The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 154: Moon Concealing Stone, a Waste of Natural Resources?



Address location.

The jade mine is near a small town in the Northwest, named Jiujiang Town.

He had heard Shifang Taoist mention it before.

He mentioned searching for treasures there, but unfortunately, they were never found.

Could it be related to the jade mine?

Thinking of this.

Qin Feng said, "In that case, I'll take this jade mine."

"Don't just take that, take everything!"

Lord Dog stuffed the contract into his hands forcefully.

Seeing his resolute attitude, as if he would kneel down if Qin Feng did not agree, Qin Feng reluctantly took the gold mine as well.

"Speaking of which, didn't we cure the Second Lady Mu's illness? How come there's no one to greet us?"

Qin Feng wondered at this time.

"Mr. Qin, you might not be aware, but Mu Jiangyue has had it quite tough..."

Lord Dog started to explain with a sigh.

Years ago, Mu Jiangyue's parents had an accident, leaving her and her sister behind. Although they lived in the Mu Family Courtyard, everyone treated them as burdens and looked at them coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that the sisters were pretty and deemed potential assets for business-political marriages, they might have been discarded to distant relatives in the countryside long ago, left to fend for themselves.

As Mu Jiangyue grew up, her business acumen became increasingly prominent.

On several occasions, she saved the Mu Family from bankruptcy and turned things around.

The Mu Family's business operations grew more and more dependent on her.

Many major clients specifically requested to work with Mu Jiangyue, threatening to cancel the cooperation if the Mu Family were to replace her.

Over time.

She eventually took the position of the Mu Family Patriarch.

It could be said.

If not for Mu Jiangyue, even with the Mu Family's profound resources, given the incompetency of the past two generations, they wouldn't be part of the Eight Kings.

As the Mu Family's position among the Eight Kings became increasingly stable.

Over time.

The Mu Family began to feel that they were established enough that even without her, the Mu Family would remain strong. Her continuous presence undermined the hopes of the older relatives ever taking the position of Family Head.

This time was originally an opportunity to coerce her into marriage.

Once a girl is married off, like water thrown out, she can no longer hold power in the family.

"Unfortunately, the victor is you, Mr. Qin!" Lord Dog said, "Everyone knows you got married in Lake City, so the likelihood of Mu Jiangyue marrying you is much less, of course, there's also the thought that you might abandon your wife in Lake City and marry Mu Jiangyue..."

"No!"

"I know, I mean 'if'." Lord Dog said embarrassingly, "If you were to marry Mu Jiangyue, although it would fulfill the Mu Family's wishes, they would prefer to marry Mu Jiangyue into the Qian Family, as it would benefit the family's development more."

"I see."

Qin Feng finally understood the situation.

With that said, growing up in such an environment lacking in kinship, full of deception and scheming, and rising to the head of the family was indeed not easy for Mu Jiangyue.

No wonder Mu Jiangyue was willing to offer the Mu Family's treasure, the Moon Concealing Stone, to save her sister.

Because deep in her heart, her sister is her only kin in this world.

At this moment.

Mu Jiangyue came to the parlor and saw that they had no tea, she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I will bring tea for the three of you now."

"No need to be formal."

Su Ruolan quickly stood up.

"Mrs. Qin, please take a seat, I'll handle it."

Mu Jiangyue said.

Mrs. Qin?!

Su Ruolan was startled, then her face flushed red, and she quickly said, "You misunderstood, I, I'm not his wife..."

"Ah?"

Mu Jiangyue blinked in confusion, "Then why..."

Su Ruolan knew she wanted to ask why previously, when she kneeled and begged Qin Feng, he did not agree, but after she said a word, Qin Feng agreed to help treat her.

To be honest.

Su Ruolan herself didn't know why.

For this reason.

During Qin Feng's treatment, she was secretly delighted in her heart.

This showed that she held a certain importance in Qin Feng's heart.

"Sorry, I misunderstood..."

Mu Jiangyue hurriedly responded after coming back.

After making tea.

She took out a delicate wooden box and, with both hands, handed it to Qin Feng, saying, "This is the 'Moon Concealing Stone' of our Mu Family, given to you as a reward!"

Qin Feng unceremoniously accepted it.

He came to the Mu Family precisely for this stone.

Opening the box.

A similar aura immediately rushed to his face.

"What's this smell? It smells like herbal medicine."

Lord Dog, covering his nose, said, he wasn't particularly interested in herbal medicine.

However, Su Ruolan, at this moment, was amazingly wide-eyed, her normally calm eyes shimmering with astonishment.

Having dealt with herbal medicine all these years, she immediately felt an indescribable closeness to this aura.

This feeling was like, a book lover seeing a bookstore.

A food enthusiast suddenly spotting a food street ahead.

It was exhilarating.

The Moon Concealing Stone was only half the size of a palm.

Shaped like a crescent moon.

One side was engraved with the character "Conceal," the other with "Moon," hence it was named the Moon Concealing Stone.

Where it came from, no one knew.

But there were rumors that it was a stone left behind by an ancient medicinal immortal, which is why it carried the aura of a medicinal immortal.

Of course.

Are there really immortals in this world?

Thus, its true origin was unknown.

"This stone doesn't seem as powerful as I imagined."

Qin Feng said, frowning at this moment.

Mu Jiangyue nodded, "Yes, originally the aura of the Moon Concealing Stone was very strong, but over the years I have asked masters to infuse the stone's aura into the medicine field, so the quality of our Mu Family's medicinal materials is top-notch nationwide."

"You are really squandering a heavenly resource!"

Qin Feng exclaimed in amazement.

"Oh?"

Mu Jiangyue was puzzled.

Initially, the Mu Family treated the Moon Concealing Stone as a normal treasure, since there were many treasures with Spiritual Energy on the black market.

It was Mu Jiangyue who discovered its utility for the growth of medicinal materials.

She specifically spent a lot of money to invite a master from the Hidden World to absorb the aura from it for their family's Medicine Field.

This improved the quality of their medicinal materials.

And thus, it also earned them a place among the Eight Kings.

Was this really squandering a heavenly resource?

"If used properly, this stone could perhaps cultivate soil and environments suitable for the growth of rare medicinal materials."

Qin Feng said.

"What?!"

Mu Jiangyue's eyes widened in shock.

Not just her.

Even Lord Dog and Su Ruolan were equally astounded.

Rare medicinal materials are indeed scarce, either found in deep mountains and old forests or in uninhabited cliffs and steep terrains, and their growth environments are very harsh.

Moreover, as time goes on, the quantity of rare medicinal materials will only decrease, making their prices frightfully high.

If they could be cultivated, one can imagine the tremendous prospect!

"Unfortunately, the aura of this stone has dissipated too severely." Qin Feng then sighed regretfully, "I'll take it back and think of a solution first."

He placed the Moon Concealing Stone back into the box and covered it.

After Mu Jiangyue's astonishment, she regained her composure and said, "Next, comes the second reward."

Saying this.

She handed the pre-prepared marriage contract agreement to Qin Feng.
