Chapter Seventeen: Being Duped

  Qiu Niang had her heart set on marrying Tang Mo Wen, but unfortunately, her father found out about this and beat her severely, ordering her to never interact with Tang Mo Wen again.

  However, young Qiuniang did not understand her father's kindness, and when he forbade her from doing something, she insisted on doing it.

  However, at this time, Tang Mo-wen was already a young man of nearly twenty years old. The Tang family's business began to move into his hands one by one, and he no longer came to the tofu stall to eat casually. Qiu Niang felt very lost and decided to go find Tang Mo-wen to clarify things.

  This idea was still quite bold at the time.

  No different from Cinderella confessing to a wealthy and handsome man.

  But the words couldn't be delivered to the depths of the courtyard, and a single sentence from the doorman thoroughly sent her into despair - Autumn Girl, don't come looking for Young Master again, Old Master has already arranged a marriage for Young Master, it's Zhang General's niece, they'll get married by the end of the year.

  Yes, Tang Mo Wen had never taken her to heart. He was about to get married and marry a noble lady from a good family. Tang Mo Wen would never marry her.

  Qiu Niang burst into tears and decided to let go from now on.

  However, on that night more than a decade later, a drunken Tang Mowen sneaked into her room, accidentally killing her newlywed husband and raping her, leaving her completely desperate.

  Life began to fall apart from that moment on, all the beautiful visions were strangers to her from then on, she became a floating duckweed, drifting alone. The sky was shallow and thin, she didn't know where to go in it.

  So she hated, hated Tang Mo Wen for giving her such deep hope, but then personally destroying it. Hated herself for loving him so intensely. Hated her husband for being so useless. Hated the world for not letting people live!

  All sorts of hatred stem from the deepest love.

  Qiu Niang said, as she spoke, she covered her face and burst into tears. With no tears to shed, she could only wail: "When he rushed into the room, I was still full of expectation... I thought maybe he had come to make amends with me... I begged him to marry me as his concubine... He slapped me in the face, knocking over the basin in the room... The neighbors all came..."

  She spoke in a disjointed manner, but I understood anyway.

  Tang Mo Wen was completely drunk and randomly broke into a room, which happened to be Qiu Niang's new bridal chamber. Qiu Niang had been thinking of him all along, so this whole thing wasn't like anyone was forcing anyone else, it was all consensual.

  It was just that Tang Mo Wen refused to take responsibility, ultimately leading to the downfall of Qiu Niang's family. That's why Qiu Niang went to his door later and was served a death notice by the ruthless Tang Mo Wen.

  I raised my hand to comfort her, but only then did I realize that this was a soul body. At the same time, the darkness outside suddenly tore apart, and a ray of light pierced through the crack in the sky. The sound of roosters crowing began, and the first car horn pierced the air.

  Oh no! It's daylight already!

  The autumn girl suddenly floated up, slanting her eyes at me and laughing loudly: "Little girl, women's only weakness is being softhearted, nothing can be done. The sky will light up soon, you guys slowly waste away haha! I forgot to tell you, I've long known that you're here for that one soul, that woman, if there's no other soul, after today she'll never wake up again. Haha!"

  "Ah!" I only then realized that I had fallen into Qiū Niáng's emotional trap, and feeling both angry and anxious, I immediately activated the spiritual energy within me, attempting to retain her in the last moment.

  However, I was horrified to find that my vital energy was stagnant in the meridians and couldn't move even half a step!

  "Don't waste your effort, I've put a restraint on you. Don't even think about using your bell, it's useless." Qiu Niang gave a sly smile, then turned to leave.

  I hung my head in shame, scolding myself countless times in my heart.

  Suddenly, the entire living room was filled with a brilliant golden light. Four huge talismans rose from the four corners, and countless symbols floated out of the talismans, shining and intersecting to form a massive cage.

  Qiu Niang suddenly and unexpectedly crashed into the symbol, instantly letting out a sharp cry of pain.

  I suddenly lifted my head and immediately turned it towards the bathroom.

  Then...

  Then I covered my eyes.

  Jiang Zhen still had an air of nonchalance, but his expression was unusually solemn. His hands kept changing finger gestures, and his lips moved slightly as he whispered incantations.

  This scene is like a Buddhist master with a halo, shouting "Amitabha" while running naked in front of me, so mysterious and illusory.

  Why isn't he wearing clothes yet!
