Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

Poor Yuan Xi, he never dreamed of who he had offended.

A dignified second son of Yuan Shao.

They were tortured to the point of being neither human nor ghost.

What a fuck.

Unfortunately, no matter how angry I was, there was nothing I could do.

Because after he arrived at Che Zhou's territory.

That was his death date.

Just as Liao Hua was delivering Yuan Xi to Che Zhou's territory...

A news item.

It also spread throughout the world thanks to the Mi family's deliberate promotion.

To prevent the Yuan family from growing stronger, Cao Cao colluded with Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army and launched a surprise attack on Yuan Xi's wedding procession.

Yuan Xi was captured alive.

Yuan Xi is now in Che Zhou's hands.

The news shocked the world.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he was trembling all over and sent a large army to garrison the border.

They coerced Cao Cao into handing over Yuan Xi.

This forced Cao Cao to temporarily halt his attack on Yuan Shu.

They returned to resist Yuan Shao.

Suddenly, the world was in turmoil.

..............

But this is all for later.

Just as Zhou Heng sent someone to deliver Yuan Xi to Che Zhou, preparing to personally escort the bride in Yuan Xi's place...

Meanwhile on the other side.

Zhongshan County.

The Zhen family home was already bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and streamers.

Completely unaware that the person she was about to marry had changed.

Inside one of the Zhen family's inner courtyards.

Four stunningly beautiful women were looking at the young girl dressed as a bride on the bed with amused expressions.

His eyes were full of teasing.

"Fifth Sister is truly like a fairy descended to earth. Even I, her elder sister, am tempted by her in this wedding dress."

This is a girl who looks about seventeen or sixteen years old.

Whether it's her figure or her appearance, she is absolutely the best in the world.

But what's truly astonishing is her pair of breasts.

Coupled with her youthful and innocent appearance.

It perfectly expresses what it means to have a youthful face and large breasts.

Who else could it be but the fourth sister, Zhen Rong?

The fifth sister she spoke of seemed to exist as if she were not of this world.

Its form is graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon, seemingly like the blue moon amidst the clouds, swaying like swirling snow in the wind.

This sentence seems to have been tailor-made for her.

Who else could it be but Zhen Mi, the goddess of the Luo River, who is famous both at home and abroad and whose name has been passed down through the ages?

"Oh dear, Fourth Sister, please stop teasing Fifth Sister. Speaking of which, she was the one who got married in your place."

"If you keep joking with her, she might not marry you."

This is the third sister, Zhen Dao.

She had long, glossy black hair that cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, swaying gently as she walked, like black silk dancing in the wind.

His eyes were like a deep lake, clear and bright, shimmering with light as if holding countless stars.

Her eyebrows, like distant mountains, were slender and curved, perfectly set beneath her fair and smooth forehead.

Her nose was delicate and straight, with slightly flared nostrils, giving her a playful air. Her cherry-like lips were naturally red, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth had a captivating curve. When she smiled, dimples appeared, making her sweet and charming, just like a flower blooming in spring, exuding fragrance and making one's heart flutter.

"Alright, alright, you two should say less."

"You two aren't young anymore. Now that even Fifth Sister is married, shouldn't you also start thinking about your own marriage?"

This is the second sister, Zhen Tuo.

Zhou Heng didn't know whether he had actually taken his clothes off.

However, Zhou Heng knew that if she really took her clothes off...

I believe there isn't a single man in the world who wouldn't take notice.

Her face was like a peach blossom in full bloom, her eyebrows were like distant mountains stretching horizontally, her eyes were like autumn waters brimming with affection, and her lips were like cherries, naturally red without any rouge.

Her figure was graceful, her movements like a willow swaying in the breeze, her posture like a delicate flower reflected in water. Her hair, as black as ink, was styled in a high bun, adorned with pearls and jade, which made her appear even more noble and elegant.

Her appearance was such that adding an inch would make her too tall, and subtracting an inch would make her too short; applying powder would make her too pale, and applying rouge would make her too red. She was truly a natural beauty, so stunning that she could topple kingdoms and cities, leaving viewers mesmerized and astonished that she was a celestial being descended to earth.

"How dare you talk to them like that? As the second eldest sister, you don't set a good example. Instead, you keep lecturing them. I think the one who's most likely to consider marriage is not them, but you."

This is the eldest sister, Zhen Jiang.

It must be said that the five beauties of the Zhen family are truly the most outstanding sisters in the world.

Everyone has their own unique characteristics.

As the eldest sister, Zhen Jiang is the epitome of a mature woman.

She stood there, radiating a charm and mature allure that comes with the passage of time.

Although her eyebrows and eyes bear the marks of life's experiences, they also possess a deeper charm. Her eyes are like deep pools, profound yet lively and clever. With just a glance, it seems as if a story is being told.

Her figure remained graceful, her curves subtly revealed beneath her simple attire, like a delicate ink painting, each stroke perfectly placed.

Her smile was no longer the innocent and naive smile of a young girl, but rather one that exuded composure and confidence, like the warm spring sun—gentle and infectious, easily dispelling the gloom around her.

Every gesture exudes elegance, as if time itself had sculpted her, bringing together all beauty and sophistication into one. Her beauty is so captivating that one cannot help but stop and gaze, becoming intoxicated by the unparalleled charm unique to mature women.

"Miss."

Zhen Tuo refused to comply.

The five girls started playfully fighting, a truly delightful sight to behold.

But good times are always so short-lived.

"Master, something serious has happened."

Just as the five girls were playing around.

A hurried and anxious voice came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, a young girl pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Yue'er, what's wrong?"

Zhen Jiang frowned, exuding an air of authority.

Perhaps in front of her younger sister, she would act like a kind and approachable older sister next door.

But don't think that a woman could support the entire Zhen family.

They will have no means whatsoever.

To outsiders, she was the absolute empress.

Two completely different styles are perfectly embodied in her.

"Master, something terrible has happened! We just received news that Young Master Yuan Xi was ambushed on his way to the wedding."

"Young Master Yuan Xi suffered a great defeat, with tens of thousands of his soldiers being slaughtered and fleeing in disarray."

"Even... even Young Master Yuan Xi himself was captured alive by the ambushers, and his fate is unknown."

"The Prefect of Zhongshan Prefecture has just sent word that martial law will be in effect in Zhongshan starting today..."

The maid named Yue'er quickly said.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the five women around him immediately changed their expressions.

I thought today was Zhen Mi's wedding day, but you're telling me she's already a widow before she's even married.

Are you kidding me?

Moreover, this is Yuan Shao's territory in Ji Province.

Who has the audacity to dare to steal Yuan Shao's bride in Ji Province?

For a moment, the five women's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
