As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed.
Wen Zhixuan's pupils contracted.
That wasn't a child at all; it was a flower.
The petals are oblanceolate, the perianth is red, curls backward, and has wavy edges; the stamens and style are prominent.
Legend has it that the red spider lily blooms on the banks of the River of Oblivion.
Wen Zhixuan recalled what Shen Qinghe had said before she launched her attack, "I want to be a flower, a blade of grass. Flowers and grass have no heart, and without a heart, they will not feel pain or be hurt."
His fingers trembled and curled up.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the house; otherwise, witnessing this strange sight would have likely caused a great disaster.
So Jiang Shumiao already knew?
Shen Qinghe was still awake. Looking at the spider lilies floating in the air, she slowly smiled, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Shumiao placed the stem of the red spider lily into her palm, then turned to Wen Zhixuan and said, "Say what you have to say quickly, her time is running out."
Then he went to the outer room and said to Qingyun and Qingyue, "My cousin gave birth to a stillborn baby. Tell everyone outside to leave. Also, call Yicheng and Xiaobai over."
Her tone was normal, but the meaning behind her words was clear.
Shen Qinghe is dying and wants her two children to come and see her one last time.
With tears in their eyes, Qingyun and Qingyue nodded in agreement and hurried away.
Before long, Wen Yicheng and Shen Xubai were led over by a maid, and the two children obediently greeted them.
"Auntie (Miaomiao)."
Jiang Shumiao led them into the house.
Shen Qinghe lay in Wen Zhixuan's arms, and perhaps as a final burst of energy before death, her complexion was unusually rosy.
The two children ran over quickly.
“Mother (elder sister)”.
Shen Qinghe looked at them, a smile playing on her lips, but she could no longer speak. She reached out, wanting to touch her son one last time, but her hand suddenly fell back down.
Wen Zhixuan's heart clenched, and a sharp pain spread.
The woman in his arms had already closed her eyes.
The spider lily in her hand transformed into a stream of light and entered her body. She looked the same as usual, as if she were just asleep.
Soon, the sound of a child crying filled the room.
Jiang Shumiao kept her hands behind her back and remained silent.
White banners were hung at the Wen residence.
The snow fell heavily that day, seemingly foreshadowing an exceptionally cold winter.
On the same day, Gu Zhiqing gave birth to a girl safely.
Cause and effect cycle, the universe changes in an instant.
Shen Qinghe had a bad reputation during his lifetime, but after his death, his family finally remembered to pay their respects. Out of respect for the dead, no one said anything about the inauspiciousness of a stillborn child.
Xiao Yitang noticed that her daughter was in a low mood and asked her, "What's wrong?"
The Jiang and Shen families had long since lost contact; it was already a miracle they weren't enemies. However, death is the end, and since they were relatives after all, it was still necessary to make a visit.
The situation is rather awkward for the Lu family.
By seniority, Shen Qinghe should call Xiao Yitang "aunt." Xiao Yitang disliked Shen Qinghe, but she wouldn't deliberately speak ill of her behind her back. Unfortunately, Shen Qinghe died in childbirth, while her daughter-in-law happened to give birth to a healthy daughter.
On one side is a funeral, and on the other side is a celebration.
The two families are also related.
She certainly couldn't come to pay her respects in person; most people are quite superstitious about such things. She only sent her eldest and youngest sons to express their condolences.
Jiang Shumiao lowered her head and remained silent.
The spider lily inside Shen Qinghe's belly is actually her true form.
She is the flower, and Wen Zhixuan is the leaf.
Flowers bloom without leaves, and leaves appear without flowers.
The separation of life and death was an inevitable end.
Wen Yicheng was the unexpected one that should never have existed.
After the funeral, Wen Zhixuan visited Jiang Shumiao again.
Why was Qinghe able to give birth to Yicheng safely?
On her deathbed, Shen Qinghe recalled her origins and finally understood why she had been unable to obtain what she desired throughout her life.
At the moment of death, the obsession that had been swirling in his heart finally dissipated.
Jiang Shumiao said, "You two were originally one, but you were born in the wrong time and space, and you should never have been together. But she was too obsessed with you, and she gave up her soul to bring about this child."
The red spider lily, which grows without ever having leaves.
If Shen Qinghe had stayed far away from Wen Zhixuan, she wouldn't have died, or at least not so young.
Just as it's written in the Book of Fate.
But the ending was still predetermined.
His soul was scattered and his spirit was destroyed.
Wen Zhixuan remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Shumiao felt a heavy weight in her heart.
The red spider lily originally bloomed in the realm of the gods. Years ago, she burned down the River of Oblivion and felt that the underworld was barren and lacked any bright color, so she brought the seeds of the red spider lily from the realm of the gods to the underworld.
Who knew that one of them would produce a flower spirit.
However, the flower and the leaf split into two separate souls and were transported to different times and spaces.
That's why Shen Qinghe fell in love with Wen Zhixuan at first sight.
Unfortunately, Wen Zhixuan was filled with hatred at the time, and he also had a vague affection for Jiang Shuman. In addition, he saw through Shen Qinghe's deception and scheming, and thus severed their relationship from the very beginning.
However, because the two were originally one, they cherished each other and found solace in one another.
Jiang Shumiao felt as if she had become a sinner.
So I haven't been in a good mood.
After a long silence, Wen Zhixuan finally spoke, "I want to go find my ancestors."
Jiang Shumiao was taken aback.
"You're resigning?"
Wen Zhixuan hummed in agreement.
"I came here with a heavy responsibility."
He glanced at Jiang Shumiao.
"You once said that you knew the whereabouts of the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable?"
Jiang Shumiao: "..."
She knows, she is.
However, she didn't want to tell Wen Zhixuan this secret for the time being.
"You want to go to the East China Sea?"
Wen Zhixuan didn't hide anything, "Didn't you say before that the destruction of the Immortal Realm might be related to me? Instead of speculating, why not go and verify it yourself? Perfect, I'll take Yi Cheng to become your disciple while I'm at it."
