Weirdly, or rather, Yu Qiuyan smiled miserably, knowing that she would never be spared today, and finally there was no trace of gaudiness or flattery in her eyes.
She turned her eyes and looked at the small courtyard carefully for a long time as if no one else was watching, and then she began to narrate it as if she was dreaming.
Thirty years ago, there was a loving couple in Baishi City who were praised by all the neighbors.
The man was a poor scholar and the son-in-law of the only daughter of the Yu family in Songxiang Street.
Although he was a son-in-law, the Yu family did not treat the scholars badly at all. The little silver baht the old man and his wife earned from managing the family business were almost all used to support the scholars in studying and writing.
Although Yu Qiuyan was an only child and had been pampered in every way since she was a child, after getting married, she took good care of her family and looked forward to the day when her husband would be named on the gold medal list.
The scholar has indeed lived up to his family's expectations. From a boy to a scholar, everything has been smooth sailing, ranking first in high school.
But in the autumn of that year, the scholar unexpectedly lost his reputation in the capital city.
When the scholar returned to Baishi City in despair, although the Yu family was a little disappointed, they did not give up their support for him.
Yu Qiuyan even refused to let him worry about the trivial matters at home. He was really "not touching the spring water with his fingers and only reading the books of sages"!
Logically speaking, if a wife is obtained like this, what else does a husband want?
But no one knows that the reason why the scholar lost his reputation this time has nothing to do with his knowledge and moral character, but because he wrote a manuscript for a world-famous nobleman in the capital - Yu Guogong.
I don’t know if Yue Lao messed up the mandarin duck book. Anyway, Yu Guogong’s youngest daughter met the scholar by chance one day, and she fell in love at first sight, and her heart secretly fell in love with him.
But at this time, the scholar was very arrogant and devoted himself to repaying his kindness to his family by winning a gold medal. He loved his wife so much, but he would never change his mind.
When a classmate vaguely mentioned this matter, the scholar immediately sternly rejected Yu Guogong's kindness.
Pity him, a bookworm who is absorbed in books, how can he know the dangers of this world? The scholar doesn't know what his rejection means?
He didn't even know what kind of power a man of great power possessed, who controlled the violent organization of the Exorcism Department for Emperor Yan.
Strictly speaking, Yu Guogong didn't do anything to the scholar, or in other words, he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
Everyone in the Duke's palace believed that this was just a whim of their little master, just like the naughty boy who wanted to understand his beloved toy when he saw it.
Maybe if I get some sleep tonight, I'll forget about it in the morning.
But just because the Duke's government doesn't care, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't care.
There was no need for him to worry about such a trivial matter. He was just a poor scholar from a small place, and he didn't even need to do anything special.
All it takes is for someone to point out a few sentences with a little care, and the poor scholar's lifelong hard work can be completely wasted.
No one knows what kind of emotional journey the scholar went through when he walked out of the capital with a bleak figure.
When he returned to Baishi City, the scholar seemed to suddenly have a new understanding of how to deal with others. He was sweet-tongued and quick-handed, which made the old couple in his family happy and doting on his beloved wife.
On weekdays, he is even more aloof than before. Even when he sees traffickers and lackeys, he smiles, is gentle and polite.
For a time, everyone in Baishi City was praising and admiring the scholar.
The reputation of the couple's love became so famous in Baishi City at this time that even the county prince held a special banquet for the scholar, wishing him to be named the best in the gold medal list in the coming year.
But hidden under this bright appearance is the gloom and mist that hangs over the entire Yu family.
Perhaps due to years of hard work day and night, especially after the scholar returned home from the capital, the old couple were all bedridden for some reason. After exhausting the family's meager savings, they still could not survive that winter.
After losing the family's largest source of income, the Yu family's situation plummeted.
But the house leaked and it rained all night.
At the beginning of spring, Yu Qiuyan, who had always been in good health, also contracted cold. What was even worse was that when she was called to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, she was found to be pregnant.
Under the repeated blows, the scholar, who had always only known how to study hard behind closed doors, had no choice but to put down his books, concentrate on taking care of his beloved wife, manage the family business, and reopen the ancestral shop at home.
It may be that the scholar's skills are all focused on reading and taking exams, but the business cannot make ends meet and the losses are a mess.
Because of his beloved wife's illness and the child in her belly, the scholar could only sell the store with tears and concentrate on taking care of Yu Qiuyan at home.
But this disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread spinning, and nine out of ten people are unsatisfied in life.
In short, even in autumn, even if Yu Qiuyan gave up her child in tears, her condition still kept coming back and forth, getting worse every time.
The scholar originally didn’t want to attend this year’s Autumn Festival.
But every time Yu Qiuyan saw that figure, he couldn't help but get up in the middle of the night to read books. When he was free, he seemed to have lost all his life and sat in the courtyard like a puppet.
This virtuous woman finally couldn't bear the scholar to give up, and even threatened death and sent the scholar out of the house.
Only half a month after the scholar left, Yu Qiuyan passed away with regret!
As the memories flow, Yu Qiuyan's expression also changes, confused, sweet, nostalgic...
In the end, it completely turned into a deep hatred.
Vicious?
Well, Xu Luo, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but frown.
Although this woman's life was a bit tragic, in this era, it doesn't take too much to say something unpleasant, and in the hearts of most people at this moment, I'm afraid it will still be a good story.
As for the Yu family whose family was ruined, it could only be due to bad luck. Who can prevent such natural disasters and illnesses?
Is her obsession going against nature?
Yu Qiuyan seemed to guess what he was thinking, a sneer appeared on her charming face, and her voice was as cold as ice.
"This story happened thirty years ago, but my good husband has never appeared in White Rock City since then.
I used this stone mirror that I got accidentally to retain a trace of obsession. I have been waiting here for thirty years, but I have never said a word!"
Xu Luo was shocked, his face suddenly changed, and he felt a chill that he had never experienced before enveloped his heart.
Only then did he understand what Yu Qiuyan hated?
What she hates is not God, nor the people of White Rock City. Otherwise, with her weird phantom power, even if Xu Luo kills her now, only half of the people in this city will survive.
Think about it again, all the changes in the Yu family occurred after the scholar failed the exam and returned home.
At this time, even Xu Luo's eyes flashed with a fierce light. No wonder there is no good scholar in the world!
Everyone said that this strange creature was vicious and cunning, but at this moment, it seemed that it could not win the hearts of the people.
