Mi primer marido después de la transmigración

Capítulo 60

Unlike the other courtyards that were neat and clean, this small courtyard was overgrown with weeds and seemed to have been deserted for a long time.

She groped her way through the grass for a few steps before encountering an obstacle. Pushing aside the grass, she discovered a dark, ancient well. The well was unfathomably deep, and she didn't know if there was water at the bottom. Hidden among the tangled grass, it appeared even more eerie.

It is said that ancient wells are one of the most popular methods of suicide for women who are heartbroken.

It is said that the ancient well is one of the places most prone to being haunted.

A crow flew overhead, its cry eerily menacing.

Tang Shijiu subconsciously took a few steps back, only to hear laughter behind her that terrified her even more than a female ghost.

Tang Chongli stood at the courtyard gate, leaning against the wall, panting heavily. Between breaths, she laughed, "I...I...I'm watching you, watching you, watching where you can run to."

Tang Shijiu looked around and was dismayed to find that this courtyard only had one exit. She slowly backed away, leaning against the well, and sighed helplessly, "I...I...Miss Tang, what is it that you're trying to pick on with me?" After running around for more than half an hour, she was also panting heavily.

Tang Chongli was still leaning against the wall, still panting: "Ha...ha, you, you, you seduced me...I...I...my brother A-Yin, and...you still have the nerve to ask?"

Tang Shijiu guessed she wouldn't be able to catch her breath anytime soon, so he sat down by the well and caught his breath: "I'm not familiar with Shen... Shenyin at all. Besides... Shenyin... Shenyin isn't yours."

Admittedly, there was no deep-seated hatred between the two women; once things were cleared up, everything would be resolved. That was Tang Shijiu's opinion.

Until Tang Chongli parted her lips and uttered those words, she still held this belief.

Tang Chongli said, "What are you pretending to be stupid for? Do you think I'm an idiot? Shen Yuntan has disappeared without a trace, don't tell me you didn't know!"

My mind went blank for a second, as if I'd been struck by a thousand-pound hammer.

Tang Chongli said, "You shameless woman, aren't you just seducing people with your face that resembles Aunt Weiqi?"

Tang Weiqi, this name is not unfamiliar to Shi Jiu at all.

Tang Chongli said, "You're just a stand-in. Don't be so smug. I don't think Brother Yin will still like you after you've been smeared on your face."

On the day that Shenyin saved her, she clearly heard Shenyin call her name.

Only seven.

Tang Chongli said, "If it weren't for the Tuanfu Heart Sutra, if it weren't for your face, Brother A-Yin wouldn't care about you."

Her chest felt heavy, and she tried desperately to shout, "I don't have any of those magical techniques! No! But everyone thinks she does... If that's the case, then did Shen Yuntan also think she did from the beginning?"

It felt as if a hand had reached into her body, seized her heart, crushed it, and then pulled it out forcefully. A piercing pain surged from her chest, instantly spreading throughout her entire body. Nineteen's ears rang incessantly, and she saw stars. She could only watch as Tang Chongli's lips parted and opened, revealing the truth she didn't want to hear, yet had to accept.

Tang Shijiu, barely holding onto the edge of the well, said, "You're lying, I don't believe you."

Her pale face betrayed her true feelings; she was lying. If Shen Yuntan wasn't a spirit in disguise, how could he have made Tianxiu leave time and time again? If Shen Yuntan wasn't a spirit in disguise, how could he have searched for her alone in the dead of night when wild beasts roamed? And that day, by such coincidence, the spirit appeared?

It turns out that Shenyin's behavior and voice weren't just Tang Shijiu's illusions due to excessive longing. Rather, they were the result of her overly credulous deception!

If Shen Yun doesn't know martial arts...

How could he embrace her so tenderly and so tightly?

She couldn't break free.

She couldn't break free any longer! Not just the embrace, she couldn't escape this person any longer!

Nineteen propped herself up and repeated in a low voice, "I don't believe it." Even though it was so weak, she knew she was lying.

Tang Chongli didn't miss the expression on her face, and her heart softened involuntarily. They were both equally tragic, one suffering from unrequited love, the other a substitute, both entangled with the shadow of Tang Weiqi.

No one can win.

The only winner is the deceased Tang Weiqi.

For a moment, she actually felt a bit of goodwill towards Tang Shijiu, and whispered, "Hey..."

Tang Shijiu lowered her head, then slowly raised her face. She tried her best to control herself, not wanting Tang Chongli to laugh at her. Even though she knew deep down that her current dejection was exactly what that woman wanted, and besides, she was never one to easily believe one-sided accounts.

However, she couldn't help herself.

Without needing to wipe it away, I already knew my face was covered in tears.

Tang Shijiu gave a sad smile and said coldly, "That's between him and me. What does it have to do with you?"

She tried her best to maintain her last bit of pride, refusing to collapse in front of Tang Chongli.

Just like back in the auditorium, when facing Gu Yan hiding behind Xu Ziqing, even though she had been utterly defeated, she was still the proud and forthright senior sister!

This pride completely enraged Tang Chongli. She brandished her longsword like a mad chicken, pecking at Nineteen.

As the chilling sword energy reached the doorway, Tang Shijiu suddenly snapped back to reality and instinctively retreated to avoid it. However, she forgot about the ancient well behind her.

In that instant, before either of the two women could react, Tang Shijiu had fallen into the well like a kite with a broken string.

Tang Chongli was shocked and reached out to pull, but only managed to grab a piece of bright red fabric.

The well was unfathomably deep, and after Tang Shijiu fell in, he fell silent.

Tang Chongli was stunned for a moment, then leaned against the well and called out loudly, "Tang Nineteen! Tang Nineteen!"

There was no response.

She panicked completely. Although she had an instinctive aversion to Tang Shijiu, she did not have the intention to kill him! However, the well had been abandoned for many years. Whether there was water or not, the chances of survival after falling from such a height were not high.

She screamed for a long time, but the courtyard was already abandoned and no servants came to help her.

Tang Chongli had been pampered since birth and had never been so frightened. Helpless, she could only sit down by the well and start to cry.
