The three siblings entered the flower hall, and Ling Yi immediately ordered someone to prepare lunch for Ling Yuan.

Lingyun glanced at Lingyuan and asked, "Are you tired? If you are, go take a shower and change your clothes first, and we will have dinner together later."

Ling Yuan looked at her gray and fluffy appearance and nodded, "Okay, I'll go change clothes first."

Lingyun turned around and said something to Lingyi, then pulled Lingyuan to the backyard.

Ever since Ling Yuan officially became the second young lady of Lingjia Manor, Lingjia Manor has opened a courtyard just for her - Yuange.

Yuan Pavilion has special servants and someone cleans it every day. It is exactly the same as it was before she got married. It is very clean and decorated in a low-key manner, which is very similar to her personality.

When Ling Yuan was bathing, she didn't like others to serve her, but Ling Yun didn't plan to leave. Behind the beaded curtain, the two sisters chatted about their marriage and the relationship between husband and wife...

Of course, what they said were all private matters that only sisters could talk about. Lingyun did not ask whether Wei Jie touched Yuan'er.

After all, their daughter Yuan'er is still young. If Wei Jie really touches her, that would be a BT.

"So, since you got married, you have been busy detoxifying this person and curing that person's illness, and you and your wife have no chance to spend time together?"

Ling Yuan heard Ling Yun was very upset, and looked in her direction helplessly, "Sister, what do you think is good to talk about between us? Marriage is to deal with each other, and there is no guarantee that we will break up one day. Do you still expect me and him to create any sparks?"

Ling Yun was very surprised by the implication of Ling Yuan's words. She hurriedly opened the curtain and walked into the bathroom.

"You silly girl, he is your husband. Since you married him, it is your lifelong relationship. What do you mean by 'there is no guarantee that we will break up one day'? What do you mean by that?"

Ling Yuan was soaking in the bathtub. Her fat body filled the entire tub. Even she felt disgusted when she saw it, let alone others?

In fact, from the beginning to the end, deep in Ling Yuan's heart, there is always the most delicate and softest place.

There, no one can touch it. Don't be fooled by her cheerful appearance, seemingly not caring about anything, seemingly the most considerate, seemingly the most powerful and overbearing, but what is the truth?

She was inferior, timid, and unconfident. She even once thought of never getting married.

Yes, it was fate that brought them together, just because she had such a face and figure.

Even though she is very outstanding, her so-called shining points are naturally hidden under these shortcomings beneath her appearance and figure.

Especially, the person she was going to marry was the famous King of War Wei Jie.

Although this man's face was disfigured, his ability, talent and appearance still placed him at the top of the food chain among the four countries.

But what about her? Apart from her status and medical skills, what else could make her worthy of him?

Although Wei Jie had promised her something, she really never took it to heart.

She thought that after a few years, both parties would break up peacefully, and by that time, she, Ling Yuan, would be free again.

As for the day Lingyun mentioned, to be honest, she had never thought about it at all.

Precisely because she had never thought about it, she did not think there was anything wrong with her and Wei Jie getting along like strangers.

Even though she basically ran around for him after marriage, she never complained at all.

Because even if she didn't marry Wei Jie, she was destined to be used by Li Hongtao.

And now, the best outcome is that she has gotten rid of Li Hongtao and regained her freedom.

But to the ancients, her cooking seemed a little shocking.

Especially since she is a woman, no, not even a woman.

Even if she gets divorced a few years later, she is still a woman at her prime.

But the prerequisite is that she has to have the right looks. Without them, she will be despised like tofu dregs.

Now, on the surface, everyone seems to be polite to her, but what about behind her back? What about privately?

Which one of them is not talking about how ugly Ling Yuan is?

How shameless it is, a lazy toad wants to eat Wei Jie's swan meat?

So what if she married Wei Jie? Did His Majesty the Phoenix King really take her seriously?

In fact, Ling Yuan is a sensitive person. Although she seems not to care, she actually cares more than anyone else.

However, she did not choose to vent her feelings, but endured it silently and forbeared it silently, because she felt that what others said was right, and she was indeed not worthy of Wei Jie.

Those things that you shouldn't think about will naturally not be thought about from the beginning.

But now, when her elder sister was roaring at her in frustration, Ling Yuan curled her lips in self-mockery.

"Sister, do you think appearance is important or unimportant for a woman?"

"Yuan'er, why are you here again? Could it be that these men only see this and they can't see your heart?"

Before she could finish her words, Ling Yuan interrupted her rudely.

"Sister, you also know very well what appearance means to a woman, right?"

"Having no looks is like having no arms. No matter how good you are, to a man, you are flawed."

"Especially with Wei Jie's status and position, how could he allow his princess to be someone as incomplete as me? Our seemingly peaceful coexistence now is nothing more than us exploiting each other."

"Yuan'er, how can you belittle yourself like this? You are just poisoned. Sooner or later you will be able to cure the poison."

"At that time, you will be able to see the true nature of people. Wei Jie even accepted you like this. When your appearance is restored in the future, he will cherish you even more."

"We should always think on the bright side of things. I don't think Wei Jie is an ungrateful person."

"So Yuan'er, you shouldn't live like this, you should give yourself and Wei Jie a chance!"

"After all, life is long. How many times can a person get married in this lifetime? The fact that you two can be together is fate. It's destined by God."

However, Ling Yuan did not wait for Ling Yun to finish her words. She stood up from the bathtub, then looked at Ling Yun naked with deep eyes.

"Sister, look at me, look at me seriously, how do you think I am attractive to men?"

"Yuan'er, why are you here again? Didn't I just tell you that you are only like this temporarily?"

"What if I can't cure this poison? This poison will stay with me for the rest of my life, and it might even kill me in the end?"

"How is this possible? With your ability, how is this possible?"

"How can it be impossible? I am also a human, not a god. The world is so big, there are all kinds of things. How can it be impossible?"

"But not now. Hasn't it reached that point yet?"

Ling Yuan sneered, walked out of the bathtub, and slowly put on her clothes.

"If it comes to that, it will be too late to wait for others to chase me away."

As she spoke, Ling Yuan turned around and looked at Ling Yun with clear and serious eyes, "Sister, you and I both have self-respect and pride. How could we allow ourselves to share our husbands with others? Why would you wait until others chase you away before you leave?"

Ling Yuan raised her chin stubbornly and raised her eyebrows proudly: "I, Ling Yuan, like to take one step and look three steps ahead in everything. I like to plan ahead and make plans for myself in advance. I don't like to be passive and don't like to be controlled by others, so sister, do you understand what I mean?"

"No matter what happens in the future, I will not regret my decision today."

Looking at her sister's back as she walked away with her spine straight and her head held high, Lingyun suddenly realized that even though they had been influenced by her for so many years, they still could not reach her level.

This state of being able to leave at any time, to abandon or give up at any time, is something that not everyone can achieve.

Ling Yuan was never what they thought she was. She was incredibly self-reliant from the beginning to the end.

How did she become like this?

If Lingyun doesn’t understand, Lingyi naturally won’t understand either.

Because they are not her, even as her brothers and sisters, they cannot perceive her emotions, her inner world.

Thinking in this way, they gradually gave up their demands on Ling Yuan. Perhaps she was right. They were not her. They had no way of understanding her at a deeper level. So why should they interfere in her life?

Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan, perhaps from the very beginning, you have been an outsider in this world.

Although the two sisters enjoyed their meal as if no one was around afterwards, Lingyun knew that their conversation still affected their feelings for each other.

Fortunately, they all wisely avoided this question and asked about some things in Siyou Country, such as the recent uproar over the "Du Zi Ming Sue". Ling Yuan picked out what he knew and answered them one by one.

Of course, she did not reveal that she was treating Du Yin, the only bloodline of the Du family. Instead, she asked about Li Hongtao who was also in Mei Country.

Ever since Li Hongtao was demoted to Marquis of Loyalty, Ling Yuan has rarely paid attention to them.

When Li Hongtao was mentioned, Ling Yun looked disgusted. "Why are you still mentioning this person? He is really disgusting. I am afraid that he is the only one who can be a father to such an extent."

"They deserve to be demoted now. And that Li Qianxue, haha, I have to say, Wei Jie is quite domineering. Do you know how he sent people back in the first place?"

Li Qianxue?

Ling Yuan blinked. Yes, Wei Jie had kidnapped the person at the beginning. After she got married, she forgot about it. Now that Ling Yun suddenly brought it up, Ling Yuan was naturally curious.

"How is Li Qianxue?"

Ling Yun laughed sarcastically, "Evildoers will be punished by their own evil. Wei Jie actually threw her into the emperor's bedroom. Haha, I am dying of laughter. Now this Li Qianxue is competing for favor with her own sister in the harem!"

Ling Yuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "No, no way? Would Li Quan accept this?"

"So what if he doesn't accept it? I don't know how Wei Jie's people did it. They came and went freely in the Mei Kingdom Palace and gave the old emperor and Li Qianxue aphrodisiacs. Tsk tsk, when they were making love, they were caught by the queen."

"It is said that when Concubine Mei Li Qianmei rushed over, the two sisters had a fierce fight!"

"The queen is also a resourceful person. She actually promoted Li Qianxue to be a noble lady. She truly became the emperor's concubine."

Two concubines from one family, this is unique among the Li family's side branches, right?

"Then the Loyalty Marquis Mansion should be more respected than before, right?"

Ling Yun smiled contemptuously, "You are too naive. The old emperor was framed and ate Li Qianxue, a piece of rotten meat that once made him vomit. Do you think he can like her?"

Ling Yuan thought about it and quickly understood.

Not to mention Li Qianxue's character, talent and appearance, the fact that she has disappeared for so long has ruined her reputation.

But Wei Jie actually threw her into his bedroom and designed a plan to let the whole world know that he, the old emperor, had fallen in love with such a loser like Li Qianxue.

This was clearly an opportunity to slap him in the face. He dared to design Wei Jie to marry Li Qianxue, but in the end, Li Qianxue did not marry into the Fengwang Mansion, but was instead taken advantage of by him.

The woman whom he once despised and looked down upon was now lying under him, flirting with him. Naturally, Li Quan felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

The more Li Hongtao's two daughters became jealous of each other in the harem, the more he disliked Li Hongtao.

The more Li Quan hated Li Hongtao, the lower Li Hongtao's status became. In the end, the ones who suffered were the unmarried sisters in the Marquis' Mansion.

After this incident, the status of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness Mansion, well, it's probably over.

If Li Hongtao had not given birth to a son to inherit the Marquisate during his lifetime, then the Marquisate of Loyalty would have come to an end completely when it came to him.

When Ling Yuan heard this, he just said indifferently, "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and this is the retribution they deserve."

She wanted to know her life story, but if Li Hongtao was unwilling to tell her, it would be useless even if she promised him more conditions.

As long as Li Hongtao can use her in the future, this secret will be exposed sooner or later. She is not in a hurry. She has plenty of time to wait and also plenty of time to waste with him.

"Um, sister, has Yang Su ever contacted you?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ling Yi raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the two sisters with a smile.

Ling Yuan then realized Ling Yi was present and felt annoyed, but since she had already asked the question, there was no reason to take it back.

Ling Yun first glared at Ling Yuan, then said without looking away and expressionlessly, "Why did he contact me?"

Before Ling Yuan could say anything, Ling Yi snorted coldly, with coldness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

Ling Yuan looked at Ling Yi helplessly, "Hey brother, look at you, we didn't say anything, why are you so angry? If you continue like this, I'll kick you out!"

Ling Yi raised his thick eyebrows, with obvious displeasure in his eyes: "What's the matter? Is there anything that brother can't listen to?"

"You are whining like that, and if you don't know anything, you might think Yang Su has done something to offend you!"

"You," Ling Yi was about to speak, but Ling Yuan had already pulled him back and said, "Brother, I'm under your nose every day, what else are you worried about?"

Ling Yi was speechless after hearing this. Didn't it mean that his protection was unnecessary in their eyes?

Ling Yuan ignored him and looked at Ling Yun: "Sister, did he really not contact me at all? Did he not reveal any news?"

Ling Yuan shook her head, bewildered. "No, I haven't seen him in the City That Never Sleeps. Now that I'm back, it's impossible for me to see him. What's the matter? Why are you mentioning him for no reason?"

Ling Yuan was silent. Ever since Yang Su disappeared, Hong Xie also disappeared. Even her secret agent in the Dragon Empire had not sent any news for a long time. Somehow, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

It was as if something big was about to happen.

She originally thought that no matter how bad Yang Su was, he would at least reveal some news about the Dragon Empire for the sake of his sister or because they had saved him. But now...

In the end, she was disappointed.

Ling Yuan was a little discouraged. She hated her own lack of strength and hated her opponent even more for being too strong.

"Yuan'er, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ling Yuan shook her head. "I don't know either. I just feel like the Dragon Empire has disappeared for a long time. This is not their style. They suffered such a big loss last time, why is there no movement at all?"

When the Dragon Empire was mentioned, the three siblings fell silent for a moment.

"I'm afraid the Dragon Empire won't cause any major disturbance to us for the time being."

When Ling Yi's voice sounded slowly, Ling Yuan raised her head in surprise.

"What do you mean, brother?"

Ling Yi raised his eyelids and said calmly: "What do you think the Dragon Empire is? It is a place that is more complicated than the Four Continents. Not only are there so many masters, but even the forces on all sides are mixed. The Four Continents are still in constant internal strife, let alone the Dragon Empire?"

"Brother, what you mean is that there is internal strife in the Dragon Empire?"

Ling Yi sneered, "They have been fighting among themselves for a long time, but this time, the old emperor is ill, and the princes are at a critical moment of competing with each other. I am afraid they don't have the leisure to care about the affairs of our Four Continents."

When Ling Yuan heard this, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She did not ask Ling Yi how he knew that, because the foundation of Lingjia Manor was even stronger than she had imagined. It was not surprising that they knew about the Dragon Empire.

As long as the Dragon Empire doesn't cause panic to them for the time being, it will be fine. The zombie poison has already scared her enough once. If it happens again, she really doesn't know if she will have the energy to deal with it.

After staying in Lingjiazhuang for two or three days, Ling Yuan bid farewell to the brother and sister.

He then returned to Fengchi Villa, dealt with a lot of complicated official business that had piled up, and set out back to Siyou Kingdom overnight.

The whole trip only took her half a month.

If she had walked at a normal speed, she would have only walked halfway to the City That Never Sleeps.

Even if Wei Jie's people were extremely capable, they would never have expected that the person they were looking for had already returned to Siyou Kingdom.

And the fact was indeed as Ling Yuan expected. After Ling Yuan got rid of these people on the first day, these people rushed non-stop towards the City That Never Sleeps. However, along the way, not to mention their shadows, they couldn't even catch any smell.

With no other options, they could only pass the news back to Fengwang Mansion.

Qingchen looked at his seventh brother with admiration: "Sister-in-law Seven is really a god. She can even get rid of the Black Scale Guards. They are a group, the most outstanding group in the Black Scale Guards. Haha, haha."

After laughing for a long time, Wei Jie didn't even look at him, and his expression became more and more ugly. Seeing that he was in danger of being frozen, he immediately changed the subject wisely.

"Seventh Brother, tell me, what does Seventh Sister-in-law mean by this? Why did she deliberately avoid our Black Scale Guards? Could it be that she is not going to the Never-Sleeping City this time, but to do something else?"

"But why can't the Black Scale Guards track down the Seventh Sister-in-law? Logically speaking, the size of our Seventh Sister-in-law is the easiest to track. Even if she has the ability to disguise herself, this size cannot be changed, right?"

As Qingchen spoke, he paid attention to Wei Jie's expression. He saw that his originally calm eyes suddenly flashed, and then he turned his head and looked at Qingchen, "What did you just say?"

What did he just say?

Qingchen repeated what he had just said, and a hint of understanding suddenly appeared in Wei Jie's deep eyes.
