Zhao Guo, March 16, the 20th year of Yongjia, was auspicious, suitable for getting married, encased, and buried.
The eldest daughter of the Mu family, a century-old prominent family in Lanjing, got married. The guests and friends were all over the house, beaming with joy, and congratulations could not be heard.
The groom is Gu Yilan, the heir to the Gu family who is a hereditary priest of the Zhao Kingdom and has unparalleled power. He is a young and talented man, extremely handsome.
The bride is one of the four beauties who are famous in the capital, the imperial concubine and niece Murong. No matter who listens, this marriage is a match made in heaven between a talented man and a beautiful woman.
In the remote backyard, which was completely different from the bright red lanterns and joyful atmosphere in the front yard of Mu Mansion, Mu Yunhan hugged the dying old woman tightly in his arms and begged: "Save grandma, as long as I can save her, what do you want me to do?"
It will be all right!"
In this world, she is the only one who depends on her for life. For her, she can give up everything!
The eldest daughter of the Mu family, Murong, who was about to get married, was sitting beside her, with her feet raised to let the maid trim the nails on her nails. Her luxurious red-pinned gold bird-facing phoenix dress spread out on her body, shining like the morning glow.
She smiled lazily: "This skirt is embellished with a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine rubies, which Yi Lan specially found for me. He said that I am the only one worthy of him in this world. And you,
It's just a pig we raise for blood supply, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?"
Mu Yunhan felt her grandma's breathing getting weaker and weaker, and once again begged in a low voice: "Miss, please, grandma is innocent, as long as you are willing to save her..."
Murong interrupted her, "It's really unlucky! This old woman will die sooner or later, but she just happened to be on the day of my wedding! Just like you, she has a miserable fate! If it weren't for the strange ancestral disease in the Gu family that needs your blood to cure,
Why should I bother raising such a lowly maid like you! It’s just that you don’t want repayment, but you dare to dream of marrying Yilan, and you don’t take a piss to look after yourself, who do you think you are!”
Not so!
Anger and hatred made Mu Yunhan's eyes red!
They deceived her and took away everything from her!
The sons of the Gu family were born with supernatural powers and were good at divination. They were hereditary priests of the State of Zhao, but they also suffered divine punishment because of this. The men were short-lived and could die suddenly at any time.
The women of the Mu family are extremely talented, and their blood is the life-saving medicine for the men of the Gu family. Therefore, every priest's wife must be a woman with the purest blood of the Mu family.
She is the person with the purest blood in Mu family's generation, and she should be Gu Yilan's wife.
She was full of love for him, but he deceived her, conspired with Murong, imprisoned her for six years, and continuously drained her blood.
In order to prevent her from escaping, they used her family to coerce her and torture her. Murong even destroyed her appearance with her own hands!
Mu Yunhan breathed rapidly, filled with hatred.
"Are you not convinced?" Murong sneered and reached out to brush Mu Yunhan's face: "Tsk tsk... let alone marry you, even if I just look at you, I'm afraid Yi Lan can't do it!"
Mu Yunhan raised his head suddenly and looked at Murong fiercely. The crisscross scars on her face were fully exposed in the sun, but they could not hide her outstanding temperament and beautifully shaped facial features. Her eyes were even more radiant, comparable to
gem.
When Murong saw these eyes, she couldn't help but think of many things, and she couldn't help but feel jealous like crazy.
She withdrew her hand in disgust and carefully wiped it with a handkerchief: "Throw this old woman into the snake cave. Today is Yilan and I's big day, so we should give them extra food."
"No!" Mu Yunhan hugged her grandmother tightly. She knew that Murong was ruthless and there was nothing she couldn't do.
Murong smiled, her eyes filled with malice: "You can save your grandma if you want..."
A sharp knife with cold light was thrown in front of Mu Yunhan.
"Put out your eyes with your own hands and give them to me as a wedding gift. I can consider letting her go!"
Mu Yunhan held the handle of the knife tremblingly, knowing that this was just the beginning of another round of torture.
Murong's words may not be true, and grandma may not be able to escape. Is she going to live like this for the rest of her life?
The tip of the knife was pointed at her eye socket, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone——
Grandma held her tightly with all her strength, looked at her with pity in her dry and cloudy eyes, shook her head slightly, then took a long breath, tilted her head, and died.
"Grandma!" Mu Yunhan screamed miserably as the dagger fell to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart felt as if it was being dug out alive, and the pain made her want to live.
"I want you to be buried with me -" As soon as she said it, Mu Yunhan picked up the sharp knife, jumped up, and rushed towards Murong. She had only one thought: kill Murong!
The tip of the knife was almost touching Murong, and a sound of steel clashing came. She was pulled back by the iron chains tied to her wrists and ankles, and the knife was also taken away.
Murong was in shock. When she saw that her luxurious wedding dress had a big cut and her delicate arms were soaked with some blood, she immediately became furious and slapped Mu Yunhan hard in the face and kicked her again: "You bitch!"
How dare you hurt me and kill her!"
The maid reminded in a low voice: "Miss, my uncle still needs her blood..."
Murong raised the corners of her lips coldly: "What's so difficult about that? Drain all her blood and make pills."
After today, she will be the extremely noble wife of a priest. Keeping Mu Yunhan around will be a curse!
"Yes." The maid skillfully fixed Mu Yunhan's arm, wiped the wrist with strong liquor, and inserted a special hollow silver needle into the blood vessel. The blood flowed out instantly and flowed into the silver storage bottle below.
Murong thought the blood was flowing too slowly, so she ordered her servant: "Hang her upside down and drain her to the last drop of blood!"
The moment before he passed out, Mu Yunhan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, dug his nails into his palms, and the poison hidden in the gaps between his nails spread all over his body in an instant, and then dripped into the silver storage bottle.
How could she be used by Murong again when she had nothing?
