The improved female villains regained their memories.

The reason is that she has gained a godmother named Su Rouxue.

"There's always a way out. Just as I thought, as long as I clear up the misunderstanding with Su Rouxue, assure her that I can resolve this matter, and continuously demonstrate my value in the meantime, I'm sure I can attract her attention. Crisis, crisis! Indeed, after danger comes opportunity!"

Su Murong suppressed his inner joy, his thoughts still racing.

"I was really too attached to appearances. I almost missed such an opportunity to get close to a powerful person. Now that I think about it, I was right. Su Rouxue looks down on me. In her mind, a country girl like me is nothing more than a representative of greed and corruption. But if I can show my value, then someone like me might not be so bad as to be cultivated and used. After all, Su Rouxue is a woman who has married into the family, and her children are not capable. She must be unable to support the family alone. At this time, she needs helpers, preferably people whose interests are deeply intertwined with hers and who are unlikely to betray her."

Su Murong remained calm and quickly figured out what he needed to do next.

"So all I have to do now is follow Su Rouxue obediently. I like Yang Pingsheng, so I absolutely cannot give myself to someone else. Su Rouxue is a woman and doesn't have any special fetishes, so she's the perfect person for me to take advantage of. So I have to coax her, respect her, and do whatever she wants without hesitation. I'll give her whatever she likes and solve whatever she hates."

"Shame? Ha..." Su Murong laughed disdainfully.

What does shame matter as long as I can be with Yang Pingsheng?

In the days that followed, Su Murong tried his best to please Su Rouxue.

The old woman kept advising her not to get too close to Su Rouxue and the Su family. Su Murong nodded on the surface, but in reality, she didn't take it seriously at all.

Yang Pingsheng also came to see her and asked her what she wanted to do. She only replied that it was all for our future and that she just needed to cooperate.

To Su Murong's relief, Yang Pingsheng believed in her without hesitation and cooperated with her.

She wasn't afraid of getting dirty or tired, was ruthless, and could do any dirty or strenuous work. She also had a sweet tongue, quickly winning Su Rouxue's favor. The Yang family, intimidated by the Su family's power, became less resistant to Su Murong.

She is Su Rouxue's daughter, who has always been resistant to her and always speaks sarcastically to her whenever they meet.

But what did all this matter as long as she could be with Yang Pingsheng? Su Murong didn't care about her at all, only responding with a smile.

Although she had always followed Su Rouxue, Su Murong would never submit to someone else. On the one hand, she worked hard to do everything Su Rouxue asked her to do. On the other hand, she began to cultivate her own power and explore the secrets of the Su family.

On one occasion, Su Rouxue asked Su Murong to kill a servant of the Su family for her. Without saying a word, she got the address and rushed over. However, when she arrived, the person did not run away. Instead, he calmly fed the porridge in his hand to his old mother who was lying on the bed. Then he got up and gestured for Su Murong to come to the courtyard to talk.

In the courtyard, Su Murong became interested and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

“I know.” The man nodded calmly. “I know you’re here to kill me.”

"Since you know that, why did you bring me here? You want to fight me one-on-one?"

Su Murong smiled, took out the crossbow she had prepared beforehand, and aimed it at him: "Do you think a weak woman like me would fight you one-on-one?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, I accept it if you come to kill me, but my mother is old and I can't bear to let her see this."

Su Murong lowered the crossbow bolt.

“I will not kill a filial son,” she said.

And so, Su Murong and he became friends, and he became Su Murong's first subordinate. He told Su Murong that Su Rouxue wanted to kill him because he had evidence of Su Rouxue bribing officials, so Su Rouxue wanted to kill him to silence him.

Su Murong saved him, prepared a new hiding place for him, and bought a similar-looking corpse to take back as a way to complete his mission.

At this point, Su Murong had fully begun her expansion of power. She constantly learned, studied, and communicated with others, and most of the people Su Rouxue wanted to kill became her allies.

At this time, Yang Pingsheng also went to the capital to take the imperial examination, and he passed the exam, became an official, and was transferred to their area to serve as an official.

Su Rouxue's daughter hasn't given up yet, but Yang Pingsheng just happens to like someone else, which infuriates her.

Finally, one day, she could no longer bear it and stopped Su Murong.

Su Murong looked at her with his usual smile and asked, "Miss, what is it?"

Snapped.

She slapped her.

"You're just a dog by my mother's side." She grabbed her hair and said viciously, "A country girl like you, does she really think she can turn into a phoenix?"

Su Murong maintained his smile: "I didn't think that way."

"I'm tired of your smiling face." She leaned close to Su Murong's ear and whispered, "Guess how your mother is doing, since you haven't been home for so long?"

At this moment, Su Murong's expression finally changed.

Su Rouxue's daughter then burst into laughter, kicked her, and strode away, saying before she left:

"Hurry back, you might still be able to see your mother one last time."

Su Murong ran back like a madwoman, but when she got back, her mother was already dead.

They starved to death.

They broke her legs, locked her in the room, locked the door, and then left her alone until white maggots crawled out the door.

Su Murong looked at him, his cold eyes devoid of light.

However, she rushed back that night, and when she met Su Rouxue's daughter the next day, she still had a smile on her face.

Good morning, young lady.

Her smile remained unchanged, as if it were embedded in her face.

Su Rouxue's daughter finally felt fear, but it was too late.

Three years later, Su Murong completed his takeover of the Su family and sidelined Su Rouxue.

Two years later, Su Murong had several more immortal-level warriors under his command.

The officials and merchants of this place were finally brought under the control of Su Murong alone.

She hanged Su Rouxue's daughter, starved Su Rouxue to death, and sat alone in the chair of power, looking up at the sky.

A month later, she and Yang Pingsheng got married.

Bright red "double happiness" characters, lively guests, dignitaries toasting each other, Yang Pingsheng's parents beaming with joy, telling others that their son had married a good woman.

Inside the room, Su Murong ripped off the red veil from her head and threw it aside. She then grabbed Yang Pingsheng's clothes and pushed him onto the bed.

Yang Pingsheng looked at her and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Too many formalities, they're annoying," Su Murong said. "In this lifetime, we're finally together."

"Ah."

"No one can stop us now."

"Correct."

"From this day forward, we are husband and wife."

"Yes."

Yang Pingsheng opened his arms to her: "We will always be together."

However, Su Murong let go, got up, and walked to the side.

Yang Pingsheng also sat up, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a little lonely."

Su Murong picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Why are you lonely?" Yang Pingsheng asked. "You have power and money, and your influence has spread to every corner of this place. Why are you lonely?"

"do not know."

Su Murong put down his wine glass, looked up, and his gaze turned slightly cold.

"Perhaps it's because there's something else."

"What else?"

Yang Pingsheng didn't react.

Su Murong turned to look at him, her gaze calm.

She was so calm that Yang Pingsheng became uneasy: "Xiuqing, what's wrong?"

"Xiuqing, huh..."

She let out a long sigh.

"But I am Murong."

Throughout my life, I have admired glory.

The next moment, the scene shattered.

Chapter 194 Wen Shihan and Su Murong

Outside the formation.

Xuanwu suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Not good!"

Zhuque was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

“The token I gave to the Lord was imbued with some of my own will, but I never expected that all of my will would be obliterated.” Cold sweat dripped down Xuanwu’s forehead. “Blending with the light and dust, standing there dumbfounded, so that’s how it is. This Blending with the light can obliterate a person’s will.”

"What?! If that's the case, won't our lord become a mentally challenged idiot?" Zhuque exclaimed, grabbing Xuanwu's clothes and shaking him repeatedly. "Are you reliable at all? Are you absolutely certain?"

"Don't shake, don't shake, wait, wait, let me think of something..."

As she said this, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Zhuque stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This test of the same light is, to put it bluntly, to stir up the most hidden desires in people's hearts, to form a cycle, and to immerse people in it. The killing move I used on the token is to keep the Lord awake at the critical moment."

Xuanwu said in confusion, "The trials of the mortal world, the repeated trials, will wear down a person's will. That's how the will I imposed on them was worn down."

"Then, my lord..."

“The lord has regained consciousness.” Xuanwu’s words revealed surprise. “Moreover, she is merging with Tongchenguang.”

"Ah, this..."

Inside the formation.

"This trial is amazing. I didn't even notice anything unusual. But no matter how mysterious it is, it can't explain why I, a farm girl, have courage, boldness, and knowledge that far surpass others."

In the pure white space, Su Murong quietly watched all of this.

She touched Xuanwu's token; it was still there, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just don't know who that man named Yang Pingsheng is, and why, in my heart..."

Su Murong murmured, and the scene changed the next second.
