Ruan Li suddenly became excited. Yue Man was playing the Phoenix Man in the fantasy. If she could understand it, wouldn't it mean that the Phoenix Man could also understand the Yi people's writing?

Then these letters are most likely written by him himself!
"Quickly, look what's written on it?"

Yue Man also reacted. Although she didn't quite understand the importance of this text, looking at Ruan Li's excitement, she probably found the key clue.

She glanced at the words on the letter. Although the letter was densely written, there were actually only two sentences. Moreover, it seemed that the handwriting was divided into two people, and the reply was also on the same page.

“The fish is hooked and needs to be fattened, and the promise is broken—seize the opportunity and make it happen as quickly as possible.”

Pick up another letter——

"Shen Don't allow it, you're at a deadlock - use tricks, someone will help you."

"It's going well, the wedding date has been set - don't act rashly."

"No one raises any suspicion. The Shen Mansion is already in the palm of your hand - just wait for the opportunity."

"The plan is feasible, come quickly - start immediately."

After Yue Man finished reading, he still felt like he was seeing flowers in the fog, and looked at Ruan Li inquiringly.

Seek to explain.

Ruan Li clicked on the first letter, "The fish here should be talking about Miss Shen. If this letter is written by Phoenix Man, it means that his acquaintance with Miss Shen was a conspiracy from the beginning. He has a plan, and this conspiracy is related to The Yi people are still related.”

He didn't really like Miss Shen at all, that's why the whole mess happened with his cousin, everything was a trap for Miss Shen.

Yue Man suddenly understood and continued, "The person in the second letter, Shen, should be talking about Member Shen? He wanted to marry Miss Shen, but Member Shen did not agree.

"Later, I talked about using tactics. What kind of tactics were used?"

In the flash of lightning, Ruan Li thought of the prescription she had found before and Yuan Shen's sudden illness, and suddenly understood the key.

"Commander Shen was killed, most likely poisoned. The prescription is the evidence."

Yue Man slowly opened her mouth, "So this man poisoned Mr. Shen to death in order to marry Miss Shen?"

This is not Phoenix Man, this is a beast!

Ruan Li nodded and added, "After getting married to Miss Shen, this man quickly took all the power into his own hands and completely ignored Miss Shen. Miss Shen was not even allowed to go out for a walk on weekdays. His purpose was to destroy Shen." Mansion."

It should be said that controlling the Shen Mansion was part of his and the Yi tribe's plan.

Yue Man frowned, "Where is the last letter? What does this plan mean? What does coming quickly mean? He has already obtained the Shen Mansion. What else?"

Ruan Li looked at her silently, "This letter has the latest handwriting. It should be the most recent one. The businessman you met today should be the one sent by the Yi tribe to meet Phoenix Man."

Yue Man thought of the businessman he met today. His accent was indeed a bit lame, and he suddenly felt bad, "What on earth do he and the Yi people want to do?"

"Using the horse purchase as an opportunity to open the city gate."

Ruan Li's eyes darkened, "The Yi people are warlike and plundering. They want more than just a Shen mansion. They are coming for this city. The Phoenix Man first climbed onto Miss Shen's high branch, and then gradually took control of it. He took over the entire Shen Mansion and used his power to create opportunities for the Yi people to break into the city without spending a single soldier." Phoenix Man is an insider and a traitor. He left these letters to leave a way out for himself, but I don’t know if this fallback method worked, and the Yi people probably weren’t the type to keep their promises.

Ruan Li thought of the letter that the old nanny asked her to give to Miss Shen. That letter might have contained content that could expose the Phoenix Man's mask, but it was not seen by Miss Shen in the end.

This is Miss Shen's fantasy. Ruan Li's ability to find these things proves that Miss Shen also discovered it. How did she feel and react after discovering the truth?
Yue Man's back felt cold, "But...then what?"

What did those Yi people do?
Before she finished speaking, bursts of crying and howling suddenly sounded outside. The two looked at each other and rushed out.

The fire was soaring into the sky, and the diffuse smoke almost formed a barrier, but outside this barrier were the cries and screams of countless people. These sounds were made by people when they were dying, and they revealed a deep sense of despair. and resentment.

There is no need to answer Yue Man's question.

What happened next? ——Slaughter the city.

The city gates were opened wide, and the Yi people entered the city openly, burned, killed, looted, and massacred the entire city just like they had done in the past.

Knowing the truth, how much hatred and resentment would Miss Shen feel at the moment she saw this scene?She trusted the wrong person, married the wrong person, killed her father, destroyed a city, and killed countless people.

Yue Man's voice trembled: "This stone city...is this how it came to be?"

This city may have fallen into a secret realm unknowingly. There are many auras and opportunities in the secret realm. Miss Shen probably accidentally obtained her own opportunity when she was about to die, so she could not become a ghost after death. With too much resentment, she created an illusion in which all her people and relatives became stone statues, immortal and immortal.

The smell of death was getting heavier and heavier, and a strong smell of blood lingered in their noses. However, Ruan Li and Yue Man could do nothing but watch the massacre take place and subside.

The moment the last cry disappeared, the scene in front of him changed and changed. What he stepped on was no longer charred rubble, and the smell of blood was no longer lingering in his nose, but a faint scent of incense.

Yue Man opened her eyes and saw Ruan Li, who was wearing the same wedding dress as herself, with a red hijab and a red wedding dress.

"Are we back to the day we got married?"

She was a little confused. She had not yet recovered from the suffocating feeling filled with firelight a moment ago, and she didn't understand what Miss Shen meant.

Ruan Li lifted her hijab, walked slowly to the dressing table, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror for a while. Her facial features in the blurred mirror image were a little hazy, and gradually became a little less like her.

She picked up the wedding scale that was placed in front of the dressing table. The scale pole was made of ebony wood with copper heads and hollow patterns carved on it. It was triangular in shape and slightly pointed at the top.

Yue Man walked towards her, "What should we do now?"

Ruan Li looked at her and sighed softly, "I'm sorry..."

Her voice was so soft that Yue Man didn't react and said in confusion, "Wha——"

The words suddenly stopped. Yue Man slowly lowered his head and saw that the tip of the scale had penetrated deeply into his body, turning the scales into a blood-stained red.

This is Miss Shen's wish, to go back to the day when the mistake happened, the day when they got married, and kill her sweetheart with her own hands.

This is the beginning of the illusion, and it is the limit of Miss Shen's ability to reverse time and space. If she can, she may be more willing to go back to the day she met the man and continue to be Mr. Shen's most beloved daughter for the rest of her life.
