Is this the Si family?
Is this the Shouyuan clan?
Looking at the depressing scene in the Si Mansion, Illya couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in her eyes. She felt that what she saw in front of her was completely different from what she thought in her heart.
The garden, which has not been repaired for a long time, is overgrown with weeds, and there are almost no decent plants visible. A few flowers are scattered here and there, red, orange, white, purple, bright colors, but not large-scale, let alone very beautiful.
The building in front was stained and dilapidated, and the servants of the mansion were few and far between, walking in a hurry. It was clearly a bright and sunny day, but most of the people's faces were gloomy, and there was no smile at all.
decay!
These two words appeared in the minds of Illya and Gu Tiancai almost at the same time.
The Si family in the Sky City, who is famous for teaching the art of seducing women, is actually many times more depressed than expected. Just looking at the scene in front of him, it would not be inappropriate to say that it is a poor family.
"Where is Si Yuanyuan's residence?"
Illya stopped a servant who was passing by in a hurry and asked pleasantly.
"Si Yuanyuan? Who is that?"
Unexpectedly, this person looked blank, as if he had never heard of this name before, "No."
"The master's daughter."
Illya's pretty face changed slightly, and she asked anxiously, "How come you haven't heard of it?"
"He has only been in the house for half a year."
Si Miaochang's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Of course it's impossible for me to have heard about Yuanyuan."
"You can actually break free from the pressure of my soul."
Illya slowly turned around, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "I underestimated you before."
At this moment, Si Miaochang looked pale and panting. A large amount of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, soaking most of his chest and skirt. There were several wrinkles on his face, as if he had aged a hundred years in an instant.
"I only had a hundred years left to live."
Si Miaochang smiled bitterly and said, "Just to stand up, I wasted fifty years of my life."
"I see."
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Tiancai's eyes, "Is this the ability of the Shouyuan clan?"
"You have also seen the situation of the Si family."
Si Miaochang pointed to the servant who was stopped by Ilia for questioning. There was a bit of bitterness and helplessness in his words, "They are almost so poor that they can't even afford to eat, so naturally they can't pay much.
The people hired to work have changed one after another, and almost no one can survive two months. Someone like him who has not left for half a year is already considered rare. How could he know Yuanyuan who has been away for so many years? "
"What? If you don't shout, fight or kill?"
Gu Tiancai looked at him with a half-smile but said, "Are you trying to win Ilia's sympathy by being so miserable?"
"How can a small Si family like us get involved in the fight between Litu Coast and Goddess Mountain?"
Si Miaochang suddenly bent his legs and sat down on the ground with a plop. As if he had exhausted all his strength, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I acted so tough in the past, but it was just because of my pride that I didn't want you to come in."
, now that it has been seen, there is no need to continue to pretend."
"lead the way."
A complex look flashed in Illya's eyes, her aura slowly dissipated, and she uttered two words coldly.
"Come with me."
Si Miaochang felt his whole body relax, and immediately jumped up from the ground, walking ahead without hesitation, "The rooms of the two girls Yuanyuan and Qianqian are adjacent to each other. They have remained the same over the years and no one has ever lived in them."
Ilia and Gu Tiancai followed closely behind, turning left and right along the corridor, and soon came to two ordinary bungalows. According to Si Miaochang, it was Si Yuanyuan.
Si Qianqian’s former residence.
A table, two chairs, a wooden bed, a quilt, and an old dressing table.
Is this the environment where my mother lives?
The layout of the two rooms was almost exactly the same, and could only be described as "simple". Just looking at it made Ilya Qiong's nose sore, her eyes red, and she almost shed tears.
She originally thought that she had an unfortunate childhood and had a bad destiny since childhood, but now compared with Si Yuanyuan, her life in the Jinyao Palace can simply be described as happiness.
After a long time, she slowly walked out of the door, and happened to see a woman in a green skirt walking slowly past her. She had a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Her slender waist was twisting gently like a water snake, curling and graceful.
His graceful appearance exudes a charming and captivating power.
A woman's charm seems to be engraved in her bones, and every move she makes seems to touch the hearts of others. Even someone of the same sex as Ilia can't help but feel her heart beat faster and her cheeks feel slightly hot when she sees her.
"You must have heard that what our family is best at is teaching women how to please men."
Si Miaochang pointed to the woman in green skirt and said, "She is one of the best gentlemen here. Without them, the Si family might have ceased to exist."
"Why?"
Illya stared at the woman in the green skirt for a long time, and suddenly her heart became angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "You have hands and feet, you can practice, you can work, but why do you choose to embark on this path, even at the cost of your own life?"
Your biological daughter is used as a tool and sent to a strange man’s bed?”
"Practice?"
Si Miaochang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and suddenly laughed and said, "You also have the blood of the Si family flowing in your body. How could you not know that the life span of the Shouyuan family is determined at the moment of birth? Even if you try hard to
It cannot be changed even if the cultivation level is raised to the soul state. Moreover, people in our clan generally do not live to be two or three hundred years old, and their cultivation qualifications are mediocre. Someone like me who can live for more than a thousand years is already considered an outlier. With such a weak family strength,
How can we gain a foothold in this city in the sky where there are so many powerful people?"
"Because we are weak."
Illya became even more angry, clenched her pink fists, and her voice unconsciously raised an octave, "Are we going to sacrifice the women of the clan? What do you men do for a living?"
"Do you know how the clan members made a living when the family was at its most depressed?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Si Miaochang's eyes, and he laughed miserably and said, "Young women work as prostitutes, and men are responsible for soliciting business for them. Even though they made such a big sacrifice, the Si family almost couldn't persist.
Go down."
"you……"
Illya couldn't help but flew into a rage. Her delicate white right hand reached forward like lightning and grabbed his collar. She gritted her teeth and said, "Beast!"
"Beast? Maybe."
Si Miaochang just let her hold him and said calmly, "You were born in the palace, how do you know the hardships of the world? In this world where strength is respected, how can the weak survive if they don't sell their dignity?
"
"you……"
Illya opened her lips slightly, wanting to reply, but suddenly found that she didn't know how to refute.
If I hadn’t met Zhong Wen, my next
