In the Xu family hall, Xu Xinlan sat on the main seat with a frosty face and said nothing.
A middle-aged woman who still retains her charm was chattering to her: "Xinlan, Master Wang has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you in. This is your great blessing. You must know how to cherish it!"
"You don't even look at how old you are, and you are a widow, but this is Jin Dan Zhenren..."
"Sister-in-law, stop talking!"
Xu Xinlan was so bored that she directly interrupted the other party's chatter: "Xinlan is already betrothed to someone else. Let alone Jin Dan, even if she is the Nascent Soul Immortal, I will not reach out to her."
After a pause, she added: "Please go back and tell the clan that no matter what Zhenren Wang promised, I don't agree!"
"you!"
The middle-aged woman suddenly raised her brows, with a pair of triangular eyes showing a vicious and mean look: "Xu Xinlan, don't be ungrateful. What kind of person is Mr. Wang? Since he has taken a liking to you, do you still have room to refuse?
"
"If you are wise enough to marry her, it will look good on everyone, and it will also be the glory of our Xu family."
"Xu's brilliance?"
Xu Xinlan was so angry that she laughed: "My husband passed away and my family's property was coveted. I asked the clan for help. What did the clan leader say at that time?"
"They cannot and do not want to control the water thrown out by their married daughter!"
"Don't you think it's ridiculous to talk about what Xu is talking about now?"
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but be speechless, and immediately became angry: "I won't tell you this, anyway, Master Wang is planning to hire someone, and the Grand Master has already agreed. You can marry me, or you can marry me!"
"in addition…"
She sneered: "Don't expect the Yin family to help you, they can't protect themselves now!"
After saying that, the middle-aged woman walked away.
Seeing the other person's leaving figure, Xu Xinlan's heart felt cold.
She felt like a moth caught in a spider's web. Even if she struggled desperately, she could not break free of the silk threads wrapped around her body.
In the past few years, the outside world has become more and more dangerous, with constant natural and man-made disasters, evil spirits and monsters, countless villages and fortresses have suffered, and countless people have died miserably.
The situation in Wanling City is not bad. After all, it is one of the nine outer cities of Xihai Sect. It has strong defense capabilities and it is very safe to live in the city.
However, in recent years, Xihaizong has increased its taxation, and business has gradually become difficult to do. It is not easy for Xu Xinlan, a widow, to support such a large family business.
Although she was taken care of by the Yin family, she was originally favored by Wang Chen, and Wang Chen had been away for nearly thirty years, and this favor had long since become weak.
Xu Xinlan had no choice but to sell a few shops and barely maintain the family business.
What she didn't expect was that after her family, the Xu family, moved from the outer city to Wanling City, they set their sights on her family fortune and even wanted to marry her to a new Jindan.
Be a concubine!
Xu Xinlan went to inquire about the real Wang Zhenren and found out that he had a very bad character. Not only did he like to sleep on flowers and willows, but he was also good at collecting tonics. It was said that he was a parallel import who relied on the treasures of heaven and earth to condense elixirs.
Marrying such a person is undoubtedly jumping into a pit of fire, and it will be difficult to live for a few more years!
Xu Xinlan knew Xu's intentions very well, so how could she agree?
However, she was alone and weak. Although the Xu family did not have a golden elixir, there were more than a dozen monks in the Zifu. With the pressure from the elders in the clan, she had almost no chance of resisting.
Today is the Xu family's forced conquest once again, and Xu Xinlan feels like a noose has been tied around her neck.
No more hesitation!
She stood up suddenly, went back to her room to pack her luggage, put all her valuables and house deeds and other things into a storage bag, and prepared to leave home.
Xu Xinlan also has a small house in Wanling City, where she can hide. As long as she stays behind closed doors and sees no one, it is unlikely that either Mrs. Xu or Mr. Wang will find her.
As for this big house and two shops, we can only give up temporarily.
However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as Xu Xinlan returned to the hall, she saw a middle-aged monk with a stern face sitting in the main seat drinking tea.
"Uncle Five!"
Xu Xinlan's heart sank suddenly.
The other party is one of Xu's Purple Mansion, and it is also a high-level Purple Mansion.
Although they are related to each other, Xu Xinlan is not familiar with this uncle at all.
The appearance of the other party means that Xu has completely broken his skin.
Xu Xinlan regretted it very much. She shouldn't have been reluctant to part with the family fortune. If she had left early, maybe everything would have been fine.
"Xinlan, where do you plan to go?"
The middle-aged monk put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "You are going to get married soon, so you'd better stay at home and dress yourself up. In two days, it will be the auspicious day, and Zhenren Wang will send someone to pick you up."
"
There was a hint of anger in Xu Xinlan's eyes, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists.
The middle-aged monk's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to Xu Xinlan, who immediately became unable to move.
Xu Xinlan bit her lip. She only hated that her cultivation level was not high and she couldn't do it even if she tried her best. She felt angry and sad at the same time.
The middle-aged monk smiled proudly and continued: "Your parents are no longer here, so I, the fifth uncle, will be your elder. You don't have to worry about family affairs. I will send someone to take care of it."
He looked at his cousin with a playful look, like looking at a fish on a chopping board.
This matter has become a settled matter and no changes will be allowed.
Xu Xinlan can only accept her fate!
What happened next was a matter of course.
This high-ranking Zifu was personally in charge, and the Xu family quickly took over the mansion, as well as the shops under Xu Xinlan's name.
Xu Xinlan herself was also locked in the boudoir and was not allowed to go out.
In order to prevent her from struggling to escape, the Xu family also placed a restraint on her, sealing her magic power!
Two days later, Xu Xinlan was forced to put on a bright red wedding dress under the service of two maids, and then she was put on a sedan chair and sent to the Wang family with people blowing her.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Xu Xinlan was so heartbroken that even the bright red rouge could not cover up her pale face.
"Wang Lang..."
She closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell down her cheeks.
After nearly thirty years of hard waiting, Xu Xinlan didn't know if Wang Chen was still alive, nor did she know if her persistence was meaningful.
If Wang Chen is still alive, does he still remember the agreement between the two?
And just when Xu Xinlan felt extremely desperate, Huaqiao suddenly stopped, and there were bursts of noise in front of it.
problem occurs?
Xu Xinlan suddenly opened her eyes, feeling a strong throbbing in her heart.
She felt that she was about to face a huge change!
The next moment, the sedan curtain suddenly opened.
