Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

"Given that you still harbor rebellious thoughts, I will punish you even more severely today, giving you a thousand lashes."

Chapter 345 Accepting the Commission

Du Weixiang pouted, her face full of grievance. He Yuzhu was such a sleazy man, testing her again and again.

But he himself had been fooled.

Fortunately, I returned the scissors at the most crucial moment; otherwise, I can't imagine what the consequences would have been.

He had no right to refuse, even though he had been whipped more than a thousand times. Since He Yuzhu had chosen to continue, he could only endure it.

It's a pity that she has fair skin and beauty, and her family has great power in Southeast Asia, yet this was just a simple mission.

My senior brother died tragically, my grandfather was imprisoned, and I was turned into a toy.

Du Weixiang was kept awake until midnight before she finally fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, she saw that He Yuzhu was still fast asleep.

"Hey, wake up, it's dawn."

He Yuzhu then opened his eyes and asked, "You really want to go back to the basement?"

Du Weixiang's lips curled up in a wide smile, her face full of unhappiness: "Can I not go?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Remember your place. You are just my prisoner."

Du Weixiang became even more unhappy and reached out to pat He Yuzhu's bare shoulder.

Then he asked, "I don't even know your name, and where my grandfather is. How can I get rid of this prisoner's status?"

He Yuzhu then remembered that he hadn't introduced himself to Du Weixiang, so he just said his name.

"Your grandfather is being held in another place, and you'll never see him in your life. As for his status as a prisoner?"

"What do you want?" Du Weixiang asked hurriedly.

"Unless you give me three or five children and truly submit to me, then I might make you my 18th concubine."

"you..."

Du Weixiang is in bad shape, so having a child with He Yuzhu is barely acceptable, since He Yuzhu has already taken her virginity.

But to become one of the eighteen concubines? Upon hearing this, Du Weixiang had no way of accepting it.

In the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu must have been joking with himself.

But Du Weixiang felt that having three or five children was a bit too many.

"I'm still a child, and you expect me to have your babies? Three or five?"

He Yuzhu said, "We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, you're not going to be free anytime soon."

Du Weixiang's pretty face immediately fell. Not being able to gain freedom meant that she would still have to live in the basement cage.

Eating, drinking, sleeping, and even defecating and urinating all have to be done in that small space.

Regardless of his thoughts, He Yuzhu reached out and touched his lower abdomen, exhaled her vital energy, and sealed her dantian again.

Du Weixiang, looking unhappy, was ushered into the cell by He Yuzhu, who instructed her, "There's no time today. I'll make two more rooms for you next to it later, one as a kitchen and the other as a bathroom."

Du Weixiang looked around at the steel cages and shouted, "This is still a prison cell. Just let me live in the villa. You've sealed my vital energy. Even if I wanted to run away, I couldn't escape this capital city."

He Yuzhu shook his head; this was a bit too risky.

He had Du Weixiang under his control, and no one knew it. Although it would be easy to catch him if Du Weixiang really wanted to escape, it would be difficult to explain to his superiors.

At the time, it was said that Du Weixiang and his grandfather had run away. Wouldn't that expose the lie?

He Yuzhu now feels that he has too few helpers, and the only one with the ability to use force is Zhao Yuezhen.

She also had to protect the Xu Huizhen sisters, and had no spare energy to guard Du Weixiang.

Moreover, he didn't want Du Weixiang to enter his home for the time being, so he could only let her stay here for the time being.

He Yuzhu still had a headache. If there was an extra person in the basement, his wife would have to come over later, and the whole thing would be exposed.

"You can stay here for now, and we'll see how you behave later."

Du Weixiang gave a wronged "oh," and He Yuzhu closed the door and left.

He owned several houses, each with a cellar underneath, but those were all very small.

Aside from the villa, only the basement of the small Western-style house is relatively spacious.

He Yuzhu went to the basement of the small villa, made some modifications, and set up the bed and food before releasing Du Weixiang's grandfather, Du Guanghe.

Upon waking up, I immediately felt that my dantian was sealed, and I couldn't use any of my vital energy.

He demanded, "What have you done to my granddaughter?"

"Nothing's wrong. Du Weixiang is eating and drinking well and sleeping well, so Du Guanghe, you don't need to worry."

Du Guanghe narrowed his eyes, his face full of hatred. He had only said Ah Xiang's name out of turn.

The fact that He Yuzhu can now say Ah Xiang's full name and even call out his own name means that Ah Xiang has already confessed.

Du Guanghe didn't dare to think about whether there was any beating, torture, or even humiliation, or whether his granddaughter was subjected to any thuggish methods.

"Damn it, what did you do to her?"

He Yuzhu said, "Your granddaughter has confessed. I have prepared three days' worth of food for you. Write down all your martial arts techniques within three days. I will ask your granddaughter to confirm them. If they are different, don't blame me for using force."

"you..."

He Yuzhu was too lazy to waste words with him. Du Weixiang could be arranged into any shape at will, so why bother arguing with an old man? If he didn't give in, he could just starve for a while.

Two days later, He Yuzhu arrived at the basement of the villa. There wasn't a strong smell. When Du Weixiang saw He Yuzhu, she urged him to open the cage so she could take a shower.

When she came to the bedroom after taking a shower, He Yuzhu was leaning against the headboard, comparing the two manuscripts.

Du Weixiang climbed up naturally and then saw her grandfather's handwriting.

Now he could confirm once again that his grandfather had also fallen into He Yuzhu's hands and was still alive.

Are the two testimonies identical?

"It's basically the same, except that your grandfather wrote some parts rather vaguely."

He Yuzhu pointed out some deliberately overlooked aspects of the technique, saying, "It seems your grandfather is still up to his old tricks."

Du Weixiang shook his arm and said coquettishly, "My grandpa didn't mean it. I'll do whatever you want. Please don't torture my grandpa, okay?"

He Yuzhu discovered that the other party's technique was different from what he had learned.

I learned martial arts to enter the Tao, and through practicing boxing, I mobilized my vital energy and promoted its cultivation and growth.

Du Guanghe's lineage does indeed resemble Taoist practices, involving meditation and circulating vital energy for cultivation.

Not only are the techniques different, but the martial arts styles are also different.

The saying "Southern fists and Northern legs" is widely circulated.

You can tell just by looking at the boxing styles they've learned: Hung Kuen, Lau Kuen, Choi Kuen, Lee Kuen, and Mok Kuen all learned routines.

There are other martial arts techniques, but since it's still early, neither of them has had time to memorize the specific routines.

"Then it depends on your performance."

Du Weixiang leaned into He Yuzhu's arms and said sweetly, "Isn't it enough that I'll do whatever you say?"

He Yuzhu released the seal on his vital energy and said, "Come on, let's cultivate together first, and then you can teach me the fist techniques."

Du Weixiang had no choice but to feign compliance and help He Yuzhu strengthen his forces.

After the dual cultivation was finished, the teaching of boxing techniques began. After teaching for an hour, before there was even a chance to rest, He Yuzhu pulled her to the bed again.

He was either practicing dual cultivation or being taught martial arts techniques, and then his dantian was sealed and he was sent to prison.

Du Weixiang felt like she was a tool, which He Yuzhu would take out and use repeatedly when needed.

After he finished using it, he put himself back in the cell.

Only when He Yuzhu came over did they have the opportunity to move around freely in the villa.

After many days, Du Weixiang gave up hope. She had no chance of escaping. She wanted to wait for her family to rescue her, but even if they did, she might have already given birth to He Yuzhu's child by then.

Du Guanghe was starved by He Yuzhu and didn't drink water for three days. Then he honestly wrote down everything that he hadn't explained clearly.

He Yuzhu was finally satisfied. After all, Du Weixiang was only at the peak of the Dark Force realm and didn't know many things.

Du Guanghe was more knowledgeable and experienced than Du Weixiang, and was at a higher level. Whether it was in terms of martial arts techniques, experience, or various kinds of knowledge, Du Weixiang could not compare with her grandfather.

He Yuzhu has been focusing his attention on the two of them these days. Although there are various problems in the machinery factory, He Yuzhu has not interfered too much.

He Yuzhu was more captivated by the dual cultivation and various martial arts techniques.

While he was studying martial arts techniques in his office that day, the phone rang. The security guard informed him that a leader was coming to inspect the place.

When He Yuzhu came out of the office building, he saw an unexpected guest.

It turned out to be Meng Tingfei, the head of the Seventh Section of the Security Department, who came to visit.

"Director He, was it an accident?"

"It's Section Chief Meng. Welcome to our machinery factory for an inspection."

He Yuzhu was just saying that, knowing the other party was definitely not interested in the workshop, so he invited Meng Tingfei to his office.
