Chapter 222 Doubting if I'm a Bird
Seeing that her mother-in-law hadn't noticed her and Lin Jinyue, Li Tingxue lowered her voice considerably, afraid that her mother-in-law would hear her.
"Don't tell me you're confused. To be honest, if I hadn't personally experienced these unbelievable things, I probably wouldn't believe it myself!"
Look at your cousin, all he did was lose his memory and turn into a bird. But compared to me, his ordeal is nothing! The suffering I endured was far more tragic!
At this point, Li Tingxue trembled, her eyes filled with deep fear, and continued, "I was once possessed by a hateful woman!"
That female ghost not only tried to possess my husband, but she even plotted to abandon my own daughter! Can you imagine the pain and despair I felt?
Lin Jinyue: "...?"
Lin Jinyue's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she stammered, "You...you're not kidding me, are you?! How could such a thing happen?!"
"Possession? Someone actually possessed you?!" Lin Jinyue almost exclaimed in surprise, then saw Jiang Mianmian next to her and quickly covered her mouth, afraid of disturbing Jiang Mianmian and being discovered.
Li Tingxue nodded heavily, her expression solemn, and said, "That's right, it's absolutely true, I was possessed. And do you know what? Actually, before me, someone else had already been targeted by this scheme, and I only found out after I was possessed."
It turns out that before me, there were others who had been possessed for many years. As for who exactly they were, I cannot tell you.
But I just want to tell you that everything I've said is absolutely true; it's all factually true! Therefore, you must be extra careful around that woman from now on, and don't let your guard down, understand?
What Li Tingxue really wanted to say was that she absolutely must not go against the female lead, otherwise her fate as cannon fodder might be sealed forever.
Lin Jinyue was already stunned, standing there as if petrified, thinking to herself, "Oh my god! Where am I? Should I not have gone out today?!"
It's too scary outside, baby wants to go home!
ah ah ah...
She witnessed the terror of the female lead today!
Li Tingxue gently patted her chest, and said in a low voice with lingering fear, "Oh dear, but to be honest, I'm so glad!"
Luckily, my mother-in-law suddenly awakened a cheat code, gaining a mysterious and powerful superpower! Otherwise, hehe, you probably wouldn't be meeting me today!
She paused briefly, then continued, "And you probably can't imagine, it wasn't just me who got into trouble this time, my precious daughter almost got into trouble too!"
Yes, I had a lovely little daughter, you probably already know that, right?
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyue simply nodded blankly.
However, Li Tingxue did not seem to notice Lin Jinyue's reaction and continued to talk to herself: "Oh my, can you guess?"
My daughter has become one of those "real and fake heiresses" from storybooks, and what's worse, she's a tragic cannon fodder character...
Li Tingxue's incessant chatter reached Lin Jinyue's ears, and Lin Jinyue pondered to herself:
"Tsk tsk tsk... If I hadn't seen the token in Qin Ru's hand with my own eyes before, I would have thought that Li Tingxue was just making up a story for herself."
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, Lin Jinyue snapped back to reality and hurriedly asked in a low voice:
"Oh, by the way, Tingxue. What's the background of that animal named Situ Wenqi that your mother-in-law mentioned earlier? It sounds so familiar."
"Situ Wenqi, you didn't know?"
When asked, Lin Jinyue frowned, thinking hard, and slowly replied, "Should I know him? I just feel like I recognize him, but I really can't remember who he is right now."
Seeing that she really had no recollection of him, Li Tingxue kindly explained, "Him? He's the legendary Ninth Prince who never married or had children after his fiancée died!"
The current emperor's youngest younger brother—Situ Wenqi.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyue exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Ah! So it was him!"
Li Tingxue smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes, that's him!"
"Hehe... But your little brother will be able to meet him today, so the two of them can keep each other company."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyue's lips twitched involuntarily. She thought to herself that if her cousin knew about this, he would definitely make a huge scene and refuse this so-called companion.
Yes, this Xiao Luan didn't see this meeting as a good opportunity at all, and didn't need any partners.

In the garden of the Marquis of Xuanhua's residence.
Just then, Xiao Luan spotted Situ Wenqi's dog in the distance, and a strange feeling immediately arose in her heart.
Before it could react, the dog suddenly barked at it, "Woof woof woof..."
He screamed several times. The sudden fright startled Xiao Luan, and in his panic, he almost bumped his head against the pillar of the iron cage.
Just then, it heard the dog opposite it suddenly speak to it, its voice carrying a hint of mockery and sarcasm:
Oh wow, so you're my next one!
Then, the dog let out a series of sarcastic laughs, "Oh, oh, oh, how pitiful!"
I heard you were rescued, but you stubbornly refuse to believe you were originally human; instead, you think you're a bird.
[Tsk tsk tsk, why did you have to become a bird instead of a perfectly normal person? I really don't know what's going on in your head!]
Little Luan was stunned. It frantically flapped its tiny wings, trying to maintain its balance, and clung tightly to the railing in front of it to avoid falling due to panic.
It stammered at the dog, "You...you...you dog...you can actually become a spirit?"
"Oh, I see. So you were also captured by those two despicable women, right?"
After saying that, it angrily looked around. Although it did not see the two women, the anger in its heart burned brighter and brighter, and it still wanted to vent its anger.
So it gritted its teeth and cursed, "Those two damned women must be out of their minds! I'm living comfortably by my master's side, and they're just being nosy!"
Why did they have to bring me to this godforsaken place?
Do they really think they can act with impunity and do whatever they want just because they have power and influence? Hmph! I will absolutely not yield to them!
As she spoke, Xiao Luan glared fiercely at the distance, her eyes filled with defiance and resentment.
At the same time, Xiao Luan's little eyes looked at Situ Wenqi, who was also trapped beside it. It saw that Situ Wenqi was not bound by ropes like it was and could move relatively freely.
Then, a bold idea popped into her head—she decided to help Situ Wenqi escape from the Marquis's mansion and also help him break free from the control of those two wicked women.
If possible, he would even like the dog to go and inform its owner that it was currently in the Marquis's mansion and that it wanted the dog to get its owner to come and rescue it as soon as possible.
Situ Wenqi sat quietly on the ground, silently raising his head, his eyes fixed on the chirping bird above. He felt as if he were looking at a fool.
"Sigh..." Situ Wenqi couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking to himself, "How can this little guy be so 'naive'! He's just too simple-minded..."
He couldn't help but begin to doubt Su Qianqian's true purpose in choosing this bird as her companion.
Could it be that the reason she took a liking to this bird was because she saw its simple-mindedness and gullibility, making it easy to fool?
Situ Wenqi was highly skeptical of this. He knew that someone as intelligent as him would immediately turn and run away once he sensed that the situation was not good.
But now, looking at this "silly bird classmate" in front of us...
I really don't dare to say it anymore.
[You've already seen your cousin, so why do you still stubbornly insist that you're a bird?]
If you were truly a bird, take a close look at your fellow birds. Which one of them is as intelligent as you? Don't you realize the significant differences between you and those other birds?
Just like it, after he had more contact with Xiao Wang's golden retriever, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Undeniably, that golden retriever was quite clever, but it was still a bit of a shame that it couldn't communicate with humans.
That's absolutely right!
Absolutely right.
Thinking back to the times Su Qianqian used to take it out for walks, it seemed to be playing enthusiastically and happily with other dogs.
In reality, it has no way to communicate with its companions.
At the time, it didn't think much of it and even naively believed that it had cultivated itself into a spirit!
This frees them from that so-called "interest" and makes them no longer the same as ordinary animals, which is why they find it difficult to understand and communicate with each other.
But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that there is another reason – ultimately, it lies in the fact that they are fundamentally different!
One is a real dog, and the other is a person.
Little Luan tilted her head slightly: [What's the difference? Aren't we all birds?]
