1687 Cutting Marriage Fate?
Yuan Yuan’s sudden arrival gave not just Xia Mingcheng and his parents a fright; Xia Mingzhen also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the familiar woman’s feigned gentleness. His hair stood on end and his face turned pale. Even though his brother had suddenly taken her away, the fear in Xia Mingzhen’s eyes didn’t diminish and his body shook slightly.
This woman’s true colors were really too terrifying. Xia Mingzhen was traumatized just thinking about it and was afraid that this woman would harm him again when she found out that he was fine. Besides, he had just heard from his brother and Master Chi how many lives this woman had taken. Xia Mingzhen was simply scared out of his wits.
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face and lips were pale, making him look like he was seriously ill. He was at a loss and panicked. He looked at Father and Mother Xia blankly, then at Master Chi in front of him. He was very helpless, nervous and vigilant.
It was Chi Shuyan who saw through his thoughts. She patted his shoulder and comforted him in a low voice. “Don’t be nervous! You were lucky just now. That woman didn’t see you!”
!!
Xia Mingzhen’s face softened a lot, but he still wasn’t as lively as earlier. His face was listless and he looked very tense and vigilant. He couldn’t help but confirm with Chi Shuyan as he stuttered in panic, “That… that woman… really didn’t see me? Master Chi!”
“No!” Chi Shuyan replied swiftly.
Father and Mother Xia sighed with relief at her words. Their expressions were also very stiff and nervous now. Now that Mother Xia knew the true colors of that Yuan woman, she was really afraid of her. She kept looking at the shut door, afraid that something would happen to her eldest son. Thinking of how he had suddenly dragged that woman away, Mother Xia had the urge to cry.
Now, Mother Xia really regretted meddling and trying to matchmake her son with that Yuan woman. It would have been fine if that woman had a good character, but it was clear that she didn’t. This time, Mingzhen had inadvertently said a few bad things about this woman, and she dared to harm him. How could the Xia family dare take in such a daughter-in-law, to say nothing of the evil, vicious and lethal things that Mingcheng and the Master had revealed about that Yuan woman?
The more Mother Xia thought about it, the more scared and nervous she became. If not for the fact that the Master in front of her was still fine and composed, she would have cried helplessly. Mother Xia forced herself to calm down for a while. She was really worried about her eldest, and less than a minute later, she couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “Mas… Master, my eldest… Will… will something happen?”
Father Xia also looked worriedly at the Master.
He was now scared of this Yuan woman; since she had dared to harm Mingzhen, what if she did the same to Mingcheng and the rest of their family?
Father Xia also had a huge headache. Mother Xia had even gotten involved, and agreed to that woman marrying their eldest son. The more Father Xia thought about it, the more fl.u.s.tered he became.
How could Chi Shuyan not understand what the Xia couple was thinking? She said calmly, “Although that woman is a little evil, it’s still a little difficult for her to harm someone in broad daylight.” Moreover, it would have to be under Chi Shuyan’s nose.
Father and Mother Xia had relaxed, when the Master in front of them changed the subject and continued, “Besides, the other party has a crush on Mr. Xia! She’s always liked him!”
When Mother Xia heard the Master imply that the Yuan woman liked her son, she almost cried again. She was no longer as happy as before. At the thought that this Yuan woman, who dared to take lives, had always liked her son, her lips trembled and her face turned green. How unlucky was her son to be fancied by such a vicious woman?
Mother Xia asked urgently, “No… no, no, Master… Master, didn’t you say that my eldest son and that woman aren’t fated to be together? Master, can you tell that woman not to come to my Xia family again and not to look for my eldest son? That woman dared to harm my youngest son because of a few words. Who knows if she’ll harm someone else tomorrow?”
Now that she knew what the woman really was like, Mother Xia felt fear and hatred for the Yuan woman. All she could think of was what the Master had said about her family being ruined. She was scared out of her wits and itched for that woman to immediately stay as far away from her family as possible. However, things didn’t always go as one wanted – she was the one to start this whole thing, and she now had to swallow this bitter fruit.
Chi Shuyan took in Mother Xia’s terrified expression and didn’t reply directly. Instead, she asked indirectly, “Aunt Xia, I heard that you were the one who pulled the strings for Mr. Xia’s marriage? The two of them really weren’t fated to be together to begin with, but they are now tangled together in an ill-fated relations.h.i.+p; I’m afraid it’s impossible for Miss Yuan to suddenly distance herself from your Xia family.”
Mother Xia was rendered speechless by Chi Shuyan’s words. She was so scared that her face turned deathly white again. She was so regretful that she wanted to vomit blood. Maybe she was too agitated, but her vision turned black and she almost fell over. It was Father Xia who quickly supported her. Mother Xia suddenly collapsed and cried.
Seeing Mother Xia suffer such a blow, no matter how much Father Xia blamed her, he couldn’t do so anymore.
Xia Mingzhen said anxiously, “My brother can’t marry that woman. My brother really can’t marry that woman, Master, Master!”
Chi Shuyan had just wanted to teach Mother Xia an unforgettable lesson – how did it suddenly turn into her wanting Xia Mingcheng to marry that Yuan woman?
Seeing Mother Xia collapse and cry, Chi Shuyan immediately relented. “Although it’s a little difficult to cut off their ill-fated relations.h.i.+p now, it’s not completely impossible, as long as Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia and Mr. Xia are willing to cooperate with me!”
