Liu She muttered, “20? That can’t be right.”
He did not doubt that Li Yun was Xie Qian’s son. He looked exactly like Xie Qian when he was young; however, Li Yun’s eyebrows were similar to his mother’s.
If they did not look so similar, he would not have mistaken him for Xie Qian.
Thinking about Li Yun’s surname, he felt that his age was most likely fake. Xie Qian purposely said he two years older.
Li Yun left with a stomach full of doubt.
Jiang Pengji, who had not spoken for a long time, asked Liu She, “Is there a problem with Han Mei’s background?”
“He’s Xie Qian’s son. His face is the best proof.” Liu She took a deep breath and continued, “Xie Qian was a talented and romantic youth a decade ago. He was the dream lover of many aristocratic ladies. However, I didn’t expect him to hide up in Fengyi County with his son for so many years. He didn’t even pass a message back home. He must’ve suffered a lot. Now Li Yun is your subordinate. This is a twist of fate.”
Jiang Pengji frowned and replied, “Are you talking about… that Xie Qian?”
Was Li Yun the son of that woman?
“Who else?” Liu She scoffed.
“If Xie Qian goes to Zhongzhao Palace to seek revenge, doesn’t that make him a uxoricide?”
Liu She replied disdainfully, “She cannot be considered his wife anymore. She’s just a demon that possessed Xie Qian’s wife.”
Wang Huiyun was once Xie Qian’s wife. She was known as the beauty of Langye, but she died long ago due to obstructed labor.
However, a pernicious woman survived. She was licentious, merciless, and
What did it feel like? Wang Huiyun was once a goddess to many talented, young men. However, not many people knew that a ghost of unknown origins had possessed their goddess. She transformed from pure and kind to lascivious and vicious. Liu She sympathized with Xie Qian. If Wang Huiyun had truly died from obstructed labor, death would have ended all of her troubles.
However, her body was possessed. She used her body to have affairs with all kinds of men.
One would feel utterly disgusted just by thinking about it, let alone seeing it with their own eyes.
Jiang Pengji frowned. It was rare for Liu She to bring up the past. She questioned closely, “The body of Xie Qian’s wife is possessed?”
“Yes.” Liu She nodded. “Xie Qian and Wang Huiyun were childhood sweethearts. Many people had their hearts broken when they got married. She gave birth to a son a year later, and I think Li Yun is the child. However, when Wang Huiyun gave birth, Xie Qian’s behavior became strange. He was impatient and cold to his wife. He visited the Buddhist temple every day, but he behaved as if nothing happened in front of people.”
Jiang Pengji listened to him carefully. The audience in the streaming room felt that they had opened a door to a new world. There was quite a lot of information contained in the words of the streamer’s father!
“And then?” Jiang Pengji questioned closely.
“After the child’s full-month celebration feast, Xie Qian went to Hejian with his wife and son, saying that he wanted to visit the Buddhist abbot, Master Liaochen, of Shangfo Temple.” Liu She sneered coldly. His gentle eyes grew terrifyingly cold. “However, paradigms changed over time. On the way to Hejian, the couple ran into thieves. Xie Qian risked his life to protect his wife. He and his son unfortunately died.”
“But… Xie Qian and Han Mei are still alive…”
“So, Wang Huiyun is lying.” Liu She looked somber. “She was the one who sent the thieves to get rid of Xie Qian, who was an eyesore. Xie Qian discovered her abnormality and wanted Master Liaochen to get rid of her. How could she not be afraid of a ghost of unknown origins?”
As Liu She told the story, the atmosphere of the entire streaming room became tense.
Quan Qudao Tuijian Haibulai: “Am I the only one whose hair is standing on end?”
Laosiji Lianmeng: “I’ve sorted out my thoughts. The general content is that Xie Qian’s wife was possessed by something when she gave birth. Xie Qian realized something was wrong, but the time-travel woman who possessed his wife’s body ‘killed’ Xie Qian and his son first. Of course, Li Yun and his master are still alive. The time-travel woman most likely killed the streamer’s mother and still bears a deep-seated hatred with the streamer’s father. This time-travel woman is impressive.”
Shanzhatiao: “Hahaha. The above comment is mind-blowing, but it makes sense. What’s going on?”
Yinyuejia Zhuge Qinmo: “#cuppingmycheeks. The people in ancient times aren’t stupid. Aren’t the people close to them confused by their sudden changes? Xie Qian thinks that a lost ghost possessed his wife’s body. It’s no wonder he wanted to look for someone to get rid of the demon. However, the time-travel woman is impressive. She had an amazing counterattack. She’s also a cruel and merciless person. I wonder if she’ll threaten the streamer.”
Meikong Caishi Zhengyia: “Are you joking? Is there anyone that poses a threat to the streamer? The last person who could died long ago. But then again, the streamer has to be really careful. The time-travel woman is obviously hard to deal with. I think the time-travel woman has a sense of superiority. Is that because I’ve read too many dumb, time-travel novels?”
Youyou Heshibi: “This is definitely a world full of time travelers. Listen to my analysis. The time-travel woman is after the men in the harem. The streamer’s mother was a gentle woman that farmed, and the streamer’s here to contend for supremacy. Judging from this, the streamer seems like a traitor. She steals men’s jobs instead of concerning herself with love and romance. She’s awesome.”
Jiagengle Haidaoqianzhai: “You don’t get it. The streamer’s stratagem is remarkable. She can sleep with all kinds of men when she becomes the Emperor. That’s how a time-traveler should act. They should party to the fullest. What’s the use of foolishly competing with multiple women for a man? He has already used his penis on so many women. All the men in the world should break their necks to fight for her. Women contend for a man’s single glance. What’s the point?”
With that being said, the streamer, who usually seemed light-minded, became superior.
“What does she hope to accomplish?” Jiang Pengji did not understand.
“Hah, who knows,” Liu She answered disdainfully. “However, her ambition is wild. You must be careful.”
Jiang Pengji nodded. Even though Liu She did not tell her to, she took precautions.
Liu She suddenly thought of something. “Oh, right…” Liu She said, “There was an arranged marriage that year.”
Jiang Pengji was puzzled. “…What?”
“Aren’t your mother and Xie Qian childhood friends? They used to joke that the two families should become in-laws.” Liu She looked at Jiang Pengji helplessly. “Lanting, you’re 16 years old this year. Are you not thinkin about marriage? I think although Li Yun is a little dull-witted. Xie Qian’s son wouldn’t be too bad. He’s quite handsome too. If you like him, you can take him.”
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. “…No, thanks. I’m not interested in raising a son.”
