Three days later, at night.
"Wanqing—"
From inside the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, a roaring sound came from within, followed by bursts of weeping.
Zou Shuang'er held her daughter in her arms, crying. How could this happen?
My daughter was perfectly fine just a few days ago, but when she woke up she was like a walking corpse, refusing to eat or drink.
Originally, when her daughter said she was a god, Zou Shuang'er assumed she was cultivating. In addition, the food in the mansion was not plentiful, so she didn't try to persuade her to eat much.
How could things have turned out like this in just a few days?
"Wanqing, look at your mother, your mother can't live without you."
The Marquis of Zhenbei rushed over upon hearing the noise, pulling up his trousers. When he saw his daughter's wrinkled face, he froze in shock.
"Wanqing..."
Upon hearing the Marquis of Zhenbei's voice, Zou Shuang'er put down Zou Wanqing and ran to him. "Master, please, save Wanqing! She's a capable child; she can't just leave like this!"
"Our Marquis's mansion... our Marquis's mansion is without her, what will we do in the future?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei withdrew his gaze, looked at Zou Shuang'er who was on the verge of death and still praising Zou Wanqing's abilities, and asked:
What does this mean?
"Besides having a brain that's thousands of years old, is there something else you haven't told me?"
Startled, Zou Shuang'er released her hands from Zou Wanqing and lifted her disheveled face. "Master, I..."
"explain!"
"Wanqing said she was a god who could help the Marquis's family rise to prominence, help Shixuan become the top scholar in the imperial examination, and help Shiming become a general."
“If she leaves now, our Marquis’s mansion will be finished. Do you remember when she summoned Kongming lanterns in the street? If Lin Wanwan hadn’t appeared at that moment, she wouldn’t have failed.”
"Furthermore, she originally summoned at the God Summoning Conference, saying she could summon gods. If it weren't for Lin Wanwan, how could she have summoned something like that and been thrown out?"
“Master, Wanqing is a goddess, but Lin Wanwan is her nemesis. We cannot live without Wanqing…”
The Marquis of Zhenbei couldn't help but go through the events from Zou Wanqing's birth to the present in his mind.
When Wanqing was born, she didn't even cry. Her expression was blank and her eyes were empty. Even the doctor said she was beyond saving.
A few months later, he and Shuang'er decided to give up on her and wanted to strangle her to death, but to their surprise, not long after they started strangling her, Zou Wanqing suddenly burst into tears.
The two were caught off guard. After that, Zou Wanqing seemed to be possessed by a talented woman. She could speak and write poetry, and she could walk at the age of six months. The two cherished her like a treasure.
A few months later, Lin Wanwan was born, and their family's fate began to change, becoming unfortunate, unlucky, and despised by everyone.
You're saying she's a god?
Zou Shuang'er nodded.
Without saying a word, the Marquis of Zhenbei hurriedly ran out to fetch a doctor.
Before long, the Marquis of Zhenbei dragged a reluctant doctor into the courtyard.
Helpless, the doctor could only shake his head and step forward to check on Zou Wanqing's condition.
When he saw Zou Wanqing's face, he was so frightened that he staggered back, "What, what's going on?"
Zou Shuang'er knelt down, crying, "Doctor, please save my daughter, she's dying."
"But this appearance..."
He was speechless for a moment, having never seen such an aged face, even older than... even older than a centenarian.
Then, somewhat fearfully, he placed his hand on her pulse.
Suddenly, he was so frightened that he rolled to the ground, yelled "Soul-stirring man!" and fled frantically.
Zou Shuang'er was taken aback.
A captivating beauty?
What is it?
Seeing the doctor fleeing in panic, the Marquis of Zhenbei anxiously stepped forward. When he saw that Zou Wanqing's face was even more frightening than before, he almost wet himself in fright.
What...what did he mean?
Zou Shuang'er shook her head, puzzled. "Master, I don't know either."
Just then, Lin Shixuan stormed in, yelling, "Go cook!"
Zou Shuang'er looked at Lin Shixuan with some fear and shielded Zou Wanqing behind her.
"Shixuan, you...you wait a moment, Mom will make it for you in a bit."
"I'll go right now." His attitude was no longer the gentle one he once was; coupled with his failure in the imperial examination, he was nearly driven mad.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the person lying in front of Zou Shuang'er, frowned and said, "Who are you blocking?"
"It's...it's your sister."
"Sister?" Yes, he hadn't seen Zou Wanqing for several days. Everything he had today was thanks to her. If it weren't for her wicked idea, he wouldn't have failed the exam.
He answered all the questions based on the answers given by Zou Wanqing.
Then, he lifted his heavy steps and walked step by step toward the bed.
Realizing what he was about to do, Zou Shuang'er immediately shouted to stop him, "Shixuan, don't come any closer, your sister is sick."
Lin Shixuan looked at her as if he had heard a hilarious joke, revealing a wicked expression, and pointed at her, saying, "Sick?"
"Mother, she is a goddess, how could a goddess get sick?"
"Get out of my way! Everything I have today is thanks to her. She said she would change Lin Rui'an's fate for me."
"My luck hasn't improved, but Lin Rui'an is doing very well now. She must have deliberately framed me!!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei was greatly alarmed.
"Shixuan? What kind of luck are you talking about changing?"
Lin Shixuan looked coldly at the Marquis of Zhenbei, "Back then, I accidentally turned around during the Ghost Festival and was summoned by the spirit. After waking up, my body was not as strong as before. Zou Wanqing said that my dark complexion had damaged my vital energy and that she could help me change my luck and lend me a hand."
"It is said that Lin Rui'an was born in a Yang year, and his destiny carries the dragon's energy, which is unmatched by anyone. It would be best for me to exchange with him."
