After sharing a body with her husband

"What?" Huo Chuan asked.

Shang Lingjun just wanted to chat with him.

"Hey, tell me, isn't my marriage line weird? In my past life, I married that fake man Xie Zhaoqing, and she even killed me."

My life is a bit better now; I married a paralyzed man. Although I begged for it, isn't my fate a little too strange?

Huo Chuan was taken aback.

How did she kill you?

He was always curious.

Shang Lingjun casually rested her chin on her hand. "So that's how he killed me, he beat me to death with an iron whip."

Huo Chuan was utterly shocked. "What?!"

To be whipped to death with an iron whip?

Such cruel methods!

Huo Chuan was deeply shaken, while Shang Lingjun spoke as if nothing had happened.

So calm, so calm, as if they were talking about someone else's affairs...

Huo Chuan felt a tightness in his chest, a very uncomfortable sensation.

"Why?" he asked again.

Because they hate me. Back when I was in the Xiao family, I had a crush on Xiao Jing. I was young and naive.

Xie Zhaoqing is extremely jealous. He married me so he could easily torment me. Actually, being beaten to death would be a relief for him.

Shang Lingjun said.

For a long time, Huo Chuan remained silent.

What about Xiao Jing? What is he doing?

Finally, he spoke after a long delay.

Shang Lingjun scoffed. "Him? That damned bastard. He revels in Xie Zhaoqing's jealousy and sullenness, while he watches my plight with indifference, and the Xiao family is the same."

After marrying her off, the Xiao family felt as if they had gotten rid of a burden, and had a sense of relief that they had finally repaid their debt of gratitude.

They don't deserve to be human. Since it was a deadly feud, it's far too merciful of you not to take Xie Zhaoqing and Xiao Jing's lives after your rebirth.

Huo Chuan's tone was laced with subtle anger.

Perhaps he didn't even realize that he was angry, and very angry at that.

How can a person be so cruel?

Shang Lingjun's body was delicate and frail; even a slight bump would leave a bruise.

He only hit Xiao Jing a few times with her body, but it caused blisters on her hands, and she felt extremely guilty.

With such a delicate body, it's unimaginable how much pain and despair she must have felt when she was whipped to death with an iron whip...

【Ati, kill her, and I'll help you.】

Huo Chuan's words trailed off with a chilling edge.

Shang Lingjun realized that Huo Chuan was standing by her side against a common enemy, and she was deeply moved. She now considered Huo Chuan her friend, her only friend.

I wish she were dead, but I was too restricted. Removing her from the Xie family genealogy was already the limit of my ability. Letting him fake his death and escape to Xiao Jing's side was really not what I wanted to see.

But there's nothing I can do. I know you want to help me, but my current position limits my options, and I have no one else I can rely on. Let's think about this more carefully.

Huo Chuan understood what she meant.

In the short time after her rebirth, she came up with the best way to take revenge, exposing the scandalous affair between Xie Zhaoqing and Xiao Jing, making it known throughout the city.

She gave it her all, and went all out without any regard for the consequences.

She was surrounded by people from Old Madam Wei, and indeed had no confidants of her own. If she were to act in private, her actions would certainly be restricted.

But she still has him.

"You still have me. If I had known this would happen, I should have taken their lives that night," he said.

Shang Lingjun's eyelashes fluttered, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

Yes, now that she has him as a "good helper," many things will be much easier for her.

In the past, she was always seen as a parasitic vine that only depended on others, but this parasitic vine also had thorns, and she was no longer a weak person who could be bullied and powerless to fight back.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Things happened too hastily that night. They had just met and didn't trust each other. If only they could have another chance like that.

Both Xiao Jing and Xie Zhaoqing are skilled in martial arts. Can you defeat both of them?

Shang Lingjun suddenly felt that the topic was too heavy, and joked with him.

Huo Chuan chuckled softly.

You underestimate me?

Shang Lingjun denied it, saying, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare underestimate the great hero Chuan Chuan. It's just that you're using my body to fight right now, and my physique is inadequate, holding you back."

Huo Chuan was amused.

What a terrible nickname, "Hero Chuan Chuan"...

She seems to really like giving him nicknames?

Chuan Chuan is alright, he's still quite friendly.

But one moment he's talking about his sleeping husband, the next he's talking about the chivalrous hero Chuan Chuan, and he just can't keep up with it.

Shang Lingjun also smiled, deliberately speaking in a soft voice:

[If there's anything I can do for you in the future, please thank me again.]

Huo Chuan's breathing slowed slightly. Lost in thought, he finally asked the question he had wanted to ask for so long.

Is your hatred for Xiao Jing born of love? Do you still have any love for him?

Shang Lingjun seemed to have heard an utterly absurd joke.

[Bullshit! I wish I could stab him through the neck!]

From childhood to adulthood, the Xiao family always teased me about being a child bride, and Xiao Jing never refuted it. Besides, he was the only man I had ever met since I was a child.

I was completely fooled into thinking that I would definitely marry Xiao Jing when I grew up. I had no choice!

Shang Lingjun clenched her back teeth, making a grinding sound, and became more and more excited as she spoke.

[After leaving the Xiao family's house, I realized it wasn't raining at all. There are tons of men better than him! With his character and morals, he'd be unwanted even by a dog!]

【Even if Xie Yan'an were a cripple, he would still be a million times better than him!】Shang Lingjun added.

Huo Chuan liked hearing this, but something about it felt a little strange.

What if one day I'm not paralyzed? What if... I suddenly wake up?

【Then let's make it a thousand, a million times stronger.】

Shang Lingjun blurted it out.

With her husband's looks, physique, and muscles, how could that scumbag Xiao Jing compare?

It can't compare.

Upon hearing this, Huo Chuan felt as if something had struck his heart.

It turns out that her hatred for Xiao Jing wasn't born of love, but pure resentment.

It turns out that, in her heart, Xie Yan'an, even though he was paralyzed, was a thousand times better than Xiao Jing.

"Hey, by the way, how did you die in your past life? You always say it was an accident, but what kind of accident was it?"

Shang Lingjun herself said that it was time for Huo Chuan to tell her the truth.

Huo Chuan paused slightly, hesitated, and then said ambiguously:

[Being sought revenge by an enemy.]

Shang Lingjun's pupils contracted slightly. [Oh my god, you're in such a sorry state too.]

"It's really quite tragic," Huo Chuan said softly.

Before Shang Lingjun could press further, the coachman outside let out a sigh.

"Madam, we've entered the city."

Shang Lingjun immediately opened her eyes. They've entered the city? That's wonderful, they're finally back.

When passing by a shop, Shang Lingjun made an excuse to go down and buy rouge and face powder. She also went to buy some sleeping pills instead, without trying to hide it, because someone was following her the whole time.

When Granny Qiu asked, she said she suspected she was immune to the drug and bought some more to try.

When they were plotted against at Puji Temple, there were traces of sleeping pills in the room, but Shang Lingjun was not affected, which puzzled Old Madam Wei.

I don't know why?

Seeing that Shang Lingjun insisted on buying it to try, Granny Qiu didn't stop her. Perhaps the Seventh Madam had escaped because she was immune to the drug?

On the way back to the manor by carriage, Shang Lingjun felt quite happy just thinking about what she would do when she got back, and even felt like humming a little tune:

"La la la la la~"

Qingzhi chuckled, "Since you came home, Madam's mood has improved."

Shang Lingjun nodded slightly, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with moisture.

"Of course! When I get home, I'll see my sleeping husband. I'm sure Seventh Master is also looking forward to his wife's return. How could he not be happy?"

Her smile was truly lewd, because tonight, she wanted to test Xie Yan'an's "abilities" in that area!
