Return of the Phoenix Lady

In the past few days, Han Xing has been secretly observing Mei Ruo's movements, ready to add fuel to the fire at any time.

Finally, after seeing Meiruo take out the prepared sleeping pills, the show was about to begin.

This drug wasn't just any ordinary one. Han Xing personally selected the ingredients, crafted it, and then designed it to sell to Mei Ruo at a high price. Ordinary drugs could only knock out those with average cultivation, leaving them unconscious for half a day. Han Xing's special drug, however, was colorless and odorless, effectively affecting even those with high cultivation. Most importantly, the victim didn't lose their willpower; instead, their thoughts were crystal clear, yet their body remained immobile, appearing to outsiders as if they were asleep. This meant they could clearly sense the outsider's every move, yet were unable to do anything about it.

This priceless special drug was made by Han Xing specifically for Liu Hexian, with the purpose of letting him experience firsthand what it feels like to be betrayed by the person he loves most.

That night, Mei Ruo noticed that Liu Hexian had finished his work early and was lying on the couch in the study with his eyes closed. She thought to herself, today is definitely a good opportunity!

He walked in with a cup of fragrant tea and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Liu Hexian said lightly from inside the door.

"Xian, you must be tired after being busy these days!" Meiruo said softly with a gentle smile.

"Yeah." Liu Hexian glanced at Meiruo and responded.

"Ruo'er is here to apologize for what happened a few days ago! Xian, will you forgive Yue'er and me? We won't dare to disobey you again in the future! You also know that Yue'er has been spoiled since she was a child, so it is inevitable that she has a bad temper. Xian, you also know that she is straightforward and outspoken. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her, okay? After all, she is your daughter, right? I will teach that girl a lesson in the future, and I promise that it will not be like last time, okay?" Mei Ruo dragged the fragrant tea, knelt in front of the soft couch, and said to Liu Hexian with a guilty look on her face.

Liu Hexian looked at her, was silent for a while, then he sighed and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, it's not all your fault. It was indeed not nice to you that day. Yue'er has loved to stick to you and protect you since she was a child. She did that because she loves her as a mother. As her father, how could I care about her? It's just that we spoiled her too much, which made her so lawless. Don't do this in the future." Liu Hexian saw Meiruo's sad face, and some reluctance arose in his heart. Thinking that it is better to have less trouble than more, he decided to let a big thing go.

Hearing this, Meiruo smiled, picked up the fragrant tea with her slender hands, and said softly: "Then I'm relieved, Xian, this is your favorite tea. I specially brewed a cup for you as an apology."

Liu Hexian didn't suspect anything. Mei Ruo was the person closest to him and the only person he had ever loved in his life, so he just picked up the tea and started drinking.

Meiruo watched the person on the couch drink up the tea bit by bit, and her eyes suddenly became deep.

Liu Hexian finished his tea in one gulp. Seeing the beauty still kneeling on the ground with her head bowed pitifully, he chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you still kneeling there? I forgive you all. You can get up now. The ground is cold."

Meiruo suddenly raised her head and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She opened her red lips and said, "Xian, do you still love me?"

Liu Hexian raised his thick eyebrows, looked at Mei Ruo strangely and said, "Ruo'er, what are you talking about?"

"I'm asking you, do you still love me? Do you still love Meiruo?" Meiruo looked at Liu Hexian with complicated eyes.

"I... Ruo'er, what's wrong with you? Don't be so sarcastic. Do you want to make me angry again?" Liu Hexian said with a guilty conscience and a hint of threat.

"Sarcastic? This is how I am in your eyes? Xian, you don't love me anymore, right?" His eyes gradually turned red and his voice was a little out of control.

"Ruo'er, if you keep doing this, I'll... uh... I..." Liu Hexian was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt dizzy. He immediately reacted, looked at Mei Ruo in disbelief and shouted angrily, "You... what did you put in that tea?!"

Meiruo just lowered her head and said nothing. Before Liu Hexian was completely powerless, his sensitive ears heard Meiruo muttering to herself: "Don't blame me, it's your fault, it's all your fault... I... can't turn back..."

Seeing that Liu Hexian was completely motionless, Mei Ruo lay down on the edge of the couch as if she had lost all her strength and breathed heavily.

After a while, she recovered, reached out and gently stroked his handsome face, looking at this face with fascination, but gradually, her eyes became complicated and struggling, hatred and viciousness flashed in her eyes, and finally, only ruthlessness remained. She reached out and touched him in his arms, and successfully found the contract.

Although his body could not move, Liu Hexian, who was conscious, clearly felt Meiruo's gentle hand caressing him. He just couldn't see her eyes. He was angry that she dared to knock him out, but he was also curious about what she was going to do. However, she actually took out the contract that she always kept with her, and Liu Hexian began to panic.

Soon, he clearly heard Meiruo muttering to herself, "Xian, I loved you so much! Ever since I first saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. You have no idea how happy I was when you bought me back to be your third wife. But I was still afraid, afraid that your heart would be taken away by another woman. So, I used every means to drive the other women away from you, and I succeeded. Whether it was Chu Xiang'er or Sihe, including their son, as for He Shuhui, she was of noble status, and I couldn't defeat her, but as long as you didn't love her, it would be fine. For you, I would not hesitate even if it meant taking a few lives on my shoulders; for you, I would risk everything. But what about you? It's only been so many years, and you no longer love me. How can you be worthy of me? Therefore, as punishment, I will take away this contract. Only in this way, even without your love, can I continue to be the third wife of the Liu family, and Yue'er will still be the most beloved eldest daughter of the Liu family, living a life of luxury. Don't blame me, if you don't work for yourself, heaven and earth will punish you!"

After Mei Ruo finished speaking, she glanced coldly at Liu Hexian who was still sleeping, then stood up and walked out. She had no idea that Liu Hexian had already heard everything she said, and it was precisely because of these words that she was in dire straits.

Meiruo came to her room and tentatively called out, "Master!"

"What? Did you get it?" Han Xing asked knowingly.

"That's right! The master is really smart!" Mei Ruo said admiringly.

"Then give it to me!"

"This..." Meiruo said hesitantly.

"What? You don't believe me? If you take it yourself and your husband finds out, you can just wait to be divorced!" Han Xing said coldly.

"No! It's not like that! I have already stolen the contract, so how could I not trust you, Master? It's just... I hope you will keep this contract well and not let others get it. Otherwise, my husband will be finished, and all my efforts will be in vain." Mei Ruo said carefully.

"Of course! If you still don't believe me, then keep it for yourself!"

"No! I... I'll give it to the master right now, right now! Then, please show up, master!" Mei Ruo said hurriedly, afraid that she would accidentally anger the master, and the thing would not be safe in her hands.

"No, take it outside."

"Yes." Mei Ruo did as she was told, opened the door and walked out.

Then, Mei Ruo watched the contract fly out of her hand, rise into the air, and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"The master is truly powerful!" Mei Ruo exclaimed in admiration.

"I'm leaving now. You don't have to look for me anymore. Just live your good life!" It's a pity that your good days are numbered!

"Thank you, master!" Mei Ruo couldn't help but smile when she thought about her good future.
