She became a god

Back in the city, in a house in the west garden of the city lord's mansion, there was a chorus of wailing and lamentation.

It turned out that the young mistress, who had just been found, vomited another mouthful of poisonous blood, which made Tan Shao Lao very angry.

Xie Jichen, standing to the side, was filled with worry, not for his sick son, but for his imprisoned lover and his ex-fiancé.

Because the baby-swapping incident was exposed, the Fu family, who had been engaged to Xie Shunjing, immediately returned the betrothal gifts. No one knows how heartbroken their Jing'er was.

Sixth Sister really doesn't know the difference between relatives and friends. Jing'er is also a descendant of the Xie family, but on the day the engagement was broken off, Xie Jiyue, the city lord's sixth aunt, tacitly approved it.

If Xie Jiyue had been willing to protect Jing'er in the slightest, how could the Fu family have dared to come and annul the engagement?

And then there's his beloved Jiang Xiaobai, who's perfect in every way. Not only does Sixth Sister look down on her, but she also listens to Tan Min's slander and believes that Xiaobai poisoned Xie Shunkang and sneaked back to the city with ill intentions.

That's quite a huge accusation. Xie Shunkang lives in the city, is wild and untamed, and has been unruly since childhood. She's been fighting and brawling all the time, making many enemies. She might have gotten herself into trouble and was retaliated against by the cultivators. How can you blame Xiaobai?

Despite Xiaobai's painstaking efforts in raising her for over a decade, she repaid kindness with enmity, demanding that her sixth sister severely punish Xiaobai. She truly inherited the ruthless nature of her mother, Tan Min.

Xie Jichen was already annoyed when a servant came to report, "Young Madam Tan, the eldest son is making a fuss about becoming a monk."

Because the former city lord Xie Changchun and several elders are still alive, the four branches of the Xie family are as close as family, and the children in the family are ranked together.

The title "Young Madam" was originally reserved for women from prominent families. Xie Jichen should have been called Seventh Brother, but as the only son of the deceased Fourth Madam Xie Changdong, he was married into the family and was respectfully addressed as Male Young Madam by the servants.

Xie Shunjing was the only male among the younger generation of the Xie family, so he was ranked separately.

Upon hearing this, Xie Jichen could no longer maintain his act of being a loving father. Ignoring Tan Min's attempts to stop him, he went straight to Xie Shunjing's residence and even sent a servant to summon Xie Jiyue.

Inside Jingming Pavilion, Xie Shunjing lay on the couch, barely breathing, which distressed Xie Jichen greatly.

“Jing’er, why do you demean yourself like this? It breaks my heart to see you like this.”

Xie Shunjing looked at the sobbing Xie Jichen, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. "Father, I've already been rejected by the Fu family. How can I face living in this world? If I can't find a wife who is better than Fu Jie, how can I swallow this insult?"

Xie Jichen adored the son his beloved had borne him and immediately promised, "Your father will definitely find you someone better."

Xie Shunjing smiled sweetly, "My cousins ​​from the Tan and Jing families have always been very kind to me. If I could have either of them as my wife, I would die in peace."

Xie Jichen hurriedly said, "Jing'er, don't curse yourself. Tan Min is narrow-minded. With her around, even if you marry the young mistress of the Tan family, you will be tormented to death. As for that boy from the Jing family, he is of noble character and appearance and is a good match for you. If your sixth aunt is willing to act as matchmaker, a perfect marriage can be made."

"Father, my life's most important matter rests on your shoulders."

Xie Jichen said confidently, "I will definitely get Sixth Sister's consent."

Among all the sisters, he was the closest in age to his sixth sister, and their mother entrusted him with her care on her deathbed. His sixth sister had always treated him with great kindness and generosity.

It was just a small marriage proposal, how could Sixth Sister refuse to agree?

Suddenly, a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Xie Jichen rang out, "I disagree."

“Jing Lan, although marriage is a major life event that should be decided by one’s mother and father, Jing’er is the only son of the Xie family in this generation. He has been pampered since childhood. How can he not be worthy of your Jing family son?”

Jing Lan sneered, not wanting to pay any attention to her ex-husband and brother-in-law who had a screw loose.

Tan Min couldn't help but mock, "Xie Shunjing is nothing but a bastard, yet he dares to dream of marrying into the Tan or Jing families. What a pipe dream."

Xie Shunjing's face turned deathly pale. "Mother, I have been raised by your side for more than ten years. Just because I am not your child, do I have to suffer this humiliation?"

Tan Min said with disgust, "You bastard, you have stolen the life that should have belonged to my son. I didn't throw you in jail with him because of our past relationship. I didn't expect you to be so incorrigible. Your sister is critically ill, but you still have the mind to find a rich husband. If you still can't learn to behave, I will kick you out right now."

Xie Shunjing knew that Tan Min always kept her word. The torrential rain outside showed no sign of stopping. If he were kicked out, he would probably die in an instant.

Seeing Xie Shunjing trembling with fear, Xie Jichen angrily said, "Tan Min, this is the Xie family home. What right do you have to drive Jing'er away?"

"If Minmei isn't qualified, then am I not qualified either?"

Xie Jichen was all too familiar with that voice; it belonged to Xie Jiyue, his greatest reliance at the moment.

"Sixth Sister, Jing'er is a descendant of the Xie family!"

Xie Jiyue smiled and said, "The Xie family is not short of offspring. In this generation of the direct line, there is only Xie Shunjing as a son, but there are quite a few sons in the collateral branches."

After hearing Xie Jiyue's words, Xie Jichen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He pleaded, "Sixth Sister, Kang'er will die sooner or later. I only have Jing'er as my child. I just want him to live a good life. Is that wrong?"

"shut up!"

Xie Jiyue gained a completely new understanding of her younger brother's foolishness.

This younger brother has been clumsy and stupid since childhood. He could be considered cute and silly when he was young, but he became more and more useless as he grew up.

What a fine man! Instead of serving his wife, he's having affairs.

We've offended the Jing family, and now we're going to offend the Tan family too.

If he weren't her younger brother, Xie Jiyue would have already offered him to the King of Hehuan.

The Hehuan King is the leader of the four great demon kings of the demon realm. She loves handsome men and has countless husbands. However, this queen is notorious for her womanizing ways. The handsome men in her room will be crippled or even killed within a year.

Xie Jiyue pressed her temples and comforted Tan Min, saying, "Kang'er is my nephew, I will never abandon her."

He then said to Jinglan, “Jingchu is my nephew. Her husband must come from a prestigious family and be of good character and intelligence. You and your fourth cousin need not worry.”

This ensures that Xie Shunjing will never be betrothed to someone from Jingchu, and that a virtuous and well-born husband will be found for Jingchu.

Jing Lan and Tan Min hurriedly expressed their gratitude, but Xie Jichen hesitated and dared not speak.

This was the first time Sixth Sister had ever been so angry with him. Even when he asked for a divorce from Jing Lan back then, Sixth Sister had never looked at him with such cold eyes.

Seeing that Xie Jichen had calmed down, Xie Jiyue then looked at him and said, "According to reliable sources, Princess Ye Qingzhou of the Little Panda Clan is staying at Tianxiang Tower. She has the Nine-Flower Pill, which can save Kang'er's life."

"In that case, let's buy it at a high price. I'm willing to pay."

Seeing that Xie Jichen was still not beyond redemption, Xie Jiyue's expression softened. "It would be best to buy medicine with money, but if Ye Qingzhou is unwilling, we can only appeal to her emotions."

Xie Jichen only knew how to scheme and plot within the inner quarters and didn't pay attention to the dynamics of the cultivation world. He didn't understand, "Why would she be unwilling to let the Xie family ask for medicine? Does she dare to disrespect the Xie family?"
