Chapter 152 Husband, I actually have 1 wife and 3 concubines outside
When Fairy Jinghuan saw Xue Baochai, she remained calm and even nodded, but she couldn't help feeling ashamed in her heart.
She was originally the master of the Great Illusionary Realm, high and mighty, but now she was bound here by mortals. It was thanks to her that she assured Xue Baochai last night that everything would return to normal today...
How can this be tolerated?
Seeing Xue Baochai approaching and seeming to help her untie herself, Fairy Jinghuan hurriedly stopped her with her eyes.
Xue Baochai was also very smart. After seeing this, she stopped acting rashly and even helped Xiangling to dress up Fairy Jinghuan as the most beautiful bride.
Finally, he helped Fairy Jinghuan to go outside to worship.
……
At this time, the village was bustling with activity.
When the bandits heard that Cao Rui was going to take another concubine, they all regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs.
"Oh my! If I had known Yanzhihu was so generous, I would have fought to the death to become her man!"
"That's right! Cao Rui is so lucky. He took a concubine on the day he married the village chief, and wanted to take another concubine the next day. Not only was the village chief not angry, he also contributed money and effort. It's like he was kicked in the head by a donkey!"
"Alas, when the village chief wanted to hold a martial arts competition to win a bride, everyone hid themselves, causing the village chief to lose face. It's no use regretting it now."
……
Everyone was talking about it, their words were full of disbelief and regret, and they were full of envy and jealousy towards Cao Rui.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
According to the rules, taking a concubine does not need to be so solemn. She can just be carried in through the side door and offered tea to the master and his wife, and that's considered the ceremony complete.
But Cao Rui is not a native of the world of Red Mansions, and has not been poisoned by feudalism, so he doesn't care about these rules.
Whether it was Chen Shuozhen, Aunt Xue, or the current Fairy Jinghuan, they all had a formal wedding ceremony and then had their names written into the wives section of the family tree.
His wife, Chen Shuozhen, was also a rebellious person and had no objection to this.
Aunt Xue only thought that Cao Rui valued her, and although she was happy, she never thought deeply about the meaning behind it.
Only Fairy Jinghuan, who was the master of the Grand Illusionary Realm, felt uneasy instinctively, but because she was tied up by the divine chains, she was unable to figure out the reason.
The worship is over.
Xue Baochai, Xiangling and others surrounded Fairy Jinghuan and came before Chen Shuozhen and Aunt Xue.
Xiangling picked up a cup of tea, handed it to Fairy Jinghuan, and signaled her to offer the tea to Cao Rui.
Fairy Jinghuan had no way to resist and could only do as she was told.
When it was her turn to serve tea to Chen Shuozhen, she couldn't help but sneer:
"Being my sister, drinking the tea I offer you, can you handle it?"
"Why can't I bear it?"
"Okay, then I'll toast you!"
It seems like heaven has some feelings.
Suddenly, a deafening bolt of thunder exploded in the clear sky, drawing everyone's attention to the sky.
The lightning streaked across the sky like a giant dragon, followed by rumbling thunder that made the huge Yushan Mountain seem to tremble.
The flickering candlelight in the house and the mottled light and shadows added a bit of tension and uneasiness.
Chen Shuozhen looked up at the sky, her brows unconsciously furrowed, and suddenly she sneered, took the tea from Fairy Jinghuan, took a sip, and threw the teacup to the ground.
There was only a crisp "pop" sound, which sounded particularly clear in this tense atmosphere.
Although it was insignificant compared to the deafening bolt from the blue just now, it seemed to carry a decisive power.
The sound of the teacup breaking echoed in the quiet house, and the fragments flew around, making a slight tinkling sound.
Fairy Jinghuan was slightly startled, and there was a bit more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Chen Shuozhen.
She originally thought that Chen Shuozhen was just an ordinary woman, but she did not expect that under the power of thunder, she could be so bold to do such a thing.
Although the sound of the cup breaking was small, it seemed to have a tremendous force, which made Fairy Jinghuan feel a strange feeling in her heart.
This woman doesn't seem to be simple!
……
Next it was Aunt Xue's turn to serve tea, but she was so scared that she hurriedly waved her hands to refuse, not daring to accept it at all.
Xue Baochai saw it all, and although she knew that this was her mother's nature, she still felt a little disappointed.
However, as a filial daughter, she quickly went forward to comfort her.
The crowd did not force her and escorted Fairy Jinghuan into the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, the light of the red candles swayed gently, making the entire room warm and ambiguous.
Fairy Jinghuan sat quietly beside the bed, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.
As the veil was slowly lifted, her beautiful face was exposed in front of Cao Rui.
And she also saw that Cao Rui, the villain who disrupted the fate of the golden hairpins, has now become her husband.
Fairy Jinghuan has regarded all of this as her fate. Since she cannot escape it, she can only face it bravely and is determined to cultivate her mind and practice cultivation in it.
She took the initiative to approach Cao Rui and feel his breath.
The red candles continued to sway, surrounding the newlyweds in an atmosphere of happiness and sweetness.
……
As a result, happiness begets sadness!
Fairy Jinghuan and Cao Rui were sleeping in each other's arms. Suddenly, a strange feeling came over them.
She was startled for a moment, and then as if struck by thunder, she reached out her hand to touch her abdomen with great stiffness.
Inside: a faint but extremely clear breath of life is flowing slowly, like a tender bud in early spring, tenaciously and firmly announcing her existence.
Fear was like a tide, instantly spreading throughout Fairy Jinghuan's body.
How could the Lord of the Great Illusionary Realm, an existence beyond this earthly world, be pregnant?
This was something she had never thought about or expected.
Fairy Jinghuan kicked Cao Rui awake and asked:
"What exactly did you do to me?"
"you guess?"
"..."
Fairy Jinghuan sat there, motionless, like a puppet that had lost its soul. She had forgotten the passage of time and fell into a state of madness in which she refused to eat, drink or sleep.
Cao Rui was very worried at first, but was awakened by Chen Shuozhen's words:
"Don't worry, my husband. The third concubine is a female cultivator with great skills. Fasting is probably her basic skill. She won't die if she doesn't eat or drink for a few days."
Cao Rui thought it made sense, so after asking Aunt Xue to take care of the child, he proposed going down the mountain to kill ten bullies who bullied men and women, or to ask a rapist to ride the wooden donkey.
"It just so happens that I also need to show up in Jinling City. And the household registration you asked me to handle has been done by someone else, and it will be changed to death status the next day."
This request is undoubtedly very strange. The purpose of applying for a fake household registration is naturally to hide one's identity, but why should one change it to a dead person?
Chen Shuozhen had no intention of exploring and directly pulled Cao Rui into the secret room.
The light in the secret room was dim and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Chen Shuozhen looked at Cao Rui and said seriously:
"My husband, I have a secret to tell you."
Cao Rui nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.
Chen Shuozhen took a deep breath and said slowly:
"My husband, when I was traveling, I met a strange lame Taoist priest. He gave me a magical yin-yang fish jade pendant. This jade pendant has the ability to disguise one's identity."
"Later, I accidentally killed Shen Zhiqi, the son of the Jinling Shen family who was the only heir for nine generations. In order to avoid trouble, I used the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant to impersonate him."
After saying this, Chen Shuozhen took out the yin-yang fish jade pendant from her neck and rubbed it gently.
Soon, the jade pendant began to emit a faint blue light, surrounding her body. As she silently chanted a spell, a strange power began to surge in her body.
Cao Rui widened his eyes, and saw Chen Shuozhen's figure gradually blurring out. When it became clear again, he looked completely different.
Chen Shuozhen disappeared, and was replaced by a handsome stranger, whose voice became deeper:
"My husband, look, this is what I look like in disguise."
"..."
Cao Rui frowned and suddenly felt very panicked. Could it be that he had been deceived by a gay man?
So, a forced inspection was carried out.
After some checking, he found that although Chen Shuozhen looked like a man, she actually had no leverage, so he felt relieved.
Chen Shuozhen said helplessly:
"The Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant only makes me look like a man, but I am actually a woman. In order to cover this up, I even married four women who had received my kindness before as a cover."
"It's a pity that they are all gentle and kind beauties, but because of me, they bear the stigma of being infertile."
