Chapter 1121.
Mountain and Sea Realm, Wan Ling City.
In the Xu Family’s hall, Xu Xinlan was sitting on the main seat with a frosty face, not saying a word.
A charming middle-aged woman was chattering at her, “Xinlan, for Zhenren Wang to take a liking to you and want to take you in, that’s a heavenly blessing for you, you have to know how to cherish it!”
“You don’t look at how old you are and you’re a widow, he’s a Jindan real person ……”
“Sister-in-law, stop it!”
Xu Xinlan was bored to death and directly interrupted the other party’s ramblings, “Xinlan has already promised her body to someone, not to mention a Jindan Real Person, even if it’s a YuanYing True Immortal, I won’t be able to climb high.”
After a pause, she added, “Please go back and tell the clan that no matter what Zhenren Wang promises, I won’t agree!”
“You!”
The middle-aged woman instantly raised her eyebrows, a pair of triangular eyes transmitting a resentful and mean look, “Xu Xinlan, don’t be ignorant, what kind of character is Zen Master Wang, since he has his eyes on you, do you have any room to refuse?”
“You know what’s good for you, marry over obediently, then everyone’s face will look good, speaking of which, it’s also our Xu Clan’s luster.”
“Xu’s luster?”
Xu Xinlan was laughed at, “My husband died in the past, the family property was coveted by others, I had asked for help from the clan, what did the matriarch say at that time?”
“Married out daughter, splashed out water, they can’t control and don’t want to control!”
“Now talking about the Xu Clan, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
The middle-aged woman couldn’t help but be speechless, and then became irritated, “I won’t talk to you about this, anyway, the Wang Zhenren is ready to place the offer, and the Imperial Master has already agreed to it, so you have to marry, and you don’t have to marry!”
“In addition ……”
She laughed coldly, “Don’t expect the Yin family to help you, they can’t protect themselves now!”
After saying that, the middle-aged woman whisked her sleeves away.
Looking at the other party’s back as she left, Xu Xinlan’s heart went cold.
She felt like a moth that had fallen on a spider web, even if she struggled desperately, she was unable to break free from the silk threads that were entangled around her body.
Over the past years, the outside world had become increasingly dangerous, with constant natural and man-made disasters, evil spirits and demons, countless villages and fortresses had suffered, and it was unknown how many people had died miserably.
The situation in Wan Ling City was fine, after all, it was one of the nine cities of the Western Sea Sect’s outer gate, with strong defenses, and it was safe to live in the city.
But over the years, the Western Sea Sect had increased its taxation, and business had gradually become bad, and it was really not easy for Xu Xinlan, a widow, to support such a large family business.
Although she was taken care of by the Yin family, she originally had the favor of Wang Chuan, and Wang Chuan has been gone for nearly thirty years, this favor has long since become thin.
Xu Xinlan had no choice but to sell a few stores, barely maintaining the family business.
As a result, what she did not expect was that her original family, also known as the Xu Clan, had set their sights on this bit of her family business after moving into Wan Ling City from the outer city, and even wanted to marry her off to a newly-promoted Jindan as a concubine!
Xu Xinlan had deliberately inquired about that Wang Zhenren and knew that the other party’s character was extremely poor, not only did he like to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows, but he was also good at the way of harvesting tonic, and it was said that he was a watery product that relied on heavenly materials and treasures to condense dan.
Marrying such a person was undoubtedly jumping into a fire pit, and it would be difficult to live a few more years!
Xu Xinlan was very clear about Xu’s intentions, so how could she possibly agree!
Nay, she was weak, and although Xu did not have a Jindan, there were more than a dozen Purple Mansion cultivators, coupled with the elders of the clan pressing down, she had almost no possibility of resistance.
Today was another push from the Xu Clan, and Xu Xinlan felt that a noose had been tied around her neck.
There could be no more hesitation!
She got up with a huff and went back to her room to pack her bags, putting all of her valuable items along with the deed to her house and other things into a storage bag, ready to leave home and go out.
Xu Xinlan still had a small set of mansion in Wan Ling City, she could hide there, as long as she kept her door closed and didn’t see anyone, whether it was the Xu Clan or that Wang Zhenren, there was not much chance of finding her.
As for the mansion and the two stores, she could only give them up for the time being.
However, what she did not expect was that Xu Xinran had just returned to the hall, when she saw that there was an additional middle-aged cultivator with a cold and stern face inside, who was sitting grandly on the main seat and drinking tea.
“Fifth Uncle!”
Xu Xinlan’s heart sank violently.
The other party was none other than one of the Xu Clan’s Purple Mansions, and it was still a high-level Purple Mansion.
Although he was a kindred spirit, but truly speaking, Xu Xinlan was not familiar with this clan uncle at all.
And the appearance of the other party meant that the Xu Clan had completely torn its face off.
Xu Xinlan very much regretted that she shouldn’t have given up this bit of family business, and if she had left early, it might have been fine.
“Xinlan, where are you planning to go?”
The middle-aged cultivator put down his teacup and said with a leathery smile, “You’re going to get married soon, so it’s better to stay home and dress yourself up, in two days it will be an auspicious day for the zodiac, and Zenith Wang will send someone over to pick you up.”
Xu Xinlan’s eyes flared with a hint of anger, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists.
The middle-aged cultivator’s gaze condensed as he raised his hand at Xu Xinlan, and the latter was instantly unable to move.
Xu Xinlan bit her lips in death, she only hated that her cultivation was not high enough, she couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to fight for her life, her heart was filled with anger and sadness.
The middle-aged cultivator smiled smugly and continued, “Both of your parents are gone, so Fifth Uncle I’ll be your elder, you don’t need to care about things at home, I’ll send someone to take care of it.”
He looked at his cousin niece with teasing eyes, as if looking at a fish on a chopping board.
This matter had become settled, and there was no way to allow for a change of heart.
Xu Xinlan could only resign herself to her fate!
What happened next was logical.
With this high-ranking Purple Mansion personally in charge, Xu Clan’s people quickly took over the mansion, along with the stores under Xu Xinlan’s name.
As for Xu Xinlan herself, she was also locked up in her boudoir and not allowed to go out.
In order to prevent her from struggling to escape, the Xu family even placed a ban on her body, sealing her magic power!
Two days later, under the service of two maids, Xu Xinlan was forced to put on a big red wedding dress, and then sent on a sedan chair, blown and beaten by people to the Wang family.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Xu Xinlan’s heart was like ashes, the bright red rouge couldn’t even cover her miserable face.
“Wang Lang ……”
She closed her eyes and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
Nearly thirty years of hard waiting, Xu Xinlan didn’t even know if Wang Chen was still alive today, and she didn’t know if her persistence was meaningful.
If Wang Chen was still alive, would he still remember the agreement between the two of them?
And just as Xu Xinlan felt incomparable despair, the Flower Bridge suddenly stopped, and a clamor appeared in front of it.
Something happened?
Xu Xinlan abruptly opened her eyes, and a strong throbbing arose in her heart.
She felt that she was about to face a great change!
In the next moment, the sedan chair curtains lifted steeply.
