Chapter 20
Mrs. Wen was still asking Wen Shirui to talk, "Everyone in Ningcheng knows that the Wen family has no sons. In the future, the position of city lord will definitely be inherited by the son-in-law. Now your father has betrothed Wen Shiman to the Gu family, and the husband of the Gu family is so good that he will definitely succeed you.
"Father's position," Mrs. Wen sighed, "Shiman, I'm afraid things will be difficult for us and my mother in the future."
"Mother, Sister Shiman is not a narrow-minded person. We can live our lives how we want to live from now on. Don't think too much." Wen Shirui comforted her.
"You silly child, how can a daughter born from a person like Ruan be a kind person? Now she is just pretending in front of your father. When it comes time for her to marry into the Gu family, just look at what will happen to us,"
Mrs. Wen only felt that she had protected her daughter so well over the years that she had developed her inexperienced temperament. She knew very well that her daughter could not practice cultivation and was just a dispensable existence in the eyes of her husband, but she still wanted to
Planning for the future of himself and his daughter, "There are still many things to do at today's banquet. Let's leave it like this today. You go back to your room and get ready. Remember to wear that emerald butterfly hairpin. I like it."
Su Qiqi was still eating melon, but she suddenly felt energy fluctuations around her. The scene changed, and they actually arrived at the banquet that Mrs. Wen had mentioned.
"What's going on? Why did the scene suddenly change?" Su Qiqi had not yet come out of her dizziness, but Lin Qingxiao was obviously much calmer.
Lin Qingxiao frowned, "Maybe the owner of the illusion just wants to show us the important parts." If so, what is the purpose of setting up this illusion, just to let them see the history of the Wen family?
"Isn't this the time of the war between immortals and demons? Why can the Wen family still hold such a grand banquet? Isn't there anyone in Ningcheng participating in the war?" Su Qiqi was a little confused.
"Perhaps the moment of tension between the immortal and demon clans has not yet reached a point, but I know that Ningcheng contributed a lot in the war. It is recorded in the Apocalypse Annals. The Wen family has women who have achieved great achievements on the battlefield. It seems that the Ningcheng Gu family also has
I mentioned it, but it’s been too long and I can’t remember it clearly.” Tianqi Zhi contains too much content and is too complicated. Many of the things above are not yet known to be true or false. Lin Qingxiao has always read it as a pastime.
Wen Shirui cannot cultivate. The daughter of the Wen family in Qizhi that day must be Wen Shiman. Then who is it that the Gu family of Ningcheng is going to fight, Gu Heze? While I was thinking about it, the host of the banquet has already come out. The Lord of Ningcheng is a middle-aged handsome man.
, looked quite impressive. But Su Qiqi couldn't hear clearly what he said. Maybe the owner of this illusion was no longer thinking about her father at all.
Sure enough, Su Qiqi saw Wen Shirui staring at a man. The man was dressed in white and had an outstanding figure. Even among the young monks, there was a woman standing next to him. The woman was about the same age and appearance as Wen Shirui.
They are similar, but their posture is tall and straight, and their eyebrows are a little more heroic than Wen Shirui's. She must be Wen Shirui's sister, Shiman Wen. The two of them were talking and laughing, standing together was a pleasure to watch, and Wen Shirui almost felt envious.
turned into reality.
"Do you think that man is Shiman Wen's fiancé?" Su Qiqi poked Lin Qingxiao who was standing aside and motioned for him to look over, "It seems that the relationship between this family is complicated. The look in Shirui Wen's eyes clearly shows that
I have ulterior feelings for my soon-to-be brother-in-law."
Lin Qingxiao obviously had no interest in the relationship between the Wen family. She closed her eyes and rested her mind, trying to feel whether there was any aura in the illusion, but he obviously failed. This illusion seemed to be isolated from the outside world. There was no aura, and he could not feel the weakness of the illusion.
I still don’t know what the purpose of setting up this illusion is.
Seeing that Lin Qingxiao didn't answer, Su Qiqi had no choice but to give up and chose to continue eating.
Seeing that Shi Rui Wen was only interested in that man, Su Qiqi couldn't help but sympathize with this girl. The person she liked was her soon-to-be brother-in-law. After Shi Rui Wen got married, she would have to see her sister and the person she liked from time to time.
By the way, what a painful experience.
Wen Shirui was indeed in a low mood at this time. She withdrew her gaze and no longer paid attention to the situation on Shiman Wen's side.
Just when Wen Shirui was in a daze, a little maid accidentally spilled the wine on Wen Shirui's skirt while pouring her wine, "Second Miss, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."
However, Wen Shirui just waved her hand and was about to get up, but Aling stopped her, "Second Miss, your hairpin is a little crooked, let me straighten it out for you." After saying that, she adjusted the position of the hairpin, and then helped Wen Shirui get up.
.
From a third perspective, Su Qiqi saw something fishy. There was obviously nothing wrong with the hairpin, so why did this maid have to adjust the position of the hairpin for Wen Shirui?
Ah Ling helped Wen Shirui out of the banquet, and Su Qiqi and Lin Qingxiao had no choice but to follow.
Not long after she left the venue, Su Qiqi felt that the world was spinning. She hurriedly grabbed Lin Qingxiao to steady herself, "What's going on? Why did such a situation suddenly happen in this illusion?"
"It's not that there's something wrong with the illusion, but there's something wrong with Wen Shirui." Sure enough, Su Qiqi took a closer look and saw that Wen Shirui had fainted.
The world fell into darkness, "This illusion is so realistic that it even achieves the effect of fainting." Su Qiqi had thought that there was something wrong with the maid A Ling before, but she didn't expect that something like this would happen just after leaving the venue.
Who would drug Wen Shirui and what was the purpose?
But the answer was soon revealed. The darkness did not last long. As Wen Shirui woke up, Su Qiqi also saw the situation outside. This room was quite simple, but judging from the style, it should still be in the city lord's mansion. There were two people lying on the bed.
, besides Shi Rui Wen, there is actually another man, and that man is actually Shi Rui Wen’s fiancé.
What happened during the coma, and why could she not understand the plot for such a short time?
Wen Shirui didn't seem to understand what was going on. Seeing that her clothes were disheveled, she hurriedly started to work, only to find that there was another person beside her, "Brother Heze?"
The man suddenly woke up, and when he saw Wen Shirui's appearance, he quickly turned his head away with a look of disappointment on his face, "I didn't know Miss Wen had such a method, but I underestimated you." As he said this, he straightened his clothes.
When Wen Shirui heard Gu Heze call herself Miss Wen, she was about to cry, "And... Mr. Gu, I don't know what the situation is. I..."
Before Wen Shirui could finish speaking, the door was suddenly kicked open. The person who came was actually Wen Shirui. The scene in front of her was so impactful that even though Wen Shirui was a monk, she almost fainted. She was just about to ask.
What's going on? The mother-in-law who followed her shouted away, "Second girl, you are so shameless and hooked up with the husband of the Gu family. I will definitely seek justice from the city lord."
Charmaine Wen wanted to seal off the courtyard, but the woman's shout disrupted her plan. Seeing more and more people gathering in the courtyard, Charmaine Wen waved her sleeves and left.
