Du Shaomu stood up, straightened his clothes and opened the door.

beautiful woman stood outside the door with a smile on her face. Although she was no longer young, she had a graceful and well-maintained look. She looked to be in her early thirties, exuding a mature charm.

The two maidservants ignored Du Shaomu and carried two boxes of breakfast, which contained several kinds of pastry and porridge. After placing them on the table, they left.

"What an elegant young man."

Sikong Lann looked at Du Shaomu and smiled kindly.

"You must be my mother-in-law. This is your house, so of course you can come in."

Du Shaomu did not stand on ceremony as well. Looking at beautiful woman's clothing and temperament, as well as her resemblance to Lee Ling'er, he guessed that she must be Lee Ling'er's mother. Naturally, she was also his mother-in-law.

Sikong Lann couldn't help but be taken aback by the sudden call of her mother-in-law. Even though she had made quite a few preparations before coming here.

She was, after all, the marquis' wife, and her complexion was unreadable. Sikong Lann asked curiously, "How do you know I'm Ling'er's mother? Have we met before?"

"We've never met before, but I don't think there's anyone else besides my mother-in-law in this entire Fengling City who's so beautiful and extraordinary."

Saying that, Du Shaomu did not hold back and sat down in big steps. He was indeed a bit hungry and ate breakfast in big mouthfuls.

In his previous life, the two spirits didn't need to eat grains and grains, but their bodies were still weak. They hadn't eaten since yesterday.

"Ugh …"

Hearing Du Shaomu's words, even though Sikong Lann was experienced and knowledgeable, she was still stunned. As a woman, she was happy to hear Du Shaomu's words.

Looking at this youngster, he seemed relaxed. Although his clothes were plain and simple, one could faintly sense that free and easy temperament that could not be hidden. His eyes were clear and deep. Was this really an ordinary person without any training that he had heard of?

Sikong Lann sized up Du Shaomu and became more and more surprised. This youth did not have any Yuan Qi on him, which proved that he was not a cultivator.

However, what Sikong Lann did not know was that with Du Shaomu's Ancient Heaven Shrouding Mantra, restraining his aura was not something she could detect.

Du Shaomu felt that Sikong Lann was not spying on him out of curiosity, so he didn't mind and continued to eat.

"What a clever young man, he sure knows how to talk. Let me introduce myself. My name is Sikong Lann, and I'm also Ling'er's mother. It can be said that I'm indeed your mother-in-law."

Sikong Lann walked into the room, but she didn't close the door. The servants in the room had already ordered their servants to leave, and no one was nearby.

"My mother-in-law must have come looking for me for a reason, so please feel free to tell me."

Du Shaomu said calmly as he ate. Since his mother-in-law came to find him personally, it would be weird if she had nothing to say.

"It looks like a smart kid, so I won't beat around the bush."

Sikong Lann slightly smiled. Her original plans had been disrupted and she did not plan to beat around the bush. She said, "Yesterday's Ling'er's mess was related to the Yuv state crown prince. Do you know about it?"

"Your daughter didn't want to marry that crown prince, so she asked me to be her scapegoat, for heaven and earth to testify against her. Since things have come to this point, you all have no choice but to act out the whole plan, so I hope that you all can cooperate with me. It would be best if you could put on a show and reply to that crown prince. After a while, if everything is calm and people forget about you, then you can just let me leave, okay?"

Du Shaomu said as he ate. He didn't seem to care at all.

However, Sikong Lann's expression kept changing as she listened to Du Shaomu. She was shocked.

"What a clever child. I won't hide anything from you. Ling'er's father and I did intend to do this. I hope you can understand." Sikong Lann said. She didn't try to hide anything from him.

"Of course you understand. As parents, you naturally want to do this."

Du Shaomu nodded. As a city lord of Fengling City, a daughter that was in his hands would naturally not want to really hand over to a son-in-law that he picked up.

"It's good that you understand, you don't know who else is in your family, so I can discuss the matter of you marrying into our Lee Family with your family's elders. This matter originally has nothing to do with you, but now that Ling'er is causing trouble, even if it involves you, the crown prince won't let it go easily. "So, I'll send people to take care of your family in Fengling City as soon as possible, and I'll definitely protect your family in the future. After a few years, I'll do my best to compensate your family so that you'll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your lives. What do you think?"

Sikong Lann also started to speak. The young man in front of her surprised her beyond her expectations. Since she already knew what she was going to do, there was no need to hide it any longer.

"No, you may have misunderstood, but I'm not going to cooperate."

Du Shaomu shook his head.

"Aren't you going to marry Ling'er?"

Sikong Lann was very surprised. She had originally thought that this youth was a clever and clever child.

But if this youth did not plan to marry Lee Ling'er, then Lee Family would be in trouble.

"That's not what I meant. Although I did not mean it, it could still be considered fate for your daughter, so the final result of this will definitely be your daughter, and I will not marry her into Lee Family. If your daughter agrees, then I will marry her into my clan in glory, and in the future, I will consider you two to be my close relatives. I grew up with my mother, and I have half a servant by my side, so I can make the decision."

"As for the Crown Prince you're worried about doing harm to me and my family, I can be very responsible and say that as long as Lee Ling'er becomes my wife, the so-called Crown Prince will not have any bad intentions in the future. If he dares to touch a single hair on my family's head, he can just annihilate them. I don't even care about a small country like the Crown Prince."

"What …"

Sikong Lann was completely shocked. He had just exterminated the crown prince of a kingdom. His tone and demeanor didn't seem like he was talking nonsense at all.

That young man was sitting quietly at the moment, giving her the aura of someone who could kill a crown prince of a country with a flip of her hand!

"My mother-in-law has a great talent in martial arts."

Suddenly, Du Shaomu looked at Sikong Lann and changed the subject.

Sikong Lann was stunned again. She didn't know what Du Shaomu wanted to say.

"My mother-in-law cultivates fire and wood origin energy, but mainly wood origin energy." Du Shaomu said faintly.

"How do you know?"

Sikong Lannzhen was stunned. The young man in front of her was not a cultivator and she had never used her Essence. How could this young man see through her with a single glance?

Du Shaomu did not directly answer Sikong Lann's question, and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, my mother-in-law has already been stuck at the ninth level of the Martial General Stage for at least three years, unable to step into the Martial Marquis Stage. Recently, her waist and back would occasionally ache, and she would even feel slightly tired, and she might not even be able to sleep."

"How on earth did you know?"

At this moment, Sikong Lann was completely astonished. She had been stuck at the ninth level for three years, and other than her husband, she had never told anyone else about this.

Especially recently, she felt her waist and back aching, as well as fatigue and insomnia. That was something her husband didn't know, but the young man in front of her was able to see through her with a single glance.

"Don't care how I know. You are my mother-in-law, and you have eaten your breakfast. Since your son-in-law has not yet sent you a gift, why don't you give him a gift as a token of your goodwill?"

Under Sikong Lann's astonished gaze, Du Shaomu stood up and took a strange step forward. He stood behind Sikong Lann, forming a seal with his hand, and several finger prints containing Essence simultaneously landed on her back, saying, "Mother, there is no need to be nervous, I'm only helping you to open up a few acupoints in your body. The Wind Door is just a few meridians in your body, and the five elements are at odds with each other. "Three years ago, you should have consumed a metal attribute pill, causing an impact. You thought that you had already refined its medicinal effects, but did not know that the metal attribute medicinal effects were still hidden in your body's three acupoints, the Wind Gate and the Kidney, blocking your meridians. As a result, you were unable to step into the Martial General Stage for the past three years.
