Quickly wear a life of peace

Chapter 51: Liao Zhai White Lotus 2

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Sheng abandoned Du Juan without hesitation and only wanted to return to his hometown to marry the beautiful, rich and tall lady.

However, facing Du Juan's stunning beauty, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for her.

After careful consideration, Zhang Sheng decided to keep Du Juan for the time being and bring her back home as a concubine later.

After Du Juan knew Zhang Sheng's thoughts, she was furious like a volcano erupting. She secretly made up her mind to make this ungrateful man suffer and never forget this lesson.

So, Dujuan cleverly disguised herself as a young lady from a wealthy family and pretended to be in love with Zhang Sheng.

Then, she pretended to meet Zhang Sheng outside the city and promised to give him all her wealth.

To pave the way for him to pass the imperial examination, as long as Zhang Sheng could marry her after he passed.

Zhang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this and could not wait to go. He was overjoyed along the way, his mind full of the wealth and glory that was about to come.

But who would have thought that when Zhang Sheng excitedly arrived at the agreed place, what he saw was not the gold and silver treasures he had imagined, but instead his future father-in-law - Mr. Gao!

It turned out that Du Juan had already secretly written a letter to Zhang Sheng's fiancée's family, revealing Zhang Sheng's intention to break the engagement.

After receiving the letter, Mr. Gao was shocked and immediately sent people to conduct an in-depth investigation. As expected, his subordinates reported that they saw Zhang Sheng dressing up carefully and preparing to attend the meeting.

In a rage, Mr. Gao severely reprimanded Zhang Sheng and announced on the spot that the marriage between the two families would be cancelled. Thus, Zhang Sheng ended up losing both his wealth and his reputation.

Dujuan was very happy to see that Zhang Sheng got the punishment he deserved, and her anger subsided.

After Dujuan took revenge, she had nothing to do. She thought of Mudan whom she hadn't seen for a long time and wondered how she was doing now.

After meeting a hypocrite like Zhang Sheng, Dujuan no longer yearns for earthly men as before, and she is a little worried about Mudan.

She came to Mudan's house and they got along very well.

They began to talk about their daily lives. Dujuan enthusiastically told Mudan about her elaborate plan to teach Zhang Sheng a lesson.

Mudan listened attentively, with expressions of surprise and admiration on her face from time to time, as if she were there herself.

As the topic deepened, Dujuan gradually realized that there seemed to be an indelible sadness on Mudan's face.

This made Dujuan very strange. After all, Mudan was a demon with magical powers. What could possibly bother her?

During further communication, Mudan finally opened her heart and confided her unhappy marriage life.

It turned out that her husband treated her very harshly. Not only did he often speak ill of her, but he even beat her.

Speaking of sad things, Mudan couldn't help feeling sad, with tears welling up in her eyes.

When Dujuan learned that Mudan's life was not going well, she persuaded her to leave here with her and travel around the world. Mudan was tempted, but she couldn't let go of her family.

"He wasn't like this before. He and I have children, and I can't just abandon them like this." Mudan said softly.

Du Juan understood Mudan's concerns. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then we can think of other ways to get you out of your current predicament."

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door. Mudan's husband walked in drunk and slapped Mudan without saying a word.

"You bitch, how dare you talk to another man behind my back!" he cursed.

Mudan covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. Dujuan was furious when she saw this. She rushed forward, grabbed Mudan's husband by the collar, and lifted him up.

"How can you treat her like this! She is the wife who gave birth to your children!" Dujuan scolded.

Mudan's husband was frightened by Dujuan's aura and was speechless for a while.

"If you dare to bully Mudan again, I will never let you go!" Dujuan said harshly.

After saying that, she took Mudan's hand and said, "Come with me, let's leave this place together. What's there for you to miss about a man like this?"

Mudan looked at Dujuan, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head, "I can't leave. I can't let go of my child. My husband has only become like this because of a blow he suffered. I believe he will get better."

At this time, Feng Sheng also started to defend himself, "I know I was wrong, my dear, please don't leave. I was just suppressed everywhere outside and couldn't win face for you and the child. I was distracted for a moment. Please forgive me! Just now, someone also said bad things about you to me. I was impulsive at the moment. Please forgive me."

Mudan was moved to tears and quickly assured him, "My husband, don't worry, I won't abandon you. Let's work hard together. I believe you will be successful and realize your ambitions."

As they spoke, the two of them stared at each other affectionately, with only each other in their eyes, and no one else.

Dujuan sighed helplessly, feeling very disappointed with Mudan, and turned around and left Mudan's home.

If Bai Lian were here, she would definitely be filled with emotion. She was so in love that she dug wild vegetables, filling a sack at a time.

Du Juan left Mudan's house with a heavy heart, her steps seemed hesitant and confused, her heart was filled with endless confusion and helplessness.

The surrounding mountains and forests were silent, with only the occasional sound of wind and birdsong. Dujuan's thoughts were in a tangle, and she didn't know what to do or how to proceed.

The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves onto her, creating mottled shadows. But this warm light did not bring her any comfort, but made her feel even more lonely and helpless. Du Juan raised her head and looked into the distance, her eyes revealing confusion and loss.

Finally, she sighed helplessly and turned back to the mountains, a place she was familiar with, which might give her some peace and security.

She hopes that in the embrace of the mountains, she can find inner peace and re-examine her life and choices.

At dusk, the afterglow sprinkled on the pond, and Dujuan stood there quietly. Her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and confusion, and she spoke softly about her experience.

Dujuan talked about human greed and cunning. She didn't understand why humans would do anything to hurt others for their own benefit.

"I thought Zhang Sheng was bad enough, but I didn't expect there was someone more hateful than him." Dujuan said indignantly.

"This world is like this, there is good and there is evil." Bai Lian sighed. But she always felt something was strange in her heart, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Then what can we do?" Xiyan asked.

Du Juan was silent for a while, "We can only protect ourselves and not be eroded by the darkness of this world."

Bai Lian and Xi Yan nodded in agreement.

"But I still want to thank you for listening to my complaints," Dujuan said with a smile.
