Lin Xiuyan clapped her hands: "I'll grant your wish! I have to grant your wish! After all, a slut and a scumbag are always a perfect match."
Jiang Xinrou originally wanted to disgust Lin Xiuyan, but she didn't expect Lin Xiuyan to have this kind of attitude.
She sobbed, "Cousin, if you have grievances, just blame me, don't blame the city lord."
Lin Xiuyan found it quite amusing that she was still acting with her at this point.
Lin Xiuyan reached out and pinched Jiang Xinrou's chin, saying, "Tsk tsk, you really look pitiful."
"I really want you to marry Zhou Chenyang, but he's unwilling to marry you and only wants you to be his concubine. What should I do?"
Jiang Xinrou had already heard from Hongxiu what Zhou Chenyang said when he came to the Lin residence today.
She felt extremely uncomfortable, but she knew that Lin Xiuyan already knew about what she had done.
Given how much Lin Yunzhi dotes on Lin Xiuyan, he would believe whatever Lin Xiuyan said and wouldn't give her a chance to explain herself.
She looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "I think the city lord's suggestion is quite good."
“My cousin married the city lord as his principal wife, and I became his concubine. From now on, my sister and I will serve the city lord together.”
“With us here, even if the city lord takes other concubines in the future, we sisters can support each other. His harem will be our world.”
This matter was discussed with Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang last night.
Jiang Xinrou was originally unwilling to share a husband with Lin Xiuyan, but she knew that Zhou Chenyang wanted the Lin family's assets, so she had no choice but to compromise.
She felt very wronged by this, because in her opinion, Lin Xiuyan, that good-for-nothing, was not qualified to share a man with her.
Lin Xiuyan almost vomited when she heard this!
She feigned a thoughtful expression and asked, "Is this your idea or Zhou Chenyang's idea?"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Xinrou thought that she had softened again, so she said, "It is my and the city lord's idea."
"Although the city lord doesn't like my cousin, I will try my best to guide her in the future and tell her the city lord's preferences. My cousin will definitely be able to win the city lord's heart."
"The city lord is young and promising, with outstanding abilities. He will surely have a prominent status in the future."
"My cousin and I marrying him together will definitely become a legendary love story."
Lin Xiuyan was slightly dazed upon hearing this.
Although she liked Zhou Chenyang in her past life, she was never crazy about him.
At every juncture she made, Jiang Xinrou played a role in pushing things along, until things gradually reached an irreversible point.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Xinrou assumed she had been persuaded, and reached out to take Lin Xiuyan's hand: "Cousin..."
Lin Xiuyan slapped her across the face, knocking her to the ground.
Hongxiu tried to come over to help, but was kicked away by her.
Jiang Xinrou exclaimed in surprise, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Lin Xiuyan squatted down in front of Jiang Xinrou and smiled slightly: "I have a better plan here, cousin, would you like to hear it?"
Jiang Xinrou looked at Lin Xiuyan with some suspicion and said calmly, "It is impossible for me to share a husband with someone else."
“Zhou Chenyang has slept with you, he’s tainted, and I won’t want him anymore.”
"But we're sisters after all, there's no need to fall out over a man. I'll find a way to help you marry Zhou Chenyang and make you his legal wife, how about that?"
Jiang Xinrou looked at her and asked, "Really?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Of course it's true, but I need your cooperation."
Jiang Xinrou looked at her with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
Lin Xiuyan said softly, "I know what you're thinking. I was indeed very angry about what happened yesterday."
"But after I calmed down after I got angry, I thought about it carefully and realized that we grew up together and our bond is unmatched."
“There’s no need for us to fall out over a man. If I could, I’d rather be your sister for life.”
Jiang Xinrou didn't quite understand what she was trying to do, but she went along with her and played the victim card: "Cousin, I really never thought of betraying you."
"But as you know, feelings are often hard to control, and the city lord and I..."
"Stop talking." Lin Xiuyan sighed softly. "Now that things have come to this, I only ask you one question: do you want to be Zhou Chenyang's legal wife?"
Although Jiang Xinrou couldn't figure out Lin Xiuyan's thoughts, this matter was very advantageous to her, so she nodded and said, "Of course I want to."
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "If you want to marry Zhou Chenyang and become his legal wife, then do as I say."
Although Jiang Xinrou had some doubts, she nodded in agreement. (cascoo.net)
As Lin Xiuyan walked out of Jiang Xinrou's residence, a slight smile appeared on her lips. She was very much looking forward to the scene after Jiang Xinrou married Zhou Chenyang.
When she returned to her residence, Qiu Tao was taking apart and washing her pillow when something fell out of it.
Lin Xiuyan reached out, picked it up, and smelled it. Her expression changed drastically: "Where did this come from?"
Qiu Tao hurriedly said, "Miss, have you forgotten? You haven't been sleeping well lately, so your cousin brought you this sachet."
Lin Xiuyan didn't really remember this incident, but after Qiu Tao finished speaking, she vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
In her past life, for some reason, she couldn't sleep well for a period of time.
Jiang Xinrou then gave her a sachet to help her sleep. With this sachet, she was able to sleep soundly every night. For this, she even went to thank Jiang Xinrou.
She sneered, opened the sachet, and found a bright green worm inside.
The insect was small, but it exuded an eerie aura.
Qiu Tao was startled: "What kind of insect is this?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "This is called the offspring of the Echoing Insect, a type of Gu insect, which can control people's emotions."
"If this insect grows a little bigger, it will crawl into the ear of the person who hatched it at night."
"A person with larvae inside their body will be completely obedient to the person who raises the mother worm."
Qiu Tao was startled: "This thing sounds really creepy!"
"It's quite bizarre," Lin Xiuyan chuckled. "He uses Gu worms to control me, and then makes me obey his every word."
Her eyes reddened as she said this: "So that's how it is!"
This insect is extremely insidious. If she hadn't learned medicine from her master in her previous life, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect anything unusual.
She recalled everything from her past life. She couldn't understand why she was so infatuated with Zhou Chenyang before. It turns out the reason was right here!
In her past life, she had a very good relationship with Jiang Xinrou at this time, and never suspected that Jiang Xinrou would harm her.
According to the original course of events, the hatched echo insect should have already burrowed into her brain by now.
This time, because Ye Junfei followed her to the Lin residence, he was suffering from a qi deviation, and the Echoing Insects disliked his aura very much.
So even though the echo insect had hatched, it was suppressed by his breath and still didn't crawl into her ear.
