In the eighteenth year of Tianhe, there are fireworks in March and spring flowers are blooming.
In the most luxurious "Zhuyan Pavilion" in Mu Mansion, the maids were busy coming in and out, holding hot water or decoctions in their hands, as if something important had happened.
In the inner room, a pale-faced woman lay on the bed, unconscious and murmuring non-stop. The maid in green clothes beside the bed kept wiping the sweat from her forehead and frowned worriedly.
"No..." the woman on the bed suddenly shouted, her eyes widened, and she stared straight ahead for a long time, like a person who had a nightmare suddenly woke up. After a long time, the fog in his eyes slowly dispersed.
.
At this time, he put a pair of hands on her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "The fever has finally subsided. Miss, you were really scared to death in Wanqing. Miss was unconscious all the time, which scared everyone."
The sickly beauty on the bed never spoke. She turned her head blankly and looked at the girl dressed as a maid beside her. She called herself Wan Qing... Wan Qing... But she remembered that Wan Qing was assigned to a groom by her a year ago.
, died of illness soon after.
I don't know what frightened her, but the beauty on the bed got the strength to sit up suddenly. Her eyes widened, and she kept scanning everything around her, from the bed curtain to the furnishings in the room, and finally landed on
There was a long embroidery stand not far from the bed, and the hand hidden in the quilt clenched for an instant. If the sharp nails hadn't pierced the palm of her hand, she would have thought it was just a dream, an extremely absurd dream.
However, the stinging pain in her palm reminded her that all this was true.
She was not dead, not dead... Her fingers touched her cheeks unconsciously. There were no bumps and bumps, but smooth and delicate skin. She was suddenly stunned, as if she was possessed by a demon.
What on earth was going on? She clearly remembered being in the woodshed in the backyard, and the pain of that day came to her mind like a nightmare. She pursed her lips and held her chest, gasping for air. It was a terrible thought.
It broke into her mind, making her already pale complexion even more pale as paper. She opened her mouth and said in a low and hoarse voice like an old woman, "Give me a mirror."
Wan Qing was slightly startled and looked at his master suspiciously, but he still turned around obediently to get the small round mirror and said, "Miss was already weak and fell into the water again. Although it was already the end of March, the lake was still full of water.
It's cold, and the doctor said the lady needs to rest for a few days before she can get out of bed."
But the woman on the bed seemed not to have heard Wan Qing's words. The hand holding the mirror was shaking violently, and she was staring at the beautiful woman in the mirror. Although she was a bit haggard, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face, and her pale lips were pressed into a tight line.
The threads are slightly dry and cracked and very haggard.
When she fell in the fire that day, her face was already mangled with blood, and the burning pain is still fresh in her memory. However, the person in the mirror was only a little weak, and there were no scars on her face that should have been scarred.
She threw the mirror away like crazy, fear welled up in her eyes, she trembled all over, and was shocked speechless by such a sudden change.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Wan Qing finally realized something was wrong with her, and hurriedly came over and looked at her worriedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Please call the doctor."
"No need." She stopped her and firmly held Wan Qing's hand that was about to leave. Wan Qing looked at the unusual young lady with confusion, and then she uncomfortably let go of her hand. After a while, she finally calmed down, "
I'm still a little dizzy, tell me, what happened?"
She had to make sure of something. She clenched her fists and stared at Wan Qing nervously.
"Today Mr. Shen came to the house. The eldest lady and the second lady went to see Mr. Shen. They slipped and fell into the lake. The young lady was unconscious for several hours. The second lady went to the villa and heard the news. I'm on my way back, and even though the third lady is bedridden, she still asked Sister Lianying to come over several times to inquire about her situation." Wan Qing said slowly and unhurriedly.
She was completely stunned, and several scenes flashed through her mind: falling into the water, Mr. Shen coming to the house, unconscious...
Shouldn't these things have happened four years ago?
Master Shen, the prefect, and her father are family friends. Shen Yi, the eldest son of the Shen Mansion, returned to Linyang City as the champion in high school. Master Shen brought Shen Yi to visit the Mu Mansion. She heard that Mr. Shen was extraordinary and handsome, so out of curiosity, she secretly Went to the garden and met Lan Xi there. Lan Xi told her that Lord Shen intended to marry Mu Mansion, and also hinted that if she got married, she would definitely be Mu Mansion's legitimate daughter.
In fact, although the four daughters of the Mu family are not as good as hairpins, the whole Linyang City knows that the four daughters of the Mu family are all beauties of the same age. Therefore, most ordinary people do not dare to reach high places, but the Shen family is different. The eldest son is favored by the emperor and will surely prosper in the future. In addition, Shen Yi's uncle is also a well-known figure in the capital. Therefore, if Mr. Shen wants to marry the daughter of the Mu family, it will definitely not be a high-profile request.
However, Liu Yun took it for granted that if Mu Mansion and Shen Mansion were to discuss marriage, she, the eldest daughter, would naturally be the first to discuss marriage. She was not a hairdresser yet, so she could not make a marriage contract. In fact, her father did have this intention. Although Shen Yi didn't say anything about it, he showed affection for her in every gesture, so Liu Yun always thought that he liked her. He even didn't refuse when the two families discussed marriage, but he didn't expect that he would actually marry Lan Xi. He killed her child together and destroyed her along with him. She couldn't help but wonder, would he feel any trace of guilt when he knew he was dead?
Thinking of this, she secretly laughed at herself. She was so innocent after being harmed by them. That person's heart was black, just like her sister who was gentle and kind on the surface. They only wanted to destroy her. And the child in her belly, the child who was beaten to death by her father.
She was originally the eldest daughter of the Mu Mansion, Mu Liuyun, the legitimate daughter left by her deceased mistress. Her father sent her to the second lady Lin's lap. Lin was extremely pampered to her, but completely unfaithful to her biological daughter Lan Xi. Differently, the second young lady of the Mu Mansion, who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, is really favored by everyone, and the legitimate daughter of the Mu Mansion is just a legitimate daughter. She is uneducated, arrogant and overbearing all day long. On the surface, he was respectful to her, but secretly he thought that she was not as dignified and virtuous as the second lady.
However, the more willful she was, the more Mr. Lin doted on her.
Now that I think about it, she really had good intentions.
Bits and pieces of the past flooded into her mind, and she tried her best to calm herself down. She is no longer the same person she used to be. The humiliation and torture she suffered that day made her see many things clearly. It can be said that she has been reborn. Not an exaggeration.
After a long time, she laughed softly. There was a cough in the laughter, and the sound was so sad and sad that it seemed extremely abrupt in the dark night.
Was it because she refused to die with her eyes closed that God gave her a chance to be reborn? She was reborn into her fourteen-year-old self, four years ago.
She still remembered that she had sworn a poisonous oath before she died. Even if she turned into a ghost, she would come back to Mu Mansion. She would not let go of any of the people who harmed her.
God, did you hear her prayer, so you gave her another chance to choose? In that case, she will definitely seize this opportunity, and this time she will never stand still and be beaten passively again.
, she will take back those hatreds one by one, and no one can escape.
"Is the eldest sister awake? Cousin Yanran and I are here to see the eldest sister." Suddenly, the voice of Mu Lanxi, the second daughter of the Mu family, came from outside the door, with a warm gentleness that made people feel comfortable listening to it.
Liu Yun curled her lips and smiled, it was great to see her dearest sister again.
