While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

[This is a very high status, and being a general's wife would be quite nice. However, General Yuan already had two wives, and both of them died not long after the marriage.]

Rumors then circulated that General Yuan was a notorious abuser of domestic violence.

The Li family firmly believed this.

[Because General Yuan was originally betrothed to Li Yuhu since childhood, but later his family fell into poverty and he became an orphan, he had no choice but to rely on the Li family.]

However, Li's father was extremely snobbish and materialistic, not only refusing to let him in but also verbally abusing him.

Now that General Yuan has risen to prominence, his sudden offer of marriage is seen by Li's father as revenge, a way to marry Li Yuhu and torment her.

[Li's father was afraid and dared not refuse; secondly, he also harbored the hope of marrying into a wealthy and powerful family, so he forced his daughter to marry.]

Despite their reluctance, Du Bingyan and Li Yuhu had no choice but to comply, as they were powerless against the powerful.

"Bastard!"

Upon seeing this, many women were so angry that they slammed their fists on the table, feeling indignant.

What a despicable father!

One woman married off her daughter to scheme for the family's wealth; the other pushed her daughter into the abyss of domestic violence, making her pay for her past snobbery.

These are all really worse than the last.

Especially Mr. Du!

While Li's father is certainly a despicable person, his decision to marry off his daughter was likely due to pressure, which is understandable.

After all, "the common people cannot fight against the officials," and even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to forcibly break off an old marriage contract with a great general.

But Du's father was a complete scoundrel!

Marry your daughter to a dying man, and then return with his money after he dies so you can remarry her?

This is a really cunning scheme... all they care about is money, they don't treat their own daughter like a human being at all, they only see her as a tool to make money.

This is utterly outrageous! He's unworthy of being a father!

188. Selling his daughter, killing his teammates.

Inside the room, the two women exchanged a glance.

Du Bingyan sighed softly, while Li Yuhu looked furious, her lips pouting.

Unlike the characters in the story, they didn't have families arranging marriages or betrothals from birth, but their fathers were just as snobbish as those in the drama.

The reason they haven't married in the past two years is that both families are waiting for the right price, hoping to snag a "rich and handsome husband".

Not long ago, people from the Hua family came to propose marriage. Neither family had much room to refuse, and they could understand their families' compromise.

But the behavior of Du's father and Li's father chilled the two women to the bone.

Because on their faces, there was not a trace of the sorrow of being forced to marry off their daughters; all that could be seen was the joy of climbing the social ladder and gaining power.

They will never forget that expression.

However, they did not intend to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

One night, Li Yuhu secretly sneaked into the Du family home to discuss countermeasures with Du Bingyan.

Just then, a "mountain demon" was causing trouble in the Red River Valley, so the two women decided to take this opportunity to escape.

With the "Kunji Seal" protecting him, he should be safe from any danger.

So when Bai Qingshu kidnapped them, the two women were not surprised but delighted, and had no intention of resisting at all.

Otherwise, Bai Qingshu really wouldn't have been able to take them away.

When they met Jiang Sishui, the reason they followed him so decisively was partly due to their disappointment in their father and their inability to return home.

Of course, they were also very curious about Jiang Sishui.

Seeing their father still so wretched in the story, the two women felt a bit resentful.

But since he was their biological father, they didn't say anything to complain.

Two brides got married on the same day.

[Furthermore, because Li's father was cunning and wanted to use the Du family's influence to show off his own wealth, he deliberately waited until the Du family's bridal sedan chair was about to pass by the gate before the Li family's bridal sedan chair went out.]

Walk ahead of the other person.

Two bridal sedan chairs, one in front and one behind, followed closely together.

"Using someone else's influence to flaunt your own wealth?" The women were speechless.

This Mr. Li is truly a petty person among petty people; he even nitpicks over such a small matter.

Li Yuhu subconsciously looked at Du Bingyan, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

Du Bingyan smiled and took her hand, saying, "It's just a story. Besides, we're sisters, there's no need to be so clear about things."

Li Yuhu immediately beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly: "Sister Bingyan is the best!"

Just then, a heavy rain began, so the two groups carried the bridal sedan chairs into the Fairy Temple to take shelter from the rain.

Du Bingyan and Li Yuhu also met because of this, and they confided in and comforted each other.

However, because the two women wore identical wedding dresses, with only the red veils differing, they accidentally mixed up the red veils before their departure.

As a result, both matchmakers brought the wrong people to their homes.

Du Bingyan got into the Li family's bridal sedan chair, and Li Yuhu got into the Du family's bridal sedan chair.

The two women therefore married into the wrong place.

However, a series of events later revealed that the two women knew that the stories of "Young Master Qi contracting an illness" and "General Yuan being abusive" were both untrue.

[During their time together, both women fell in love with each other's husbands, and ultimately went along with the situation.]

"I see."

All the women understood the meaning of the play's title.

The story itself is not complicated, but it is made more dramatic by a number of misunderstandings and coincidences.

"Marry the right man?" Du Bingyan secretly shook her head.

Reality is clearly crueler than the story. If Jiang Sishui hadn't appeared as a "variable," she and Li Yuhu would most likely have still married into the Grand Tutor's mansion.

The idea of ​​"marrying the right man" is nothing but wishful thinking.

[After learning the identities of the two brides, I felt so fortunate!]

Luckily, I ran into him today, otherwise I would have missed out completely.

[And what's more, they're going to marry the two mentally challenged sons of Grand Tutor Hua! This is outrageous!]

So I took it upon myself to rescue them from their suffering.

"Escape from suffering? It's more like lust at first sight!"

The women expressed their disdain for Jiang Sishui's pretentious behavior.

The wedding procession had to pass through the Red River Valley, where, according to legend, there was a "mountain demon" causing trouble; it wouldn't bother with others, but instead targeted the bride.

This sounds like someone is sabotaging things.

I went over and took a look.

As the group reached the valley, thick smoke suddenly billowed out, and then a man wearing a half-mask went in and kidnapped them.

Upon seeing the person in question, I had a hunch about his identity, which was later confirmed.

Bai Qingshu is a character in the novel "The Divine Physician in Plain Clothes".

The background of "The Legend of the Commoner" is that the two sides of the underworld hold a "Golden Seal War" every five years. Each side sends five masters to compete. The winner takes the Golden Seal and rules the martial arts world, while the loser must retreat for the next five years.

Bai Qingshu was one of the participants in a certain competition.

However, he fell for a honey trap set by gangsters and was drugged before the battle, causing him to miss the big fight.

After waking up, Bai Qingshu, in a fit of grief and anger, accidentally knocked over a candle, burning half of his face.

From then on, Bai Qingshu's personality changed drastically, and he began to doubt the true feelings between men and women.

He abducted the bride to test her sincerity and whether she could withstand the test, not because he himself had any ulterior motives towards her.

This person is indeed pitiful, but equally hateful, because his actions have caused a lot of trouble for others.

Considering he wasn't inherently bad, I didn't kill him, but instead issued a warning, giving him a chance.

"I knew it." Du Bingyan suddenly realized.

She had noticed that Bai Qingshu was not in a good mood, and she felt that he must have had a tragic experience and had been traumatized to become like that.

Now, her guess has been confirmed.

However, as Jiang Sishui said, the pitiful Bai Qingshu also had his hateful aspects.

The bride was about to get married, but Bai Qingshu kidnapped her.

When Li Hao didn't return, everyone thought it was the work of a "mountain demon." When he did return, everyone knew he had been kidnapped by robbers.

What? He hasn't touched you at all during this time?

Who would believe that if I told them? That's ridiculous!
