Chapter 272

"No wonder... no wonder... so that's how it is."

Just then, the diary updated again.

And today's new content was shockingly directly related to her own person!

【In the story, when Sun Biyun was forced by her Master Zhao Zhongli to use the beauty trap on Gu Gu Jianhun, she already had a lover named Wang Shuheng, and the two had reached the stage of discussing marriage.】

【Zhao Zhongli threatened Wang Shuheng with death, forcing him to let go; then he used Wang Shuheng's life to threaten Sun Biyun, forcing her to obey her Master's orders.】

【It was only because Sun Biyun accidentally fell in love with Gu Gu Jianhun that she did not hand over the obtained secret manual of the Tathagata Divine Palm to Zhao Zhongli.】

【After being abandoned by Gu Gu Jianhun, Sun Biyun returned to find Wang Shuheng, wishing to renew their old romance.】

【However, by that time Wang Shuheng had also shifted his affections, having gotten together with a woman named Liu Liu Piaopiao.】

【Sun Biyun was furious about this; in a rage, she killed Wang Shuheng, and Liu Liu Piaopiao had her face burned and disfigured by an overturned brazier during the argument.】

【Afterwards, Sun Biyun married Tu Tu Xuehua and became the Lady of the Shanzhuang.】

【And Liu Liu Piaopiao, whose beauty was originally no less than hers, became neither human nor ghost.】

【To take revenge on Sun Biyun, she used an alias to infiltrate the Shanzhuang as a servant; everyone in the estate called her the Ugly Old Woman.】

【And Liu Liu Piaopiao's purpose in lying in wait was not to kill Sun Biyun directly, but to bring ruin and disgrace upon the wife of the leader of the Righteous Path.】

【Unfortunately, the plan failed later, and her identity was exposed.】

【During the process of being chased and blocked by the crowd, Liu Liu Piaopiao, out of venting anger and revenge, used a poisonous spider called the Ruthless Mother to destroy the face of Sun Biyun's second daughter—Miss Xuejuan.】

【Miss Xuejuan lived a life worse than death because of this.】

"What? That evil woman harmed me so much because of my mother?!"

Miss Xuejuan was stunned.

With her face disfigured, Miss Xuejuan naturally harbored deep, grinding hatred for Liu Liu Piaopiao, the main culprit, wishing to carve her into a thousand pieces.

Even though her appearance is now restored to its original state, she has not let go of this hatred.

Once she has the chance, she will definitely take revenge.

But now, having learned of the old grudge between Liu Liu Piaopiao and her mother, Miss Xuejuan fell into confusion.

Because she did not know whether she should still take revenge for this.

Judging from the current situation, reality and the plot do not differ greatly; therefore, given Sun Biyun's actions, no matter how Liu Liu Piaopiao retaliates, it seems justified.

Having experienced it personally once, Miss Xuejuan knew very well how desperate and painful it was to transform from a great beauty into an ugly monster.

The Ugly Old Woman?

Heaven knows how stinging it is in the heart for a former great beauty to be called by such a name.

And this pain will gradually turn into deeper hatred, step by step, devouring a person's reason.

"The Ugly Old Woman..."

As the saying goes: Do not advise others to be kind if you have not suffered their hardships.

Miss Xuejuan had the same experience once, making her the most likely to resonate with Liu Liu Piaopiao.

However, understanding is one thing; facing someone who once harmed her so terribly, she ultimately could not let it go.

Precisely because of this, Miss Xuejuan's mood was so complex.

In another room, Tu Tu Xuehua, having learned the truth, could not help but think—

So Liu Liu Piaopiao was just returning tooth for tooth; then, if the object of the revenge back then had not been her younger sister but her, would Sun Biyun still have cared?

Tu Tu Xuehua's spirit staggered in a trance.

Perhaps Liu Liu Piaopiao also considered this point, which is why she chose Miss Xuejuan as the target?

If Tu Tu Xuehua were the one to endure this suffering, Sun Biyun truly might not have felt any pain.

【Hearing Tu Tu Xuehua say that her sister's face was disfigured by Liu Liu Piaopiao, I knew the plot should be roughly the same.】

【Upon arriving at the Shanzhuang, Sun Biyun fell victim to the Thousand-Day Laugh again in exactly the same way.】

【And in the story, it was Gu Gu Jianhun who ordered his subordinate Liu Liu Piaopiao to produce the antidote, allowing the Thousand-Day Laugh to be cured; but now, it is uncertain whether Liu Liu Piaopiao has joined the Yu Sect.】

【Sun Biyun knows I cured Miss Xuejuan's face, so she wants to ask me to remove her poison; how could that be so easy?】

【This woman is too wicked and too biased; she simply does not treat Tu Tu Xuehua as a human being; I must teach her a lesson and make her learn.】

"So it was Liu Liu Piaopiao who poisoned her again."

"Yes, besides her, who else would be so opposed to Mother?"

While realizing the truth, Miss Xuejuan also felt a wave of relief.

"Teach Mother a lesson? Then will he really save Mother?"

"Sister must also have a copy of the diary; will she harbor resentment toward Mother?"

"If even Sister gives up on Mother, will Najiang Big Brother still intervene?"

Miss Xuejuan was filled with worry.

She continued reading further down.

The subsequent content revealed no secrets, but Miss Xuejuan read with a flushed face and her heart pounding wildly.

Because Jiang Sishui did not hide his desire in the diary to eat the sisters' rice bowl, and his tone was one of determined success.

"He... how can he be so greedy? One is not enough; he also wants..."

The words stopped halfway, suddenly cut off.

She suddenly remembered that Jiang Sishui had already hidden more than twenty beauties in the Mandala Shanzhuang; then what did the two sisters amount to?

Clearly, his appetite was huge, huge enough to swallow them whole in one bite!

Miss Xuejuan suddenly felt like a bird in a net, with no escape.

But why didn't her heart resist all that much?

Because Jiang Sishui's own conditions were excellent, matching her fantasy of the lover of her dreams?

Because she had read the diary too much, and the choices of those women around Jiang Sishui had subtly influenced her?

Because Hou Jian had healed her face, and she felt grateful in her heart?

Or perhaps, all of these?

Tu Xuejuan stared blankly, lost in thought, silent and speechless.

Just at this moment, the system's voice rang out—

【Detected that Jiang Sishui has completed today's diary, congratulations on obtaining one month of true Qi】

【Now drawing today's winner…】

【Congratulations to Tu Xuejuan on obtaining "ten years of true Qi"】

"Ten years of true Qi…"

Feeling a large surge of true Qi appear out of thin air within her body, forcefully pushing her cultivation to the Late Grandmaster Stage, Tu Xuejuan rejoiced in her heart.

This thrill of unearned gain was truly hard to refuse.

But after the pleasant surprise, she felt a touch of regret.

Because the true Qi reward was given to everyone every day, and for someone like her, the true Qi obtained from the lottery was actually the most common type of reward in the prize pool.

Jiang Sishui's diary didn't always reveal many secrets every day; sometimes it only wrote about daily trivial matters, so over half of the winners randomly drawn that day received true Qi rewards.

It was just that the quantities varied.

Ten years was barely considered an average amount.

Fortunately, Tu Xuejuan was not a greedy nature, and moreover, with the diary copy in hand, the benefits were long-term, so she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Lowering her head to look at the diary copy — it was this thing that contained countless secrets.

Recalling the past diary contents, it seemed that once Jiang Sishui had set his sights on someone, not a single one escaped; they all entered the Shanzhuang.

Tu Xuejuan's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but think of Bai Feifei in her mind, and then of her own mother…

After a long while, her gaze suddenly became firm.

She put away the diary copy, rose, and went out the door.

……

The Shanzhuang.

In the room, sitting at the head of the bed, Jiang Sishui put away his diary and claimed his reward......

Beside him, Hou Jian slept soundly.
