After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

At this moment, lightning struck from high in the sky with a cold and white light, and glowed in the cave, but in a flash, only emptiness and vastness remained.

After Yang Xuelian finished speaking, he stood up and waved his sleeves. A chilly wind was all around him. After a while, it became colder and colder, as if he had fallen into a freezing abyss.

Feng Qiwu looked him in the eye and suddenly smiled, with a thin layer of gloom between her brows: "A person like you is actually qualified to talk about Buddhism?"

"Why can't I?" Yang Xuelian's eyes were as clear as the breeze, her face was as white as snow, and she smiled slowly, saying, "Jin'an can eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name every day, so why am I not qualified to talk about Buddha?"

Yang Xuelian was not talking nonsense. Princess Jin'an was indeed a Buddhist. There was a Buddhist shrine built into a small side door of her palace. Whenever she felt depressed, she would kneel down sincerely and pray for the gods and Buddhas to bless her.

Therefore, she always has a faint scent of sandalwood on her body.

"If you insist on saying who is unworthy, it should be Jin'an." Yang Xuelian raised her eyebrows slightly, her amber eyes seemed to be filled with mist, and then turned into flowing clouds. "When she was young, she was abducted to Miaojiang and mistakenly entered the poisonous forest. She almost died. It was me who was kind enough to save her from the poisonous forest, detoxify her, and save her life."

"Seeing her alone and helpless in Miaojiang, so small and pitiful, I sent her back to the Central Plains. Our relationship should have ended there, but she turned against me like a venomous snake and imprisoned me here, totally ignoring my past kindness in saving her life."

"If I had saved a dog that day, it might have wagged its tail at me. But people are so cruel and horrible. How can Jin'an have the face to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures?"

After saying that, Yang Xuelian suddenly looked at Feng Qiwu. In the dim light, he seemed to see some of Jin An's shadow in Feng Qiwu's eyes and brows.

With this thought, he felt more and more that Feng Qiwu and Jin An were extremely similar. The similarities were so great that he wanted to crush them to pieces and destroy them.

"You and Jin'an are really alike..."

Yang Xuelian's eyes became stern, and there seemed to be no more mercy in his eyes. Instead, there was a bit of deep hatred that had accumulated over the years, which also tore apart the pure and immortal appearance in him.

After hearing this, Wen Ranyan's lips corners suddenly lifted up. The smile seemed silent, but it made her eyes sparkle like a crescent moon, full of all kinds of charm.

She raised her lips and said slowly, "Princess Jin'an repays kindness with enmity. You hate her and it's understandable that you want to take revenge on her, but Feng Qiwu was just a child who knew nothing when she was young. If you want to take revenge, you shouldn't involve innocent people. Even if you are speaking up for yourself, it's still evil and a grave sin."

Hearing this, Yang Xuelian cast his gaze on Wen Ranyan. His eyes were indifferent and he didn't speak for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he gently raised his thin lips and laughed happily like a madman.

He cast his gaze on Feng Qiwu again, and whispered like a ghost: "I have many ways to avenge Jin An, but this is the only way that can make her feel heartbroken and regretful."

How can the pain of physical revenge be as satisfying as the feeling of brothers turning against each other, or mother and son becoming enemies?

This splendid drama was his repayment to Jin'an. It was worth his pretending to be a benevolent teacher for more than 20 years, giving Feng Zhuyue advice and making him fall deeper and deeper into the abyss, unable to extricate himself.

Otherwise, why would he bother making plans for the son of his enemy? He felt disgusted every time he looked at him for a second longer, and it was simply wishful thinking to plan a way out for him.

Hearing this, Wen Ranyan frowned.

The frost between Feng Qiwu's brows became increasingly intense, and turned into a sinister and cold look that was frightening.

It was clearly almost summer, and even though it was raining heavily outside the cave, it didn't feel as cold as winter.

But for some reason, the temperature gradually turned colder, freezing one's bone marrow even more than the cold winter. In just a moment, every part of one's body was shivering.

It was a bone-chilling cold.

After a while of silence, a sharp female voice suddenly came from the cave entrance, breaking the long peace.

"Yang Xuelian, are you serious about what you just said?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Princess Jin'an rushed in from outside as if she had lost her soul.

She was originally from a royal family, dressed in fine clothes, and looked noble and extraordinary, but at this moment she was staggering, her face was pale, and she was so embarrassed that she had lost all her noble demeanor, and she was shouting like a troublemaker in the market.

When seeing the person coming, Yang Xuelian did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he looked calm, as if he knew Jin'an would come here.

Yang Xuelian looked at her and suddenly smiled softly, "How can what I said with my own mouth be false?"

A very light and faint smile, like the first melting of ice and snow, blooms with thousands of beauties, making people feel fascinated.

This was the first time Jin'an saw Yang Xuelian smile, but he never thought that it would be under such circumstances.

"Did you really set up all this?" Jin'an's eyes were hesitant, but his face was pale, as if he had already believed it halfway.

There was still half that she always kept. In her impression, Feng Zhuyue had always been a well-behaved and obedient child. He had never set foot in the forbidden area in the back mountain before, so how could he have known Yang Xuelian so early and conspired with him?

If they really knew each other, how could he not show any clues when he was just a little kid?

But now Feng Zhuyue has gone to Lingnan, and there is no way of knowing whether he knew about it or did it.

Jin'an's thoughts were in a whirlwind. The denials in her heart seemed like an attempt to cover up the truth. Her face became even paler than a ghost, and her frail body swayed like broken jade, as if it would shatter in the next second.

Seeing this, Yang Xuelian sighed and then smiled calmly: "Didn't you understand clearly what happened outside the cave just now?"

"I set up all of this, but if Feng Zhuyue hadn't mistakenly entered this place with evil intentions, I wouldn't have thought of such a perfect way to turn the Feng Mansion upside down."

"Jin'an, do you know what Feng Zhuyue complained to me about at that time?"

Yang Xuelian suddenly raised her eyes, and her clear and sharp gaze fell on her like a knife.

Jin An was panicking, with an anxious look on his face, and said hurriedly: "No, I don't want to know..."

Yang Xuelian acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to talk to himself, "He said that he had a weak body since birth and was not as smart and likable as his younger brother. His younger brother was like the stars and the moon in the sky, while he was like a broken stone on the ground. He also said that if he had a healthy body and his younger brother didn't exist, he could become the stars and the moon."

"I told him that stars and moons can be plucked, broken stones can also bloom, so how difficult is it to have a healthy body? But it's not easy to reverse. If you want to gain something, you must lose something. Guess how he reacted at that time?"

Yang Xuelian's voice was leisurely and his face was calm, looking relaxed as if he was chatting with a good friend.

Jin An may have realized something, his face turned stiff, and he murmured miserably: "Shut up, shut up, I don't want to hear it..."

Yang Xuelian glanced at Feng Qiwu, then set his gaze on Jin'an, and a faint laugh echoed in the cave.

"He actually agreed right away—"
