Chapter 157 Childhood Arrangement.



Sisi turned to look at him, a hint of impatience in her cool and aloof eyes, but ultimately she did not answer his question.

Taiqing took two steps back and smiled, a hint of joy and relief on her face. It's good that she's alive, it's good that she's still alive.

Before long, Wen Yuan went to the main hall. Sisi was flipping through the book of phenomena. His gaze swept over her fair wrist, where she used to wear a string of blue pearls.

"You're going to the human realm, right?"

Sisi didn't even look up. "What is it?"

Wen Yuan sat down and read with her. In the book, a figure made his gaze soften.

"After billions of years, you finally managed to reincarnate him."

Sisi looked up, a rare smile appearing on her usually cold face. "I have to choose him at least once."

Why can't you choose me?

For the first time, Wen Yuan voiced his doubts, "Is it because I haven't suffered as much as he has? Do you truly love him, or do you pity him for being abandoned time and time again?"

"Third Brother, we're not a good match."

The single word "Third Brother" created an immense chasm between the two, making them both inseparable; they were siblings, therefore they could not be together.

Wen Yuan smiled bitterly, "Fine, go find him. The Six Realms are at peace now, you should think about yourself. Go, your third brother supports you."

Watching his retreating figure, Sisi didn't call out to him after all, and silently apologized in her heart.

"Master, he is not doing well at all right now."

Zhuque was a little worried; she had gone to the human realm to inquire about it.

This reincarnated being is no different from a troublemaker. At only fifteen years old, he already has women on his left and right, a group of beauties in his backyard, and he spends his free time fighting for others.

Just a few days ago, I heard that she got into a huge fight with another man over a courtesan, and even had a head injury, so she stayed at home for several days without getting up.

Sisi smiled and said, "No one is perfect."

Zhuque asked cautiously, "Does Master mean to go to the human realm to rekindle their past relationship, or is it just to take a look?"

"If he truly loves that woman, I will not stop him. After millions of years, I will always miss her."

Then let's take a look.

Zhuque was relieved.

………

Shengjing, Zhou Mansion.

Old Master Zhou was furious, but Madam Zhou patted his chest and comforted him, "Master, don't be angry. Second Brother didn't do it on purpose. He just doesn't get along with the Yu family."

"Not on purpose? Not on purpose, fighting with the third son of the Yu family over a courtesan? Fine, you fought, but you couldn't even win. Now the whole of Shengjing is laughing at our Zhou family. What use is this useless piece of trash? Get him out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou burst into tears. "Why are you saying this? My eldest son died young, and I finally had another child. Are you telling him to get out so I can go looking for my eldest son?"

"Look at you, you're crying before I've even said two words. Weren't we talking about his fight?" Old Master Zhou said helplessly as he wiped away her tears.

"He's already in bed, what more do you want? Do you want him to be beaten to death?"

"That's not what I meant."

Madam Zhou cried her heart out, but Master Zhou waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, let it go this time."

"You said it!"

Madam Zhou stopped crying instantly. She wiped away her tears and then remembered something and said, "Let him take good care of himself. My cousin's daughter is coming tomorrow. She's so pitiful. Her parents died of illness when she was so young. It's really heartbreaking."

"Since we don't have a daughter, we'll raise her as our daughter."

"Pretty much."

Madam Zhou thought to herself, "My cousin's daughter and my second son have been betrothed since they were little. When my second son comes of age, marrying her as a daughter-in-law is the same as marrying my daughter."

Linqing Pavilion.

Zhou Qiyan was groaning on the bed, clutching his head. A group of women surrounded him, chattering away, which only made his headache worse.

"Zhang Yu, chase them all away! They're so noisy and annoying! Anyone who doesn't leave, I'll sew their mouth shut!"

Zhang Yu gave the others a meaningful look, and everyone, afraid of this troublemaker, covered their mouths and ran away as fast as they could.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

"Sir, should I go and find a doctor?"

Zhou Qi glared at him, "Yu Wenguang didn't even find a doctor, why should I find one? Am I more seriously injured than him? He's clearly more seriously injured than me!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "You are indeed more seriously injured than Brother Yu. He only lost an arm, but you have a broken head and a twisted back, and you can't even get up."

He dared not speak, and could only wait for his wife to treat him.

Zhou Qi grimaced in pain, and Zhang Yu remembered something else. He glanced at the wailing man and said softly.

"Sir, Madam said that your cousin's daughter will arrive tomorrow. She seems to be your fiancée."

"What???"

Zhou Qiyan suddenly sat up, then lay back down, grimacing. "What nonsense are you spouting? I've never heard of any fiancée. Besides, my cousin's fiancée is much older than me. She's practically an old maid. Is she the one who was forced into the Zhou family after her husband died?"

"No, that girl is indeed a few years older than you, but she has never been married. She was betrothed to you since childhood and is truly your fiancée."

"..."

"I don't believe you! Go and call my mother here!"

Zhang Yu hurriedly invited Madam Zhou over.

Zhou Qiyan said irritably, "Is that arranged marriage you mentioned real? You've promised me to that cousin? I don't agree to this!"

"You have no choice but to agree." Madam Zhou glared at her. "Her mother is the only female doctor in Daqing. If it weren't for her saving you, you probably wouldn't be out of here!"

"Then you can give her money. Our Zhou family has plenty of money. Why would we give away our own son as a favor? Are you even my own mother anymore?"

"If I'm not your mother, then who's walking outside? Is she your mother?"

Madam Zhou twisted his ear, "This marriage was arranged since childhood. You have no choice but to accept it. Nannan is pitiful. Her parents are gone. If you dare to bully her, see how I deal with you!"

Zhou Qiyan wouldn't listen to any of that. Even if he were to marry, he would marry a princess or a daughter of an official. How could he possibly marry someone who had lost her parents and was his cousin?

Moreover, in his childhood memories, he remembered that his cousin was as fat as a meatball.

"Mother, if I remember correctly, she was fat and ugly when she was little. How could you bear to let your son marry someone so fat and ugly!"

Mrs. Zhou was a little embarrassed. "She was indeed not pretty when she was young, but she will definitely change when she grows up. When choosing a wife, we don't care about her appearance. We need her to be of good character, kind and gentle."

"No, I only want someone good-looking. I feel uncomfortable when I see someone ugly. I won't marry him. You can marry him if you want. If you dare to force me, I'll go on a hunger strike!"

Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to coax him, thinking that perhaps he would develop feelings for her after spending time with him.

The next day, a carriage was parked outside the Zhou residence. Madam Zhou and a group of maids came to greet them, while Zhou Qiyan, supported by Zhang Yu, peeked out from under the eaves.

He wanted to see if this ugly hag had changed at all, and if she still dared to come knocking on his door asking him to marry her? What a pipe dream!
