Chapter 740: Mobai, You’re Not Allowed to Eavesdrop!

At the mention of the Shen Family, Feng Tianlan closed her eyes. She could feel grief and indignation well up in her heart. However, she had no idea how to broach the topic.

Seeing her like this, Xi Lin knew that Feng Tianlan was struggling with what to say. Hence, she casually changed the subject. “Dai’er, feel free to tell me anything. The last time you sent me a letter feels like a dream to me. You merely advised me to convince my imperial brother not to marry Yunya, and you merely mentioned that a will hadn’t been left behind. However, you didn’t let me respond, and in the end, my imperial brother still fixed the wedding date. In a few days, they’ll be married.”

Regarding this matter, Xi Lin was also at a loss. Since she was young, it’d always been her hope that her imperial brother would marry Dai’er. Her feelings had never changed about this. But in the end, her brother was still going to marry Shen Yunya. This made her feel very conflicted.

“Back then, whenever I brought you up to him, he seemed swayed into marrying you, so I don’t understand why he changed his mind when he met Yunya. With the addition of the Empress Dowager’s decree, everything’s been set. I’m now powerless to do anything.”

As Xi Lin spoke, she realized that Feng Tianlan had remained silent all this time. She smiled casually. “So what if they’re getting married? I’ll help you steal the groom. You’re the imperial sister-in-law I want to have.”

When she heard Xi Lin’s words, she felt the heaviness in her heart dissipate. “Sister Lin, I’m engaged.”

Sister Lin was just like this. Just a few casual words from her could make her happy. This had always been the case ever since they were kids. Therefore, she believed that Sister Lin wasn’t the person who wanted her killed.

“Er…” Xi Lin subconsciously turned to look at Si Mobai, who was outside guarding the hall. “Him?”

Feng Tianlan nodded her head slightly. “It’s Mobai.”

Xi Lin exclaimed in surprise. “One is as frigid as an iceberg, and the other is as warm as a jade. Are you sure you’re not going to exchange him for someone else?”

The moment these words left her mouth, Xi Lin felt a surge of spiritual energy close in on her. She hastily dodged it, and the celadon flower vase right beside her instantly disintegrated.

“…” Xi Lin assessed the damage with a cursory glance. She involuntarily pursed her lips and muttered, “You decide for yourself. You decide for yourself.”

The Demon King was so fierce. Earlier, when she’d wanted to give Dai’er a hug, he had given a stern warning.

Feng Tianlan peered at Si Mobai’s erect back as he stood outside the hall. Her lips curled into a faint smile. “Mobai, you’re not allowed to eavesdrop.”

Si Mobai turned around and glanced at Feng Tianlan. Although he was unwilling to go, he still shifted away. But before he left, he didn’t neglect to throw Xi Lin a cold look as a warning.

“He’s very possessive of you. It’s a little scary.” Xi Lin was a little traumatized. If she wasn’t Dai’er’s friend, would he have killed her on the spot?

However, the high and mighty Demon King was actually helping them guard the door. He didn’t seem that frightening after all. Dai’er was really skilled at keeping her husband in line.

Feng Tianlan smiled faintly. “Mobai’s a really good person.”

“I don’t think so.” Xi Lin’s lips curled upward as she seemed to recall something. She hastily lifted her head to look at her. “Doesn’t the Demon King already have a consort? He was searching all over the continent. How come you’re only engaged to him? Did he deceive you?”

If that really were the case, then she would definitely convince her imperial brother to snatch Dai’er away from the Demon King. She wasn’t going to let Dai’er be wronged.

Feng Tianlan was a little bashful as she replied, “We’re engaged. But in public, he likes to call me his consort. He’s eager to let the whole world know that I belong to him.”

“But his consort is a devastating beauty. Even you would be overshadowed by her. What’s more, his consort is called Feng Tianlan, not Shen Qingdai. How could…” When Xi Lin saw that her expression had turned solemn again, she hastily rephrased her words. “In my heart, Dai’er will always be the most beautiful.”

“I am Feng Tianlan.”

Xi Lin was bewildered. “Ah?”

After Feng Tianlan recalled her previous life, she finally said, “Sister Lin, I’m dead. I died two years ago on the twelfth day of the fourth month.”
