Chapter 168 The New Lord of You City

She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Miss, I see you are a kind person. Let me tell you the truth! I dare not leave here. As soon as I leave here, there will be hooligans following me...Miss, please Please help me!"

I haven't seen Ye Chen at this time, but it's the time when the robbers hiding in the Land of Long Howls are at their most rampant.As soon as she said that, I thought of those robbers.

Because my father dotes on me, my temper is as wild as a boy.And because she is a girl, she looks down on those ghosts who bully girls even more.

After listening to her words, I immediately felt a sense of justice spreading in my body.

At this time, the girl said again: "Miss, please take me in! I was originally a first-class maid in the Xiangfu in the world, and I can do everything! It doesn't matter if you don't give me monthly money! As long as you are willing to take me in!"

There used to be a big maid in my room, because she felt that she would have no future with me, she wanted to climb into my father's bed and become a concubine.

After being discovered by my father, he was directly beaten to death in public, to make an example to others.Afterwards, Dad even helped me clean up the girls in the room.

Now because I haven't found a maid who can let him take care of me at ease, as the eldest lady of a first-class family, I really lack two personal maids in my room.

When she said that, my heart was moved when I was silly and sweet.

"Are you really willing to be my maid? Is it okay without monthly money?" I asked.

The girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah! As long as the lady is willing to take me in! I am willing to do anything!"

"Then you wait, I'll talk to my dad!" I rushed into the Samsara Department like flying, and found my dad who was working, and finally agreed.

I went out happily, told the good news to the maid, and asked at the same time, "What's your name?"

"My name is Bilian." The girl raised her head, her eyes were full of maturity and shrewdness that didn't match her age.

There was a cold snort from behind, and my father walked out of the Samsara Department with a sulky face, and taught the girl a lesson: "Since you have sold yourself, how dare you call yourself 'I'?"

Fear flashed across Bilian's face, she quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Your servant is wrong!"

My father snorted again, and threw a piece of paper in front of Bilian: "This is a life-and-death slave contract, sign it, and you will be the ghost of my Lu family. As for what you told Yaoyao, you don't need monthly money." , my Lu family is not the kind of family that wantonly exploits ghosts. As long as you take good care of the eldest lady, the benefits will be indispensable to you!"

Bilian had seen the life-and-death slave contract, and signed it without any hesitation, and vowed to my father that he would take good care of me.

The Bilian who was just brought back was just the lowest maidservant in the mansion, but she could come and go, and soon became my first-class maidservant.

After that, no matter where I go, there is her share.Sometimes I take her by myself, and sometimes she wants to go by herself.

I remember that after I was with Ye Chen, she kept following me to find Ye Chen.Ye Chen disliked her as a light bulb, and would always dismiss her.

now……

My thoughts were pulled out from the memory of the past, and I watched the extremely jealous eyes gradually overlap with the eyes deep in my memory.

I sighed involuntarily, and called softly, "Bilian."

"The servant is here." Little Bilian from the City Lord's Mansion hurriedly responded.

I shook my head: "I'm not calling you." Then I looked straight at the impostor who fell on the ground, "Bilian, long time no see."

The impostor was surprised: "You... how do you know..."

"Because of your eyes." I said, "In my previous life, I was protected by my father at home and Ye Chen when I went out. Although I often rode horses outside, I was actually no different from those young ladies who were raised in boudoir .”

I said with some self-deprecation, "I don't understand the treachery of human beings, and I can't see that the ghosts around me have any small plans. In addition, I am a lazy person, and I am not happy to think about those twists and turns, so In your eyes, I'm a fool."

"But in this life, I am Xia Sheng. Because my parents were not around since I was a child, I have seen too many ugliness. Your eyes just now are exactly the same as the eyes you saw when you saw me at the gate of the Reincarnation Department for the first time. No, the jealousy inside is even deeper."

Bilian was shocked.

In my previous life, I grew up protected by my father in the palm of my hand.I can't understand the envy in other people's eyes, and I can't understand why Bi Lian still has hatred in her eyes even though she just saw me for the first time.

Now, I understand.

Because of my birth, many ghosts envy me.Too much envy becomes jealousy.Too much jealousy turns into hatred.

Hating someone is easy for some people without even having a grudge.

I kept such a ghost who hated me because of jealousy by my side for thousands of years, and I was really stupid.

Yechen hugged me, with relief in his eyes.I smiled at him: "I'm fine, just a girl."

A girl that I have never been a servant in all these years.

"I helped you deal with her." Ye Chen took the initiative because he was afraid that I wouldn't have the heart to do it.

I shook my head: "No need, I'll do it."

"Miss..." Bilian exclaimed.

I glanced at her, the blood on her face should be the blood of her descendants.Daddy is a cautious ghost. On the day I returned to Youcheng as Bilian, I sent a ghost to check her background.

She was the son of the prime minister's mansion, and died of dystocia and hemorrhage.Although she died, the child was born.The child's father is the prime minister, an old man in his early 50s.

As for her dystocia, it was also arranged by the prime minister's wife.

My father wanted to kick Bilian out at the time, but he was afraid that I would be sad, so he held back, planning to wait until Bilian made a mistake before kicking him out, so that I could give up.

However, I don't know if there is a lesson learned from the last time. During those years at Lu's house, Bilian has always been very peaceful.

At that time, the relationship between the various families was not good. I was a straight person, and I couldn't get along with those pretentious ladies of the family.But, it's difficult for Yinling heirs, and there are not many ladies in the family, so I always meet them sometimes.

They would form a group to bully me, and I would teach them a lesson with a whip.But they have a lot of ghosts, so although I won't be at a disadvantage, I still won't be able to please them.

And these female ghosts will say that I was the first to speak out.

Later, Bilian taught me to BB with people first, and when they BB couldn't beat me, they would fight first.We are acting in self-defense, so we take advantage of it.

In those years, I knew that Bilian wanted to climb up.She didn't cheat me too much, so I didn't care about her small thoughts.

After all, who wants to be a slave to ghosts for a lifetime.

Now, in order to pretend to be me, she killed her offspring.

"The child you gave birth to desperately, even if it is far away from you now, it is still your descendant. How can you do it?" I asked.

Bilian was surprised: "How do you know..."

"I found that book in the library, and we were the only ones who read it. I didn't think about it before, so I couldn't tell Ye Chen that you used some magic to pretend to be my face." I said.

It was a very biased spell book, and it contained some tasteless spells, such as changing faces.

The method described above can not only change one's appearance, but also prevent people from seeing that it was synthesized later.

It's just that that method is too vicious.Every spell above is very vicious.Although I am a ghost, I feel horrified by the viciousness of the above, so I asked Bi Lian to destroy the book, so as not to save people and ghosts.

Now it seems that Bilian should have kept the book privately.

It is written in the book: After blending the bones of your parents with your own bones and flesh, then add the personal items you want to become that person, and cast spells with the formation method given in the book, you can change your appearance. become like that person.

She is my personal maid, so it is easy to get my things.

The Prime Minister's Mansion later fell into disrepair, but Bilian's son held up the sky from it.That was a conscientious person, he removed Bilian's parents from slavery, and even buried them properly after death.

It was not difficult for Bilian to find her parents' bones.

And she has been a ghost for many years, even if she can find her grave, there are only bones left.Therefore, she used the blood and bones of her descendants.

It's just that if you don't use your own flesh and bones, you must kill the offspring in an extremely cruel way, and trap the grievances of the offspring in his bones, so that the effect of the disguise formation can be better exerted.

Bilian's face was hidden from Yechen at the beginning, presumably by killing all the descendants who were alive at that time.

Hearing what I said, Bilian smiled viciously: "A child who was born desperately? Yes! I gave birth to him desperately! Without me, there would be no him! Now I want to take back the lives of him and his child, why not?" !"

"Life and death are fates, you can't control them." Ye Chen said coldly.

"Fate? You were born to be young masters and young ladies, and I was a slave? It's fate if it's unfair?" Bilian asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Ye Chen remained expressionless, "Life is never fair."

Ye Chen didn't refute her, but Bi Lian was surprised.

"If there is absolute fairness, what do you need Yinji for? Let me tell you, the only thing that is fair is that you came into this world just like everyone else. That's all." Ye Chen said even more indifferently.

Bilian was speechless.

"You gave him his life, but you don't have the right to take it back." Ye Chen's face darkened as he spoke, as if recalling some bad past.

I gently tugged at his hand.He responded to me with a tight grip, turning his head slightly to me and bending the corners of his mouth slightly.

I knew he wanted to say that he was fine, but his forced smile made me feel unspeakably sad.

In order to prevent him from thinking about those bad things again, I said, "Bilian...just deal with it according to the family rules."

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

I looked at Xiao Bilian: "What was your original name?"

Little Bilian looked at me in confusion: "My servant is called Bilian..." She caught a glimpse of Bilian who was lying on the side, and felt that it was inappropriate to say so, so she hurriedly added: "My servant doesn't know about her... no I know there is another Bilian..."

"I know, you won't be involved in her affairs. You can use your own name again. What was your original name?"

Little Bilian timidly shook her head, and a familiar voice came from outside the house: "Since she is the maid prepared for you, let Shengsheng give her a name."

Wen Rentan walked in with a smile on his face. The maid was surprised when she saw him, and hurriedly bowed her knees and said, "I've seen the city lord!"

Wen Rentan is actually the new Lord of Youcheng!
I was taken aback, and he smiled at me: "I have received the news from the elders' association. Shengsheng, if you want Youcheng, I will give it to you! It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Let's get married tonight." !you……"

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen interrupted him with an angry reprimand.

Wen Rentan showed dissatisfaction on his face, and still did not forget to sow discord: "Yechen, what are you doing to me? Shengsheng said it herself! She wants Youcheng! It's Youcheng, not the land of Changxiao!" Xi emphasized, "As long as Shengsheng becomes the wife of the city lord, of course Youcheng will belong to her! I'm here to fulfill Shengsheng's wish!"

"Excessive words!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, "I think you're asking for a beating!"

He stretched out his hand and was about to summon the long sword, but I quickly stopped him: "Don't hit!"

Ye Chen was dissatisfied, Wen Rentan fanned the flames: "Sheng Sheng still loves me!"

"Enough is enough for you!" I also yelled at him with a hippie smile.

Wen Rentan immediately put on an aggrieved expression, and Ye Chen's complexion got better.

"Why are you the new Lord of Youcheng?" I asked Wen Rentan.

I remember asking Ye Chen's identity before, and he said that Wen Rentan was just a casual cultivator with profound magic power.

Ye Chen has just returned to the underworld, but he also has his own intelligence network.Wen Rentan, the lord of New You City, has hidden all the ghosts.

With his flamboyant temperament, there must be something hidden in this.Moreover, he obviously didn't join the Lu family's army, so how could he be so familiar with everything about Lu's family?
Listening to what I said, a complex look flashed in Wen Rentan's eyes.He struggled a bit, and said to me: "Shengsheng, I want to tell you this matter alone."

I was about to agree, but Ye Chen refused first: "No."

"Yechen..."

"Shengsheng, since he was able to hide the truth from all the lords of the underworld, it proves that he is not what he appears on the surface. If you stay alone with him, I don't worry about your safety." Ye Chen explained.

I understand his mood, but it's even better to hear what Ren Tan wants to say to me.

Just as he was about to reassure him that nothing would happen, Wen Rentan sneered: "Yechen, I'm different from you. I dare to swear to God, from the beginning to the end, I'm completely sincere to Shengsheng!" His The smile gradually climbed up a bit ferocious, "What about you?"

"I'm also sincere to Shengsheng!" Ye Chen emphasized without any doubt.

The struggling smile on Wen Rentan's face was full of sarcasm: "From the beginning to the end?"

Ye Chen's expression froze for a moment.

"What's there to say!" I interrupted Wen Rentan in confusion and dissatisfaction, "Yechen didn't know I was Luyao at first, and just wanted to feed me to Luyao, it's not like you don't know, why bother to take me This forced him?"

"Shengsheng, that's not what I said!" Wen Rentan's tone was unusually anxious.

I was even more puzzled: "What is that?"

"It was when you were still Luyao!"

I was taken aback: "Didn't I date Yechen when I was still Luyao?"

Now that I think about how foolishly I accepted Ye Chen's marriage contract, I still feel stupid.

When I was in the human world in this life, I always bullied Qin Yechen, it seems that it was the retribution of Yechen's previous life.

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but raise, and Wen Rentan was even more angry: "Shengsheng, he planned to approach you from the very beginning!"

"I know." I didn't care.Wasn't Yechen just trying to keep Luyao's mana from the beginning?

Seeing that I didn't take it seriously, Wen Rentan was even more anxious.

I caught a glimpse of Bi Lian who was about to escape while taking the opportunity, and hurriedly took Ye Chen's hand.He understood, and a cloud of Yin Qi hit him, Bi Lian screamed, and her body became mostly transparent.

It seems that Ye Chen poured all his anger towards Wen Ren Tan on Bi Lian.

Only then did Wen Rentan remember that there were two Bilians, one big and one big, in the room: "Shengsheng, I'll help you deal with the food that's been eaten inside and out! You say it's according to the family rules, right? I'll send a ghost right now!"

He was about to call a ghost, but Ye Chen interrupted him unhappily: "Sheng Sheng is now a member of the Ye family, so the house rules she said are of course my Ye family's house rules! If that's the case, it's not up to you to do it!"

Wen Rentan immediately retorted: "It's a joke! You don't have a wedding, you don't have a dowry, and you don't carry a sedan chair, so you want to put Shengsheng in the Ye family?"

"The wedding is being prepared; the dowry is in the warehouse of Changxiao Mansion; eight palanquins? What is that? I prepared sixteen for Shengsheng!" Ye Chen sneered, his little expression was like a child's vindictiveness.

Wen Rentan didn't dare to lag behind: "Then you have to wait until you finish all these things before Shengsheng can barely be considered yours! Not now! Come on ghost! Why don't you come! Are you all alive!"

Under Wen Rentan's anger, a group of guards finally rushed in.

Just about to greet him, Wen Rentan stopped him, pointed at Bilian and said, "Drag this traitorous thing down to deal with it!"

The guards took orders and were about to pull Bilian down when a sharp wind blade swung forward and hit Bilian.

With a muffled sound, Bi Lian turned her head in despair, and looked at Ye Chen with a drop of blood and tears: "Why... I... so... like you..."

Ye Chen didn't even bother to look at her: "You harmed Sheng Sheng and pretended to be Yaoyao, why else?"

Bilian's eyes widened, as if the eyeballs were about to pop out of her eye sockets, and in the extreme unwillingness, her body gradually became transparent and disappeared.

People will die without peace, and so will ghosts.Billy is like that.

I sighed, feeling a little flustered.

When I went to play with Yechen before, Bilian liked to follow me.I thought she was really as eager to protect the Lord as she said, but now that I think about it, she just wanted to use me to get in touch with Ye Chen more.

I have never thought about this aspect. In my cognition, what is mine is mine, and no one can take it away.

Yechen, on the other hand, has always been cold towards Bilian, and often told me not to bring Bilian out again.Presumably he noticed that girl's mind was impure at that time.

Wen Rentan complained to Ye Chen: "Sheng Sheng is clearly handed over to me, why are you messing around?"

"Shengsheng didn't say I'd handle it for you! I'm her husband, and I should be responsible for everything about her." Ye Chen ignored Wen Rentan as he spoke, and walked forward with me.

"Shengsheng, don't go!" Wen Rentan immediately chased him out.

"Do you want Shengsheng to be your son's stepmother?" With just this one sentence, Ye Chen blocked all Wen Rentan's remaining words.

After such a fuss, I didn't realize until I returned to Changxiao Mansion that I still had something to ask Wen Rentan.

But that guy didn't follow up, and Ye Chen's expression was not good, so I didn't propose to turn back.

Seeing us coming back, the flowers came out to welcome us, and reported to me in surprise: "Madam, your money tree has sprouted!"

"Really?" The news swept through the sadness in my heart like a breeze.

I ran into the room excitedly, and saw on the small table by the window, in the steaming hell magma, a green leaf bud no bigger than the size of a thumb was floating on the magma that would never solidify.

I reached out and touched it lightly. The leaves were cool, not at all like the hot magma.

"Ye Chen! Ye Chen! Come here! It's sprouting! It's about to get rich!" I excitedly greeted the ghost standing at the door and looking at me.

He walked over slowly, responded lightly, and patted my head again.

"How long do you think it will grow fruit?" I asked him excitedly.

"There is no definite number. Don't worry, we can always wait." Ye Chen said.

I nod.After all, it germinates so quickly, maybe when I wake up one night, this money tree will grow up, and it will be covered with gold.

The more I thought about it, the happier I was, and I couldn't help laughing.Ye Chen suddenly hugged me into his arms.

Only then did I notice that he had been taciturn since he came back from Youcheng.

"What's wrong?" I hugged him back puzzled.

He buried his head in the hollow of my shoulder, it was cold and itchy, but he was not courting as usual.

"Yechen, what's the matter?" He is not usually a talkative person, but at this moment I can clearly feel the uneasiness in his heart.

"Don't leave me." He said abruptly.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason, and I smiled and said: "Of course I won't leave you! There are so many good things in the warehouse of Changxiao Mansion, you said you would give them to me. If I leave, you won't give them to me." what to do?"

"You can take things away..." Ye Chen said in a low voice, I don't know if it was my hallucination, but there was a bit of unreal lack of confidence in that voice.

"If I pack everything away, I will definitely take you with me! You are the most valuable here!"

Yechen was amused by my words, let out a chuckle, and pecked my cheek heavily: "Shengsheng, you are so kind."

"Of course I'm good!" I don't know why he suddenly praised me, but I smiled proudly when he praised me.

Ye Chen's kiss spread from his cheek to his lips, and the door and window of the bedroom were closed with his magic power. It looked like he was about to do something embarrassing...

A few days later, Ye Chen went out to run some errands, and Wen Ren Tan quietly walked in.

"Shengsheng?" He smiled meanly at me, handed a box inlaid with rubies to the table in front of me, and looked at me flatteringly, "Here you are."

The shiny gems kept seducing me, but I was a man of integrity, so I sternly refused: "Don't!"
