Du Shaotian stood up and adjusted his robe before opening the door.

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

The two maidservants didn't pay any attention to Du Shaotian. They carried two boxes of several pastries and porridge snacks, placed them on the table, and left.

"What an elegant young man."

As his eyes sized up Du Shaotian, Sikong Lan slightly smiled in a very amiable manner.

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

Seeing the beautiful woman's attire and temperament, as well as being somewhat similar to Li Ling'er's, he guessed that she was most likely Li Ling'er's mother, and thus was naturally his own mother-in-law.

Being called mother-in-law all of a sudden, even though he had made a lot of preparations, Sikong Lan still couldn't help but be surprised.

"After all, she was the marquis' wife, and her expression did not reveal anything. Sikong Lan secretly carried some curiosity as he asked," 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 in the whole of Fengling City besides my mother-in-law who is so beautiful and extraordinary."

Saying so, Du Shaotian took a big step forward and sat down. He was indeed a little hungry, so he started to gobble down the breakfast in large 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 …"

After hearing what Du Shaotian had said, even Sikong Lan, who was experienced and knowledgeable, was stunned. And these words, as a woman, made her happy.

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?

After secretly sizing up Du Shaotian, Sikong Lan 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 Lan did not know was that with the Ancient Heaven Shrouding Mantra that Du Shaotian practiced, restraining the aura was not something that she could detect.

Feeling Sikong Lan spying on him was not out of malice, he was just curious. Du Shaotian didn't care and continued to eat.

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

Sikong Lan entered the room but did not close the door. The surrounding servants had already instructed them to leave. 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 Shaotian said calmly as he ate. Since his mother-in-law had personally come to look for him, it would be strange if there was nothing at all.

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

Sikong Lan slightly smiled. His original plan had been messed up and he didn't want to beat around the bush. He said, "Yesterday's matter was related to the crown prince of Youguo. 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?"

As Du Shaotian ate, he spoke with a nonchalant manner.

However, Sikong Lan's expression kept changing as he listened to Du Shaotian's words. He was extremely shocked.

"What a clever child. I can't hide from you that much from my imagination. Ling'er and I did indeed intend to do so. I hope you can understand." Sikong Lan said, also not hiding anything.

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

Du Shaotian nodded. As the City Lord of the Fengling City and the daughter he held in his hands, he naturally wouldn't want to hand her over to a son-in-law that he picked up.

"As long as you understand, and don't know who else is in your family, I can discuss with the elders of your family about you marrying into our Li family." As long as you understand, and don't know who is in your family, and I can discuss with the elders of your family about you marrying into our Li family. "Therefore, I will send someone to take care of your family as soon as possible. I will protect your family in the future. After a few years, I will do my best to compensate your family so that you can live a life free of worries. What do you think?"

Sikong Lan also spoke up. The young man in front of her had surprised her and exceeded her expectations. Since she already knew what she was going to do, there was naturally no need to hide it any longer.

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

Du Shaotian shook his head.

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

Sikong Lan was very surprised. He had originally thought that this youth was a clever child, there wouldn't be any trouble if he were to be explained to him.

But if this youth didn't plan on marrying Li Ling'er, then the Li family would be in trouble.

"That's not what I meant. Although I did not mean it, it could still be considered fate for me and your daughter to marry each other. Therefore, the final outcome of this matter will be completely determined by your daughter, and I will not implicate her in the family. If she agrees, then I will marry your daughter into the Li family in glory, and we will be closer than ever. I will be dependent on my mother since I was young, and half of my servants will always be with me."

"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 Li Ling'er becomes my wife, the so-called Crown Prince will dare to have ill intentions towards my family and will immediately annihilate them. A mere Crown Prince of a small country, I don't even care about him."

"What …"

This time, Sikong Lan was completely astonished. He directly exterminated the crown prince of a country. His tone and manner did not seem like he was blabbering 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 Shaotian's words changed as he looked at Sikong Lan.

Sikong Lan was stunned again, he didn't know what Du Shaotian wanted to say.

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

"How do you know?"

Sikong Lan was stunned, the youth in front of her was not a cultivator at all. She had not used her Essence, so how could this youth see through her with a single glance?

He continued, "If I am not mistaken, my mother-in-law has been stuck at the ninth level of the Martial General Stage for at least three years and has been unable to step into the Martial Marquis Stage. Recently, she will occasionally have back soreness, fatigue, or even insomnia."

"How on earth did you know?"

At this moment, Sikong Lan was thoroughly shocked. She had been stuck at the ninth level for three years. Other than her husband, she had never told anyone else about this before.

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?"

A few handprints were made with some Yuan energy, which simultaneously landed on his back. He said at the same time, "Mister mother-in-law, there is no need to be nervous, I am only helping you to clear the acupoints of your body, the Wind Gate, and the kidney. The five elements are related to each other, and you are a fire element user, fire element cultivator, fire element cultivator, and wood element cultivator, which is like adding wings to a tiger." "Three years ago, you should have consumed a metal-type pill, causing an effect. You thought that you had already refined the pill, but you didn't know that the residual metal-type drug was hidden in your pillar, your Feng Men, and your Kidney; these three acupoints blocked your meridians. As a result, you were unable to step into the martial general realm for the past three years."
