The thirty-third winter of Qing'an.

Xue Ling, the witch lord of Jiangling, was involved in a murder case.

An ordinary murder case involving the only witch master in Jiangling, under the deliberate rendering, soon spread throughout the entire country of Li.

A family of witch doctors jointly condemned it.

Xue Ling took the initiative to remove the position of the witch master.

However, the people's agitation could not be calmed down for a long time.

Under the oppression of many forces, Xue Ling took poison and apologized.

When Xue Ling was dying, it was snowing heavily.

In the vast white expanse, as far as the eye could see, she fell into the snow in the courtyard, dressed in black clothes, spread out.

The black clothes reflect the white snow, which looks very conspicuous and distinct.

She lifted her eyes, stunned.

just sighed lightly, "If the things of this world are as black and white as this, it would be good." ”

The voice was very faint, almost murmuring.

It's a pity that once the things of the world involve the entanglement of interests, then black and white are reversed, and it becomes the norm.

She didn't commit a murder, but she was powerless to defend herself.

Behind her was the sound of approaching footsteps, and she didn't have to look back to feel the gentle and watery face.

This was a face she had trusted, but now, she felt disgusted even by looking at it more.

The familiar delicate voice came from behind itself, "Sister, I'm here to see off the third sister for the last time." ”

Said with a sarcastic smile, "Black and white? Is there anything black and white in this world? At the beginning, everyone praised you for your talent and intelligence, and women did not let you shave your eyebrows, but now they are accusing you of poor mental skills and harming people's lives, who would have expected that, but overnight, the former Jiangling witch lord who helped the world and saved people has now become a wicked woman who plagues the land of Jiangling! ”

Xue Ling exhaled softly and didn't say anything.

The voice continued, "In the past, when you were highly sought after, you said that you were just an ordinary little woman, and others didn't believe it, but now, you say that this murder has nothing to do with you, who believes it? Which is true and which is false? What's right and what's wrong? It's just that the winner is king, and the loser is the villain, good sister, you don't really think that you can sit on the throne of the witch master with your talent for medicine alone! If you were obedient and abdicated early to marry, why did you end up in this step? ”

The person who spoke was none other than Xue Ling's cousin Xue Lian.

Xue Lian was dressed in Ayaluo, her delicate figure was wrapped in red feather satin, the pearl on her head made a pleasant voice, and a pair of eyes as gentle as water looked at Xue Ling condescendingly.

The eyebrows and eyes are smiling, and the words are soft.

Xue Ling just chewed the eight words that came out of Xue Lian's mouth.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

Yes, the emperor's family, even if it is close to each other and involves a dispute over the throne, it is just a matter of life and death.

And the family of witch doctors, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has been impregnated with power and interests to this day, and has long forgotten the original intention of helping the world and saving people.

The cold gaze spread, of course she knew that she was stepping into that high position step by step, not because of her talent for studying medicine, but more because of the selfish motives of several close relatives in the clan.

At that time, she knew that she was just a stepping stone for the two uncles to fight for power and profit, but her eyes were full of deceit under the struggle of interests, could she protect herself by abdicating and marrying?

Behind this seemingly family-to-family dispute, she knew that there were more forces secretly involved.

Being in a high place, once she falls, she will be crushed, she has no way out, there has never been a way out.

Xue Ling opened her mouth, unable to say a word, her slender figure crouched in the snow, looking like she was dying.

Xue Lian pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was extremely bright, but her words were extremely cold, "Good sister, do you know?" What are the villagers who used to think of you as their residence do to you now, they jointly petitioned, asking the Xue family to bring you to justice, the verbal abuse is extremely vicious, and Daddy has no choice, so he must always think about the Xue family. Good sister, even if you die, don't die in this courtyard and harm the Xue family. ”

Xue Ling closed her eyes gently.

She remembered what her mother had said before she died, "To practice medicine to help the world, you need to specialize in medicine, and this way of witchcraft is demagogic and will not last long after all." ”

This sentence made the mother an outlier in the family of witch doctors.

The family of witch doctors can have a foothold in this Jiangling area and even the entire country of Li, relying on this almost worshipful people's heart.

however

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

Xue Ling had expected this truth a long time ago.

However, the whole country believes in witch doctors, and the way of witchcraft is orthodox, and it is even more difficult to abandon it.

Now, she is more and more affirmative of her mother's prophet.

It's a pity that at this moment, whether it is the Xue family or the witch doctor family in the entire Jiangling land, the next fate is no longer something she can worry about.

She can control witchcraft, but she can't control people's hearts.

The girl who followed Xue Lian said, "Girl, what are you still talking to her here, the princess invites you to enjoy the snow today, let's go quickly, we will see you then."

The girl hasn't finished yet.

Xue Lian had already laughed, different from her previous appearance, Xue Lian's face was now covered with a layer of shyness.

She whispered in disgust, "What nonsense, my cousin has been very busy lately, where can I see it if I want to?" ”

When Xue Ling heard this, she just smiled sadly.

Xue Lian is already considered to have some insight and brains among the sisters, but after all, she has the common problem of her daughter's family, and as far as the eye can see, it is limited to the back house.

The tide between various interests is turbulent, and the whole Gangneung is going to be turbulent, and in the hearts of the girls, it is just the love between the children and daughters of the inner house.

It's a pity that even if you die.

Whether it is Xue Lian or the third uncle, they still can't get their wish.

Or to put it more broadly, this time, the entire Xue family, and even the entire Jiangling witch doctor family, can't be left alone.

She had expected this, and she was always worried because of her heavy responsibilities.

Now she doesn't care.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. The third uncle thought that if he pulled her down this time, he would be able to sit firmly in the position of the witch master, but he didn't know that the position of the witch lord would not be stable no matter who it was.

Xue Ling felt the shyness of Xue Lian's little daughter, and couldn't help but sigh.

I only feel that this is the sorrow of a woman, no matter how smart a girl is, after all, her vision is limited, she vaguely remembers that her mother once said something to her, "I used to feel that giving birth to children is the same, and now, A-Niang has to admit that men and women are different, after all, they are different." ”

My mother has always done her own thing, smiling and smiling, even when my father was seriously ill, my mother never complained about it, such sad words. Mother only said it once, so Xue Ling remembered it clearly, because, after her mother said this, she left a few days later.

Even if Xue Ling is unwilling, she has to admit that even if her talent is unmatched, even if her witch doctor skills are unrivaled in the Xue family, she is only a daughter's family, even if she sees through everything, she can't fight those men who are extremely deep in the city after all.

It's just that he died like this, and he was too unwilling to die after all.

Is the daughter's family born inferior?
