He said weakly, "Once we get through this period and the situation outside is less tense, we'll leave quickly."
Wu Qingluan nodded, but she felt more and more that Xie Ying was a lucky star. Otherwise, how could they have been so easily defeated after planning carefully for so long?
I really want to get that girl.
It’s a pity that those people failed.
What a bunch of rubbish.
Wu Qingluan lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in them.
At the same time, the Jia family in the capital.
Jia Sheng also lay on the hospital bed in pain.
Since the Lantern Festival, he suddenly fell ill and was frightened.
He didn't dare to call a doctor and endured it for two days. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he deliberately blew cold wind to make himself catch a cold, and then asked someone to call a doctor.
The doctor was very surprised after examining him. Not only did Jia Sheng catch a cold, he was also frightened!
What on earth frightened him so much?
The doctor stroked his beard and asked, "Master Jia, have you been frightened recently?"
Jia Sheng panicked, then said weakly, "I was indeed frightened. I...I usually like to read storybooks. I read a book of strange stories a while ago, and I didn't expect to have a nightmare last night."
After saying this, he asked the servant to take out the storybook.
The servant turned to one of the pages and showed it to the doctor.
After the doctor looked at it, he was speechless.
This story tells of a man named Zhou, whose family has quite a bit of wealth. His only sister falls in love with a handsome scholar. Zhou's father is reluctant to let his precious daughter marry far away, so he recruits the scholar as his son-in-law.
Who knew that after the other party moved into the Zhou family, many strange things happened in the Zhou family.
First, the puppy raised by Miss Zhou suddenly died tragically and was skinned.
Then Master Zhou's cat suddenly disappeared.
Afterwards, Master Zhou suddenly fell seriously ill and kept hearing the cat's shrill screams.
He was tortured to the point of unbearable pain until a Taoist priest suddenly came to his house and said that the son-in-law the Zhou family had married into was a demon-like ghost who came to the Zhou family for revenge.
The book describes many horrific scenes in great detail, which makes people shudder.
The doctor felt a chill down his spine when he read it, and was speechless that Jia Sheng actually liked to read such a book.
"Master Jia can't stand the shock. Don't read this kind of book again in the future."
He shook his head, prescribed some medicine for Jia Sheng, and then said goodbye and left.
Jia Sheng gratefully asked the servant to see him out. After the people left, his face suddenly became gloomy and he clutched the quilt covering his body tightly.
Jia Sheng's face was as pale as a ghost.
He did have a nightmare, but it wasn't because of the horror story in the book.
He dreamed that he was captured by the Black Qilin Guards and thrown into a prison, tortured severely, and had his tendons pulled out by skinning him.
He experienced all the tortures he had heard of in his dreams.
What was even more terrifying was that the dream was too real. He seemed to feel the severe pain personally, but he could not wake up.
This made Jia Sheng even more frightened.
He was afraid that one day, everything in his dream would become reality.
Such torture is so horrible that it makes people unable to live or die!
He must find a way and must not be caught and thrown into jail by the Black Kylin Guards!
Jia Sheng's eyes flashed, and he quickly sent someone to invite Jia Xuan.
Ever since she found out that she was not pregnant, Jia Xuan was greatly traumatized. She locked herself in the yard all day and refused to go out.
Even during the Lantern Festival, she did not go out to enjoy the lanterns.
After Jia Sheng fell ill, she also did not come to see him.
The two seemed to have gone from being close siblings to being cold strangers.
Jia Sheng had no choice but to ask someone to invite him.
At first, Jia Xuan was reluctant to come, until the maid mentioned the plum forest on the back mountain of Huguo Temple, her expression suddenly changed and she agreed to come and see Jia Sheng.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Jia Sheng was not surprised at all and sent the maid away directly.
Jia Xuan's expression remained stern until only the brother and sister were left in the room. Then she spoke in a cold tone, "Brother, are you trying to force me to death?"
