"I feel very uncomfortable. The feeling that man gave me was like a wolf staring at a bone. He wasn't after you, Brother Xuan, he must be after me!"
"It feels just like when Elder Minshu wanted to dig out my immortal spirit bone!"
The more Lu Ling'er spoke, the more frightened she became, typing frantically.
"Brother Xuan, that day at home, I felt something was off, but I didn't know what was wrong. I could still feel his greed for my body and his invasive gaze!"
Qin Qingya continued, "I know my eldest sister might not agree. If you can help arrange this marriage, take this money."
Zhou Xuan thought, "From Ling'er's words, it all points to this Xue Wenhai being the one Minshu possessed."
But Elder Minshu was dead.
Lingyun Immortal Sect had also checked, and there was no sign of possession.
So why did he still appear?
No, he had to investigate this Xue Wenhai.
"Alright, I promise to be the matchmaker and help persuade your eldest sister, but this is just my opinion, whether she agrees is another matter."
"Don't worry, I know you have a way."
Zhou Xuan did have a way. If he told his maternal grandfather, Xiao Wushuang, Xiao Chenyi would naturally tell Qin Huaiyu.
Then Qin Huaiyu would agree to secure her position as director of the Political Affairs Department.
It's just that this Xue Wenhai, it's best if he's the real Xue Wenhai.
Xue Wenhai, who came out of the restroom, asked Qin Qingya, "Where are they?"
"They've all left. Wenhai, shall we take a walk by the sea?"
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Xue Wenhai suppressed the urge to ask about Lu Ling'er's whereabouts. He knew he couldn't rush things.
One month later.
The marriage of the Qin family's third daughter, Qin Qingya, to Jiangcheng's Xue family's Xue Wenhai, spread throughout the entire capital.
And it spread very widely.
Regardless of age or gender, everyone knew that the Xue family's renowned eldest son, Xue Wenhai, was going to marry the third daughter of the prominent Qin family. Of course, more people found this marriage somewhat ridiculous.
"Did you hear? Xue family's eldest son, Xue Wenhai, is getting married at this time!"
"Yes, yes. Xue family's eldest son marrying Qin family's third daughter, it's simply a fantasy."
"Who says it's not?"
"Then tell me, what kind of stunningly beautiful woman is the Qin family's third daughter?"
"I heard that the third Miss Qin is delicate in appearance, gentle in temper, and has a good personality. She is very well-matched with Xue family's eldest son, Xue Wenhai."
"Oh my, I'm baffled. Xue Wenhai has such excellent conditions, why would he fall for the third Miss Qin? What's so good about her?"
"What's so strange about that? These days, there are too many people who like good-looking men. As long as Xue Wenhai likes her, what does it matter?"
"That's true, but..."
"But what?"
"I heard that the third Miss Qin doesn't have a good reputation. She's a total player. If Xue Wenhai marries her, he'll become a cuckolded prince. Who knows if he'll even live to old age."
"That's right, although the third Miss Qin is a young lady, she plays around quite skillfully. Marrying her would be truly unlucky."
"Alas, how can ordinary people understand the political marriages of the rich?"
"This isn't a political marriage, ah, it's a demotion!"
"What demotion, who's at a disadvantage is not yet certain."
"Exactly, it looks like Xue Wenhai is unlucky, but in reality, after marrying this third lady, won't he get a lot of money, stocks, and shares?"
"It's none of our business, worrying about things that don't concern us."
The wedding would take place in three days.
Lu Ling'er was invited by Qin Qingya to be a bridesmaid.
Lu Ling'er was very resistant at first, unwilling to get close to Xue Wenhai and Qin Qingya.
Zhou Xuan said, "People always let down their guard when they are most proud."
"Qin Qingya and Xue Wenhai are putting on a show together, who knows what they are planning?"
"If this can help us figure out what's going on with them, I'm willing. Don't worry, I'll be the best man and accompany you."
"Really?" Lu Ling'er jumped up in surprise.
"When did you become the best man? Brother Xuan, why didn't you tell me?"
"You, you little girl, I only saw you anxious and worried. If I had known you were like this, I would have told you earlier."
"How could I! Brother Xuan, don't slander an innocent person."
"Still saying you haven't..." Zhou Xuan reached out and pinched her tender cheek.
"Ouch... It hurts so much... Brother Xuan, let go quickly..."
The two of them laughed and messed around, attracting countless gazes.
Xue Wenhai and Qin Qingya, standing at the door, saw the two playfully interacting, their eyes showing vicious glints. They gritted their teeth, wishing they could tear these two to pieces!
Xue Wenhai: "Damn woman, how dare you lie to me!"
Qin Qingya: "So what? You got what you wanted anyway. Are you satisfied now?"
"Do you think I'll be satisfied? I'm telling you, I will make sure these two wish they were dead!"
"After this is done, we divorce."
"Hmph!" Qin Qingya said coldly, "Then, you can deal with them later! I won't divorce!"
With that, Qin Qingya turned and left.
Xue Wenhai was furious but could do nothing but accept it.
The night before the wedding, Xue Wenhai locked himself in his study, smoking and drinking.
For the past few days, he hadn't returned to the Xue family mansion, nor had he visited his parents. He felt like a lifeless shell, with no meaning in life.
But the next second, his eyes regained a certain venomous look.
The previous decadence disappeared once more.
And a spirit fox appeared on his shoulder from nowhere.
It was small, entirely white.
The spirit fox lay on Xue Wenhai's shoulder, its pair of green eyes looking out at the dark night sky, thinking about something. Suddenly, it turned its head.
Seeing the ferocious smile on Xue Wenhai's face, a flicker of disgust flashed in its eyes.
"Xue Wenhai, I advise you not to do anything foolish."
"Whether this is your doing or not, you will pay a heavy price in the end!"
"Hahaha... hahaha..." "You little beast, what do you know?" Xue Wenhai glared at the little spirit fox, his voice sharp and piercing.
"You don't understand at all, you don't understand! I want to destroy them! Destroy them!!!"
"If you destroy them, you will never find liberation!"
Xue Wenhai's eyes flickered with bloodthirsty madness.
The little spirit fox's eyes flashed with disdain: "I think you're crazy. I advise you to wake up as soon as possible."
"Even if you took Xue Wenhai's body, you're still an old man. You're still a cow eating young grass, it's truly disgusting."
"Get out, get out of here!!!" Xue Wenhai roared, throwing the little spirit fox out. The little spirit fox fell to the ground, dazed and unable to get up.
Xue Wenhai continued to guzzle the wine bottle, and a stream of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his eye.
The little spirit fox struggled to get up, then lunged at Xue Wenhai again, tearing at his clothes with its claws, scratching and clawing wildly like a madman. Xue Wenhai howled in pain, yet he couldn't bear to kill this pet.
The spirit pet, born with intelligence, was nevertheless contaminated by its master's evil aura.
It felt uncomfortable, but it couldn't escape this person.
Soon, the day of the chaotic wedding arrived.
