Mi primer marido después de la transmigración

Capítulo 98

Tang Shijiu calmly replied, "I know."

"Do you know why you don't yell back?"

"He just wants me to understand and yell back, right? I'll pretend I don't understand, so he can't find anyone to sympathize with and he'll just suffer internally from bottling it up." Tang Shijiu glanced at Tian Man, meaning, kid, the way to deal with this kind of person is to pretend you don't understand, make him make a fool of himself. You just don't understand, do you?

Tianxiu shrugged: "I'm hurt right now. You don't love me at all."

Nineteen said, "You get used to the pain after a while. Besides, it seems like you're the one who's always having affairs, attracting men everywhere. That's what they call, 'The worm eats the vegetables and dies, the assassin kills and gets killed.' Going up the mountain, you'll eventually encounter a tiger."

Tian Man watched the two of them chattering away, one after another, without stopping, and couldn't get a word in edgewise, feeling quite bored: "Senior Sister, is Brother Shen coming back?"

This sentence finally drew everyone's attention.

Tianxiu laughed: "Nineteen, you've managed to get rid of Shen Yuntan again?"

Nineteen's face darkened: "Tianxiu, are you alive or dead? What exactly happened that day?"

Tianxiu scratched the back of his head: "That night, my brother wanted me to kill you, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I got beaten up instead. In the end, he didn't kill me, and I couldn't escape either."

Where is Shen Yuntan?

Tianxiu blinked: "You want to ask him if he knew or not?"

Nineteen's eyes widened: "Stop playing games with me! If you don't tell me everything right now, I'll sell you to Tiger Earth Lord!"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Tianxiu smiled pleadingly, "It's so good to know that you were taken away by Shen Yuntan... I was so worried that my brother would really kill you."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing." Tianxiu's peach blossom eyes shimmered. "I just wanted to tell you that if I had such an opportunity to get rid of Shen Yuntan, I would absolutely not hesitate, and neither would my brother. But without absolute certainty, neither my brother nor I would act rashly. Since we can't act rashly, why not cooperate from time to time and each get what we need?"

He smiled sweetly and charmingly: "My brother's target isn't you."

His words struck Nineteen's heart like a mallet. She had held onto a sliver of hope that she had wronged Shen Yuntan, that he truly knew nothing about it.

Each gets what they need; Tian Shu takes Tian Xiu, and Shen Yun Tan's target is naturally her.

He still knew.

"Why did you pretend to be dead..." She lowered her head, not wanting Tianxiu to see her tears, "I was so worried about you..."

“I wasn’t faking death.” Tianxiu smiled calmly, as if talking about something insignificant. “I was really beaten unconscious and barely came back to life. My brother really went all out and intended to kill me.”

"Don't cry, it breaks my heart." He reached out and wiped away Nineteen's tears, then continued, "Back then, my brother hated Tang Weiqi the most. Because he knew Tang Weiqi was my weakness. And now, I guess the person he hates the most is you..."

Tang Shijiu raised her head, her eyes shimmering with a tender light, revealing emotions she didn't know.

"I care about you so much, can I give you a kiss?" Not long after she was being serious, Tianxiu started grinning again and recklessly leaned in, which made Shijiu slap her on the forehead.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts! I'm disfigured! I'm disfigured!" Tianxiu clutched her forehead, grimacing. "Be gentle, Nineteenth Sister! You're not cute at all."

"Everyone has a weakness, so why would your brother hate your weakness?" Tang Shijiu didn't have time to waste words with him and went straight to the point.

As the sunset faded into gray, Tianxiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Because, my brother's weakness is me..."

Tang Shijiu was startled when she saw Xu Ziqing, and almost didn't recognize the junior brother who had once captivated her.

Even when Tang Shijiu walked past him, he didn't recognize him.

He called out softly, "Senior Sister." His voice was hoarse and low, far from the loud and clear one he had when he got married.

Tang Shijiu stopped and then realized it was Xu Ziqing.

Xu Ziqing was a handsome and upright young man. Although he didn't have the same romantic character as Shen Yuntan and Sang Tianxiu, he still stood out in a crowd. Otherwise, Gu Yan wouldn't have taken a liking to him.

However, all of that is in the past. Now, Xu Ziqing is nothing but a lump of mud.

His face was covered in stubble, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was so thin that he was just skin and bones. He sat idly under a big tree, watching the birds chirping in the branches, lost in thought. He was only in his early twenties, but his back was already slightly hunched, and his withered hands stretched out, making him look even more pitiful than a beggar.

"You... how did you become like this? Where is Gu Yan?" Xu Ziqing raised her head, and her lifeless eyes, like those of a dead person, sent a chill down Tang Shijiu's spine.

"Sister Yan..." He lowered his head, letting out a few ambiguous laughs from his throat, "I'm no longer my Sister Yan. How could I, in this state, be worthy of her?"

"Junior Brother Xu, what exactly happened?"

Xu Ziqing grinned, his smile eerily distorted: "To survive, I sold my soul to evil spirits, and that's how I ended up like this."

It was winter, but the smell emanating from him made Tang Shijiu frown, unable to recall what kind of strange odor it was.

"However, I don't regret it at all, hehehe, I'm having a blast. Senior sister, your brows are furrowed, is something bothering you?" He said to himself, "Senior sister, selling yourself is actually a very enjoyable thing, it can make you forget all your unpleasantness. Do you want to try it? Just a little bit, just a little bit, and you'll feel like you're floating on air, more carefree than any immortal." A dreamy smile appeared on his face, as if he were soaring through the sky with joy.

"What is Gu Yan? What is martial arts? What is your laughable pride? Even if I, Xu Ziqing, avenge my family and become a young master again, I probably won't be this happy." He grabbed Tang Shijiu's hand, his bones digging painfully into it. "Senior Sister, do you want to be happier? Do you want to be happier?"

Tang Shijiu felt a wave of nausea and couldn't help but push him away, taking a step back: "Xu Ziqing, get your head straight! Don't forget you're a disciple of my Xiaoyao Manor!"

"Senior sister, I have something to say to you." Xu Ziqing became mysterious, her eyes seemed to flash with a clear light, and she tried to grab Tang Shijiu's wrist, but Tang Shijiu dodged and missed, falling to the ground.

Xu Ziqing suddenly shivered, as if her mind had only cleared up for this moment. She grabbed Tang Shijiu's sleeve, lowered her voice, and said carefully and urgently, "No one can be trusted... They... are all demons."

Tang Shijiu took a step back, just about to ask for clarification, when a hand landed on her shoulder.

Tianxiu said with a look of regret, "When I met your junior brother at the foot of the mountain, he was already like this. It is said that he was so frightened that he told everyone to be careful of demons."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ziqing indeed started rolling on the ground, pointing at Tang Shijiu and laughing and shouting, "Female demon, female devil, give me, give me Bai Mozi!! I want to fly, I want to ascend to heaven!!"

His spine seemed to have disappeared; he lay limp on the ground like a pig in the mud.
