Chiang Xiao reflected on Nian Che's visit to the Kong Family and the eerie similarities between her own experiences and Meng Xi's, both marked by malicious adoptive uncles. Qingzhu explained that she left with Nian Che solely to restore her disfigured face, showing indifference to Chiang Xiao's recognition. Confronted about valuing her appearance over her daughter, Qingzhu whispered that her daughter was dead—victimized by fugitives with an unknown father—before suddenly collapsing unconscious, prompting Chiang Xiao's frantic attempts to revive her for clarity.

What on earth does that signify!

Chiang Xiao found it impossible to remain composed; her mind felt on the verge of bursting.

Meng Xinian initially failed to respond as well, since his first assumption was that the rambling, partial truths stemmed from the Illusionary Talisman Diagram's influence?

Thus, was Chen Zhu claiming her daughter had perished?

Thus, had she erased Ah Liu from her mind and claimed possession by a rogue spirit instead?

It's crucial to note that her ordeal in the cave at Siyang Village's Back Mountain remains vivid in Ah Liu's own recollections, matching precisely with Chen Zhu's account.

Hence, on a rational level, that segment holds true. Furthermore, Chiang Xiaoxiao bears a striking resemblance to Ah Liu; she is undoubtedly his flesh and blood, beyond any question.

Despite reviewing all aspects once more, this issue stands confirmed as reality with no major inconsistencies.

In addition, upon closer inspection, Chiang Xiao shares features with the present Chiang Songhai, and also with Chen Zhu prior to her scarring. There's scant cause to question her Chiang Family lineage.

Thus, it's highly likely the previous statements resulted from the Illusionary Talisman Diagram's impact, muddling Chen Zhu's recollections slightly and leading her to utter absurdities.

"Chen Zhu, wake up right now!" Chiang Xiao seized Chen Zhu once more, prepared even to force the potion down her throat.

Meng Xinian noticed her growing unhinged and swiftly moved to restrain her, pulling her back a couple of paces.

"Little, Little, settle down."

Chen Zhu's present state of unconsciousness likely arose from the Illusionary Talisman Diagram's influence as well.

Her respiration remained present and even, showing she faced no grave risk, merely fainted.

As they conducted this test, it made sense to allow Chen Zhu to regain awareness naturally.

In this manner, they might uncover precisely what the Illusionary Talisman Diagram intended to achieve.

"Brother Xinian, did you catch what she uttered just now?" Chiang Xiao clutched his hand tightly.

"I caught it, Little, I did."

Meng Xinian cradled her face, bending forward to seal her mouth with his.

He rarely witnessed Chiang Xiao abandon her poise and serenity in such a way, unsure of any technique to restore her tranquility swiftly, thus resorting to this approach.

Silencing her briefly ought to ease her turmoil somewhat.

"Mm..." The moment Chiang Xiao tried to voice her thoughts, Meng Xinian's warmth overtook her, silencing her completely.

He drew her close into his arms.

Initially, Chiang Xiao's thoughts stayed chaotic, yet shortly after, his intense advance grew more commanding, clouding her mind with his presence and momentarily erasing Chen Zhu from her concerns.

Meng Xinian's hold burned with intensity.

Meant at first to comfort her, to steady her nerves.

Yet the instant their lips met, he lost all restraint.

After his return, numerous issues piled up: first, evaluating the Thousand Miles Talisman Diagram during his hurried journey; back home, Nian Che demanded attention, then Chen Zhu followed suit. He hadn't yet fully indulged in his wife's essence.

This kiss ultimately caused them both to surrender to the moment somewhat.

Chiang Xiao melted completely within his arms.

Her awareness slowly resurfaced only after Meng Xinian drew away.

Still, she no longer spiraled as wildly as earlier.

"Little, keep in mind, regardless of anything, I'm by your side, stay composed."

Meng Xinian murmured while holding her face gently.

Chiang Xiao inhaled deeply, giving a nod.

"I get it."

He had previously reminded her that under no circumstances should they permit external forces to sway their feelings.
