu family had long been considered what the Taoist Alliance called the common people, and generally were not under the jurisdiction of the Taoist Alliance.
Unless the warriors use magic, the Taoist Alliance can treat them according to the rules of ronin.
Therefore, Xiaomi and Xiaoyi don’t know much about the current rules of the Taoist Alliance. Fortunately, Yinli is the one among them who knows the rules of the Taoist Alliance best and can often explain them to them.
But after hearing these words, Xiaomi and Xiaoyi couldn't help but clench their fists, feeling dissatisfied with the women in the Taoist Alliance.
"This world is too unfair to women."
"It can't be helped. Most of the most famous Taoists are men. Compared to men, women do have disadvantages, such as physical strength, etc. You Wu family should understand this better.
Therefore, most female Taoist priests have to prepare to have children after getting married, and then they have to adopt them. They are forced to gradually distance themselves from the Taoist priests, and most of them can only retire. The time to become famous is really too short for female Taoist priests. "
"Because of this, I think female Taoist priests, especially those who can make a career in such a short time, are more powerful. Why can their achievements be erased so easily? Even if they give birth to or raise children, it is for the next generation of Taoist priests. Their achievements should be passed down for generations."
"People's eyes are most likely to see the first place, and no matter how hard they try, it is in vain. The Taoists who have made outstanding achievements were men at the beginning and are still men now. No matter how hard the female Taoists try, it is difficult to catch up. This is an inherent idea that has been in place for thousands of years."
Mu Xin noticed Yin Li's eyes, the unwillingness slowly turning into hatred, and she was worried that Xiaomi and Xiaoyi were too excited. After all, if they talked too much in front of the public, it would be easy for them to hear, so she stopped them.
"If you two are willing, then work harder and abolish these unfair rules."
“Maybe I can’t do it, but I am willing to contribute to Wuyi.”
"So does Takemi."
"Others are watching."
Xiaomi and Xiaoyi gave each other a fierce look in return, and then those gazes subsided a little.
After Le Zhengmin entered the cemetery, half a day had passed. Mu Xin and others were left in the courtyard for lunch. After lunch, Mu Xin had to meet the three elders to make up for the etiquette she had missed on the wedding day.
This is the name given to the outside world, but Mu Xin and others know exactly what it means inside.
Mu Xin was not afraid and took a few people to meet the three elders. This made Le Zhengzhi and Bai Zhi extremely worried. Le Zhengzhi even deliberately drank a few bottles of wine to block their way and took the opportunity to inform them, only to find out that they had already known about it.
"You all know why you're still going? You don't have an excuse, right? How about I find one for you?"
"Master is drunk, Le Ying, help him sit over there." Mu Xin deliberately said loudly. The little boy who brought them wanted to tell her that the elder wanted to see everyone, but Mu Xin didn't give him a chance and said directly, "We'll go first, you hurry up and follow us."
"Yes."
They didn't say anything and let Le Ying help Le Zhengzhi sit aside. Then they were about to leave. Le Zhengzhi grabbed her clothes, very worried.
"The elder clearly suspects you, why is he still..."
"They just suspect it, without any evidence. If we don't go, it will only make them more suspicious. So, we have to go."
"I was afraid you would be recognized."
"Will they recognize me in this state? Just like what the young lady said, as long as I am not afraid and hate, I can just treat it as meeting an elder of noble status. It's the first time, so it's okay to be a little timid."
Le Zhengzhi wanted to persuade her, but Le Ying noticed someone and didn't dare to say anything. She pretended to take care of him and called a passing Taoist apprentice Le Zheng to come over and hand Le Zhengzhi over to her. Le Zhengzhi saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he could only continue pretending.
Soon, Le Ying trotted to catch up with Mu Xin and the others and arrived at the door.
She pretended to be tired from running, stopped to catch her breath, then straightened her chest, returned to her seat, and walked forward with firm steps.
