Chapter 171: She Will Pay The Price Sooner Or Later
Their fates are connected to each other. Over so many years in the Capital, there has been no news of Wei Chang being involved in any scandals between men and women.
Jiang Ruanxi was a bit drunk, but her mind was exceptionally clear at this moment. “Second Master saved me from water and fire, arranged everything for me everywhere, and even for the sake of the future, he was willing to die rather than force me. This kindness, I naturally keep in my heart.”
After rebirth, she was not a cold and heartless person. On the contrary, she understood even more clearly who truly treated her well.
He did not do it for money, nor for fame and fortune. He was willing to give up even his most precious fate, only wanting to fulfill her.
In her previous life, she gave her heart and soul to Lin Ningkun, but what she got in return was betrayal and disgust.
But in this life, Wei Chang gave to her first, giving her a sense of security, so that she could once again truly treat someone well.
However, in this life, she would no longer be as completely unguarded as before.
“But I feel that just keeping it in my heart is not enough.”
Not enough?
Jiang Ruanxi was puzzled. The moment she raised her head, she found that Wei Chang had already come to her side.
His scorching gaze seemed to be tinged with heat from the alcohol, directly pouncing towards Jiang Ruanxi.
The burning temperature seemed to scorch her skin. Jiang Ruanxi’s heart trembled, and she shyly lowered her head.
Wei Chang’s throat bobbed, and he grabbed her hand.
Jiang Ruanxi instinctively wanted to shake it off, but Wei Chang did not give her any chance. “Xi Xi, I am very happy to be able to marry you. If I had known there would be a day like this, I would not have let you marry into the Lin Family back then.”
Jiang Ruanxi was stunned, not understanding what he meant, but before she could ask clearly, Wei Chang’s head was already in front of her.
Her mind went completely blank.
The moon outside the door blushed and hid in the clouds.

In Madam Yu’s room, Nameless Daoist looked at the originally dim and lifeless astrological mansion, which slowly became bright. He smiled joyfully at Madam Yu, “Madam, Second Master’s astrological mansion has finally lit up. He can live now.”
“But has the fate changed? Has the Seven Killings Solitary Fate been broken?”
Hearing this, Madam Yu excitedly knocked over the teacup in her hand. The tea spilled on the table, but she did not care. She stood up anxiously and came to his side.
“Madam, please wait a moment and let this old Daoist calculate.”
Nameless Daoist closed his eyes, opened them a few seconds later, and frowned slightly.
“Madam, it has only changed a little now, not completely changed.”
Madam Yu’s face immediately fell, as if her soul had been drained.
Nameless Daoist could not bear to see it and comforted her, “Madam, don’t be sad. At least now things are developing in a good direction. We should be happy, shouldn’t we?”
His words made the disappointment on Madam Yu’s face fade a little.
“You’re right. At least now it has improved a bit, and there is hope.”
Thinking of something, Madam Yu’s face became serious. “You said before that changing someone’s fate is defying heaven, and if not careful, one will suffer backlash. Now that they are defying fate and changing destiny, will something happen to them?”
Nameless Daoist’s expression was grave. “Indeed it will.”
Madam Yu closed her eyes. “Whatever retribution comes, let it come at me. Anyway, I have lived long enough.”
Nameless Daoist was shocked. “Madam, absolutely not…”
“I know your thoughts, but Chang’er is my only support in this world. My time is not much left anyway. Although I cannot see that bitch die with my own eyes, even if I die, I will not let her have her way. This matter originated because of me. The two children are innocent, and it is only right that I bear this retribution.”
Seeing that her mind was set, Nameless Daoist had no choice. “Since Madam is determined, then do as you wish.”
Madam Yu painfully closed her eyes. “This matter was my voluntary choice. Please, Daoist Priest, do not tell Chang’er.”
“But Madam, Second Master will soon return to the Capital. If something unexpected happens to you during this time…”
“How can a dying person delay the big matter because of this matter?” Madam Yu said. “Only like this can he have no worries.”
Seeing that her mind was set, Nameless Daoist naturally would not try to dissuade her anymore.
At this time, in the direction of the Capital, above the Imperial City.
Under the huge moon, a man dressed in black clothes sat in a wheelchair, watching Jiang Ruanxi’s astrological mansion become dim and then disappear into the horizon.
The man’s brows were tightly furrowed. Soon after, he saw a star in the east that was originally dim suddenly light up. Its momentum was so great and frightening that even hanging next to the purple star, it was not inferior at all.
“Sir, how could this be?”
The child in front of the wheelchair asked in surprise.
“Could it be that Miss Jiang has already died?”
“No, she has not died. It’s just that her astrological mansion has been hidden by someone.”
“Then…”
“Does she think that hiding will make her unfindable?” The black-clothed man slightly raised the corner of his mouth. “We can’t continue absorbing her good fortune. The one who should be anxious is not us. Watch, she will come back sooner or later.”
Defy fate and change destiny?
The man looked at his legs that could not stand up, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. “She will pay the price sooner or later.”
Dark clouds gathered at the edge of the sky, covering the stars and blocking the moon.
Soon after, in the direction of Lingnan, there was lightning and thunder, with heavy rain pouring down.
After the sudden rain stopped, the banana trees in the courtyard looked wilted after being battered by wind and rain.
The flowers in the courtyard were also wantonly damaged, but only the grass looked lush and vibrant.
That night, Jiang Ruanxi did not know how many times she was tossed. When she got up in the morning, her whole body was sore and weak.
Yushui and Little Jade heard the movement inside and hurried in to serve.
Seeing the marks on her body, both blushed and lowered their heads.
Little Jade felt a bit heartbroken, thinking to herself that Second Master looked refined and gentle, but unexpectedly was such a wild person.
“Where is Second Master?” Jiang Ruanxi ignored their gazes and asked.
“He went to the Yamen. The heavy rain has been falling from last night until now, easing the drought. Lord Li came to the manor early in the morning and took Second Master away.”
Jiang Ruanxi knew that this heavy rain would last for several days. It seemed that the winter plowing matter had hope, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After washing up, the old woman servant cleaned up the mess in the room. Looking at the emptied jar from last night, she frowned slightly. “Madam, this seems to be the lemonade brewed by Old Madam, not alcohol.”
Wei Chang had just reached the door when he heard this sentence.
Both were stunned. When their gazes met, Jiang Ruanxi really wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Not alcohol? So last night neither of them had drunk alcohol?
Nor were they drunk?
Jiang Ruanxi thought of the outrageous things she had done last night, and her face turned as red as a tomato.
