While the imperial edict to enthrone Pang Jun was still on the way, in Liaodong, Pang Jun's peaceful life was disrupted by an uninvited guest.
In the morning, when Pang Jun was about to go to the trading floor for inspection, he was stopped on the road by a man dressed as a servant. He just showed Pang Jun one thing: Fei Qingyu's jade pendant. Pang Jun could only follow him obediently.
The two men came to a courtyard outside the city. The servant made a gesture of invitation to Pang Jun and said, "Master Liu, we are here. My master is waiting for you there."
Pang Jun looked in the direction of his gesture and saw a woman in the courtyard with her back to Pang Jun, looking at the falling leaves. She was wearing a lavender dress and a bun on her head. Her slender back was graceful and attractive, but she was not Fei Qingyu. So he suppressed his doubts and asked, "I don't know why this lady wants to see me?"
At this moment, the woman with her back to Pang Jun turned around and said with her cherry lips: "You are Liu Jun, Liu Ziye?"
Only then did Pang Jun see the woman in front of him clearly. She had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, a quiet and elegant temperament, and cloud-like hair floating in the wind. Between her eyebrows and eyes, Pang Jun felt like he had seen her somewhere before. He asked, "I am Liu Jun, Madam Unknown..."
"My husband's surname is Fei!" said Lady Lengyan.
Pang Jun suddenly realized. No wonder this woman looked like someone he had seen before. Her husband's surname was Fei. She must be Fei Qingyu's biological mother, Gu. He quickly bowed and said, "Junior Liu Jun, I am honored to meet Madam Fei. I wonder why Madam Fei came to Songzhou and found me this time?"
"Liu Jun, I want to ask you, how are you going to treat Yu'er?" Gu asked bluntly.
"Madam Fei, please be frank, Liu Jun and Miss Fei are good friends..."
Before Pang Jun finished speaking, Gu interrupted him and said, "Liu Jun, don't act crazy or stupid. After the Zu family was destroyed, my Yu'er has been with you all the time, but you are here talking about other things. What I want to ask you is, when will you marry my Yu'er?"
Pang Jun's eyes widened after hearing this. What was going on? It was more like he and Fei Qingyu were just getting what they wanted, especially recently, the four women in the family were pregnant, and Fei Qingyu liked to look for him for some reason, so the two of them had sex more often than before, but overall it was just to satisfy their desires. Neither he nor Fei Qingyu had any intention of getting married, but Fei Qingyu's mother found out about this and now she came to him directly. Thinking of this, Pang Jun couldn't help but have a headache.
Seeing Pang Jun didn't say anything, Gu still insisted: "Liu Jun, man, since you are in love with my Yu'er, you have to take this responsibility. This lady knows that you have many concubines, but Yu'er doesn't care. As a mother, I can't say anything, but if you drag it on like this, are you treating my Yanzhou Fei family as nothing? Today, you must give this lady an answer, either you marry my Yu'er openly, or you can't be ambiguous anymore!"
Pang Jun frowned, bowed to Gu and said, "Madam Fei, can the relationship between me and Miss Qingyu be resolved by myself? If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." After saying that, Pang Jun was about to turn around and leave.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" A sound of breaking through the air came along with the voice.
Pang Jun was shocked, he could not imagine that the delicate and beautiful woman was actually a martial arts master. When Gu's hand had already grabbed Pang Jun's shoulder, Pang Jun quickly relaxed his shoulder and dodged the grabbing hand. Then he felt a force coming towards his back, and he slapped the air with his backhand.
With a "pop", Pang Jun and the beautiful woman each took three steps back.
The beautiful woman asked in surprise: "What is your relationship with Gong Jinxiong?"
Pang Jun was stunned for a moment, then showed a strange smile, and did not directly answer Gu's question and said: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it, it's really a great hidden in the court, the wife of the eldest son of the Yanzhou Fei family, the most powerful family in Liaodong, is actually a princess of the Demon Cult. Interesting, very interesting."
When the beautiful woman heard Pang Jun's words, she was shocked and furious. Suddenly, she was filled with murderous intent and was ready to kill someone to silence him!
At this critical moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Mother, mother..." When Gu heard the shout, her murderous aura disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now, and the person standing in front of Pang Jun was still a weak and beautiful woman.
Fei Qingyu's pretty face appeared at the gate of the courtyard. She was very surprised to see Pang Jun. She ran over and asked Pang Jun, "Liu Jun, why are you here?"
Pang Jun smiled and said, "Mrs. Fei is worried that Miss Fei will make bad friends and go astray, so she came here to check and see who your friends are, right, Mrs. Fei?"
After hearing this, Fei Qingyu's expression changed slightly, and she said to Gu: "Mother, Yu'er has grown up, and mother always treated Yu'er as a child."
Mrs. Gu smiled, reached out her hand and touched her daughter who was almost a head taller than herself, and said, "No matter how old you are, you will always be my daughter. Can't I come and see my daughter?"
"Okay, okay, Liu Jun, didn't you say you had something to do today? Go away quickly and don't disturb me and my mother from spending time together." Fei Qingyu turned her back to Gu and kept winking at Pang Jun, signaling him to leave quickly.
Pang Jun smiled secretly and said, "Yes, I still have to go to the trading floor for inspection today. My colleagues there are still waiting, so I won't bother Mrs. and Miss Fei anymore. Goodbye." After that, he said goodbye to the mother and daughter and left.
After Pang Jun left, Fei Qingyu turned around and said to Gu with a little sadness: "Mother, why are you doing this? My daughter is living well and freely now. I don't want to be bound anymore."
"Fool, why are you doing this?" Gu originally planned to continue to persuade Fei Qingyu to resolve the matter between her and Pang Jun, but the martial arts that Pang Jun had just demonstrated were obviously very similar to those of the cult traitor "Iron Claw Exiled Immortal" Gong Jinxiong many years ago, and the fact that he revealed his identity was enough to prove that he was related to Gong Jinxiong, so she temporarily gave up the idea.
Fei Qingyu looked at Gu and sneered, "Bitter? How bitter is it? Ever since Brother Lin was killed by them three years ago and I married that loser Zu Yongxun, I don't know what bitterness is. I understand that as long as I don't confront them openly, they won't say anything even if I expose the truth. Isn't it good now? The Zu family was slaughtered by Liu Jun, and they will be upset if I marry him? Or is Liu Jun's current value more important than all the nobles in Liaodong?"
"You...ah..."
"Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good. Don't worry, I know what to do."
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Gu felt distressed but could do nothing about it.
Late at night, when Gu was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, and said to the maid beside her: "You all go back and rest, there is no need to serve here." After the maid left as she said, she said again, "Come out, this lady knows you are here."
"Hahahaha, Madam Fei has profound skills, and I admire her." Pang Jun sat on the windowsill of Gu's room and said with a smile at some point.
"Hmph, I never thought that the traitor Gong Jinxiong actually has a successor. Who is your master? No wonder, at such a young age, he already has a group of concubines at home, regardless of their ages. It turns out that he is the descendant of a generation of perverts. What's even more unexpected is that such a person is actually the official of a state. It's simply a laughing stock." Gu said sarcastically.
Pang Jun was not angry at all. He smiled and said, "Madam Fei, what you said is wrong. I and my concubine are in love with each other and rely on each other. If you don't believe me, you can go to my humble home and ask. On the contrary, the wife of the commander of Liaodong Province, the most powerful family in Liaodong, is actually a remnant of the long-lost Demon Cult. I am surprised. I am curious about where the leader of the Demon Cult, Gu Changsheng, has been since he fought with Zhao Wuji, the leader of Huangji Sect, ten years ago?"
Seeing that Gu looked unhappy, he said, "It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't tell me. I'm just curious. And judging from Miss Fei's appearance, she probably doesn't know Madam's true identity. As for Elder Fei and General Fei..."
"Father-in-law knows my real identity. After all, there are not many people in the world who can hide it from him. Don't make random guesses. If one day you reveal my identity, don't blame me for going all out. Although I am the princess of the Demon Cult, you are also the descendant of the lustful demon. No one is cleaner than the other! Since you recognized my 'Phantom Yin Hand' and Gong Jinxiong's unique move 'Finding Flowers in the Waves', it shows that you must be his descendant." Gu threatened.
"Since we both have leverage over each other, what is Madam's plan?"
"We don't interfere with each other. You continue to be an official in the court, and I am still the wife of the legitimate son of the Fei family in Liaodong."
Pang Jun nodded, rolled his eyes, and said, "Madam Fei, I have a suggestion."
Gu frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
"Since Madam Fei is the princess of the Demon Sect, she must be surrounded by a group of loyal 'chivalrous warriors'. So can I cooperate with you and share what we have?"
"Why? I have long stopped caring about the affairs of the martial arts world. I don't have any request for you to do anything..."
"Within three years, I will marry Qingyu." Pang Jun said to Gu.
Gu narrowed her eyes and looked at Pang Jun, saying, "Hehe, it seems that you, little fellow, are quite ambitious. However, you have a good plan. You married Yu'er and got her, but you still want those servants under my command?!"
"To be honest, I actually like Yu'er very much. If I marry Yu'er, then as her mother-in-law, it would be reasonable for you to give her some dowry and help your son-in-law." Pang Jun said shamelessly, and in his words, he changed his address to Fei Qingyu from "Miss Fei" to "Qingyu" and "Yu'er".
Seeing that Gu didn't say anything, he continued, "I know that Madam Fei is worried about Yu'er's lifelong happiness, but now Yu'er is very rebellious against the Fei family. As an outsider, I can't say anything. I can only accompany her all the time. One day, when her knot is untied, I will marry her. This will be good for everyone, isn't it?"
"Why should I believe you?" asked Mrs. Gu.
Gu asked such a question, in fact, she was already somewhat tempted. Pang Jun continued, "Since Madam has already made a rough guess about my identity, I believe that Master Fei will also know about this matter soon. According to Master Fei's methods, wouldn't it be easy to deal with a kid like me who is still wet behind the ears?"
"Yu'er wants to be the first wife..."
"That's absolutely impossible! Although Yu'er is the legitimate daughter of your Fei family, she has been married after all. Plus, with her personality, can she really be content to be the first wife?" Pang Jun did not elaborate, but Gu also knew Fei Qingyu's personality. "What's more, if Yu'er becomes the first wife, what will the court and His Majesty think? I will never have the chance to be promoted again!" Pang Jun said.
"I never thought that you are not only so lustful, but also so power-hungry."
"Mr. Fei turned a blind eye to the relationship between me and Yu'er. Isn't it just because he is interested in me? If I can't get promoted, will Mr. Fei still tolerate my relationship with Yu'er?" Pang Jun said.
Gu secretly took a deep breath and thought to herself: This boy is extremely smart. He can collect all the clues around him and infer everything that can be inferred. It's really scary. So she said: "Okay, this lady will not interfere with the relationship between you and Yu'er. I hope you can keep your promise and marry Yu'er within three years. As for those people you want, I will let them come to you when I return to Yanzhou."
"Thank you, ma'am, for your help."
"I'm tired. If you have nothing else to do, please leave." Gu ordered the guest to leave.
"Then I'll take my leave. Take care, madam." Pang Jun had no choice but to bow to Gu and left the room.
"Yuer, this is all mother can help you with..." Gu murmured as she watched Pang Jun's departing back.
