"What's going on?" Wan'er asked, puzzled.

"At that time, Master had an only daughter named Tan Ruyu. She is the same age as me, and she is also a beautiful embryo, and at the same time, everyone knows that this Tan Ruyu also likes my senior brother very much. However, the senior brother just loves her as a sister, because the senior brother only has me in his heart. ”

Mei Wanli sighed, as if she was in a very painful memory.

Wan'er found out about this, so she said sensibly: "Mother-in-law, if such a story brings you pain, then don't continue, let's rest." ”

Mei Wanli shook his head: "No, I want to say, are you still willing to listen?"

Wan'er nodded and looked at her sincerely.

Mei Wanli began to narrate again: "Later, suddenly one day, this Tan Ruyu came to my room and said that there was a way to help me win the monk, but she put forward a condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"Tan Ruyu said, my master has a book of martial arts secrets, which talks about how to practice mind reading. With mind reading, I would naturally win over the monk. Tan Ruyu said that she could secretly give me this book, but the condition was that she would erase the memory that my senior brother had loved me, that is, to make my senior brother forget about loving me, and from then on, in my senior brother's heart, I and her, like Tan Ruyu, were just my brother's younger sister. ”

"Mother-in-law, did you agree, how could you agree to such a ridiculous condition?" Wan'er said a little anxiously.

At this moment, Mei Wanli did not have a little expression on her face, as if she was telling someone else's story at the moment: "At that time, what I was thinking about was to win the monk quickly, as for anything else, I really didn't have time to think about it." At that time, when Tan Ruyu said such a condition, I was a little hesitant, Tan Ruyu saw it, so he said, this is actually nothing, if I have enough confidence, my brother can fall in love with me again. At the same time, Tan Ruyu also said that the reason why she did this was just to give herself a chance, a chance to compete fairly with me again. ”

"Later, I think what Tan Ruyu said is also reasonable, since my senior brother loves me so much, even if he forgets that he once loved me, then after some time together, my senior brother will still fall in love with me. Besides, that book of mind reading cheats was too tempting for me. ”

"What happened later, did Senior Brother really forget about you?"

Later, I agreed to her terms. The next day, she gave me the secret book, and it took me three days to practice the mind-reading technique, and then I went to the monk for the first time, and sure enough, I who mastered the mind-reading technique won quickly. When I rushed home happily and was about to tell my brother the news, I discovered a fact that made my life sad, that is, although I had practiced mind reading, I had lost my heart. ”

Wan'er saw that a tear flowed down Mei Wanli's wrinkled cheeks, and Wan'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it off for her mother-in-law.

"Later, when I got home, I found that my senior brother had really changed, although he still remembered me, but in his heart, I was really not a lover anymore, just a junior sister like Tan Ruyu, he no longer called me Mei'er, but called me like other junior sisters, just simply called junior sisters. ”

"Then you must have been sad at the time. ”

"Yes, looking at the lover who once swore an oath to me, but now he is so indifferent, my heart is like a knife, but I don't blame the senior brother, I am not qualified to blame the senior brother, at the same time, I am still immersed in the joy of defeating the monk, I don't realize the seriousness of the matter, I just know that the senior brother will definitely fall in love with me again. ”

Later, however, I found out that it was all my imagination. Although I always try my best to remind my brother of me, I always dangle in front of my brother when I have nothing to do, and I always send warmth and hospitality to my brother, but my brother really doesn't seem to fall in love with me anymore. ”

"It wasn't until that time that I really panicked, and I wanted to yell at him, shouting about our story, but I knew that if I did, my brother would just think I was a madman. Later, I regretted my actions, and I decided to use my life to make my brother fall in love with me again. However, before I could exhaust my life to be good to my brother, something even saddier happened. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I found that the senior brother and that Tan Ruyu are very close, Tan Ruyu is doubly good to the senior brother, and at the same time, the senior brother seems to really like her. Before I had time to despair, my senior brother suddenly announced that he was going to marry Tan Ruyu. ”

"What?" Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I felt like my world was falling apart. I cried and begged my senior brother, my master, and even Tan Ruyu, but it was useless, and in my bitter crying, my senior brother still worshipped Tan Ruyu. ”

After speaking, Mei Wanli was already in tears.

It was the first time Wan'er saw Mei Wanli crying so sadly, the old lady who used to be flying and domineering, the old lady who used to be unsympathetic, at this moment, is just a poor person who has lost her lover.

"Later, disheartened, I ran to the mountains alone, drank wine to kill my sorrows, and wept bitterly. Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands behind me gently embracing me, so familiar. I looked back and looked, and sure enough, it was my senior brother. I felt like I was in a dream, and my brother, who was still dressed as a groom, looked at me with tears in his eyes. ”

"Could it be that Senior Brother remembered you?"

I hurriedly asked my brother if he remembered me. I saw my brother full of tears, saying that he had never forgotten me. It turned out that Tan Ruyu didn't erase the memory of the senior brother at all, but told the whole thing to the senior brother. At the beginning, the senior brother believed that I would betray him, so he came to my room to look for me, but the scene in front of him still made him desperate, and the senior brother saw me and was concentrating on practicing the cheats that Tan Ruyu gave me in the room. Later, the senior brother believed Tan Ruyu's words, and was really disheartened with me, and when I came back, he pretended to forget me, deliberately approached Tan Ruyu, and then hastily decided to get married. ”

"So that's the case," Wan'er was also embarrassed after hearing this.

"At that time, on that night, I hugged my brother and cried and said, I hope my brother can forgive me and give me another chance, and I will treat him well. But my brother said that he didn't love me anymore, and just when he knew that he was not as important as a game of chess in my heart, he completely despaired of me. He said that he had always been willing to give me everything, but it was me who returned the favor. ”

"I knew that everything was caused by me, and I knew that no matter what I did, I would not be able to redeem my brother, and finally, I said to my brother in tears, begging him to play a game of chess with me one last time. ”

"Then did your senior brother agree?"

He didn't refuse. It's just that this game of chess, he kept going underground, and didn't give me a chance to play chess at all, and then, after a while, the senior brother took one last look at me and left, leaving without leaving a word. Later, I looked at the chessboard in a daze, and suddenly realized that the reason why the senior brother had been playing chess by himself just now was because he had spelled out two words with chess pieces on the chessboard. ”

"What word?" Wan'er asked.

"Loved. ”

Listening to Mei Wanli's words, Wan'er also fell into deep thought, although the two of them fell asleep, Wan'er kept tossing and turning.

The story of her mother-in-law reminded her of herself and Feng'er.

I don't know what the ending of the love between the two of them will be.

Regarding the future, Wan'er really can't imagine, at this moment, she can only warn herself that she must cherish and cherish the days when each other can still be together.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the three days were up, and all the people came to the Prophet's dwellings, waiting for the hexagram that the Prophet had calculated.

The prophet saw that all the people of the Zhong family had arrived, and then said, "I am incompetent, and only one person has come out." ”

"Prophet, where are you here, we are already grateful that you can help us, even if we count out one person, we will definitely be able to take the lotus. Zhong Dushan said sincerely.

"After three days, I kept watching the sky at night, and then after careful calculation, I calculated that this person is the future wife of Zhong Jin, the eldest son of the Zhong family, that is, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, although this person is not the Zhong family, and there is no blood of the Zhong family, but after all, if she wants to live in the Zhong family in the future, she can also be used to replace Zhong Rushui, and her blood can also play a role when the time comes. The Prophet said.

After hearing this, Zhong Jin couldn't help but glance at Murong Wan'er.

Who is Zhong Jin's future wife?

All the people were curious.

"Then Prophet, please show us this hexagram. Zhong Shen said.

"This hexagram is still inside, and in another hour I will take it out of the shrine, and then we can see it together. The Prophet said.

So, everyone waited outside.

The time of an hour is not long, but it is not short.

However, the most nervous thing is to be cautious.

After all, what will be calculated later is the happiness of your life. Although Zhong Jin has never believed in the destiny of heaven, he is also very curious and does not know who his destiny will be.

I don't know what kind of answer God will give himself.

However, in his heart, the only person he loves the most is Wan'er.

Zhong Jin glanced at Wan'er again, at this time Wan'er was sitting quietly beside Mei Wanli, very well-behaved and quiet, which made people love it.

While Zhong Jin was still immersed in deep thought, the Prophet suddenly walked out.

The crowd hurried around them.

"How is it, prophet, what is the hexagram?" asked Madame Chung anxiously.

The Prophet took out a bamboo stick from his hand.

Everyone went up to take a look.

I saw that it said "last time"

What does it mean to be "untimely"?

At this time, Madame Zhong hurriedly asked the prophet: "Prophet, please give us a detailed understanding of the mystery here." ”

The Prophet lost his mind and said with difficulty: "This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. In the past, when I told others a hexagram, the hexagram always clearly stated what I was asking for, but this time I asked for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, but not only did it not write the name on it, but it also gave me such a response. ”

"yes, and there's a typo, late should be late at night. Zhong Jin said.

At this time, Zhong Shen seemed to think of something and said, "No, maybe it's not a typo, but it's where the mystery lies." Why is the late character on the hexagram written as the female character Wan, perhaps it is the explanation,"

"What do you mean?" everyone hurriedly asked.

Zhong Shen glanced at Miss Wan'er and said slowly: "It shows that the name of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family has a graceful character." ”

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Wan'er.

Wan'er didn't know what to do all of a sudden.

But Mei Wanli was in a hurry, in her heart, how could she be willing to marry Wan'er to Zhong Jin, so she hurriedly said: "There are thousands of girls in this world who have Wan'er in their names, how can you be sure that it is Wan'er?"

Wan'er saw her mother-in-law relieving herself, she felt very much, and nodded hurriedly.

At this time, Zhong Dushan spoke: "Miss Wan'er, whether the person shown on this hexagram is you or not, please help us." ”

"How can you help?" Wan'er said reluctantly.

"So far, apart from you, there is no girl named Wanzi around us, so we want to ask you to give it a try, after all, time waits for no one, if after trying, we find that you are not the person on the hexagram, we will go to find someone else. ”

What Zhong Dushan said sincerely, Wan'er had no reason to refuse.

"So, what if Wan'er is really the person mentioned in the hexagram?" asked Mei Wanli.

All of them were silent.

Only the Prophet suddenly said, "The Mandate of Heaven cannot be violated." ”

Wan'er was anxious, and hurriedly said: "No, I don't care if it's the destiny or not, in short, I will do everything I can to help the Zhong family, and then I will leave, no matter whether my blood can save the lotus flower or not, whether I am the person mentioned in the hexagram or not, I will leave." ”

Seeing Wan'er's resolute attitude, Zhong Jin felt very uncomfortable.

Wan'er also knew that she was a little reckless in saying this, so she went on to add: "Brother Zhong, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I already have someone else in my heart, and I won't pretend to be anyone anymore, even if this person is the so-called person of destiny." ”

Originally, according to Wan'er's character, such straightforward words would never have been said in public, but at this time, if Wan'er didn't say it, it would have embarrassed Zhong Jin very much, after all, Zhong Jin had saved his life.

Seeing that everyone was at such a stalemate, Mrs. Zhong hurriedly played a round: "Okay, okay, Miss Wan'er, the most important thing now is to find a way to save Lotus as soon as possible, and other things are all for later, and we will all be good to discuss when the time comes." ”

Later, everyone agreed that without further ado, they hurried back to Zhong's house and began to cast spells.

In the lobby of the Zhong family, Zhong Dushan, Mrs. Zhong, Zhong Jin, Zhong Shen, and Murong Wan'er all surrounded a bowl.

The entire spell casting process was presided over by Mei Wanli.

"Next, I'll start casting the spell. Mei Wanli glanced at all the people, then folded his hands and said to the sky: "Great sage, please give me the strength to save the lotus of the Zhong family, now all the people of the Zhong family are gathered together, because the youngest daughter of the Zhong family is still young and weak, it is really not suitable to donate blood, so it is specially replaced by the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family." ”

After speaking, Mei Wanli gave everyone a knife and said to them: "You should walk to this bowl in order of age, cut the palm of your hand with a knife, and at the same time say your name and tell your status in the Zhong family." ”

The crowd nodded.

Zhong Dushan was the first to come over.

This man who is over half a hundred years old has aged a lot because of the recent lotus incident.

"I am the head of the Zhong family, and my name is Zhong Dushan. ”

With that, a drop of blood dripped into the bowl.

Mrs. Chung then came.

Couples who love each other are always so touching.

"I am the wife of the Zhong family, and my name is Zhuang Yue'e. ”

Subsequently, there was another drop of blood in the bowl.

"I am the eldest son of the Zhong family, and my name is Zhong Jin. ”

"I am the second son of the Zhong family, my name is Zhong Shen. ”

In the end, it was Wan'er's turn.

Everyone looked at Wan'er, hoping that this time, it could really succeed.

Wan'er walked to the bowl, still so gentle and quiet.

"I am the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, and my name is Murong Wan'er. ”

After saying this, Wan'er herself was a little surprised, but there were more important things waiting for her to do.

She slashed the knife in the palm of her hand, and suddenly felt a coldness, and then, a drop of bright red blood also dripped into the bowl along Wan'er's white fingers.

Seeing Wan'er cooperate like this, everyone in the Zhong family was grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially Zhong Jin, when he saw Wan'er scratching his palm, it seemed that the knife was not injured in Wan'er's palm, but on his own heart.

Even though Zhong Jin is ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, he seems to be an out-and-out villain, but in treating Wan'er, he is really affectionate.

Later, Mei Wanli walked to the bowl and silently recited a few words in his mouth, only to see that all the blood droplets were fused together.

"It worked. Mei Wanli said, but there was not a trace of a smile on his face.

Lotus was saved, but Wan'er was not.

Madame Zhong was very happy, and she did not notice Mei Wanli's displeasure in the slightest.

Zhong Dushan and Zhong Shen were also very happy, although they saw Wan'er's despair at that time.

The happiest is Zhong Jin, it seems that Wan'er is really the person on the hexagram.

"Okay, pour the contents of this bowl on the lotus, and the lotus will be well in three days. Mei Wanli said coldly, and then left without looking back.

Wan'er then had to follow.

At this time, Mrs. Zhong suddenly said, "Miss Wan'er, please stay." ”
