The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 643 Strange
When Feng Wuxian had just been promoted to the "Gangsha" realm a few years ago, she came to Liangzhou to travel and look for a kind of evil spirit that she needed.

During this period, she met Shi Tianzong, and the two of them teamed up to eliminate a gang that believed in evil spirits, and they developed some tacit understanding.

Later, not long after Feng Wuxian returned to Ganzhou, Shi Tianzong asked his parents to go to the Feng family to propose marriage.

The Shi family is a powerful family. Even though their ancestors were once glorious and the mistress of the family is a daughter of an aristocratic family, they are still just a family of magical powers.

Feng Wuxian, as the daughter of Captain Jin Zhang of the Six Gates, is a good match for Shi Tianzong.

Therefore, except for Shi Tianzong's biological mother Sima Jinghui who had some complaints, the rest of the Shi family members were very supportive of this marriage, and they quickly sent someone to Ganzhou to propose marriage.

But who would have thought that Chief Constable Feng Daoyun would flatly refuse on the grounds that "the two are not compatible".

The Shi family was not shocked by the result, but Sima Jinghui was completely shocked.

In her eyes, her son is perfect in every way and should be matched with a lady from an aristocratic family!

It's an honor for me to have my eyes on your daughter, the Feng family. How dare you refuse?!
It can be said that the reason why Sima Jinghui fanned the flames of the rumors about Feng Wuxian this time was to vent the anger in his heart.

The reason why Feng Daoyun rejected the Shi family was precisely because of Shi Tianzong’s biological mother Sima Jinghui!

"According to the information my father has collected, Sima Jinghui is both stupid and evil.

"When she was young, she took pleasure in bullying the children of her clan's side branches, and she allowed her servants to embezzle and even exchange the cultivation resources of her clan's children.

"Because of her, the Sima family's side branch almost fell out. Even though they made amends later, many talented people still chose to leave the Sima family.

"For example, Cheng Zhi, the Southeast Divine Constable known as "Iron Hand," who was one of the Nine Divine Constables of the Six Gates, changed his name to his mother's surname to show that he had no connection with the Sima family any more.

"When Miss Jinghui was a little older, she was deceived many times by a handsome man with bad intentions. Not only did she give away her treasures and cultivation resources, but she even tried to secretly take a magic weapon out of the 'cave heaven'!
"But even so, the young lady did not receive a serious punishment, she was just confined to her house for a month.

"There are even more cases where they are jealous of other young ladies from aristocratic families, send people to snatch other people's fiancés, or even privately beat and kill young men and women from prominent and powerful families because of a minor quarrel...

“After my father found out about this, he declared that the Shi family would be wiped out sooner or later if they had such a woman, so he was determined not to marry me off.

“And I didn’t have a very deep feeling for Shi Tianzong. After hearing all this, I felt that this was not a good family, so I acquiesced to my father’s decision.

"I just met with Tian Zong in private and told him the reason."

Feng Wuxian told her everything she knew about Sima Jinghui, and added hesitantly at the end, "Sima Jinghui didn't restrain herself much after she married into the Shi family. As far as I know, she kept many male lovers outside..."

After hearing this, Zhao Chen felt that Captain Feng's words "stupid and bad" were indeed the most appropriate evaluation of Sima Jinghui.

but……

"Sima family actually let her do such a thing... Is her father the real person 'Dongxuan'?" Zhao Chen asked curiously. In Ma Guangming's memory, he only knew that Sima Jinghui was a legitimate daughter, but he didn't know more about her... After all, he had more enemies in the Sima family than just Sima Jinghui, and even Sima Jinghui was not the most profound one.

An illegitimate child is not qualified to be Miss Jinghui’s “toy”!
"Not only my father... Sima Jinghui's mother, brother, sister, and nephew are all 'Dongxuan' masters!
"Even her eldest brother has already cultivated into the 'Dharma Realm' and has one foot in the 'Ascending Mystery' realm."

So in such an elite family, there is only a "fool" like her? No wonder she is spoiled like this... Zhao Chen was shocked. You know, there are only ten "Dongxuan" masters in the Sima family, and this family alone accounts for half of them!

"In fact, there is another strange thing... that is, Sima Jinghui's eldest brother and eldest sister are more than 60 years older than her, and even her nephew is old enough to be her grandfather.

"Logically speaking, for a 'old girl' like her who was born with a 'silver spoon' and 'spoiled' by the whole family, even if she was a little absurd when she was young, she should receive strict training when she grows up...

"But her relatives have been letting her do whatever she wants. In the end, they seemed to accept her mediocrity and married her off to a wealthy family in Xiliang so that they could take care of her more easily."

Hearing Feng Wuxian's words, Zhao Chen's heart suddenly moved, because he felt somewhat familiar with this "plot".

Isn’t Ming Xueling’s enemy, Gu Changhe, also an “old man” who was constantly indulged by a certain “Shengxuan” True Lord among the casual cultivators and eventually became an “old man” who did all kinds of evil?

I don't know what the connection is...

But if there really is something fishy going on, then it would not be a good idea to rashly target Sima Jinghui... because she might be very important to the "Dongxuan" family!
Marrying close to someone may not be for the convenience of care, but for the convenience of surveillance.

It seems that we have to make a long-term plan... If we want to seize the Sima family's "Big Sun Lamp", there will probably only be one chance, so we can't be reckless.

The next step is to start by investigating the secrets of the five "Dongxuan"!
It would be better to discuss this matter with Ming Xueling. I think she will be very interested.

After making up his mind, Zhao Chen ended the communication and asked Feng Wuxian to return to "Bai Hua Pu" to rest temporarily in preparation for the "duel" in the evening. At the same time, he also divided his energy into "Xing Cha" and conveyed some information to Ming Hongyue and Feng Wan through the "contract".

After doing all this, Zhao Chen turned to Yan Hongxia, who had been watching quietly, and said with a smile: "Sister Hongxia, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... Do you want to go shopping together?"

Is this a date? Yan Hongxia's eyes showed joy, but she remained reserved on the surface and said, "Okay... I have been in Xiliang City for a few days, and I haven't really explored this city yet."

She paused and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to 'Daughter Spring' Park first."

According to rumors, it was the palace of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom more than 8,000 years ago, and it was also the location of the largest spring among the 81 springs that could make a woman pregnant out of thin air.

Of course, since the "Gan Shui Xian Spring" was moved into the "Dong Tian" by the Sima family, the palace is now just a tourist attraction and the spring water inside is no longer magical.

Hearing this, Yan Hongxia rolled her eyes at him, but a blush gradually appeared on her cheeks.

Zhao Chen found it strange, but soon realized that although the water of the "Daughter Spring" had long lost its magical power, due to the rumors about the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, it was still a holy place for ordinary people to "pray for children."
