Zhang Tianyou looked at Xu Xue and coughed a few times. He felt a little inferior. “Grandma, Xue won’t like me. I’m too weak.”

Miao Zhen smiled. “Silly, Grandma is omnipotent. I’ve already prepared something for you. Once you have a girl you like, I can use it.”

Xu Xue cried. She felt that her body was no longer under her control. She couldn’t leave or run away. She cried and begged. “Grandma Miao, please let me go. I’m already engaged. Please don’t separate us.”

Zhang Tianyou smiled at Xu Xue. “Xue, don’t go against me in the future. I’ll only like you if you’re obedient. I don’t like disobedient girls. When you get married, I’ll give your father a large sum of money so that he won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. You won’t have to show your face in public anymore.”

Xu Xue shook her head. She didn’t want to live like this. She really wanted to run, but her legs were so weak that she couldn’t move.

Miao Zhen took out a jar and pulled out a very small white worm. She handed it to Zhang Tianyou and said, “Tianyou, good boy, eat it.”

Zhang Tianyou was very obedient to Miao Zhen. He did not find the worm disgusting at all. He opened his mouth and let the worm crawl into his mouth.

Miao Zhen grabbed another white worm. It was very big, the size of two fingers. It was white and wriggling.

Miao Zhen said to Xu Xue, “Xue, come over and eat it.”

Xu Xue shook her head, feeling extremely terrified. She didn’t want to eat it. She didn’t.

Miao Zhen said calmly, “Don’t be afraid. This is the love poison. After you two both eat it, you’ll only love each other. You will never leave him, and you will do whatever Tianyou wants you to do.”

The more Xu Xue listened, the more afraid she became. She couldn’t bring herself to swallow this worm.

However, her legs seemed to be controlled by someone else. She knelt down and crawled to Miao Zhen. Xu Xue gritted her teeth and refused to open her mouth.

Miao Zhen looked at her indifferently and slapped her without a word.

The wrinkled hand pinched her chin so hard that it seemed like it could crush her mouth. Xu Xue could only watch as Miao Zhen threw the white worm into her mouth.

When the worm entered her mouth, it immediately crawled towards her throat. Xu Xue felt that the worm seemed to be eating her brain. She screamed in pain and rolled around. Many things faded from her mind.

When she woke up again, she was already at home. Zhang Tianyou was in her mind. If she couldn’t marry him, she would rather die.

When Chen Wen came to look for her, she felt disgusted. Xu Xue could not accept that she was engaged to Chen Wen. The person she wanted to marry was Zhang Tianyou.

Xu Xue forced Chen Wen to break off the engagement. Everything was normal. The only thing that was different was that she knew that the person she loved was Zhang Tianyou, so she couldn’t refuse anything Zhang Tianyou said.

Liu Sanniang let go, and Xu Xue fell to the ground weakly. Mr. Xu immediately went up to support her.

Xu Xue felt a faint pain in her head. She hugged her father and cried. “Father, my head hurts. My head hurts. I wish I was dead.”

Mr. Xu was extremely worried and looked at Liu Sanniang nervously. “Miss Liu, how could this be? What happened to my daughter?”

Liu Sanniang said, “She remembers she was poisoned. As long as the love posion is not removed, she will be tortured. Now, she has had a change of heart. She knows that she doesn’t love Zhang Tianyou, but the love poison wants her to give up everything for Zhang Tianyou. The two thoughts of being incompatible with each other will torture her.”

Mr. Xu gritted his teeth angrily. “I’ll go find Miao Zhen. No matter what, I will get her to remove the poison. What right does she have to poison my daughter?”

Xu Xue came back to her senses. Her head was in pain, but she knew that Miao Zhen was really scary. She hugged Mr. Xu and said weakly, “Father, don’t go. You are no match for her. Father…”

Mr. Xu choked. “Xue, what else can I do?”

Xu Xue cried and said, “Father, Zhang Tianyou’s grandmother is too powerful. If you go, you’ll only die. She knows evil spells. I couldn’t control myself at all when she made me eat the worm.”

When she thought of that terrifying memory, Xu Xue felt so much pain that she wanted to die. To her, this was undoubtedly a disaster. She thought that if only she hadn’t gone to sell the fish that day. If only she hadn’t spoken to Zhang Tianyou.

But there was no if.

Liu Sanniang said, “Don’t be anxious. I think she will come looking for you soon.”

Mr. Xu was shocked. “Miss Liu, what do you mean?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Xue and said, “Because the two worms are connected, the worm in Zhang Tianyou will sense the change in Xu Xue. So, I guess that Zhang Tianyou is not feeling well now either.”

Mr. Xu was shocked. He did not understand mystic techniques. Hearing Liu Sanniang say this, he gritted his teeth. “That’s a good thing. It’s best if he dies from the pain.”

Liu Sanniang said, “Miao Zhen loves her grandson very much. She would even poison someone for her grandson. It’s impossible for her to remain indifferent when something happens to her grandson. She will come to find Xu Xue soon.”

Xu Xue’s face was pale and weak. “Miss Liu, please help me. I really don’t want to marry Zhang Tianyou. I don’t like him. I definitely don’t love him.”

When Xu Xue said this, she felt a piercing pain in her mind. It was as if a worm had come alive inside and was biting her, punishing her for her change of heart.

Even though she was in so much pain, Xu Xue still said word by word, “I don’t love Zhang Tianyou. I don’t love him!”

Even if she died from the pain, she wouldn’t budge.

Loving someone was like a spring breeze that warmed the heart.

She felt that she loved Zhang Tianyou because she was poisoned. That was not love, but control. As for Xu Xue, she was unwilling to be controlled. Even if she died, she was unwilling to be controlled, let alone fall in love with Zhang Tianyou.

The pain in her mind was sharp. Xu Xue hugged her head and rolled around, but she still said with difficulty, “I-I don’t love…”

Mr. Xu’s heart ached. He raised his hands and looked at Xu Xue, who was rolling on the ground. He didn’t know what to do. He cried. “Xue, my daughter, what should I do?”

Liu Sanniang squatted down and held Xu Xue’s hand, wrapping it with her strength. Liu Sanniang said, “Miss Xu, don’t say that. When Miao Zhen comes, I’ll help you. Using love poison is against the heavenly laws. I won’t ignore it.”

Liu Sanniang’s strength was warm, relaxing Xu Xue bit by bit.

Xu Xue panted heavily, and her hair was wet with sweat. She slowly said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, I’m so lucky to have met you.”
