As soon as these words came out, there was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time.
Luo Yu'an waited politely for a while, then said, "Sorry, if there is nothing else, I will hang up."
Although she said sorry, it was not pleasant at all. Qi Ji suddenly smiled and sighed, "It's been a long time since I was rejected so bluntly. I couldn't react for a while."
Luo Yu'an's tone was calm, without any sarcasm, "Because as the wife of the god, everyone admires and respects me. I've gotten used to this kind of life, and I feel that no one can refuse me."
She had only been the wife of Ujigami for a short time, but being in this environment, she was almost getting used to the feeling of being "superior". Qi Ji had been a "big shot" for so many years, so naturally he felt it more deeply.
Qi Ji was silent again. "You're right." She changed the subject and returned to the previous topic. "Since you are unwilling to come to Jinzhou to play and let me play the role of a good host, then I have no choice but to bring my disappointing young people to Yuzhou to apologize to you in person."
Luo Yu'an: "Welcome, let me do my duty as a host. I'll be waiting for you at the old house."
Qi Ji: "I'm not used to living in your old house, so I'll go to the house where we met last time. I'll stay a few more days this time, so please don't think I'm annoying."
Luo Yu'an smiled: "Of course not."
After the friendly conversation ended, Ming Huang, who was listening at the side, asked dully, "Sister An, are you just going to reject her like that? I heard that Liang's God's wife has lived for a long time!"
Luo Yu'an sighed: "He looks younger than me. I can't respect the elderly."
Ming Huang: "That's not what I'm talking about. In the past, I saw the daughters of the clan occasionally interacting with other families, and they were all very reserved. Sister An, you are so direct! But being direct is really cool, hehe."
Luo Yu'an tilted his head and smiled at her, "Contact the people at the Yuhan District house and ask them to prepare to entertain the guests."
Seeing her leaving in a hurry after she finished speaking, Ming Huang was stunned, "Ah? Aren't you going over there to host the event?"
Luo Yu'an waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
She will entertain the guests tomorrow as she has to go see her second brother.
"Second brother, I'm going to Yuhan District tomorrow and will probably stay there for two days. I'll send you a video then and let Minghuang connect you, okay?" Luo Yu'an said softly as he combed Shishen's extremely soft hair.
Ujigami shook his head, "No."
Luo Yu'an spread his long hair on his knees and combed it carefully. "Okay, if you don't want to see it, forget it. But, brother, are the Qin family and the Liang family really on good terms?"
Although everyone said so, the two Liang family members Luo Yu'an met, including Liang's wife Qi Ji, had a subtle attitude towards Qin. Liang Wenye's frivolous tone when he mentioned Qin before, and Qi Ji's two mentions of Qin's "little secret", could be interpreted as a friendly joke, or as an ulterior motive.
"When a flower blooms, it is good; when it withers, it is bad; when it bears fruit, it is good; when it rots, it is bad. Good and bad are not eternal." Ujigami had his back to her, so her expression could not be seen, but his tone was cold and without any fluctuations.
Luo Yu'an braided his hair, tied a bow at the end, put it on his shoulders, hugged him from behind, buried his face in his shoulders, and took a deep breath of his cool and fragrant scent.
Liang Wenye offended the Qin family because of his careless words and hurried back to Jinzhou. However, before he even arrived one day, he was ordered to go back to Yuzhou to apologize to someone.
"Why?" Liang Wenye's temper got even worse in front of his parents, and he made a scene. "I just said a few harsh words, and she has to come to my house to apologize. That woman is making a fuss out of nothing. I heard that she was an ignorant commoner before, and the Qin family chose her at random. Now she has become very powerful and is using me to establish her authority!"
No matter how earnestly his mother tried to persuade him, he just turned his head and said, "I won't go. It's embarrassing!"
The Liang family is not like the Qin family. There are only a few members left in the family now, and every member of the family is very precious. Liang Wenye is the youngest son of a powerful figure in this generation of the Liang family, so he has developed such an arrogant and domineering personality.
But this time, he couldn't be willful anymore. His father rebuked him with a stern face: "The old lady has said it herself, do you still want to disobey her? If you don't go, I will break your legs and carry you over! I said that if you refuse to restrain your temper, you will cause a big disaster sooner or later!"
"Tsk, what's the big deal?" Seeing his father's rage, Liang Wenye suppressed his arrogance a little, but still refused to accept it: "Go if you want to, I don't believe it. I went with the old lady. Do they dare to do anything to me?"
The Liang clan members seldom saw their clan god, but they could often see the clan god's wife. As the clan god's representative on earth, she often traveled outside. Most of the young people in the Liang family studied in the family's private school. Qi Ji was the honorary principal of the school. The children of the Liang family had known her since they were young. She had watched each of them grow up, and Liang Wenye was no exception.
Because one of their ancestors was said to have been raised by old lady Qi Ji herself, Liang Wenye had such a special circumstance, and won Qi Ji's favor. With this backer, he acted even more arrogantly.
When he met Qi Ji, he complained in a rather intimate way, "Madam, the Qin family wouldn't be so stingy as to punish me, right? You have to help me."
Qi Ji glanced at him calmly and told him to stay put. "You are still young, and of course the elders won't bother with you. But the mouth can cause trouble, so you should be more careful in the future."
After being gently criticized, Liang Wenye was not afraid at all, and even felt more confident, because he could hear that the old lady would definitely protect him, after all, he was still young!
Luo Yu'an received Qi Ji, Liang Wenye and their group at her mansion in Yuhan District. Qi Ji was still as warm and relaxed as ever. After greeting her, he patted Liang Wenye on the arm and asked him to apologize.
Liang Wenye said sorry honestly and seemed much more obedient than before. Unfortunately, Luo Yu'an saw him pouting and rolling his eyes secretly.
"I have long wanted to talk to you more. If you hadn't refused to come to our Jinzhou, I would have taken you around to have a look." Qi Ji said to Luo Yu'an, "I haven't seen the wives of other clan gods for a long time. You and I are of the same status. Although there is a big age difference, we must have a lot of common topics."
She said some meaningless polite words, and then talked about the house and praised it a little.
Luo Yu'an: "Compared to this house, I like the old house better. No one lives here all the time. I'm sorry for not hosting you. If you're willing to live in the old house, that would be great. The air and environment there are better."
Qi Ji paused and said, "Forget it, I won't disturb your clan god. It's good to live here. With the relationship between our two clans, there's no need to be so polite."
After arranging for them to stay, Ming Huang, who was accompanying them, whispered, "I just saw Liang Wenye quietly rolling his eyes. He is indeed a moron as Ming Hui said. He thought we wouldn't notice! They didn't come here to apologize. It was too perfunctory."
Luo Yu'an didn't care, she had other doubts in her mind. Qi Ji refused to go to the old house twice, and she always felt that Qi Ji seemed to be afraid of the old house. She was definitely not afraid of the old house itself, but the clan god inside.
Why
Liang Wenye entered the assigned room, slammed the door, and looked at the room critically. It was spacious and decorated in an antique style, but it definitely did not suit the taste of a young man like him.
"It's really tacky, who would do this kind of decoration nowadays?" He muttered a few words, then casually lay down on the chair, took out his phone and chatted with someone. As he chatted, he felt drowsy and fell asleep unknowingly.
As the sun set, a candle suddenly lit up in the house. Liang Wenye opened his eyes in the flickering red light and was startled by the strange and terrifying scene before him.
"Shit! What's going on!"
The originally spacious room was suddenly filled with countless red lines. These lines crisscrossed and covered the entire room, like the meridians and blood vessels in the human body.
The Qin family deliberately arranged these things to scare me and teach me a lesson? This thought immediately popped up in Liang Wenye's mind, and his anger suppressed the shock of seeing such a scene when he just woke up.
Red lines, this kind of thing will break if you grab it casually, it's ridiculous to try to scare him with this. He sneered and waved his hand at the crisscrossing red lines in front of him.
The red line that looked very fragile did not even sway. Liang Wenye slowly felt the severe pain in his hand. He saw his blood spurting out. His fingers and arms were cut into pieces by the red line, including his bones. It was as easy as cutting tofu with the sharpest knife.
“Ah… Ah!” Liang Wenye looked at the horrific scene in front of him and finally realized what had happened. He screamed in horror and pain while holding his broken arm which was bleeding like a fountain.
"What's going on... Help! Help!" He stared at the red line with rapid breathing and cold sweat on his forehead. His blood was still dripping on it, sticky and slowly dripping onto the floor.
"Someone come and save me! Old lady! Help me, wuwu!"
Liang Wenye's face was twisted in pain, and he fell down in the tiny gap between the red lines, not daring to move, nor dare to touch these seemingly harmless and soft red lines again. The room was silent, with only his desperate screams for help.
"Bang—" a slight sound of the wire being tightened made Liang Wenye's scalp numb instantly.
"No, no, no..."
The still red lines suddenly seemed to be pulled by someone. They intertwined slightly and tightened towards the gap in the middle.
Liang Wenye's voice suddenly stopped. Countless bright red liquids slid down the red line, and the pieces of meat that were cut into countless pieces disappeared under the red line.
Qin's Old House
The god on the altar moved his sleeves, and the red thread in his white palm trembled slightly as he casually plucked it. After this very ordinary action, he lowered his hands, and the hanging red threads squirmed back into his sleeves.
The white god floated down from the altar, raised his head, and spread out his wide sleeves.
The light of the red candle in the shrine suddenly went out.
A sudden gust of wind swept through the forest outside the old house. The thousand-year-old trees made cracking sounds under the heavy weight. The wind came quickly and went away quickly.
In a secret Liang family mansion far away in Jinzhou, the bells hanging under the eaves suddenly shook violently, making a constant noisy tinkling sound, and finally broke and shattered, smashing on the wooden corridor. The white corners of the clothes fluttered, passing over the broken bells, and the Qin family god who was originally in the old house appeared here silently.
As he floated forward, the tightly closed door in front of him kept opening and closing. He was like the master of this place, floating all the way to the most open room inside without any hindrance.
The most eye-catching thing in the room was a soft bed with a person lying on it. The "person" looked extremely scary, like a mottled and falling stone statue, with cracks and half-detached shells all over his body.
Sensing the arrival of the uninvited guest, the "person" on the bed slowly opened his eyes and said, "God Qin, long time no see."
The white figure floating beside the bed looked down at him, "Long time no see, Liang God."
The man sunk deep in bed was actually the Liang god who Qi Ji mentioned was busy with work and living a good life.
"Thanks to a descendant of your Liang family, I can come here." Although Qin Shishen looked indifferent, his tone was calm, "Your wife hid you very well."
Liang Shishen's tone was equally calm, even with the flavor of chatting with an old friend, "Yes, she was too worried about me, and she was a little unstable in her actions. What about you? I heard that you also have a wife, how is she?"
His cloudy and stiff eyes were fixed on the long braid on Qin Shishen's shoulder, where a bow was tied with red thread, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised a stiff smile, "It seems that he is a cute child."
Qin Shishen agreed and repeated, "It's a lovely child."
