3259 The Past

“Didn’t you say Ji Ying is very popular in the Magical Equipment Division? Why…” Feng Wu asked curiously.

Aunt Qing told her seriously, “Ji Ying is indeed an impressive figure here, and many girls are secretly in love with him, but he’s… Listen to me. Don’t fall for him. He doesn’t have a conscience!”

Aunt Qing then whispered something in Feng Wu’s ear.

She cried out and looked at Auntie Qing. “How could he do such a thing?!”

Auntie Qing said, “Right? He’s definitely not an ideal candidate!”

Feng Wu nodded and told Auntie Qing what she had seen at Mo Ziming’s place.

Auntie Qing laughed coldly. “Ji Ying is taking advantage of his master’s reputation. Good for him. He even dares to ridicule Master Wang.”

Feng Wu said curiously, “Master Wang and Master Duanmu seem to have a grudge against each other.”

Aunt Qing let out a long sigh. “This is a story from a long time ago. If you were to ask someone else, they might not be able to tell you. Only the older generation of inscription masters know. These newcomers have no idea.”

Feng Wu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Auntie Qing.

What could Auntie Qing hide from her?

She told Feng Wu that while this Master Duanmu was good at inscriptions, he wasn’t a good person.

Back then, Master Duanmu and Master Wang were fellow disciples. Their master also had a female disciple, and the two young men fell in love with her.

However, the girl liked Master Wang.

No one knew what Master Duanmu did next, but he forced his junior sister to marry him.

She frowned. “Did she marry him in the end?”

“She did.” Aunt Qing sighed. “After they were married, Master Wang left his hometown and never returned. After Master Duanmu finally forced his junior sister to marry him, he didn’t treat her well and married another wife.”

“Wife? How can she be a wife?” Feng Wu frowned. “He already has an official wife. Other women can only be concubines, right?”

Aunt Qing nodded. “But Master Duanmu raised that lady’s status despite that, giving her the title of Madam Ru. That’s the same as making her another wife.”

Feng Wu nodded.

Master Duanmu was clearly unsatisfied with his first wife.

“And?” She had a feeling she was about to hear a melodramatic story.

As expected, Aunt Qing told her, “Later on, Madam Ru became very powerful. She was Master Duanmu’s favorite, and he spent all day in his room learning inscriptions. Madame Ru actually tortured the junior sister until the latter became sick. At that time, the junior sister was already pregnant, and the mistreatment caused her to miscarry. Just when she needed to recover from it, Madam Ru deliberately created an accident and made her fall into the stream. It was winter at that time.”

She asked, “Did Master Duanmu know about this?”

Auntie Qing slammed the table angrily. “Is he dead? He’s a living person. His wife was tortured to this extent in front of him, and he wasn’t blind. He must know, but he just acquiesced.”

Feng Wu frowned. “That’s worse than killing her. Master Duanmu went too far.”

Auntie Qing said, “He was taking revenge because she was in love with Master Wang before they were married. Any girl can fall in love with one or two talented young men before they get married. Right, Xiao Wu?”
