Coming out of the Situ Mansion, I discovered that the best person in the world was not Guan Lu, who gave me guidance, not Qian Xiaosheng, who gave me a great spear, not Boss Dong, who granted me the title of Wenhou, but Situ Wangyun.

Because after the rain, Wangyun appeared at the right time, smiling and saying, "The number one hero in the world naturally deserves the number one beauty!"

No, it's not Wangyun either.

It's Diao Chan, the peerless Diao Chan!

I rushed back to the Wenhou Mansion in one breath and quickly sent someone to propose marriage.

Suddenly, I laughed, laughed heartily.

I instructed my servants, "Go to the Situ Mansion and bring back my Red Hare horse."

I was so excited that I actually forgot about my Red Hare horse. Originally, I could have ridden the Red Hare horse back to the mansion.

The matchmaker reported back that Sir Situ said, "Little Lady Diao Chan being able to marry Wenhou is the blessing of the Wang family. In five days, it will be an auspicious day. Please wait patiently for the good news, Wenhou."

Three days later, Boss Dong invited me to the Xiang Mansion for a meal.

As I ate, I wondered why the hairy crabs at the Xiang Mansion were not as delicious as those at the Situ family?

With wine half drunk, Boss Dong snapped his fingers in the air—now you know, following trends and fads is so terrifying. In Chang'an City, people with status consider snapping fingers fashionable.

Of course, you have to make sure that after snapping your fingers, you can get food, money, or even people.

This time, it was about people—a melodious sound of pipes and drums, and suddenly a warm white light appeared in front of me.

That white light looked very familiar, and involuntarily, I held my breath and focused...

The crab in my hand fell from the jade plate, and the dancing woman turned out to be Diao Chan!

I turned my head in astonishment and looked at Boss Dong. Boss Dong laughed heartily, "A beauty that can overthrow a nation, indeed a beauty that can overthrow a nation! My son, Zhang Liao, can capture the head of a general in a million-man army without changing his expression. But seeing his beloved concubine, he seems to lose his composure!"

Beloved concubine?

How did my Diao Chan become his adoptive father's beloved concubine?!

I pinched my thigh hard—this time, I pinched my own thigh.

I didn't jump up, but I knew this was definitely not a dream.

I looked bewildered, gazing at the slowly turning Diao Chan in the dance pool. I could see that her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with tears, and she was heartbroken.

My adoptive father, on the other hand, clapped along with the rhythm, saying to Diao Chan, "Smiling like spring flowers, captivating and enchanting!"

I rubbed my eyes.

When Diao Chan slowly turned towards me, indeed her eyes were filled with tears, and she was heartbroken.

Where did the "smiling like spring flowers" go?

I was completely confused.

My adoptive father was already half-drunk, waving his hand to signal Diao Chan to accompany him to bed.

Diao Chan obediently supported my corpulent adoptive father and slowly walked towards the bed.

Suddenly, my heart trembled, as if it had been whipped fiercely!

My adoptive father disappeared into the red silk curtain.

Diao Chan slowly let down the curtain, casting a helpless glance at me!

The curtain slowly covered Diao Chan's face...

The tears in my eyes and the blood on my lips fell to the ground at the same time.

I could hear the sound of my tears and blood falling to the ground...

In a daze, I saw that drop of blood on the ground slowly spreading out, turning into Ding Yuan's neck, gurgling blood.
