Can the villain be coaxed today?

The inn was not far from the Lin family's mansion. Shen Yan and the two arrived quickly, but the bride in the front hall was still missing. They walked into the backyard with ease and went straight to the new house.

Sure enough, Zhao Yulian hid in it, sitting in front of the dressing table with tears in his eyes, staring at himself in the mirror, Shen Yan had some calculations in his heart, and didn't hide his tracks, he just turned over from the side window with Shi Bantang in his arms, When Zhao Yulian saw a stranger suddenly, he was naturally shocked, he got up suddenly and backed away, and said in panic, "Who are you?"

Shen Yan made a salute to her, and opened his mouth to come: "Poverty Dao is a Taoist priest who slays demons and exterminates demons on the mountain ten miles outside the city. He heard that the benefactor has a strong demon smell, and he fears a catastrophe, so he is here to help."

Zhao Yulian: "...Yes, is it?"

Shi Bantang fell from his arms, imitating the example and put up four fingers on his chest, "That's not it."

Zhao Yulian: "..."

This affirmation is not convincing. Shen Yan is okay. He is dressed in white, and his eyebrows and eyes are filled with the unique aura of decency. His shoulders were tilted to the body of the white-clothed Taoist beside him, and there were no bones in his body, which was really unflattering.

Zhao Yulian's eyes flickered slightly, and she took two steps back, "Thank you two priests... No need, the little girl's fate is weak, and she is born with a low life, just admit it... don't bother you two."

Shen Yan saw that the girl was very vigilant, and she didn't force it. It was true that anyone who was broken into a hiding place by a stranger through the window would not be trusted so easily. He nodded, and just said: "The benefactor is very If you want to accept your fate, we can't force it, but do you really accept your fate? Didn't someone take over your identity and change your fate on your own initiative?"

Zhao Yulian's face finally changed, "What does the Taoist priest mean?"

Shen Yan didn't panic at all, and solemnly tapped the knuckles of the other four fingers one by one with his thumb, as if doing divination, and finally let out an inscrutable "huh" and said: "You and that one are not twins, I'm not a compatriot either, they didn't meet each other at first, but now they are deeply entangled. I know that the benefactor is kind in nature and I don't want to harm her, but since the crime has been committed, someone must pay the price. You expect Brother Shi to uphold justice for you, but you don't Think about it, since your brother Shi and Princess Qinghui have hit it off, how could he ruin this grand wedding that could have gone smoothly for you? Not to mention your father and brother have locked you up for more than half a year, the choice should already be obvious Now, Pindao just doesn't want to see such unnatural behavior continue, but if the benefactor really doesn't want to, Pindao doesn't have much to say, so he will leave."

"You, what are you..." Zhao Yulian could no longer maintain his composure, clutching the hem of his clothes in a panic, Shen Yan turned to leave, but was interrupted by her, and turned back calmly: "The benefactor wants to ask the poor Daoist?" How can you know all the inside information, right? Don’t doubt it, we cultivators go up to spy on the secrets, go down to suppress ghosts, our magic power is boundless, and it will last forever... In short, I can help you, as long as you explain the ins and outs of the future to me clearly.”

"..."

After a long period of silence, Zhao Yulian slumped on the chair and murmured: "I don't know, I don't know how things turned out like this..."

There is a sister in the Zhao family, who studied poetry and books at the age of seven. She is famous for her talent and appearance. Her biological mother died young. She was brought up by her father and brother. Asking someone to take care of it, but to no avail, Zhao Yulian still embarked on the road to Beijing - this is the version of the story known to outsiders.

But the real foreshadowing will always be buried earlier than everyone predicted. Zhao Yulian has a palm-sized bronze mirror, which is a relic left to her by her mother. She has been with her since birth. After that, he gradually developed spiritual consciousness, and often talked with Zhao Yulian in an immature child's voice.When Zhao Yulian was five years old, her father discovered the secret of the bronze mirror. Since then, she was forced to separate from her and locked in the Zhao family's ancestral hall. Zhao's father believed that the mirror was an evil thing, which would affect others. With a young child's mind, Zhao Yulian was ordered not to visit it secretly. Miss Zhao was still young at that time and had a great forgetfulness. After crying for a while, she gradually forgot the existence of this bronze mirror.

Until the age of 12, the show girl election.

Her father and brother did not want her to enter the palace, and Zhao Yulian's heart belonged to brother Sishi who grew up together. The whole Zhao family ran around because of this matter, and their hair turned gray with worry. In the past years, there were many things that were easy to solve, but that year there was no way out. Zhao Yulian waited anxiously for the news every day. Finally, one day, her father brought a girl who looked exactly like her to her, and said calmly. Tell her it's done.

The girl looks exactly the same as her, and her behavior is not much different. Even her memory has been engraved completely. Even those close to her can hardly tell the truth from the fake. How can an ordinary lady in the boudoir see such a posture? Zhao Yulian's first reaction Not joy, but horror.She secretly kept an eye out, and found that her father would always take the girl to the ancestral hall in his spare time, and there was also a Taoist priest with a fairy-tale style inexplicably added to the family as a guest. Surrounded by a strange depression, Zhao Yulian often asked her father, but his father just told her that she would be fine soon, and when everything was resolved, the Zhao family would return to the way it was before.The more he said this, the more panicked Zhao Yulian became.She carried her father behind her back and sneaked into the small closed attic where the girl was hiding. As soon as she caught sight of her, the girl looked at her with eyes that were very similar to hers, and Zhao Yulian immediately refused to answer any questions. Came out and left in a hurry.

Although she left, the doubts in her heart did not disappear. Ms. Zhao has been stubborn since she was a child, and she often likes to break the casserole and ask the end. At the right time, she quietly followed behind them. It was this stalking that caused her a lot of shock. Then she fell seriously ill and lay in bed for half a month without recovering.

"What did you see?" Shi Wantang asked.

The two of them each found a chair and sat down. Shen Yan was worried that the wound on his foot would open, so he moved one of his feet to his knee very considerately. He said, and even handed over the peanuts for him to peel. Shen Yan lowered his head, and peeled the peanuts seriously and lovingly, which was very different from his confident appearance at the beginning.These two uninvited guests were sitting on the chairs and stools of someone else's new house, eating peanuts on someone's bed, and they were not at all uncomfortable. Zhao Yulian was so emotional that he was about to shed tears. Seeing this scene, he was stunned. Going back, "You two...are you really here to subdue demons?"

With this posture, anyone who says you are just eating and drinking will be believed.

Shen Yan took time out of the big event of peeling peanuts to glance at her, and said in a low voice: "Since Miss Zhao has been with her for five years, she still has some affection. We won't get rid of this demon today, as long as she She has never harmed anyone's heart, so I sent her to a place rich in spiritual energy to continue nurturing, hoping to regenerate her."

After saying this, Zhao Yulian's expression relaxed a bit, obviously Shen Yan said it to her heart, she only hated that mirror demon who had no grievances with her, but actually took her life, her lover, even the most The close family members are all on the other side, but they don't care about this real lady, which is even more chilling. But if they say that they want to take revenge on these people by extreme means, it is still not to such an extent. Naturally, it can be resolved peacefully. Peaceful settlement.

She said in a soothing voice: "The Taoist priest is really wise. I just mentioned Lingchun and I can think of it as a fake monster...Lingchun is the inscription on the bronze mirror. I called it that way when I was ignorant. Now it is over. After more than ten years, it's already unfamiliar to mention it again, and it's almost impossible to say it." She smiled shyly, Master Bantang chewed peanuts, and said thoughtfully: "So what you saw in the ancestral hall is That mirror demon?"

Zhao Yulian said: "To be exact, I saw that girl who was exactly like me turned into green smoke and floated into the mirror. I was only 12 years old at the time. How could I not be afraid to see such a scene? When I went back, I was even more scared." I was haunted by nightmares every night, and it took me half a month to drink the decoction before I recovered. After that, I found out that she had gone to Beijing on my behalf, and was appreciated by the Empress. However, she disappeared after she came back. I don’t know where my father hid her Yes, maybe it was back in the mirror. In the next three years, the Empress Empress went to Jiangnan for more than five times, and she always asked me to accompany her. I was not in good health, and I couldn’t tell the details of the imperial court. My father was worried that I would reveal my secrets. At this time, she will be called out and go out in my name. I am not a fool, so I naturally understand that this is not a long-term solution. My father promised me well, saying that it will only happen three times. After three times, no matter what. I can't let her show up, but I don't know why I suddenly regret it, not only let her show up, but also let her go north on my behalf-this is a big deal. During the two years she left, I never dared to step out of the house. The family was charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor, and it was clear that I was the real Zhao Yulian, but I had to hide and hide like a mouse crossing the street. I thought this was the most difficult thing, but I never thought that she would be the real Zhao Yulian after two years. Princess Hui returned with honor, and the attitude of my father and brother in the family changed immediately. From then on, I was locked in the room and I was not allowed to show up in front of the world. I was locked up like this for more than half a year. Except for a servant girl, I have no one outside. I have, until a few days ago, when a little girl who couldn't bear it told me that she was going to marry Brother Shi, I had never realized so deeply that she would really take away everything from me."

"I couldn't sit still any longer and begged to see my father, but they ignored me. I had no choice but to pin my last hope on Brother Shi. I had no choice but to pin my last hope on Elder Brother Shi. It was probably because of God's pity. There were some accidents on the way to see off my relatives. The clan elders who were supposed to sing praises accidentally fell into the water. My father was very angry. They were all called to help in the ancestral hall, and I got out of the dog hole by the courtyard wall by surprise, this is really my last chance."

Zhao Yulian sighed quietly, Shen Yan listened, the movement of peeling peanuts gradually slowed down, his eyelashes subconsciously lifted up, as if thinking about something out of focus, his brows frowned slightly when he thought of where he was focusing, and Shi Wan Tang originally stretched his hand halfway, and was about to pick up the peanuts he had peeled, but when he was serious, his face became more handsome, and small bubbles popped up in his heart, and he was stunned for a moment. , quietly touched his strong palm under the table.

"..." Shen Yan regained consciousness in an instant, looked up, Shi Wantang supported Xia Yi with one hand, his eyes were very pure and innocent, but the fingers under the table were scratching back and forth in his palm very restlessly , bent his eyes and smiled, where Zhao Yulian couldn't see, he mouthed silently: What's wrong?

Shen Yan didn't answer, instead he circled his troubled fingers into his palm with his backhand, and said to Zhao Yulian: "Wait a minute, I have a few questions."

"First, the route, carriage, and driver of the clan elder to the Lin family were all arranged by your father himself. The driver has been in this business for more than ten years, and he drove the car into the river... such a low-level mistake should really be wrong. It didn't rain that day, so this accident, didn't it come too far-fetched?"

"..."

"Secondly, the person who praised the ceremony fell into the water. Isn't the most important thing to do at this time is to invite another senior with high morals to ensure that the wedding will be held on time? What does it mean to call back the caravan? Your father has been the Zhao family for so many years. Patriarch, how can you not even understand these things?"

Shen Yan gathered the peeled peanuts and put them in Shi Wantang's palm, and immediately looked at Zhao Yulian, whose expression was blank, "The third and most important point is that after you call back the convoy, you What does father do to gather people in the ancestral hall? On this day of great joy, what does he go to the ancestral hall? Or... what is there in the ancestral hall? What does he want to do with the things in the ancestral hall?"

With such a point, Zhao Yulian finally realized suddenly, and her eyes widened immediately.

Shen Yan continued: "Maybe we all made a mistake. The one your father and brother want to get rid of is not you from the beginning to the end, but Lingchun."
