Chapter 44: Enemy's Power
"In order for this child to be born safely, the retribution you receive should be more severe, otherwise it may bring disaster to future generations."

The meaning of her words seemed to have known what this man had done.

Hearing this, Xu Shanshan's face, which had been pretending to be strong, began to falter. Her thick eyelashes drooped down, hiding her red and sour eyes, and not letting her fragility show up at this moment.

She would not feel sorry for Lou Mingxiao. In her heart, he was a villain, a man who forced her.

She hates him.

The reason why she spared his life was because he had saved her before. Even until the last moment, he was fighting to save her and the baby in her belly.

Xu Shanshan is a strong person. Since she cannot die, she will no longer "reminisce" about her sad past.

She protected her abdomen and walked to Xu Shanshan with unsteady steps.

A pair of watery eyes, complex and incredible: "Are you really... Shanshan?"

Her face has grown a little, with curved eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small and straight nose, and pink lips of just the right thickness. Even without any makeup, it is already a beautiful and delicate face.

Judging from facial features alone, her face is not as bright as Xu Shanshan's, but Xu Shanshan has a very special temperament, like the snow on the mountains at dusk amidst the clouds in the distance, her appearance is holy and her heart is peaceful.

And her terrifying power...

But how could such a person be Xu Shanshan?

Xu Shanshan did not prove who she was, so she didn't care about Xu Shanshan's suspicion.

"Sister——"

Xu Shuishui ran down from the second floor of the cave excitedly.

My face was covered with tears and snot, and I didn't know how long I cried silently.

He was fixed behind a stone pillar by Xu Shanshan's "Spirit of Words" and could not move, but he could hear.

"Shuishui?"

When Xu Shanshan saw her brother, she couldn't hold back her tears. She rushed forward, squatted down and hugged him. Her fingers trembled and she kept touching his little face: "Shui Shui, have you been okay these days on earth?"

Xu Shuishui wiped her nose with her sleeve and sobbed, "Big sister, I'm fine. My second sister brought me here to save you. She said you were in danger. Woohoo... Fortunately, you're okay, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Xu Shanshan hugged Xu Shuishui, patted his trembling back soothingly, and met Xu Shanshan's gaze: "Why are you on Black Island? Why did you save us? What happened with the Xu family... Have you forgotten everything?"

Although Xu Shanshan and Xu Shanshan's sisterhood ended that year, she did not hate Xu Shanshan that much.

Because they were the winner and Xu Shanshan was the loser, they drove her out of the Xu family.

But she can not hate, but can Xu Shanshan?
Xu Shanshan still remembers her vicious and resentful look at that time.

Xu Shanshan made up an excuse at random. She said, "I haven't forgotten, but I already have five fiancés. I don't care about your ugly man. The past is like yesterday."

Xu Shanshan's eyes widened: "..." Five, five? !
What on earth did she do outside to have such a good life?
Not to mention Xu Shanshan who was frightened, Mo Han and Fang Yingjie also looked shocked as if they were struck by lightning.

I've only heard that a man can marry a concubine and one, two, three, four or five beautiful concubines, but this is the first time I've heard that a woman can choose five men at the same time. What kind of amazing background does she have to be able to do this?

Mo Han glanced at Fang Yingjie and whispered, "Could it be a gay wife..."

"You mean, those who can't afford to marry a wife, so the whole family pools money to buy a woman to marry all the men in the family?" Fang Yingjie also replied in a low voice. As soon as the two of them finished their answers, they both showed a ridiculous look of constipation in the next second.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even if there is a possibility that our Master Xu is the empress, there is absolutely no possibility that she is the wife of a gay man!
"Xu Shanshan, even if you have let go of the past, you still don't have any deep friendship with us siblings..."

Seeing that she was still doubting this and that, Xu Shanshan asked directly: "Xu Shanshan, besides your life, what else can others want from you?"

She choked.

But then she clenched her fists, let go of Xu Shuishui, and asked cynically, "How should I know?"

"There are many reasons in this world that I cannot understand no matter how hard I think. For example, our Xu family is worthy of the monarch and the common people. We have been a charity for three generations and have been kind and friendly to others. Why did we still suffer such a disaster?"

"I don't understand. I don't understand. Who is trying to harm our Xu family?"

"And me, I have been following the rules since I was young, studying the female rules, having a gentle personality, not fighting or competing, and learning how to manage a household, all in the hope of waiting for the day when I can happily marry my own man. But now... I am ruined and rotten, but I cannot die. I still have a younger brother to raise, and I still have a blood feud to avenge."

Weeping blood every word.

"Yes, I don't have anything that others want...but I can no longer trust anyone."

Xu Shanshan listened to her quietly, and saw Xu Shuishui crying and hugging her again. The two siblings snuggled together and licked each other's wounds.

"I owe you the Xu family a favor. I can tell you and your brother's fortune for free. You can ask me anything you want to know."

Xu Shuishui had some trust in Xu Shanshan, so he quickly asked, "Can you really ask anything? I, I want to know who harmed our Xu family."

She waved her hand, and all the gravel on the ground rolled up. She lowered her eyes to the ground: "The upper hexagram is Dui, which represents a marsh, and the lower hexagram is Qian, which represents heaven. The hexagram is five yang and one yin, with six yin lines on top, and the yin is above the yang. It represents a villain in power. The Xu family has offended a villain, and this villain has enormous power behind him."

Xu Shuishui stared in astonishment at the word "雷" (thunder) formed by the stones. Then, they were disassembled again and merged into the word "晋" (Jin).

When Xu Shanshan saw the word "Lei", she was not surprised, but when she saw that it finally became the word "Jin", she seemed to have lost her soul, with shocked eyes and distraught.

"Lei...is it the Lei family?" Xu Shuishui asked for a more precise answer.

"Yes."

"Then what is this Jin?"

What is it?
Didn’t I just mention that “the people behind the scenes are extremely powerful”?

Mo Han blurted out: "Could it be the King of Jin?!"

Fang Yingjie covered his mouth with his hand, looked around, and said through gritted teeth: "Just guess it, and keep your voice down!"

Xu Shanshan said at this time: "People outside can't hear or see clearly."

The formation she had set up had not yet been removed. If she wanted to imprison someone, she would do so. If she wanted to isolate any sound, she would do so tightly and not let any information leak out.

After hearing this, Fang Yingjie let go of Mo Han's mouth.

"If it involves Prince Jin and your Xu family's revenge, I suggest you give up. At least you two siblings can still live well." Mo Han said coldly.

Fang Yingjie also said indifferently: "Don't even think about going against those powerful people. Just give up."
