My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 696 696: The Final Humble Defiance!

Chen Xuan and the three of them accompanied Old Wang and Wang Yunping drinking and eating until around nine o'clock in the evening.

Only then did they return to their small courtyard to sleep and rest.

Both Yang Leshan and Xiao Yiyi had flushed cheeks from drinking, looking rather charming.

"Even though this glutinous rice wine isn't very strong, drinking too much will still make your head feel inflated, and you'll sway while walking."

Xiao Yiyi was wobbling as she walked.

Yang Leshan wasn't in much better shape, but she stubbornly boasted, "Just admit you can't hold your liquor and stop making excuses."

"Ha, you think you can drink? I don't see you doing much better than me," Xiao Yiyi retorted with a cold laugh.

"Alright, you two, stop bickering and watch where you're going."

Chen Xuan supported one of them on each side, shaking his head helplessly.

With both of them swaying, he had to manage both sides, making him the biggest victim.

He finally managed to help them back to the courtyard.

In the end, both insisted on sleeping with Chen Xuan, and neither would give way.

Chen Xuan, also wanting to rest early, didn't argue with them and pulled them straight to the master bedroom.

The three of them lay down on the bed together, not even taking off their clothes.

Once lying down, Xiao Yiyi and Yang Leshan immediately fell into a deep sleep, clearly having drunk too much.

Chen Xuan lay between them, shaking his head with a smile.

This way, they could sleep without waking up in the middle of the night to start fighting upon realizing they were sharing a bed.

With him in the middle separating them, it could prevent such things from happening.

They slept through the night until dawn.

When Xiao Yiyi woke in the morning, she clung to Chen Xuan like an octopus.

Yang Leshan wasn't much better, with one leg over Chen Xuan, her arm around his neck, and her head pressed against his back.

"Oh dear, what happened?"

Xiao Yiyi and Yang Leshan exclaimed simultaneously, sitting up in surprise.

Chen Xuan rose leisurely, "You two didn't exhaust me last night and now ask what happened."

"Hurry up and wash your faces and eat something; we still have to head to the Dragon Head Incense." Chen Xuan stretched his back, almost stiff to death.

Xiao Yiyi and Yang Leshan exchanged glances, letting out soft hums as they got up.

Upon learning that Chen Xuan and the others were going to the Dragon Head Incense, Wang Yunping volunteered to guide them.

Along the way, many villagers were heading in the same direction.

In several nearby villages, there was a lot of movement.

They finally arrived at the site of the Dragon Head Incense, located on the highest peak in the area.

It's estimated to be about a thousand meters high.

A sizeable crowd of villagers had gathered, roughly two to three hundred people.

"Brother Chen, up ahead is where you go to the Dragon Head Incense."

"That narrow path is called the Dragon Ridge!"

"Since the end of the feudal dynasty, this place has long been abandoned, and no one usually comes here."

"Widow Liu is the first to bring up the Dragon Head Incense again."

Wang Yunping raised his hand to point forward.

Chen Xuan and the others looked in the mentioned direction. The Dragon Ridge looked like a single-plank bridge.

Only about twenty centimeters wide.

Perhaps it was erosion from years of wind and rain or because many people stepped on it in the past.

Nowadays, the surface of the Dragon Ridge is very smooth, with a raised middle and sunken sides.

Without any protective measures, if someone were to tread carefully, it's easy to slip and fall into the abyss.

There's not a shred of hope of survival.

Yang Leshan exclaimed with emotion, "Although I've never met Widow Liu, she's also a pitiful woman."

"If she weren't desperate, she would never risk doing something so dangerous."

Xiao Yiyi didn't rebut Yang Leshan but sighed as well, "Perhaps Widow Liu is doing this to attract social attention and seek justice for herself."

"But this action is a bit extreme; she might easily lose her life."

Chen Xuan also sighed slightly, isn't that the case?

How can a poor woman take on the big bosses of wealthy companies, except by risking her life?

The final stubbornness of the downtrodden!

"Widow Liu is here!"

Shouts arose from the crowd as everyone looked towards the distance.

A woman in a bright red robe appeared, looking to be in her thirties, walking slowly with a cold expression.

"Widow Liu is wearing a red robe! She's... risking everything!"

Upon hearing these exclamations, Chen Xuan and the others immediately looked at Wang Yunping, curious about the significance.

Wang Yunping gave a wry smile, "According to past customs, wearing light and plain clothes is usual when going to the Dragon Head Incense."

"Even if one fails and falls into the cliff, after death, they would be taken by the Dragon King and reincarnate into a good family in the next life."

"But Widow Liu wearing a red robe means if she accidentally falls, she won't reincarnate and will become a vengeful ghost!"

Hearing Wang Yunping's explanation, Chen Xuan's heart was greatly shaken.

Yet he could understand Widow Liu's drastic actions.

If she didn't have an immense grievance that couldn't clear her husband's name, how could she force herself to such madness?

Even in death, she would rather become a vengeful ghost to avenge those evil-doing villains, sparing none!!

"Brother Xuan, should we stop her?" Xiao Yiyi asked, filled with concern.

Yang Leshan was also very nervous, "If she walks onto the Dragon Ridge like this, she might fall directly; the consequences are unimaginable!"
