Chapter 209
Wen's mother shrank back. No one in Linghou Village was unafraid of Yan Zeli, and the older they were, the more afraid they became.
She took a few steps back, her face clearly showing cowardice; she was the epitome of someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
"Uncle Yan, what... what do you mean?"
"Don't call me Uncle."
Who is her uncle?
Yan Zeli frowned, his aura becoming even more fierce and terrifying. With a single glance from his dark eyes, Wen's mother felt as if she were being stared at by some ferocious, man-eating beast. Cold sweat broke out on her back, and her legs trembled.
Wen's mother swallowed hard and pointed weakly at Wen Xin, "She...she is my daughter."
Why can't a mother discipline her daughter?
Does Yan Zeli have any sense of reason?
Oh, he doesn't tell!
Wen's mother didn't dare to argue with him, so she could only pull her husband aside and try to get him to say something!
Wen Dafu is a man who is bossy at home but is considered honest by everyone outside. He has to give face to Yan Zeli, the village chief. Where did he get the courage to confront him?
He forced a few awkward laughs, "Uncle Yan, well, let's talk this out."
Yan Zeli narrowed his long, narrow eyes. "What are you trying to say?"
Wen Dafu: "..."
Wen Dafu could only look at his eldest daughter, who was timidly hiding behind Yan Zeli. He wanted to scold her, but he was also worried about Yan Zeli, so he could only force a smile and say, "Big girl, come out here. Dad has something to say to you."
Wen Xin: "..."
You're the eldest girl, your whole family are eldest girls!
Yan Zeli said coldly, "Can't you just say what you mean?"
Unlike the fat, bloated Chen Shengxiong, who resembled a mountain of flesh, the young man was tall, imposing, and had a particularly frighteningly cold gaze. When he got angry, he was far more terrifying than the cowardly Chen Shengxiong.
Then there's the terrible curse of the Yan family—anyone who offends the Yan family in Linghou Village, in this territory that was once Yan Family Village, will have their whole family die!
This is not sensationalism; it really happened!
Eighteen years ago, Yan Zeli's parents died unexpectedly. Some people coveted the Yan family's house and money, and tried to take advantage of Yan Zeli's young age and ignorance to steal his family's belongings.
And what was the result?
Within a few days, the families involved suffered a series of accidents, and none of them died.
Wen Dafu was even asked to help with the funeral arrangements back then, so the memory is particularly vivid.
It was around that time that they learned from the disappointed and frustrated scolding of the older, more experienced people:
The Yan family was a renowned family of feng shui masters in ancient times, and they were even appointed as imperial advisors by the emperor. They were incredibly prestigious.
Later, during the chaotic times, their family wisely withdrew from public life and lived in seclusion here ever since.
Rumor has it that this place was transformed into ancestral land by a once-powerful feng shui master of the Yan family, and is closely related to their descendants.
However, the Yan family had been divulging secrets of heaven for generations, and were cursed. Their numbers dwindled, and each member was destined to die young, until the entire family was wiped out.
Even so, as long as they live in this village, the Yan family is someone you can't mess with.
Although the old ways have long been destroyed, feudal superstitions have been opposed, and science has been promoted, villagers in rural areas, who are not well-educated, still hold a deep reverence for ghosts and gods.
Moreover, feng shui divination has always been mysterious, and the Yan family is an ancient feng shui family with a history of such practices. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Even ants cherish life, let alone humans!
Wen Dafu swallowed hard every time he looked into Yan Zeli's dark, lifeless pupils. He felt that those were not human eyes, but rather like those of a vengeful ghost.
Oh my god, that scared him to death!
Wen Dafu stammered, "What...what should I say?"
Yan Zeli looked down at Wen Dafu, then suddenly took Wen Xin's hand and made her stand beside him. "I want to marry Wen Xin. The betrothal gifts will be sent to your family tomorrow."
Wen Dafu: "Oh, oh, ah? What?"
Wen's mother also stared wide-eyed in shock.
Wen Man was the most agitated, "No, no, absolutely not! How can Wen Xin marry you?"
Yan Zeli said coldly, "Do you have the right to interrupt when your elders are speaking?"
Wen Man was so frightened by Yan Zeli's fierce aura that she hid behind her mother, grabbing her mother's hand and urging her to speak and object quickly!
Wen Xin, that bitch, only deserves to marry scum like Chen Shengxiong. He should beat her to death!
Although Yan Zeli's family line has ended, he lived such a glorious life in Linghou Village. Even if Wen Xin dies young after marrying him, she can still enjoy a period of prosperity.
This is something Wen Man will not allow.
Wen Xin deserves to be trampled in the mud and suffer a fate worse than death forever.
Wen Xin noticed the twisted and resentful look in Wen Man's eyes and smiled coldly to herself.
In Wen Man's so-called past life, the reason she married Chen Shengxiong was because she was greedy and coveted the good things in Chen Shengxiong's family. She deliberately lured him and took advantage of him.
But who is Chen Sheng-xiong?
He was just as cunning as Wen Man, and before long, he tricked her into bed.
Their "good deed" was witnessed by others, leaving Wen Man with no choice but to marry him.
But what does this have to do with Wen Xin?
Is it Wen Man's fault that Wen Xin had such a good life in her past life?
Then there's her system, which keeps telling Wen Man that Wen Xin is the female lead of this world, and if she wants to live a good life, she must suppress her relentlessly and prevent her from ever rising again.
Isn't Wen Man now treating Wen Xin as a thorn in her side?
But all Wen Xin could say was: You're insane!
Wen Man is such a brain-dead idiot!
Where no one could see, Wen Xin suddenly raised an eyebrow at Wen Man, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
What an idiot, trying to scheme against her?
Did the four of you have a good time last night?
No need to thank her!
Wen Man's pupils contracted, and her face contorted in shock.
It was her! It was her!
Wen Xin, that scheming white lotus!
This slut loved to put on airs in her past life, I never expected her to become so vicious now.
She should die! She should die!
Wen Xin disdainfully looked away. In this life, who knows who will die first!
Wen Man was going crazy, gripping her mother's hand tightly, "Mother..."
When her youngest daughter grabbed her, causing her pain, Wen's mother raised her hand and pinched her, "You brat, what are you doing?"
Although Wen's mother still loved Wen Man quite a bit, in her eyes, daughters were all a financial burden, while sons were her lifeblood.
Normally, Wen Man would make her happy, but if she offended her, she would deal with her just as ruthlessly.
Wen Man froze, quickly released her hand, and obediently apologized. However, she hinted to her mother that she had looked in the direction of the Chen family.
Does Wen's mother still want the Chen family's money?
Wen's mother's eyes immediately filled with greed, and she said to Yan Zeli awkwardly, "Uncle Yan, you and Wen Xin are not a good match, are you?"
Yan Zeli asked her, "What's wrong with it? Tell me!"
Mother Wen choked, "The generational difference between the two of you..."
Yan Zeli: "Are we from the same clan or the same lineage? You're the ones who decide our generational ranking, have I acknowledged it?"
Mother Wen: "..."
"But...but Wen Xin has already..."
