Chapter 1318: The Mermaid in the Mansion
During the day and night that Wen Ren Ding was chasing to the imperial capital, the remaining three people in the Wen family were not idle at all.
Using the ready-made witnesses: Han Chengbin, Fang Jianzhang, and Qiu Liang, and relying on their extraordinary brains, they finally pieced together what sinister things the Su family had done behind the scenes.
Su Sheng's target was never just Shi Li or Wen Rending, but the entire Wen family.
The story begins several years ago.
Perhaps it was God's will that Wen Rending and Su Sheng were born on the same day.
The snow was heavy, covering almost everything.
A ragged sorcerer knocked on the door of the Su family when Mrs. Su was about to give birth. The upset head of the Su family wanted to send the sorcerer away, but was stopped by the kind-hearted Mrs. Su, who welcomed the sorcerer into the house.
This sorcerer had received great kindness from Madam Su, and today he calculated that Madam Su had given birth to a disaster, so he came here specifically to stop it.
The sorcerer said that the newborn Su Sheng was a disaster star, who would bring disaster to the whole family and even bring disaster to all quarters. It would be best to kill him in the cradle to prevent any future trouble.
Mrs. Su almost fainted after hearing this. She no longer cared about her weak body after giving birth, and knelt on the ground, begging the sorcerer to save her child.
In order to repay her kindness, the sorcerer used a magic that could change fate and swapped the fates of Su Sheng and Wen Ren Ding, who were born on the same day.
This evil magic that went against God's will first backfired on Madam Su, causing her to suffer in bed for three days before she died. Before her death, she begged the sorcerer to look after her only child.
Wenren Ding's original fate was extremely noble. The sorcerer could steal the destiny but he could not hinder it forever. He calculated again against God's will and found out that Wenren Ding would meet a "noble man" in the future and get back the fate that originally belonged to him.
In order to fulfill Mrs. Su's last wish, he had to take Su Sheng away and taught him everything he knew and learned over the years, hoping that Su Sheng would be able to change his destiny again in the future.
Su Sheng is better than his teacher. He calculated that Wen Ren Ding would meet a "noble person" in Qizhen Tower, and hurried to stop it, but he was still a step too late, and Wen Ren Ding met Shi Li.
He planned and schemed, but good prevailed over evil and he finally got the fate he deserved.
"The accident that happened to my wife and your kidnapping were all caused by the Su family. They wanted to kill you."
After Wang Cuilu finished speaking, her eyes also turned red, but the matter was over. She took a deep breath and looked at Shi Li with great gratitude, "Thanks to our Li Li."
Shi Li: ...
She did nothing, but was treated as a benefactor by this family. She really didn't deserve it.
Feeling Wen Ren Ding's body stiffen, Shi Li knew that he must be feeling uncomfortable after hearing the truth, so she reached out and patted his chest.
"I am so tired."
The delicate, soft and sweet voice occupied Wen Ren Ding's entire mind. He could not think of anything else. He stood up, carried her back to the room.
When they returned to the bedroom, Shi Li no longer had to worry about being laughed at. She raised her head and hugged Wen Ren Ding tightly.
"A Ding, A Ding, you don't know how I spent this whole day and night. I was scared to death. I thought I would never see you again. I thought I was going to die..."
She deliberately exaggerated her experience, hoping to divert Wen Ren Ding's attention and get him away from those bad things. However, as she spoke, she felt really aggrieved and her eyes turned red.
But compared with Wenren Ding, what she encountered was really insignificant.
Shi Li sniffed, put her cheek against Wen Rending's face, and said with a sob: "From now on, the two of us will be together, and we will never encounter bad things again."
Wen Ren Ding hugged her silently. After hearing these words, he slowly lowered his head and gave her gentle kisses.
Shi Li was not his benefactor.
But it is a soul that was lost in childhood.
Now he can be considered a flesh-and-blood person.
The coachman, holding 1.2 million taels of silver, did not dare to waste time on the road. He drove the carriage day and night and finally returned to the imperial capital before curfew. He handed the box to the new emperor personally.
"One million two hundred thousand taels!"
Although the new emperor had waited for a long time, he still couldn't help being surprised when he saw the box of banknotes with his own eyes.
After opening the box, picking up the banknotes and looking at them over and over again, the new emperor revealed a rather complicated smile.
"The people of Wenren are really..."
