Chapter 387 Leng Youxin Past

Vermilion Capital Palace

Zhu Yuhe, Zhou Xuan, and a few generals sat together in the meeting room, and their expressions looked gloomy as they listened to General Wang's report.

"How many villages fell victim to them?" Zhu Yuhe asked with a dark face, she didn't expect that the demons would dare to roam the southern continent again, and they had also killed so many people.

General Wang took a deep breath and replied. "So far, I've only found two villages that fell victim to them, Empress Yuhe. But we still have to check the various other villages, especially those located on the border of the Zhan and Huo Kingdoms."

'What do you think about this matter, Sister Xuan?' Zhu Yuhe asked Zhou Xuan, as she thought carefully about the demons' movements.

Zhou Xuan thought for a moment before answering her question. 'In my opinion, we can send some generals to inspect all the villages on the border of the two kingdoms, and we can ask Tian to order Huo Jin to inspect all the villages in the Huo Kingdom. As for the villages in the Shan Kingdom's territory, we don't need to pay any heed to them for now, since the problems in that country grew even bigger after we sealed off all their borders.'

'En, I agree with you.' Zhu Yuhe immediately contacted Xia Tian, ​​and he directly contacted Huo Jin according to her request, and she then spoke to her generals. "General Ling and a few other generals can go check out all the villages on the borders of the two kingdoms, Huo Jin will assist you guys later. As for General Xiao, I need you to check out the villages on the borders of the Shui Kingdom, and I will contact Shui Lihao to help you. Then, General Wan, you can go inspect the borders of the Zhu Kingdom."

"Yes!" After that, the generals immediately left the meeting room.

Zhu Yuhe leaned back in her chair and asked. "Do you think this demon matter has anything to do with Shan Lui, Sister Xuan?"

Zhou Xuan nodded to her. "That seems to be the case, Yuhe. We know that Shan Lui has ambitions to rule over the southern continent, and he still hasn't accepted you as Empress until now."

"It seems that we should get rid of Shan Lui soon, only then can the southern continent regain its calm." With a sigh, Zhu Yuhe said.

Xia Manor

"What's wrong with you, Ying'er?" Leng Youxin asked her daughter-in-law in surprise, she had just arrived at the Xia Manor, and Liu Ying hurriedly pulled her into the main hall.

Liu Ying sighed softly and replied to her. "I want to ask you about your actual matters with the Leng main family, Mother."

"Hmm?" Leng Youxin looked at her in surprise, as she didn't expect that Liu Ying would ask that. "What happened? Why did you suddenly ask about it?"

"This has something to do with Tian, ​​Mother." Liu Ying then explained to her the problems between Xia Tian, the Leng siblings, especially about Leng Shuang being trapped in an illusion by her son. She herself got this news from Mo Xiaoqi, because she asked her daughter-in-law to inform her if her son ran into trouble in the sect.

Leng Youxin's expression became complicated after she heard that, and she then fell silent for a long time. Moreover, she knew that his second grandson had changed a lot. He looks easygoing and nonchalant on the outside, but he is ruthless on the inside. Before long, she sighed heavily and said. "I'm sorry, Ying'er. But I haven't been able to tell you about my problems with the Leng main family; all I can hope for is that my brother doesn't have any problems with Tian."

After saying that, Leng Youxin got up and left the main hall, and Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh as her mother-in-law left.

"Why are you sighing like that, Ying'er?" Chen Xue asked as she walked into the main hall together with Xia Ning and Ran Qing. They then sat down in the empty seats, and Chen Xue asked again. "Did you just talk about something with our mother?"

"Yes, I asked about the matters between her and Leng main family, but she doesn't want to tell me about them." Liu Ying sighed softly and then told them about Xia Tian's situation.

Chen Xue and Xia Ning frowned at that, and Ran Qing just laughed in her heart at hearing people seek trouble with her brother-in-law.

Chen Xue then remembered something, and she said. "I once overheard our parents-in-law conversation; their problems are not much different from yours, Ying'er. Our grandfather-in-law actually wanted to marry our mother-in-law to a man from another family, but she firmly refused. However, he forced her to accept it, and he also threatened him to kill our father-in-law."

"Hmm?" Liu Ying and Xia Ning were shocked to hear that.

Chen Xue then continued. "Unlike you, who managed to escape from the Liu main family. Our mother-in-law was locked up in her room for quite a long time, and during the month of confinement, she refused to eat and drink, which made her condition very weak. One day, she overheard a conversation between her father and brother about them beating our father-in-law almost to death. It made her desperate, and she decided to commit suicide."

"What!?" Liu Ying and Xia Ning exclaimed in surprise; even Ran Qing was surprised to hear that.

"When her father found our mother-in-law, she was already very weak and close to death." Chen Xue sighed heavily before she continued. "After that incident, they managed to heal her, but she became like a living corpse. After thinking things over for quite a while, her father decided to bring her here. Even so, he still wasn't willing to bless her relationship with our father-in-law. Since then, our parents-in-law married without the Leng main family's blessing, and she decided to sever ties with the Leng main family."

After Chen Xue said that, Ran Qing then said. "Sigh, in all realms it's always the same, we women have always been used as a tool for exchanging power and prestige."
