Lady Jiang’s bloated body was pushed to the ground in an instant. Both her hands beat the ground as she wailed loudly, “Ah, what sin have I committed to cause my son to be entangled with a temptress? This will be the death of your mother.
“When the temptress died, it almost killed my son. She killed someone else and borrowed their body to come back. And she wants to kill my son again. What sin have I committed to be bullied by a witch-like this?”
Jiang Ying laid on the steps and drank wine, saying loving words. He looked like an infatuated man who had gotten drunk because of love.
Lady Jiang simply planted herself on the ground, hammering the ground with her pig-like hands. She pounded and howled as though she was a pig being slaughtered.
Although such a scene had been happening for more than half a month, passers-by still could not help but comment on it.
“Jiang Ying is really besotted. The Xuantian Alliance’s election is close at hand and he is not preparing for it. Instead, he’s sitting here intoxicated, begging to catch a glimpse of Shen Qingdai. He has been suffering for almost half a month. She has not even shown her face to him, let alone allowed him to hear her voice. She really is a vain woman. She had just claimed connections with the Demon King and she already forgot her old love.”
“Shen Qingdai had returned to Lin’an City for a few months and never revealed her identity, let alone acknowledge them. If it had not been for the state preceptor, perhaps no one would have found out her identity. She wanted to completely erase the truth for a man. She really turned her back on her childhood sweetheart for glory and riches and became an ungrateful wretch.”
“Shen Qingdai must have her own reasons for not acknowledging them. Maybe she had amnesia?”
“Amnesia? You think life is really like an opera performed on the stage? What amnesia? She is just a ruthless ingrate.”
“So what? Give anyone here a chance to choose between the Demon King and Jiang Ying and they would, of course, choose the Demon King. Just because you can’t have it, you are so eager to talk bad about other people. That’s just sour grapes.”
“But the Demon King did rob someone else of their love. Just because his own Spiritual Force is powerful, he can snatch other people’s fiancées? Isn’t this the same as a local ruffian, gangster, or an evil tyrant?”
“Does the Demon King need to do this? He just has to stand there, and a lot of women will throw themselves at him. I wish to be snatched by him.”
The onlookers, who stood in a circle and watched, were divided into various camps. However, whether it was that the vicious tendencies were too strong or that too many people were resentful, envious, jealous, or hateful, the voices with good opinions were gradually drowned out. Finally, some people could not be bothered to bicker with the close-minded people, so they simply shut up.
As a result, the scene suddenly turned into a campaign against Feng Tianlan, painting her as a callous and ungrateful woman who jilted her old love for her new one.
In fact, such a debate had often brewed for more than half a month. The onlookers would only disperse when Jiang Ying was intoxicated that he fell unconscious. But at the same time, the gossip would also spread.
A delicate, pretty figure suddenly stepped out and stood at the door of the Bailan Alliance. With her hands on her hips, she yelled, “Feng Tianlan, come out. I’m going to kill you today.”
“Zhen’er.” Lady Jiang tearfully looked at the delicate girl and said, “Try to talk some sense into Ying’er. He’s bewitched.”
Yuan Haizhen nodded and said, “Auntie, you can rest assured that I will definitely do it. But I must make Feng Tianlan, that b*tch, come out today.”
Brother Ying had originally wanted to be engaged to her. She did not know why he suddenly proposed marriage to a dead person and had wanted to hold a ghost marriage. However, that dead person was alive again. It made Yuan Haizhen hate Feng Tianlan to the core.
She was determined to think that Feng Tianlan was a witch who had stolen a body and been reborn. She was a demoness who specialized in attracting a man’s heart and soul, so Yuan Haizhen hated her even more.
