All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Xiao Rujun hadn’t seen Yuling for quite some time, and she was somewhat surprised upon seeing her this time.

She took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to go to the riverbank and meet Yuling, intending to ask her what was going on.

"I’m really not a fox spirit," Yuling said.

Xiao Rujun was silent. Seeing Yuling’s current appearance, she found it difficult to accuse her of being a fox spirit. Her looks were still pretty, but only because of her youth, and the fatigue on her face couldn’t be hidden.

"Then what are you?" Xiao Rujun still asked.

Yuling replied, "I was originally Immortal Herbs in the heavens. Only because I admired my husband did I become his wife. To be with my husband for a long time, I gave up immortal power and became an ordinary mortal."

"Miss Xiao, only when two people mutually like each other can they be together. If only you like someone and the other person doesn’t, it won’t end well. I hope you understand."

"So, you lost your immortal power, and that’s why you’ve become like this?"

Yuling looked up and smiled slightly, "What have I become? Is this not just the plain days of a mortal life? It seems Miss Xiao doesn’t like this kind of life. But marrying my husband means living these days. You and my husband are on separate paths, so there’s no need to waste your time here."

Xiao Rujun didn’t know how she left. After thinking for a few days, she still hadn’t completely cut ties with the Jiaang Family and would occasionally visit to observe Yuling’s life there.

About ten days later, Xiao Rujun stopped appearing.

The next time Yuling heard about Xiao Rujun was when Jiaang Qingfeng complained at the dinner table, "It’s all your fault. If not for you, Sister Rujun would be my sister-in-law by now. But now, she’s engaged out of heartbreak, and it will never be possible with my brother."

Unexpectedly, Jiaang Zirong overheard and asked, "Sister, are you saying Miss Xiao is getting married?"

"Yes, why? Are you regretting it?"

Jiaang Zirong shook his head, "No, if Miss Xiao is getting engaged impulsively, I think it’s inadvisable."

"Yuling, I want to persuade Miss Xiao, hoping she won’t act rashly to avoid regret."

Yuling felt a bit uneasy, but seeing Jiaang Zirong’s clear and bright eyes, she knew he had no other intentions.

Her husband was naturally a kind-hearted person and certainly wouldn’t watch Xiao Rujun jump into the fire pit with his eyes open.

Jiaang Zirong found Xiao Rujun and talked extensively, but she didn’t have much of a reaction.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiaang. I did not make this decision rashly; the person I’ve chosen satisfies me."

It was the first time Jiaang Zirong felt coldly received by Xiao Rujun, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He always felt that things weren’t that simple, which Xiao Rujun couldn’t have thought of; he went to her fiancé, hoping that he wouldn’t force her.

His interference almost ruined Xiao Rujun’s marriage.

Old Master Xiao was furious and arranged for people to beat up Jiaang Zirong.

After Xiao Rujun got married, she completely cut off support for the Jiaang family, leaving all the burdens to Yuling.

Jiaang Zirong was still like Money Scattering Child, often giving away his remaining silver coins to those he found pitiable. Yuling wanted to complain, but Jiaang Zirong always said those people were too pitiful and helped whenever he could.

Yuling could only take on other jobs, day by day, laboriously accumulating money to send Jiaang Zirong off to the capital to take the exams, hoping he’d return with high honors.

At this time, Qiann Yan appeared once more in front of Yuling.

"I know Sister is here to mock me, or perhaps to think that I’d regret living these hard days. Sorry to disappoint, I have no regrets." Yuling only glanced back before continuing to wash clothes indifferently. Her hands were no longer fair and delicate, her fingers had thickened, her skin had grown coarse, and there were even some cracks.

But she didn’t mind, for this was a mortal’s life.

Her husband still loved her dearly, never despising her appearance. He advised her not to tire herself out too much and even said he wanted to earn a title so she could become an official’s wife.

Though she was tired, she was very content.

Qiann Yan: "You’re overthinking it. I’m here to tell you that Jiaang Zirong is about to face a calamity."

Yuling froze, changing from her previous nonchalance and quickly ran to Qiann Yan, kneeling with a thud, "Sister, please tell me what calamity my husband is facing. For the sake of our years as sisters, could you help him? I’m begging you."
