Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 311 - 284: Illusion Realm (2)

The time in the Illusion Realm conflicts with reality, making it impossible to describe using the normal passage of time.

One second she was getting married, the next Mu Yunchu was in the courtyard feeding the fish with Wen Xu.

She could sense the abnormality, but Wen Xu could not.

In his eyes, he and Mu Yunchu were already a harmonious couple and had been together for quite some time.

Sometimes the scene showed them in the garden, where Wen Xu would gently drape his coat over her shoulders.

Other times, it transformed into the dining table, where Wen Xu thoughtfully placed distant dishes into her bowl.

Even someone as resolute as Mu Yunchu might occasionally wonder if these events had truly happened.

However, it was only at certain moments.

Once she regained her senses, she continued to search for a breakthrough in the Illusion Realm.

On this day, the family of four was harmoniously having a meal at the table.

Wen Xu had just toasted his ’father-in-law’ and ’mother-in-law’, sat back in his chair, when suddenly, a drastic change occurred.

Noisy sounds suddenly erupted outside the courtyard, slightly ruining the harmonious atmosphere.

Before they could react, a servant came running in, shouting.

"It’s not good, sir and madam."

"The officers have come to raid the house!"

In an instant, everyone in the room changed their expression, and the items in their hands dropped to the floor, followed by the sounds of shattering ceramics.

Screams, the sound of running, and things being knocked over filled the air.

The raid meant all living assets of their family would be slaughtered.

This all happened so suddenly, and no one was prepared.

Even Mu Yunchu’s ’biological father’ slapped his forehead and sat back in his chair, dazed as if his soul had been extracted.

Although Mu Yunchu knew this was all fake, she couldn’t help but observe the expressions of these people.

Her ’biological mother’ sobbed, "What do we do, sir? What should we do?"

This sentence seemed to bring her ’biological father’ back to a brief state of clarity, "Quick, I’ll hold them off here, you take our daughter and go, hurry up and leave!"

Then, he stood up, repeatedly pushing them towards the backyard while he headed for the front yard.

Everyone knew this separation was forever.

So, there was a sense of reluctance in their hearts.

But they could already see the soldiers’ torches in the distance, and they knew they couldn’t delay any longer.

Mu Yunchu was thus pulled into the backyard, and the madam, seeing no one around, took out her personal belongings and valuables, pushing them into their arms.

"Listen to mom, hide far away..."

After the advice, the madam tearfully looked at her child, eyes filled with a multitude of reluctance.

"You should run now, I have to go back to find your father..."

She turned and ran in the opposite direction of the escaping crowd, the two watched as she fell to a soldier wielding a torch, feeling mixed emotions.

When she turned around to look at Wen Xu, she found he was already in tears.

He muttered to himself, "Deceived you, it’s all a deception."

"Actually, I married you just for this day."

"Your seemingly coincidental love at first sight was part of my long-planned scheme."

Mu Yunchu: "..."

She didn’t know what he saw, but she knew Wen Xu wasn’t speaking these words out of his own will. His gaze didn’t seem to be directed at her.

For some reason, Mu Yunchu felt that everything from the beginning until now was eerily familiar.

A conjecture surfaced in her mind but was instinctively dismissed as how could it be so coincidental.

Before she could think further, with a ’splash,’ Wen Xu had already jumped into the pond next to her, his blue silhouette gradually disappearing into the depths.

The soldiers were approaching, and Mu Yunchu also jumped into the water. When her gaze turned to land, she oddly saw a bride standing on the shore...

Dressed exactly like her, but with a completely different face.

That face...

Mu Yunchu’s heart skipped a beat, wanting to take another look, but the bride had already fallen. Her view was obscured by lotus leaves in the pond, unable to see anything on the shore, and eventually, even the noise faded away.

Her attention was forcibly drawn back to the present.

It seemed as though one Illusion Realm had just ended.

But after searching the pond for a long time, she couldn’t find Wen Xu’s shadow anymore.

A blink of an eye, a shift of consciousness, upon reopening her eyes, Mu Yunchu found herself in a different place.

The scene had returned to before they got married...

Only this time, the timeline was a bit earlier than last time, leaving Mu Yunchu uncertain if each regression would be earlier or if she was late last time.

But wanting to find Wen Xu again, she could only proceed with the ’process’ honestly. Watching as her mother held her hand reluctantly, helped her put on the personally stitched wedding dress.

Mu Yunchu recalled the incident during the raid, feeling somewhat touched.

"Mother isn’t sad, how could mother be sad."

According to the previous Illusion Realm plot, after the newlyweds married, they continued to live at the bride’s residence, so the mother and daughter didn’t suffer separation. Hence, she spoke the truth.

"Mother just laments the passage of time, in a blink of an eye, you’ve grown into a young lady."

"It feels like just yesterday you couldn’t reach the table height, chasing butterflies in the yard."

She said a few more earnest words and mentioned something that caught Mu Yunchu’s attention.

"Though their family status isn’t as high as ours, at least he is presentable and is preparing to take the imperial examination..."

"As long as you both live well, his family’s background doesn’t matter as long as you like him."

Then, she turned around, took a jade bracelet from the box on a tray held by a maid.

Mu Yunchu: !!!

Though many jade bracelets are similar, this seemed too coincidental.

Her inner conjecture intensified further.

Soon, an elderly woman beside her brought some pastries, wiping her tears, saying she was truly happy for Miss.

"Miss, you might be hungry later today. I’ve made delicious pastries for you, eat some in advance..."

...

Li Shang, after receiving Mu Yunchu’s message, disregarded everything else and rushed to the riverbank as fast as she could.

She didn’t forget to bring Ye Zhixia according to her instructions.

Though Mu Yunchu indicated the urgency of the situation, upon arrival, Li Shang was shocked by the scene before her.

Two people lay unconscious on the ground, and she hurriedly checked that Mu Yunchu was still breathing. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, still breathing."

Li Shang lifted Mu Yunchu up, looked again at the unmoving Ye Zhixia, "What are you staring at, take care of that one."

As she withdrew her gaze, she paused at the pool of black on the ground, her eyes flickered for a moment, then she turned and continued walking towards the car.
