NovelEnglish“Mother, mother, wake up! Wake up!” In a deep sleep, Hexi heard Little Egg’s call in her ears. When she opened her eyes, she felt that her head weighed a thousand pounds.
“*Sob!* Mom, what should I do? Little Golden Dragon and Little Cow have both fainted. That fat bird has also passed out. Mom can’t wake up either. Little Egg is so scared!”
Hexi furrowed her brows. She tried to sit up. However, she felt as if an invisible force had bound her entire body, leaving her completely immobilized.
She looked around and found that she seemed to be in an old mansion. The surroundings were still filled with the smell of dust and rotten wood.

Hexi’s memories slowly drifted back to not long ago.
When Hexi heard Old Lady Nangong’s voice in her bridal chamber, she immediately became wary.
Hexi even had the invisible needle in her hand, ready to strike. However, since Nangong Yu cared about his grandmother, she kept her wariness hidden. She just sat on the bed and looked at the old lady who walked in calmly.
However, what Hexi hadn’t expected caught her off guard. As soon as Lady Nangong entered the bridal chamber, she closed the door behind her. Without even a greeting, the mammy behind her immediately raised her hand. A mysterious smoke, seeming almost alive, shot straight toward Hexi on the bed.
Even with Hexi’s expertise in poisons, she felt dizzy when she caught a whiff of that mysterious smoke. Her body suddenly became weak and limp. She collapsed onto the bed.
The horror Hexi felt could not be described in words.
Hexi tried to mobilize her internal spiritual force, forcing the small amount of inhaled sedative into a corner of her meridians. Her mind immediately cleared. However, she still pretended to be unconscious, keeping her eyes shut and feigning collapse on the bed.
Old Lady Nangong’s voice came to her ears, “I heard that Xi Yue is proficient in poison. I didn’t expect that this smoke would be so powerful that even Xi Yue couldn’t resist it.”
A woman’s deep laughter echoed in the room, filled with mockery. “Expert in poisons? Only the trash from Miluo would praise such a young girl so highly. What does this kind of skill amount to in the face of my Lou family’s Soul Devouring Poison?”

With a complicated expression, Old Lady Nangong looked at Hexi and whispered, “Don’t blame me. If you must blame someone, it’s because you got in their way! Jingxue, do your part!”
Hexi felt a slight shiver in her heart. With her eyes slightly closed, she saw that the other old woman standing next to Old Lady Nangong slowly turned into Yun Jingxue.
Yun Jingxue looked very excited. Her gaze landed on Hexi. With the complement of the wedding dress, Hexi’s stunning face appeared even more alluring, delicate, and captivating.
The more Yun Jingxue gazed at Hexi, the more her heart burned with jealousy and hatred. She wanted to rush over and scratch Hexi’s face, which was many times more beautiful than hers.
However, Yun Jingxue couldn’t help her growing excitement, thinking that everything Xi Yue possessed would soon be hers. The handsome and outstanding Nangong Yu would become her husband. She would get everything from Xi Yue and replace Xi Yue.
She quickly exchanged her clothes for Xi Yue’s, donned the phoenix crown, and sat on the bed.
