We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Although Wen Rushi is just an ordinary mortal now, she used all her strength this time, and in just a few breaths, Wen Qingci's face turned red.

Wen Rushi was able to cultivate to the Great Dao because she fought her way through the crowds. Even though she is just an ordinary mortal now, the killing intent around her is something that Wen Qingci, an ordinary person, cannot withstand.

Wen Qingci understood more clearly than ever before that if she didn't speak properly now, Wen Rushi would really kill her.

"It was...it was me. It was because I loved...I admired Scholar Cai, and I didn't want...I didn't want to marry General Yue, who already had someone he loved. That's why I orchestrated all of this!"

Wen Rushi sneered, "Since that's the case, after you return to the manor, you will confess everything to your parents. I can marry into the General's manor in your place, but I will never marry into the General's manor with the stigma of 'climbing the social ladder'! If you don't do as I say, you know the consequences!"

Wen Rushi knew she wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't care.

All she needs to do is admit that she designed it all.

If Wen Qingci dares to scheme against her, then she should be prepared to suffer the consequences.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" Wen Qingci nodded with difficulty.

The people in the General's Mansion are not easy to deal with, and besides, they might be even more so in the future...

As long as Wen Rushi is willing to marry him, it's worth it for her to show weakness for now!

Moreover, the matter is already settled. Even if she admits that she orchestrated everything, based on her understanding of her father, it won't change the fact that Wen Rushi will marry into the General's Mansion!

Wen Qingci guessed correctly. After returning to the manor, she confessed to Wen Jincheng that everything was her scheme.

Although Wen Jincheng was dissatisfied, it did not affect the marriage at all; he simply gave Wen Rushi a dowry that was 20% higher than that given to Wen Qingci.

As Wen Qingci thought about Wen Rushi's future fate, the resentment in her heart disappeared.

Night falls.

Jing Shu Courtyard.

Madam Chen dismissed all the maids from Wen Qingci's room, and the mother and daughter talked in the inner room.

"Qingci, what's wrong with you just now? How could you admit to your father that you did all of this?" Madam Chen poked Wen Qingci's forehead with exasperation.

"Mother, Wen Rushi knows that I did all of this. She said that if I don't admit it, she will cut off her hair and become a nun, so that's why I..."

"You believed her when she said she wanted to become a nun? Are you stupid?!"

Wen Qingci was too ashamed to admit that she had been frightened by Wen Rushi.

"I don't think she's faking it, and since Dad won't change the marriage because of this, I..."

Madam Chen sighed, "Do you know how much of your dowry you'll lose by admitting it?"

"Mother, even if Wen Rushi takes a lot of dowry, it depends on whether she has the life to spend it!" Wen Qingci sneered.

Madam Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qingci, are you sure your dream will come true? What if... what if it doesn't? It would be such a pity to miss out on such a wonderful fiancé as General Yue!"

If that bitch hadn't died in time, and if that brat Wen Rushi hadn't been so plain-looking, she wouldn't have had to go to such lengths to get this marriage to her daughter.

Now that she's returned it, she feels incredibly resentful.

"Mother, every time I have a precognitive dream, it comes true. If I hadn't reminded you in time last time, my father would probably have another concubine, and I would have another pair of younger brothers and sisters."

Upon hearing this, Chen thought of her husband's mistress whom she had already dealt with, and their two illegitimate children, and all her doubts were immediately dispelled.

"Mother has misunderstood."

"In short, the most important thing right now isn't the dowry, but getting Wen Rushi married into the General's mansion!"

Qingwu Courtyard.

Wen Rushi sat cross-legged on the bed for two hours. She could clearly feel the thin spiritual energy around her, but the spiritual energy just wouldn't get close to her at all!

No matter how hard she tried!

This can't go on. Although she doesn't remember exactly what happened to her Yue family a few years later, nor how her Yue family members died, she vaguely remembers that it was related to the barbarians in the north.

Wen Qingci is in such a hurry to break off the engagement that I'm afraid the bride's family will all suffer a terrible fate.

Now that she has married into the general's mansion and cannot return in the short term, she naturally cannot sit idly by and wait for her fate.

But so much time had passed that even though she had once been an immortal, she could hardly remember anything from the past.

The only thing she can do now is to cultivate and improve her martial arts skills so that she can protect herself when disaster strikes.

Wen Rushi's goal was very clear, but things didn't go as planned. She could clearly feel the spiritual energy here, but it was as if there was a barrier around her body, preventing the spiritual energy from entering her body.

However, Wen Rushi was never one to give up easily. During the period before her marriage, she stayed indoors all day, meditating and cultivating until she was too tired to go to bed for a while, completely oblivious to the world around her.

As for revenge, Wen Rushi put it aside for the time being. She would wait until Wen Qingci married into the Cai family and was completely bound to Cai Zhixing before she took action!

...............

February 16th is an auspicious day for marriage.

I heard that the two young ladies of the Vice Minister's family went out at the same time today!

Both wedding processions stopped at the main gate of the Wen family mansion at the same time.

However, due to the identities of the two grooms, the difference between the two wedding processions was obvious.

The wedding procession from the General's Mansion was a grand spectacle, with servants in brocade robes leading the way, colorful banners fluttering in the wind, and the sounds of drums and music reverberating through the streets. The eight-bearer gilded sedan chair was adorned with carved beams and jade ornaments, its tassels cascading down, and the horses beside it were draped in red and colorful decorations.

Yue Lingyuan wore a bright red brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, and his crown and hat were exquisite and neat.

He sat upright on horseback, his posture was tall and straight, his eyebrows and eyes were noble, and his whole demeanor was extraordinary. Every move he made was the graceful demeanor of a young master from a noble family.

The Cai family's place was also lively, but it was just lively.

Cai Zhixing had regular features and a scholarly air about him. Dressed in a red robe, he had the air of a groom, but when he stood next to Yue Lingyuan, he paled in comparison, causing a stir among the crowd.

After hearing the maid's description of the commotion outside, Wen Qingci gritted her teeth in resentment and thought to herself: Let that bitch have her moment of glory. Everyone in the General's Mansion is arrogant and haughty. Once that bitch enters the mansion, she'll know how unbearable life is in the General's Mansion. From now on... once she's been made a lamb... all the good days will be hers, Wen Qingci's!

After the groom entered the mansion, the two sisters, dressed in bright red wedding gowns, bid farewell to their parents amidst the sounds of firecrackers and drums, and each boarded the bridal sedan chair that had come to welcome them.
