Chapter 424: The Task Jiang Cheng Entrusted Is a Bit Difficult

"Do you know why Si Rong called off the wedding at the ceremony in this life?" Shen Yuan asked softly.

Shen Lan got angry just mentioning it, "Because of that useless younger sister of mine asking Si Rong for a bride price?"

"No," Shen Yuan said, as if dropping a bombshell on the two of them, "It's because she has experienced a Rebirth."

"She has always been God's favorite; even if she died, the heavens would give her another chance."

Shen Yuan looked up at Shen Lan, "The reason she left your wedding ceremony that day was to go find Jiang Cheng. Dad, the thing she regretted most in her past life was marrying you."

Slap—

Shen Lan raised his hand and slapped her across the face, his lips trembling, "You're talking nonsense!"

"Is it because your mental state has been agitated that you've made up these things to lie to us?"

Si Rong was one thing, but Li Xuan loved him so much; how could she have remarried after he died?

"What are you doing?" Li Xuan pushed him away and hugged Shen Yuan, "Mom believes what you said."

Because ever since that wedding, the way Si Rong looked at her had indeed changed, always carrying undisguised hatred.

And this would also explain why she knew about the child she and Shen Lan had in secret.

The most urgent matter now is to find a way to avoid them ending up with the same fate as in the previous life.

"If you don't believe it, then go out and let our daughter talk to me alone," Li Xuan added.

Shen Lan stood up, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked out, his mind constantly replaying that sentence of Shen Yuan's just now.

The thing Si Rong regretted most in her past life was marrying him? Why? Hadn't he become a Deputy County Magistrate in his past life and made her a County Magistrate's wife? Was that not enough?

Rebirth means she wants to remarry Jiang Cheng. Right, there's also Jiang Cheng; he forgot to ask his daughter about his fate in the past life.

It must be that he held a higher official position, right? Hah, women are indeed all vain.

And they even have to cloak their little schemes in the guise of love; it's truly ridiculous.

Inside the room, the mother and daughter continued to chat.

"Then in the past life, how did you and Brother live?"

When Li Xuan brought this up, Shen Yuan was silent for a moment.

"We lived quite well."

Regardless of everything, although Shen Chi's marriage wasn't very happy, he had been in a good mood for quite a while after finding her, his biological daughter.

As for the aunt, although she divorced her husband, it could be considered a relief; that man was never any good to begin with.

Later, she went down the wrong path; looking at it now, it's exactly the same as Li Xuan—the upper beam is crooked, so the lower ones are askew.

She blamed herself in her past life, thinking it was her fault, and even felt guilty about it for a time.

Overall, the two siblings lived quite well.

"That's good." Li Xuan felt a bit more at ease, "I didn't expect Si Rong to be so vicious. In this life, I won't let her off."

Originally, she had intended to live her own life well and no longer interfere with Si Rong's life.

This was exactly what Shen Yuan wanted, so she couldn't help but say, "But now that Si Rong's business is so big, what are we going to do?"

Li Xuan was just making a harsh statement; she couldn't think of any way either.

"It would be great if Si Rong disappeared," Shen Yuan suddenly said.

Rather than trying to please someone who would never acknowledge her, it would be better to make her disappear.

As long as Si Rong is gone, there will be no one in this life to stop her from being with Jiang Sinian.

Li Xuan suddenly saw the light. That's right, rather than trying to outdo Si Rong, it would be better to make her disappear.

As long as she disappears, Shen Lan's heart will be hers alone.

Si Rong and Ming Zi boarded the train to Yunchuan City.

"Have you thought about what to do about your sister-in-law's family?" Ming Zi asked.

She felt more and more that not getting married was an excellent choice; otherwise, even in a high-quality marriage like Si Rong's, where the mother-in-law and husband are both great, there would inevitably be a meddlesome sister-in-law.

"Let them think about it themselves; it has nothing to do with me." Si Rong naturally loathed Jiang Qi too, but just like how she disliked Grandmother Jiang, she simply didn't want to have much contact with her, and it wouldn't affect her mood.

It's just that Jiang Cheng intended to let his sister raise Jiang Zhi to adulthood, and now it seems that might not be a very wise choice.

With Jiang Qi causing a small problem every three days and going missing every five, only thinking about going to see the world, can she really be a good mother?

"Right, don't worry about it," Ming Zi agreed, "Taking care of a relative's child is a thankless job."

"When I was little, my cousin lived at my house for a while. She ate and wore the same things as us, but after she grew up, she never visited our house again. I heard it was because when she was at our house, my Nainai made us new cotton-padded jackets but didn't make one for her."

Si Rong:...

Although she knew Jiang Zhi wouldn't be like that, many things from the past life had changed, and she truly couldn't guarantee that she could treat everyone equally with three children in the house.

Because now, with one daughter and one son at home, she already couldn't balance it perfectly.

Her daughter had a sweet mouth and was indeed more likable to her.

"Mm, I understand."

Two days later, they arrived in Yunchuan.

Yunchuan has many mountains, and the terrain is mostly a basin. In such a large place, Si Rong really didn't know where to go to "run into" Xue Ming.

She had no choice but to look around while talking to herself, "Where do you think there are a lot of men?"

Ming Zi:...

Her expression was quite indescribable, "No, girl, tell me honestly, what did you come out here for?"

"Don't tell me Jiang Cheng isn't capable, and you came out to find..."

Si Rong interrupted her, "No, I want to find a partner for you."

Also, Jiang Cheng is very capable.

Ming Zi:...

"You ran all the way to Yunchuan to find me a partner?"

Si Rong did not hide it from her any longer and had no choice but to bring up theology, "It's like this, I had a dream last night, and in the dream, an old man told me that your marriage fate is in Yunchuan."

"For the sake of your happiness, just listen to me this time."

Ming Zi:...

She believed that Rongrong would not harm her, but it was truly too magical.

Afterwards, they temporarily checked into a guesthouse.

Si Rong first called home to Huaiyang to report that she was safe.

In the evening, they watched a fireworks display and ate some of the local specialties here in Yunchuan.

The next day, Si Rong made a phone call to one of Jiang Cheng's comrades in Yunchuan.

That comrade was named Sun Yu, and he had previously served with Jiang Cheng in the Northwest Military Region; their friendship was quite deep.

Hearing that Jiang Cheng's wife had come to Yunchuan for a visit, he specifically took a day off to host them.

"Sister-in-law, we have many mountains here; you can go climb Yuan Peak, the scenery up there is excellent."

"Thank you, Comrade Sun," Si Rong said as she introduced her, "This is my friend, Ming Zi, she is single and twenty-five this year. Do you have anyone in your unit of a suitable age?"

Although he did not know why his sister-in-law had run all the way to Yunchuan to set her friend up on a blind date, Sun Yu assumed this was an invisible mission assigned to him by Brother Cheng.

He hurriedly replied, "Yes! There are many!"

"Then are there any with the surname Xue?" Si Rong added, "The elders in the family said she is compatible with someone surnamed Xue."

Ming Zi:...

Sun Yu:...

The mission Brother Cheng had entrusted to him was a bit difficult, so he could only rack his brains to think, "It seems... there is one... called Xue Ming..."
