Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 180 Wen Nanwan and Ji Beichen

The weather is nice today.

Chen Xianlin was not in the palace today; she went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and Wen Nanwan did not choose to go with her.

He simply sat in Chen Xianlin's courtyard as usual, staring blankly at the gate, lost in thought.

Just then, Wen Nanwan vaguely heard the soft voices of palace maids talking behind her.

"Did you hear that?"

"What? What did I hear?"

"It's that the young master of the Ji family is going to marry the young lady of the Jiang family."

"Which family? Is it the young master Ji from Scholar Ji's family and Consort Jiang's sister?"

"Yes, it was a marriage bestowed by the Emperor himself!"

Two palace maids were whispering about the matter when Wen Nanwan heard the mention of the Ji family. She stood up abruptly as if struck by lightning and strode toward them.

She reached out and tightly gripped the wrist of one of the palace maids, demanding in a stern voice, "Who are you talking about? Whose family? The Ji family? Which Ji family? Speak!"

The palace maid's wrist was hurt from being gripped, and she quickly replied, "It's the Ji family, the Ji family's young master Ji Beichen is getting married!"

A sly glint flashed in the palace maid's eyes after she finished speaking.

After hearing the news, Wen Nanwan stood there stunned.

Suddenly, Wen Nanwan seemed to realize something: "How could I be so stupid? How could I be so stupid?"

Wen Nanwan questioned herself again and again, her thoughts returning to that day, to the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Chen Xianlin.

When Wen Nanwan left, she wanted to talk to Chen Xianlin alone to confide in her about her grievances at the time. However, somehow, her clothes got wet.

Then, while I was changing clothes, someone inexplicably rushed in; that person was Ji Beichen.

Wen Nanwan did have her suspicions about Chen Xianlin at first, but Chen Xianlin acted completely unaware in front of Wen Nanwan afterwards, so Wen Nanwan was unwilling to have any further suspicions.

Then, because Grand Commandant Wen kept scolding Wen Nanwan for being useless, he felt that Wen Nanwan had wasted an opportunity to expand the Wen family's power by trusting others too easily.

Wen Nanwan was furious, but in the end she still chose to marry Ji Beichen. At that moment she really thought about escaping this suffocating home. Her father only cared about power, and he could even use his daughter's lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip.

Wen Nanwan hated this very much, and then, in a fit of pique, she went to the Ji family.

At first, Wen Nanwan didn't want to pay any attention to Ji Beichen, thinking that life would just go on like that, and it would be best if no one bothered anyone else.

Ji Beichen never forced Wen Nanwan to do anything she didn't like, and he respected her greatly.

Ji Beichen had always kept a close eye on Wen Nanwan from afar, but he would never easily disturb her.

Ji Beichen would also often use his spare time to go to the streets and find little trinkets that would please Wen Nanwan.

After learning that Wen Nanwan was skilled in martial arts, he spared no expense to have various weapons forged, just so he could see Wen Nanwan's heroic figure wielding these weapons.

Not only that, Ji Beichen also searched far and wide for legendary stories and tales about these heroines, and then brought them back to give to Wen Nanwan.

Ji Beichen never hesitated to buy anything Wen Nanwan liked and then deliver it to her in bulk.

Gradually, Wen Nanwan's once rock-solid heart began to crack, and she was eventually moved by Ji Beichen's deep affection and persistence.

Wen Nanwan finally mustered up the courage to take the first step and took the initiative to talk to Ji Beichen.

During their conversation, Wen Nanwan discovered that Ji Beichen thought differently from her; Ji Beichen never thought there was anything wrong with girls wielding weapons.

Ji Beichen never thought Wen Nanwan's idea of ​​becoming a female general was ridiculous.

When Wen Nanwan brings up her desire to become a female general to Ji Beichen, Ji Beichen will say, "If my wife becomes a female general in the future, then I will be your strategist and offer you advice!"

Wen Nanwan always remembered those words...

Wen Nanwan knew that the Wen family would take action sooner or later, so she never dared to reveal her feelings to Ji Beichen, even though what Ji Beichen did moved her.

Finally, after a long period of effort, Ji Beichen won over Wen Nanwan, and the two confessed their feelings for each other.

Although Wen Nanwan and Ji Beichen usually have a lot of fun together, she feels even more upset when she thinks about her family's affairs.

Wen Nanwan didn't want to drag Ji Beichen down, and thought that if that time really came, she would find a time to leave.

However, Wen Nanwan did not expect that Wen Taiwei would take action so quickly, so she could only hand over the divorce papers she had prepared in advance to the elders of the Ji family.

Thinking that if Ji Beichen was unwilling to divorce, then the elders of the Ji family would make the decision.

Soon after, the Wen family rebelled, but they failed, and almost all of them died at the hands of Zheng Luoqi.

With everything settled, Wen Nanwan quietly awaited the imperial decree to confiscate her property. Just when she thought her life was over, Chen Xianlin appeared.

Chen Xianlin rescued her, but Wen Nanwan didn't understand why Chen Xianlin had rescued her.

Wen Nanwan now understands: Chen Xianlin acted out of guilt, from the beginning of plotting against her and Ji Beichen to later planning to wipe out the Wen family.

Wen Nanwan wondered: What if the person who barged in back then wasn't Ji Beichen, but someone else? Would her life have been betrayed by her most trusted friend?

So from the moment Chen Xianlin started planning to wipe out the Wen family, she felt guilty towards herself, right? That's how it is! Wen Nanwan laughed self-deprecatingly.

"What utter nonsense!" Wen Nanwan chuckled bitterly.

Was Chen Xianlin stupid? She wasn't stupid at all. She just knew how to numb herself, doing things that made her feel at ease, making herself feel better, and then comforting herself.

Chen Xianlin never cares about other people's feelings when she does things.

Chen Xianlin's biggest flaw is that once she loses, she will find all sorts of excuses for herself, refuse to accept the facts, blame others, and never blame herself.

Even now, with Wen Nanwan locked up, Chen Xianlin's thoughts are probably: "See? I've been so good to you. No matter how the Wen family treats me, my feelings for you remain unchanged. We can still be as close as before, if I want to..."

If Wen Nanwan were to suddenly stand up and rebel, Chen Xianlin would definitely feign weakness and then ask, "I've been so good to you, why are you treating me like this? What did I do wrong?"

Wen Nanwan felt disgusted whenever she thought about how Chen Xianlin treated her like a puppet and manipulated her at will.

Instantly, a deep hatred flashed in Wen Nanwan's eyes...
