Chapter 6: Longtan Tiger's Den Dare to Be the First

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. I wanted to spend the rest of my life in peace, but disasters followed.

In the late autumn of 717 A.D., there was a lot of mourning and joy in the Xu house of Luoyang Renhefang, and Xu Ziyan, who was only five years old, knelt in front of the spiritual seat of her mother Ai Miaojun and wept silently. It is said that the death of someone should be mourned by the whole family, but only Xu Ziyan in the Xu family is sincerely crying, and the rest are just for show.

Ai Miaojun was originally in good shape, optimistic and cheerful, but her husband Xu Yuanwei has always been dissatisfied with her, and the reason for this is naturally needless to say. In addition, Song Wanting has been adding fuel and vinegar behind her back, which made her accumulate illness in isolation and neglect, and finally led to Ai Miaojun's indignation.

Since Ai Miaojun passed away due to illness, Xu Ziyan has become silent, and rarely has a smile on her face. Her mother is dead, she is not treated by her father, and she is an older sister who often bullies her, Xu Ziyan's life is difficult to imagine.

In this way, Xu Ziyan spent another five years in a desperate life with her strong will. In the past five years, she has experienced a lot and grown a lot, she thought that there would be no more disasters, but she didn't expect her father Xu Yuanwei to die mysteriously in the winter of this year.

It turned out that in the past few years since Xu Ziyan was born, Xu Yuanwei has never forgotten his long-cherished wish to have a son, but for some reason he has always been unable to get what he wants. For this reason, Xu Yuanwei spent a lot of money looking for doctors and medicines everywhere to find the root cause of the disease, but the final result made him almost collapse. It turned out that because Xu Yuanwei had indulged excessively and unrestrained for several years, he was infected with a vicious disease and became infertile.

Since then, Xu Yuanwei has begun to give up on himself, indulging in fireworks all day long, and rarely goes home.

However, as the saying goes, there is no end to the heavens, and things finally took a turn for the better at the end of 721 AD.

Soon after, Xu Yuanwei married another wife, this person is named Wang Ruxue (stage name Xue'e), a fireworks woman.

Xu Yuanwei was born lustful, and it is not surprising to marry a woman from a Qinglou, but the reason for this is intriguing. It is said that it was because Wang Ruxue had a way to give him a son, so Xu Yuanwei married her. How did he know that people were drunk, and they didn't mean to drink.

In fact, as early as more than half a year ago, Xu Yuanwei often patronized the Qinglou where he was located, and named Wang Ruxue to accompany her, she was the top brand in Tianxiang Building, and she was worth a lot of money.

Tianxianglou is located in Renhefang, only one street away from Xu's house, and is the largest green building in Luoyang City.

Wang Ruxue is nominally a performer but not a person, but in fact she is watching people put down dishes. Over time, Wang Ruxue found that Xu Yuanwei had a lot of property and was eager to have children, so a conspiracy came into being.

Xu Yuanwei's ancestors were engaged in the silk business, and until this time he still ran a silk village in his hands, with a lot of family property, and his economic strength was one of the few in the entire Luoyang City. was originally a big family in the city with a pure family style, but he raised Xu Yuanwei, a lazy and lazy offspring who was greedy for money and lustful, and coveted to enjoy sitting and eating every day. In addition, Xu Yuanwei's parents died early, and Xu Yuanwei, who was already greedy for comfort, squandered the family property left by his parents day by day. But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and his wealth is still coveted by many people.

On the surface, Xu Yuanwei's genuine wives are only Song Wanting and Ai Miaojun, but in fact, I don't know how much is hidden behind the scenes, Wang Ruxue is a good example. But what is certain is that among so many people, only Ai Miaojun really likes him, but now......

What Xu Yuanwei never expected was that he, who had been scheming about poverty and luxury, wanted to get a son, and actually lost his net worth and life for this. And what is regrettable is that Xu Yuanwei didn't know why he died until he died, which is really sad and even ridiculous to think about.

And the reason why Wang Ruxue said that she could give birth to a son to Xu Yuanwei was not because she had any special functions, but because she knew a "master". It is said that this master has a "miracle medicine" that is very effective, and after a man eats it, he promises to make his wife pregnant with a boy.

In the context of the times at that time, in order to achieve a certain goal, some ignorant people often pinned their hopes on evil ways or gods and ghosts. This unscientific approach may seem absurd today, but it was common at the time.

Of course, what this master has refined is not a miracle medicine, on the contrary, it is a poison that can kill people. These so-called miracle drugs are filled with a large number of toxic substances, and the harm to the human body is undoubtedly very great.

Because the master is knowledgeable and proficient in medical theory and proficient in alchemy, Xu Yuanwei's life and death have long been in the hands of these two people, but Xu Yuanwei still doesn't know it, and he is delusional about having a son every day. In order to prevent the Xu family from suspecting this, the master also specially formulated a careful plan with Wang Ruxue, so the two did not rush it, but only poisoned Xu Yuanwei to death today.

In order to get the Xu family's property more smoothly, the two also deliberately made a fake will. originally thought that this matter had been done seamlessly, but just when the two were secretly happy, they didn't expect that the conspiracy had already been seen through by Xu Ziyan. But at that time, Xu Ziyan was weak, and if she wanted to stop the two, she had to join forces with Song Wanting. Although Song Wanting and Xu Ziyan are not of the same mind, she will never allow the Xu family's property that originally belonged to her to fall into the hands of others in vain, so they joined forces to completely smash the conspiracy carefully planned by Wang Ruxue.

After some careful consideration, the boat capsized in the gutter, and the two adults were actually planted in the hands of a ten-year-old girl. When the master saw that the matter was revealed, he left in a hurry and disappeared. And because Xu Ziyan was too young and lacked direct evidence, and because of Ai Miaojun's death, Xu Ziyan inevitably had a grudge against Xu Yuanwei, so she did not continue to investigate the matter.

After overthrowing Wang Ruxue, Song Wanting wanted to take advantage of the situation to inherit the family property, but Xu Ziyan actually got in the way again, causing Song Wanting's conspiracy to be repeatedly frustrated, and she has not been able to do so so far.

The wheel of time spun rapidly, and fifteen years passed in a hurry, and with a flick of a finger, it was the early morning of the early spring of 727 AD.

Xu Ziyan didn't know why time passed so quickly, but she vaguely felt as if a bigger challenge was slowly approaching her, and the real battle had just begun.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles! Bang...... Bangbang ...... Bang" A few familiar sounds of snorting came into Xu Ziyan's ears.

She turned and sat up from the bed, her coat draped in, staring blankly at the familiar face in the mirror. Sometimes sighing, sometimes smiling, with mixed feelings in his heart, and his reaction is slightly slow.

When she was young, Xu Ziyan got up and sat on the chair in front of the mirror and slowly combed her long flowing hair, and from time to time she muttered to herself: "Ruotian, where are you now?" Are you okay now? Xu Ziyan slowly fell into deep thought, so that when the maid Yulu knocked on the door several times, she didn't know it.

Yulu is Xu Ziyan's personal maid, who comes to groom Xu Ziyan at about four o'clock every day, and this work has been going on for several years. However, today Yulu knocked on the door for a long time with hot water, but no one opened the door, so she was very anxious. After a long time, Xu Ziyan heard Yulu's voice, so she went to open the door and let Yulu enter the house. At this time, the hot water had already turned into cold water, and Yulu wanted to fight again, but Xu Ziyan said that cold water would be fine.

"Miss, why did you oversleep today, why didn't you open the door after calling you for so long?" Gyokuro asked suddenly.

Xu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly turned around.

Yulu saw Xu Ziyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I understand, did Miss fall in love with the son of a certain family, so she came up with a god?" ”

"Don't get cranky, hurry up and freshen up and it's time to eat." Xu Ziyan quickly changed the topic.

Xu Ziyan was ready to go to the main house for dinner after she freshened up, but the eating process was not as smooth as she imagined.

When Xu Ziyan came to the dinner table, everyone else had already arrived, so Xu Ziyan and Yulu also sat down. At this moment, there are a total of six people sitting around the round dining table, which seems to be calm and normal on the surface, but in fact, they are all deceitful and have ghosts.

"Come, good sister, my sister will serve you a bowl of soup with her own hands, I wish you all the best!" On weekdays, Xu Yuexiao did all kinds of evil and bullied people under the "edification" of her mother Song Wanting, how could she change to Japan at this time?

Xu Ziyan thought to herself: "I have been fighting with her everywhere for many years, and my sister has always been obsessed with this, how can she deliberately serve me soup now?" There must be a lot of articles in this! ”

After thinking of this, Xu Ziyan did not rush to take the bowl of soup, but stood up and said unhurriedly: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but my sister thinks that this first bowl of soup should still be tasted by the two aunts, how can there be a reason for a mother not to eat her daughter to taste it first?" ”

Xu Yuexiao originally wanted to pretend that when Xu Ziyan took the bowl, she accidentally knocked over the bowl and splashed everyone present with hot soup. In this way, it can not only make Xu Ziyan suffer but also arouse public anger, but I didn't expect Xu Ziyan to be unexpected.

"Oh, where do I dare to be your mother, I don't dare to be it, let's give it to the eldest sister!" Wang Ruxue said seriously.

Xu Ziyan didn't want to pay attention to her, after all, Xu Yuanwei's death was inseparable from Wang Ruxue after all, and the days to come will be long, and she will be repaid by blood.

"Don't pretend to be a good person here, I'm not like some people who seem to be modest and polite on the surface, but in fact, I always hook up behind my back!" Song Wanting's words angered Wang Ruxue.

"Hey, eldest sister, you are referring to Sang scolding Huai, why do I think you have something to say? If you say that I don't keep women's morals, I don't think you're much better! ”

Xu Yuexiao was tired and sore with the soup there, she put down the bowl in her hand, sat on the stool very angrily and didn't say a word, and rolled her eyes at Xu Ziyan. The heart said, good you Xu Ziyan, you are so ignorant of current affairs, let's see!

Xu Ziyan saw that the situation was not good, so she stood up and persuaded her. In her opinion, there is nothing that is not feminine, it is just a means used by men to restrain women. Xu Ziyan believes that now the Xu family is a woman and a man, and there is a lack of men in the family, it is the time when everyone should be united, and they should not always fight in the nest, otherwise they will blindly fight fiercely, which will be harmful and useless.

In the end, everyone broke up unhappily, and the food on the dinner table was barely touched.

Everyone else is gone, only Xu Ziyan and Yulu are left, and now they can have a big meal.

Xu Ziyan is not as stupid as them, she is still herself who doesn't eat and starve, and she is angry, so why can't she get along with herself? What's more, there is an even more difficult journey ahead!
