Bai Jun was slightly stunned after hearing what Zhang Xuexue said: "Du Shiniang? Who is she? Why does she sound familiar to me?"

"Bai Jun, give me your box?"

"Why? Are you going to bring travel souvenirs to the tree demons too?"

Zhang Xuexue snatched his box without saying a word, and after fiddling with it for a while, she found a compartment hidden underneath. When she opened the lid of the compartment, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were revealed.

Bai Jun's eyes widened: "How can there be so many treasures hidden here? Fortunately, I took them at that time, otherwise I would have lost a lot! By the way, who is the Du Shiniang you just mentioned?"

Zhang Xuexue said, "You don't even know Du Shiniang? She is the protagonist of a story recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "Warning to the World". Du Shiniang, a famous prostitute in the capital, fell in love with the scholar Li Jia and entrusted her life to him. But Li Jia sold her to a wealthy businessman because of worldly concepts and interests. Du Shiniang was so angry that she sank the treasure chest and jumped into the river to commit suicide."

Bai Jun said: "Yes, I remember now, there seems to be such a story. So now I am Du Shiniang? This... is hilarious!"

Zhang Xuexue said, "Although many details have changed, the main plot of the story is surprisingly consistent. You left Mirror Flower Pavilion with nothing, but you took this treasure chest with you. Is this really a coincidence? I don't think so. If I were really Li Jia, who grew up under the influence of the concept of women being superior to men, I would have sold you out just now. And then you sank into the river with the treasure chest. Doesn't that perfectly fit the ending of the story?"

Bai Jun listened and felt scared: "Fortunately, it's okay! This is too suffocating, this is really a world of cannibalism! It's too difficult for men to survive here."

"It is difficult. But in the real world, women have lived in this difficult way for the past few thousand years."

Bai Jun looked at the surrounding scenery and felt an indescribable chill all over his body. "So this world is the control group of the real world? Why on earth is there such a world where everything is turned upside down?"

No one knows, not even Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming have any clue.

On this day, the two of them wandered around outside for a long time. Since they didn't find Bai Jun and Zhang Xuexue, they also didn't find a way to fly to the Moon Palace.

There is no choice but to return to the Sang Mansion temporarily.

Sang Feiwan thought about talking to Sang's mother, maybe she knew more?

As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw the servants busy hanging white cloth in front of a house.

Sang Feiwan glanced at the door: "Su Mansion?"

At this moment, Miss Su, who had been drinking with Sang Feiwan last night, came out. Seeing Sang Feiwan, she bowed and greeted him:

"Miss Sang, I was just about to send someone to your house to announce the death, but I didn't expect you to come first?"

When Sang Feiwan saw her wearing plain clothes, he asked, "Who died?"

Miss Su said calmly, "My wife. After she came back from your house last night, she fell down at home and had a miscarriage, and then... one body, two lives."

"How could he just fall down and die?" The person who asked the question was Yu Beiming.

As an intruder, although he did not have a deep friendship with Mr. Su, he just felt that Mr. Su's death was too sudden. It was still a corpse with two lives!

Yu Beiming couldn't help but think of last night, when the man held his bulging belly and said with hope on his face: "Whether I can live a good life in the future depends on whether I can give birth to a daughter this time."

Miss Su shook her sleeves and said lightly, "It's his own fault for being so careless. He walked around with such a big belly."

Yu Beiming's eyes turned cold and he asked, "Is that child a girl or a boy?"

"A boy," Miss Su replied, "just like his father, he is also unlucky."

Yu Beiming sneered: "Did you hit him last night?"

Miss Su did not answer, but turned to Sang Feiwan and said, "Your husband is so unruly. What does he mean by that? Is he questioning me? Humph, a man who lives in a deep house, instead of thinking about serving his parents-in-law and giving birth to a daughter, he asks about other people's affairs?"

Sang Feiwan looked at Miss Su coldly: "Did you hit Mr. Su?"

"I...what do you mean by that?"

"You hit him, so he got a miscarriage, right?"

"That's not true, don't talk nonsense! I have things to do in my house, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you!"

Miss Su turned away and glared at Yu Beiming before leaving.

Yu Beiming took a piece of silver and went to ask around. When he came back, his face looked very heavy.

"Last night, Mr. Su was beaten for some reason after returning home. He was beaten severely. Miss Su dragged him by his hair from the inner room to the outside of the courtyard and beat him with fists and feet. Later, he lost his pregnancy and gave birth to a boy not long after."

"He had already given birth to three boys, and the fourth was also a boy, but his parents-in-law didn't even come to see him. Perhaps because he was disheartened, Mr. Su threw the newborn baby into the well that night."

"Are you sad? Sad for someone you just met by chance?" Sang Feiwan turned to look at Yu Beiming.

Her expression remained calm, as if she would not be shaken by this human tragedy.

Yu Beiming said: "This world may not be real, but I know that everything that happens here is not groundless."

Sang Feiwan looked up at the sky. There was still a full moon hanging high in the sky, bright and round, like a pair of eyes, quietly spying on the joys and sorrows of the world.

You can vaguely see the light and dark areas on the moon, outlining the outline of a palace.

Is that really the Moon Palace?

Are there really immortals in the Moon Palace?

If there really is an immortal, why would he create such a world? A world that is extremely absurd and ironic?

Walking in the moonlight, they walked and the moon seemed to follow them.

Could it be that the fairy in the moon was also watching them at this moment?

Do you also hope that they can uncover the truth about this world?

As soon as I stepped into the Sang Mansion, two servants came to greet me.

One of them said to Sang Feiwan, "Miss, the lady is waiting for you in the study."

Another servant said to Yu Beiming, "Sir, the master wants you to come over and serve the medicine."

Sang Feiwan glanced at Yu Beiming sympathetically and said, "Just bear with it a little longer. I have a feeling it will be over soon."

Yu Beiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Sure enough, when he arrived at Sang's father's room, he saw him sternly scolding him, "Why are you so late? You're dawdling. Don't you want to serve me? Bring me the medicine!"

"Don't blame me for rubbing you. If you want to blame someone, blame your own belly for not being able to lay an egg! If you can give birth to a daughter for our Sang family, our whole family will regard you as a hero."

But tonight, Father Sang did not complain about the cold or hot medicine, nor did he ask Yu Beiming to massage his legs and shoulders. After a brief scolding, he let Yu Beiming go back.

Just when Yu Beiming was leaving, he heard Sang's father murmur in a low voice: "Don't blame our Sang family for being cruel. Men have to accept their fate!"

What does he mean?
