Chapter 323 An old friend visits
"Our family is very clear about this kind of cause and effect obsession. Either you let him die, or he will continue to reincarnate, continue to wait for you, continue to endure incurable illness, and then die at the age of thirty, burdened by obsession for eternity. Can you bear it?" Lingxian was trying to persuade her kindly. She came here because she knew this.
An Yan chuckled and said, "You are very clear about it. I guess you have calculated it well."
"I'm here to take Li Rongsen away. You can't be with him. You and him have never been destined to be together. Why force it?"
"Who are you to him?" An Yan asked her back.
"I have been his wife," Lingxian replied, adding, "If we meet again in this life, I will be his wife again."
An Yan looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you the woman destined to be with him?"
"Those who have been married are naturally destined to be together. Who is Wang Lina? She is just a wild chicken. Naturally, she will never be the wife. This is her fate. She will only be a concubine in every life." Lingxian said this with full of pride.
An Yan thought carefully and didn't intend to discuss it with her too much. She said, "Everything is impermanent, and everything is possible."
"I believe in fate. If it's destined to happen, it will happen. If it's not destined to happen, don't force it." Lingxian's words could be considered as advice to her. She added, "That man has not given enough to you. What's wrong with you agreeing to him? You owe him in the first place."
“So I’m paying him back.”
"If you can't pay it back, you can only use this to offset it. Any other struggles are in vain."
An Yan frowned, feeling a surge of energy in her chest. She spat out another mouthful of blood and said, "There will be a way."
Lingxian handed her a handkerchief, sat down in front of her, and said, "There is a way, but it will require the sacrifice of an innocent life. Whose life are you prepared to sacrifice?"
"I don't have such plans." An Yan replied.
"You can also act recklessly and be with Li Rongsen without letting go of your obsession, but you won't live long, and he will become your widow in three days. I'm sure you don't want that." Lingxian said.
An Yan sighed. That was why she untied the red rope. She had thought that she would die and West City would be ownerless, so she tied the red rope around him so that he could take over the position of West City Lord smoothly.
Lingxian handed An Yan a pill and said, "Take it, it will make you feel better."
"Thank you very much." An Yan didn't take the medicine from her hand, and said coldly, "You can go out now. I heard everything you wanted to say."
Lingxian didn't force it, she got up and went out of the house.
A bright moon was hanging in the sky, but it was still a little hazy at the moment, unable to illuminate a black shadow that flashed by so quickly that even the immortal did not notice it.
An Yan, who was in the room, also didn't know what was going on. She was just in a daze. After thinking for a while, she went over and took one and ate it. Only then did she feel better.
There were footsteps outside the door, and someone was knocking on it, shouting, "An Yan, are you there?"
It was Yan Qingqiu's voice, which made An Yan tidy up immediately, and then said, "I'm here."
"Then why don't you light a lamp? It's dark now." Yan Qingqiu asked her.
An Yan changed her clothes and washed her face before going to open the door and saying, "I took a break and didn't realize it was already dark. Have you eaten yet?"
"Of course I didn't. I rushed here in a hurry." Yan Qingqiu told her, calling a servant and saying, "Hey, your city lord is back. Hurry and find someone to serve him."
The servant was startled at first, but then he saw An Yan standing at the door and hurried out to tell the old man.
Yan Qingqiu then said to An Yan, "I'm one step ahead of Li Rongsen, he should be here soon."
"What are you doing? It seems like you came back for something urgent." An Yan said.
"There's nothing urgent. I just thought you should come here, so I came over to have a good meal." Yan Qingqiu said with a grin again, his tone was cheerful, but his heart was heavy. He stared at An Yan and felt that this woman was really careless. She refused to trouble others for anything and insisted on carrying it all by herself.
An Yan saw the old man hurried over and said, "Hey, how come I didn't know the city lord was back? No one came to the door to announce it."
"I didn't let them know. It's not their fault. Please bring me the name tags you left behind recently." An Yan is now anxious to do this.
The old man said, "Let me let them eat first. There's no need to rush about this."
"Bring it up first." An Yan said again.
Seeing that she was so determined, the old man said nothing more and immediately asked someone to bring up the name tag.
An Yan flipped through the pages one by one. Most of the names were unfamiliar to her, and they were accompanied by photos. They were all beautiful, and even their personalities were marked. It can be seen that the old man was very careful in his work.
The food was served, and the old man said, "City Lord, you can have your meal now."
"Has Li Rongsen arrived?" An Yan asked, and then looked over at Yan Qingqiu. She found that he was in a rare state of deep thought, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something important. So she called out to him, "Yan Qingqiu, I'm talking to you."
Just as Yan Qingqiu turned around to answer, he saw Li Rongsen walk into the room. He said, "I'm late. Sorry."
"You're here at the right time. It's time to eat." An Yan said as she put down the name card in her hand and sat down at the table again.
Several people sat down together.
The old man was about to leave when he saw someone come and report, "City Lord, someone outside wants to see you."
"Who is it?" the old man asked on behalf of An Yan first.
"She said her name was Meidie and she came to get something. She hoped the city lord would see her." The servant said respectfully.
An Yan almost forgot about this matter, so she said, "Please ask her to come in and wait for me in the living room."
The people below agreed to retreat first.
The old man said, "I'll just go meet her. City Lord, please eat first. There's no need to worry about her little thing."
"No need, I'll go myself. I have something else to ask her." An Yan put down her chopsticks after taking two bites of the food, and said to Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen, "You guys eat first, I'll be there soon." After that, she went back to the shelf, picked up the butterfly jar and left.
Li Rongsen was about to get up and follow him, but was stopped by Yan Qingqiu. He said, "What are you busy with? Meidie is a woman, and this is West City. What else do you have to worry about?"
"That's true, but I'm afraid she'll suffer."
"That woman likes you, it would be bad if you went there." Yan Qingqiu reminded him, then put a fat chicken leg into An Yan's bowl and continued eating.
When Li Rongsen heard this, he thought it was true, so he sat down again, picked up the chicken leg that Yan Qingqiu had just picked for An Yan, tore it into strips, and picked some colorful vegetables and put them into her bowl.
An Yan on the other side just arrived at the living room. She saw Mei Die standing in the middle of the room in a pink long dress. Her skin looked even more sickly than before.
Meidie also saw her and said, "We agreed that you would cure my illness and return the things to me. You should keep your word, right?"
"Of course, I don't need to covet your little thing." An Yan said as she walked towards her and said, "Let's go to the herbal medicine hall. I will treat you. I also need to ask you something."
Mei Die was naturally happy. She followed Anyan and said, "The city has been very lively recently. Has Li Rongsen taken a fancy to anyone?"
"He said not yet." An Yan told her the truth.
"I won't join in the fun, but I can stay and watch the show." Mei Die chuckled. She actually wanted to have a competition, but unfortunately she had already lost before. Why bother to make herself bored again?
"It's up to you." An Yan didn't mind who came to watch the show. She took her into the herbal medicine hall and then led her into the house.
