Chapter 111
In the end, Wen Xin still couldn't get any information about her fiancé from Huo Shaoshuai.
Huo Jingzhou must be crazy to talk to her about Huo Jingfeng.
Oh, unless it's bad news about Huo Jingfeng that makes her want to break off the engagement, then Young Marshal Huo would be happy to talk about it.
However, the time was not right, and Huo Shaoshuai regretted it!
Wen Xiaobaitu Xin didn't think much of it, assuming that Huo Shaoshuai was busy with important matters.
She left obediently, not wanting to cause him any more trouble.
Huo Jingzhou: "..."
The young marshal was deeply troubled because the innocent girl was still oblivious to the world and even had designs on other men.
Forget it, let's take her away from Biancheng, this heartbreaking place, back to Haicheng to resolve her engagement with Huo Jingfeng, and then slowly boil the little white rabbit in warm water!
She still has three years of mourning left, and she's still young, so there's no need to rush.
Huo Jingzhou in his previous life probably thought the same way: Wen Xin was filial, and it was impossible for her to discuss marriage before completing the three-year mourning period for her father.
However, how powerful is the Heavenly Dao plot?
She was willing to do anything to marry Huo Jingfeng.
How could he still remember the period of filial piety for his father?
It's fair to say that this awful, angsty storyline, in its pursuit of a deeply tragic love, completely disregards the female lead, turning her into a love-struck, mindless sycophant, or rather, a walking corpse.
Wen Xin often wondered how much money the male protagonist of the abusive novel had secretly bribed the Heavenly Dao.
How can someone who is morally corrupt and has committed countless evil deeds still manage to achieve success in both career and love?
In most tragic novels, the male lead is always the biological son, while the female lead is always the stepmother's daughter, and she's lucky to even be alive.
"Master, why did you mention the male lead in front of the male supporting character?"
Wen Xin returned to her bedroom, with Xiao Jinfei beside her.
In the darkness, a golden halo lingered, making the girl in white appear even more like a fairy descended from the moon palace.
However, little did anyone know that this girl only possessed the ethereal beauty and flawless temperament of a fairy; in reality, she was deeply cunning and cold-hearted, even surpassing the sorceress in defiance.
So, Xiao Jin didn't quite understand why her owner always liked to play the role of an innocent and pure girl.
The master is clearly a highly poisonous man-eating flower... cough cough cough, Little Gold silently swallowed the last sentence, it would never dare to say it out loud.
“Wrong,” Wen Xin said slowly, “It’s not that I like to play the role of an innocent and pure girl, but that I don’t want to change the original personality of the soul fragments.”
Xiao Jin was even more confused, "Why?"
Aren't you happy with the powerful female lead character who dominates the battlefield?
Wen Xin glanced at Silly Butterfly, "Then how am I supposed to tell the people around me who have been with the soul fragments for over ten years that I've suddenly become incredibly awesome?"
"Did a tragic event cause your personality to change drastically? If that were you, would you believe it?"
Like a wet nurse, she knew Wen Xin's personality all too well: timid, simple, and indecisive, yet in the blink of an eye, she could transform into a formidable and powerful woman.
Isn't that nonsense?
It would be strange if the wet nurse didn't suspect that she was possessed by a wandering ghost!
It's possible to change gradually. After all, the Wen family was massacred, her loved ones were murdered, and she became a helpless orphan. She had no choice but to become strong and resourceful. That's understandable.
But this will take a long time; it can't be changed overnight.
Moreover, although the Wen family has suffered a great calamity and Wen Xin has lost her father who protected her, she has not actually suffered much hardship so far, because she has Huo Jingzhou.
He has shielded her from all the bad things that might happen to her after the Wen family's misfortune, stabilized the Wen family which was in turmoil, and ensured that she would remain the eldest daughter of the Wen family with endless wealth and a carefree life.
That's why, when the fragments of her soul from her previous life went to the Huo family, she still retained a simple and easily deceived personality.
Unfortunately, due to the twists of fate, she no longer trusted Huo Jingzhou, ignored all his advice, and continued to distance herself from him, which led to her being completely deceived by the second concubine, handing over the Wen family's wealth to her and Huo Jingfeng.
Even when Huo Jingzhou tried to help her take it back, she blocked him from doing so.
Well, at that time, she had already been controlled by the Heavenly Dao plot and had become a complete idiot.
However, by the same token, what conditions does Wen Xin currently have to change her personality?
Besides, Wen Xin really didn't think her current pure, kind, and innocent persona was bad.
Isn't it precisely because she is kind and innocent that the warlord Huo, who is suspicious and ruthless, is so unguarded and lets her get close to him?
Wen Xin is capable of resolving Huo Jingfeng's engagement herself, but things would become much simpler if Huo Jingzhou intervened.
She's not afraid of trouble, but she also doesn't want to be entangled in it.
It would be foolish not to take the shortcut!
It's great to be a powerful, independent woman, but unfortunately, Wen Zhushen was unambitious in the Great World, so don't expect her to be very diligent in the Small World either.
Her goal is to solve existing problems in the most efficient way.
Besides, how could she betray the heart of a knight who was willing to fight for her?
Xiao Jin couldn't help but complain, hitting the nail on the head, "Actually, Master, you're just lazy!"
Wen Xin: "...Shut up!"
Xiao Jin immediately backed down and started flattering him relentlessly.
Master, you are the most beautiful. Your charm is boundless, causing the male supporting character to bang his head against the wall for you.
But that makes sense. If someone does everything perfectly for you, who would want to work hard?
Moreover, rather than killing enemies with a swift and decisive strike, Wen Xin prefers to kill them from behind without consequence.
How wonderful it would be to have a pure white, flawless fairy!
She loved the way Huo Jingzhou was infatuated with her.
However, "Master, even if you want to be a fairy, you don't need to use the male lead to provoke the male supporting character, do you?"
Wen Xin looked at Xiao Jin like she was a fool. "What's wrong with a kind-hearted fairy caring about her fiancé?"
Xiao Jin: "..."
It sees its master as someone who is simply trying to incite hatred against the male lead, and it wishes the male supporting character would tear him to pieces!
Of course, a clueless male lead like Huo Jingfeng deserves all the abuse he gets.
Moreover, mentioning the male lead to Huo Jingzhou more often can give him a sense of crisis and promote the development of their relationship.
A little bit of romance between a man and a woman is nothing to worry about!
...
Half a month later, Huo Jingzhou had completely stabilized the situation in Biancheng. He sent a trusted general to lead troops to garrison there, and Biancheng thus came under the control of the Huo family.
After several unsuccessful attempts to negotiate, the Dai family sought to unite with other warlord forces to put pressure on Huo Jingzhou. They even sent people to Haicheng to confront Huo Jingzhou.
However, the other warlords weren't fools. Would they risk offending the rising star Huo Jingzhou for the sake of that bunch of stupid and cowardly good-for-nothings from the Dai family?
General Huo simply couldn't be bothered to acknowledge his family.
The son had rightfully reclaimed the city from the enemy, yet they wanted him to hand it over to someone else?
What, just because he hasn't been on the battlefield for a few years, you think he's a philanthropist?
Marshal Huo showed restraint by not shooting the Dai family members.
Putting aside the cowardice of the Dai family, just because of the Wen family, his sworn brother and future in-laws were brutally murdered, it was impossible for Commander Huo to have a good impression of the Dai family.
