After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1361 - 1360: Main Story Finale 33
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
Xia Chuyi remained silent, while the hysterical Xia Lan continued to speak, "Back then, it was because of Cao Guihua’s incident that the Ou Family began to suspect their child might not be with human traffickers."
"And then, foolishly, they went to the hospital from that year to check each pregnant woman one by one. It was during this investigation that they found out about you."
"But what use is knowing? They still couldn’t find you, hehe, it ended up benefiting me. Riding on your coattails, I stepped into the higher society."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi finally understood that Xia Lan’s backing in her past life was actually her own family.
The reason Xia Lan could enter the Ou Family was because of her.
Ultimately, what Xia Lan relied on to instruct He Qing was none other than the influence of the Ou Family.
Everything and all that Xia Lan obtained in her past life was, fundamentally, due to Xia Chuyi.
Therefore, Xia Chuyi made He Qing harass her, fearing she would return to the Ou Family and ruin Xia Lan’s plans.
This is simply a karmic entanglement.
At this moment, Xia Lan’s words continued, "Xia Chuyi, you died before me in your past life, so you were reborn before me. Leveraging the advantage of being reborn first, you lived better than I did!"
"This lifetime, I died before you, so in the next life, I will definitely get reborn before you. Then, I will make sure you forever remain a mere ant underfoot, living a fate worse than death!" Xia Lan’s eyes shone with an peculiar gleam.
Xia Chuyi frowned, thinking Xia Lan was indeed mad, and said, "Xia Lan, you’ve gone mad, take care of yourself."
"What take care of myself? You don’t believe it?" Xia Lan responded, "Haha, you will definitely lose, you will, unless you die before me, unless you commit suicide before I am executed!"
"Xia Chuyi, do you dare? Do you dare?" Xia Lan shouted manically.
Xia Chuyi shook her head, said nothing more, and left the prison.
After leaving the prison, upon seeing her husband Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi felt a twinge of emotion.
So, he had spent a lifetime searching for her in the past life? Yet she knew nothing of it then.
For some reason, when Xia Chuyi thought about Huo Shiqian’s unmarried state in the past life, she couldn’t help but wonder: could it have something to do with her?
But naturally, Xia Chuyi had no answers to any of this.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing her a bit groggy, Huo Shiqian asked with a frown.
"Nothing," Xia Chuyi shook her head, and said, "Just feeling a bit sentimental... Never mind, I won’t think about it much. No matter the past, the future is what matters most."
Huo Shiqian didn’t understand why his wife suddenly said this, but he still agreed with her, "Yes, the future is what matters most."
With that, the couple returned home.
That night, Xia Chuyi suddenly had a dream. In the dream, she seemed to see the middle-aged Huo Shiqian talking to a venerable monk in a monastery.
"Benefactor, are you certain you want to dedicate your merit to this woman named Xia Chuyi?" the monk asked.
The middle-aged Huo Shiqian replied, "Yes."
The monk nodded and said, "Very well, I will assist in transferring it. In her next life, this woman shall have great blessings, to make up for the shortcomings of this life and fulfill her unachieved desires."
"Thank you, Master." Huo Shiqian thanked him with hands folded in gratitude, then suddenly took out a piece of paper, saying, "Master, I have here a set of birth-date characters. This person has committed numerous evils. Master, I hope you will perform a ritual so that in the next life, she will eternally fall into hell before Xia Chuyi’s eyes, to compensate for her blood debts in this life."
Huo Shiqian spoke these words very calmly.
In the dream, Xia Chuyi was shocked because the birth-date characters were Xia Lan’s!
The monk glanced at the birth-date characters, then looked at Huo Shiqian, and folded his hands in prayer, "Amitabha."
Then Xia Chuyi saw the monk lead a group to perform the ritual, and in the center of the altar was her Heavenly Book Jade.
