"What nonsense are you spouting? Zheng Wei is not that kind of person. Besides, who does she, Shen Xiaoyan, think she is? Does she really believe a sparrow can fly to a phoenix perch? Even if she could go to Chang Qiu Hall, what kind of people are there? Would they treat her as their mistress? She can dream."
"Furthermore, my Brother Zheng Wei doesn't care for her. Brother Zheng Wei has me, and that's enough. I will wholeheartedly love Brother Zheng Wei and be good to him my entire life."
After speaking, Long Xuan's cheeks flushed. She glanced shyly at Zheng Wei, then quickly turned her head away.
Her profile was perfectly aligned with Zheng Wei's. From this angle, he could see her small, flushed earlobes.
She had practiced this pose countless times in front of the mirror. Anyone who saw her like this would surely be moved.
However, everyone in the room froze after she finished speaking.
Even Zheng Wei looked at Long Xuan in disbelief.
What had this woman eaten, or what medicine had she taken?
Did she forget how Shen Xiaoyan had disciplined her before?
And she still dared to covet Zheng Wei.
Yi Zhiye, Lu Taobao, Nana, and Zhong exchanged glances, each giving Long Xuan a thumbs-up in their hearts.
Indeed, she was the daughter of the Grand Elder of the Sun Heat Sect. Her ambition was immense!
In just a few days, she had forgotten the near-death experience she had just gone through.
Bai Ge'er, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed at Long Xuan's shy profile. After a long pause, she asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine? Don't you know who you are?"
If this were the past, Bai Ge'er, in her usual demeanor, would never have spoken to Long Xuan like this.
The reason she spoke now was out of sheer exasperation at Long Xuan.
Long Hao lowered his head, trying to minimize his presence.
He wondered why, among all of Long Ting's children, Long Xuan was so different from him.
Had all her brains been stuffed into her ears?
He was truly relieved that Long Ting had never acknowledged his identity. Otherwise, if everyone said he had a mentally challenged sister, he would have no face to see anyone.
Everyone in the room looked at Long Xuan as if she were an idiot, but Long Xuan herself was completely oblivious.
She felt that the reason everyone was looking at her like this was purely out of envy and jealousy that she could speak her heart out.
Therefore, she puffed out her chest, revealing her graceful figure, and continued, "I am not a fickle person. If I love Brother Zheng Wei, I will only love him, and I will never change for life."
Shen Xiaoyan entered the room just as she heard Long Xuan's words.
She walked slowly to Long Xuan's side, tilted her head, and looked at the shy expression on Long Xuan's face, saying coolly, "I just discovered, Madam Long Xuan, that you are someone who would risk life and death for love!"
Shen Xiaoyan moved without a sound, and Long Xuan was lost in her own sweet fantasy.
Thus, it wasn't until Shen Xiaoyan spoke that she noticed Shen Xiaoyan's face, magnified several times over.
"Ah!"
She let out a startled cry, but her legs had already gone weak, and she stood frozen in place.
Shen Xiaoyan curled her lips and smiled coldly.
With such a timid disposition, she dared to confess her feelings to her man.
Truly, she had no idea of the consequences.
It wasn't until Shen Xiaoyan took a step back that Long Xuan recovered her senses.
Her face, pale from fright, gradually regained its color.
Only then did she belatedly recall seeing Shen Xiaoyan's magnified face. Even at such close proximity, Shen Xiaoyan's skin was still smooth, delicate, and elastic, with a layer of fine down on her face, like the skin of a young maiden.
Most importantly, Shen Xiaoyan wore absolutely no makeup.
There was only a faint, fresh fragrance about her.
It was as if it were inherent to her body and soul, smelling pleasant and making one want to get closer to her.
Though she only looked for a moment, she noticed so many captivating aspects of Shen Xiaoyan.
These were all imprinted in her mind, replaying like a film reel.
This made Long Xuan's forehead throb. Her expression contorted in an instant.
She cupped her head with both hands and looked at Shen Xiaoyan with a twisted expression.
"It's you! Why is it you again!"
Long Xuan said, pointing her finger at Shen Xiaoyan.
Her tone was filled with resentment, as if Shen Xiaoyan had stolen something from her.
However, in Long Xuan's mind, that was precisely what had happened.
She truly believed that Shen Xiaoyan had stolen Zheng Wei.
Stolen her Zheng Wei.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at the somewhat frantic Long Xuan, rolled her eyes, and then turned to look at Zheng Wei.
The meaning was clear: the peach blossom you attracted, you should deal with it yourself.
Shen Xiaoyan walked to a nearby wooden chair and sat down, leisurely watching Long Xuan's tantrum.
Zheng Wei, seeing that she truly had no intention of intervening, could only shake his head helplessly.
Why was it that other women, upon encountering such a situation, would charge forward without hesitation, dealing with it before anything else?
But with Shen Xiaoyan, she simply let go.
He still remembered that back in Great Chu, she hadn't been like this.
Shen Xiaoyan actually felt quite helpless at this moment.
She believed she wasn't bad-looking, her figure was good, and her temperament and abilities were all decent. Why was it that no one liked her?
Or rather, why was it that no one other than Zheng Wei liked her?
She remembered reading novels in her previous life, where female protagonists who transmigrated, whether into farming novels, harem struggles, palace intrigues, or mystical worlds, encountered handsome men wherever they went.
It was possible for a handsome man to break through a door and seek shelter even while she was sleeping.
How come for her, as soon as she transmigrated, she had to get married and then have children?
She hadn't felt anything wrong with it before, but with woman after woman falling for Zheng Wei, like cutting endless leeks, she felt stifled.
Moreover, she felt it was unfair.
If it were just that no one liked her, fine. But she also had to deal with those little enchantresses who coveted Zheng Wei.
Thinking this, Shen Xiaoyan pouted slightly, her dissatisfaction evident.
Zheng Wei, who had been paying attention to Shen Xiaoyan, couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw her expression.
His dear Mi Mi was so adorable, even her jealousy was so cute.
He slowly got up, walked to Shen Xiaoyan's side, and took her hand. Zheng Wei then put on a wronged expression.
Shen Xiaoyan's eyes widened slightly. She wasn't feeling wronged yet, so why was he?
At this moment, Zheng Wei said, "I'm being harassed by a lunatic. If you don't help me, fine, but you're pushing me towards a lunatic! What if her illness infects me?"
Shen Xiaoyan:!
Everyone:?
Lunatic:??
Can someone explain what's going on!
As the person labeled a lunatic, Long Xuan was the first to react.
Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Zheng Wei, what are you saying? How can I be a lunatic? How can you call me a lunatic?"
After speaking, she paced back and forth anxiously.
"Zheng Wei, even if I am a lunatic, it's because of you."
Listening to Long Xuan's exclamations, everyone frowned.
Long Hao's gaze towards Long Xuan also became somewhat strange.
Although he had always known Long Xuan had a bad temper and a sharp tongue, she at least looked like a porcelain doll and was dressed exquisitely.
Even when she threw tantrums and scolded people, she still looked cute.
But now, she looked no different from a madwoman. Wasn't this exactly what Zheng Wei called a lunatic? She had been with Long Xuan all along, so why hadn't she noticed anything wrong with her?
Could it be that she had fallen victim to the Poison Hand of the Medicine King Valley?
He had heard that there was a medicine from the Medicine King Valley that, when consumed, could make people lose their minds.
Thinking of this, he immediately rushed to Wang Dahong's side.
