Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
The Huang family's house has three courtyards. Through the screen door of the first courtyard is the front hall.
When they reached the door of the front hall, Huang pulled Yu Jiao's hand with a little more force and almost half-dragged her inside.
Yu Jiao felt something was strange. When she raised her eyes, her pupils contracted and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Cheng Ying was wearing a scarlet gown, sitting upright on the armchair at the head of the hall, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time, just waiting for the fish to come to her automatically.
Yu Jiao shook off Huang's hand, she was actually deceived by Huang.
No wonder she escaped so smoothly along the way, and she happened to meet a kind-hearted person who was on the road. He let her take a carriage, and with just a few words, he helped her pass the guards at the city gate without any precautions and let her stay in the mansion temporarily.
It turned out that he just treated her as a fool.
Huang smiled awkwardly: "Sister, don't forget the prescription we agreed on before." After saying that, she quickly left this place of trouble.
"Jiaojiao, come here." Cheng Ying spread her hands towards her. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes seemed calm, but they were full of undercurrents.
Yu Jiao didn't move, she looked at him and asked, "Are you not unconscious?"
Cheng Ying sneered and said, "You haven't forgotten Yu Qizhe, have you?"
After the command hallucinations in his mind became strange, Cheng Ying began to have some guesses in his mind. In order to make Yu Jiao reincarnate, he had tried many absurd methods and once asked the Miao people to plant a poisonous insect in his body.
Fortunately, he still remembered the insect.
After trying a few times, I discovered the truth.
Zhang Daoling tricked him again. It was probably that the Miao people were sent to him intentionally by Zhang Daoling. This peach blossom Gu should be the mother Gu, and the one in his body was the son Gu.
The mother Gu had been sealed in a jar for many years. What he mistakenly thought to be command hallucinations were actually the child Gu causing trouble in his body.
After he planted the peach blossom Gu in Yu Jiao's body, the child Gu was controlled by the mother Gu, making him obedient to the person who had the mother Gu in his body.
So along the way, the command hallucinations in his head kept clamoring to let Jiaojiao go.
Yu Jiao pursed her lips, feeling extremely frustrated. She took a deep breath and said, "Fu Chuan, let me go."
Hearing that she didn't even want to call him Senior Brother, Cheng Ying's face darkened and he said cruelly, "Do you know why the city gate guards of Jiaxing Prefecture are conducting a strict investigation? Because Yu Qizhe is in Jiaxing right now, and he's here to look for you."
Seeing Yu Jiao's expression change, Cheng Ying sneered and said, "But even if he is in Jiaxing, what can he do? I have still entered the city, and you are still in my hands."
He stood up and walked to Yu Jiao. His tall figure completely covered her. He looked down at her and said, "Where else can you run to? Jiao Jiao."
Although the auditory hallucinations in his head were so sharp and piercing that he almost exploded with pain, Cheng Ying remained calm. He could see that Yu Jiao was powerless at the moment, but he wanted to let her know that no matter what, she could not escape from him.
He wanted to plant this feeling of helplessness, which could not be escaped, deeply into her mind.
That way she wouldn't always be thinking about running away.
"You should behave yourself, otherwise this is Jiaxing." Cheng Ying pinched Yu Jiao's jaw with her fingertips and rubbed her smooth skin slowly. "Yu Qizhe came here alone, and it is very likely that he would accidentally encounter pirates and end up with his body destroyed and his people killed."
Although it was bright outside, Yu Jiao felt bone-chilling cold. She was still stubborn, "The whole world belongs to the king. Even if you can command pirates, so what? Good will prevail over evil. The bandits will eventually be wiped out by the government."
Cheng Ying sneered, pinched her snow-white and delicate cheek, and whispered: "Jiaojiao, why are you so naive? The word official means two mouths, can the court feed them? Money can move people's hearts, and collusion between officials and bandits is common in Jiaxing Prefecture."
No wonder…
Yu Jiao thought that it was no wonder that despite the strict inspection by the city gate guards, Cheng Ying was still able to enter the city and live safely in this three-story courtyard.
"Brother, everything in the past is like yesterday's death. Why do you always think about the past and hold on to it? I am already married, and I am someone else's wife." She looked at Cheng Ying and said sadly, "Do you really have to use up all the love we had in the past?"
Cheng Ying pinched her cheek with a gloomy expression, "Yu Jiao, don't irritate me, stay by my side obediently, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences, unless you want to see Yu Qizhe die without a complete body and be buried in the belly of a fish!"
-
"Sir, the guard who said he had seen the girl is here." Yunxiao said hurriedly.
Yu Qizhe's eyes fell on the guard cowering beside him, and he suppressed his emotions and asked, "When did she enter the city? Where did she go?"
