Chapter 5 Part 1: The Underground Palace
After leaving Liu Yu's Zhongshu Mansion, Tan Daoji returned home unconsciously. He hesitated for a long time, but finally called the old housekeeper of the mansion, Uncle Tian. This housekeeper was a refugee rescued by Tan Daoji when he attacked Pinglu Mountain in his early years. Uncle Tian was grateful and went to Tan Daoji to become a housekeeper. If he was loyal to Tan Daoji, no one in the mansion could match him.
Tan Daoji took a deep breath and ordered, "Three days later, I will die for the girl."
Uncle Tian was shocked when he heard this and said, "Girl is doing well, how can you say that you have a funeral? It's not good! It's not good!"
Tan Daoji didn't explain much, but said, "In three days, the girl will die of being possessed by evil spirits. No one knows this, including the wife."
Uncle Tian was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but saw that Tan Daoji had turned his back and had to shut up and exit the door.
Three days later, a heart-wrenching scream came from Mrs. Tan's room. She stumbled out of the room and ran towards her daughter's room.
When she pushed open the door, Mrs. Tan seemed to have used all her strength and could not move forward any more. When she stepped into the room tremblingly, the little man lying on the bed was only three years old... How could the heaven bear to let her die so prematurely!
Even in the undercurrent of the tide of usurping the throne, everyone was used for chess pieces, but the child was not bad! She walked to her daughter's bed as if she was a thousand pounds, and her face was already full of tears. She opened her mouth, heartache so much that she could not make any sound! Her chest seemed to be drained, her throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed out! The person also paralyzed.
It took a long time before the servants heard the wife's shrill cry in the yard, "Yu'er - Mother's Yu'er -"
Everyone in Tan Mansion was covered in mourning. Today is the fifth day of the first seventh day. Those who should come to worship have come here. The crowds of people in Tan Mansion a few days ago were covered by the current sorrow.
The girl has always been a pistachio in the mansion. Although it is frightening every time she makes people fuss with her master, the child is innocent and clever, and the whole mansion loves her very much. Now, he is still inexplicably.
Tan invited the rain to die early, and Mrs. Tan had not dripped water for three consecutive days. If Tan Daoji had not been able to come back the day before yesterday, she would have decided to go with her daughter.
Today, Tan Daoji came back from court and saw that the servants were standing outside the wife's door, and he knew that she must have refused to eat today. He shook his head, walked up to send the servants away, and walked into the room alone.
"If you died like this, would you really think Yu'er would be happy?"
Mrs. Tan was so weak when she spoke, she still sat upright, "My daughter died in vain, but you still couldn't let go of your high-ranking official position and generous salary. If the rain is known under the spring, will you really be happy?"
Tan Daoji said in a deep voice, "You are not unaware of the situation in the court now. If I make a mistake, the entire Tan Mansion will not be able to live well."
Mrs. Tan was obviously a little excited. She clutched her palms tightly, and her eyes were red and she said, "My daughter is gone, how could I care about anything else!"
Tan Daoji looked at her in surprise. Although she knew that she was talking and talking, her wife, who was cautious in her words and actions, would ignore her so much today, which inevitably surprised Tan Daoji. He wanted to tell her daughter about her death, but seeing that her wife was so excited at this time, it was hard to guarantee that she would take care of her daughter after she knew the truth. There were so many people in the house, and once someone saw the problem, everything would be wasted.
Tan Daoji sighed and finally said, "If you want to see the person who killed his daughter with your own eyes, live well. Don't say anything else but ignore it. If your daughter is gone, you still have our son to take care of." After that, he walked slowly.
On the afternoon of that day, the eldest son Tan Zhi and the second son Tan Can and the third son Tan Meng knelt outside Mrs. Tan and asked the wife to eat. Mrs. Tan looked at her two biological sons, the eldest, the older one was only twelve years old and the younger one was only ten years old. How could she bear to leave them and go west with her daughter? But her daughter, her most beloved daughter...
"Yu'er - how can you bear to leave your mother?" Mrs. Tan cried bitterly while holding her daughter's little gown until she fainted.
——Division line—
Yao Yu felt the figures swaying in front of her. She remembered that her father had come to feed her medicine and then fell asleep. Why did she hear her mother crying? Did she do something wrong again? As she thought about it, she fell into darkness.
When she woke up again, her eyes were still dark. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes with difficulty. She could vaguely see her hands moving.
"Girl? Are you awake?"
Xiao Yaoyu twisted her face, who was it? The sound in her ears sounded muffled, and only a small figure and a faint light were vaguely seen walking towards her.
Ah—it's Zimo.
After Xiao Yaoyu woke up, Zimo told her the whole story. Only when she pretended to die could she escape the pursuit of the court. But... she will live forever in the underworld secretly built by the Tan Mansion.
Although Zimo and Uncle Tian tried their best to comfort her, Yao Yu was still young after all, so she didn't know what to do with the right and right. She just thought that she would never see her parents again, so she cried into tears.
"I don't care! I don't want to live here! I want my mother! Uncle Tian, please let my mother come and save me!"
Uncle Tian called out anxiously and distressedly, "Girl, please stop the sound, don't let people hear it! This underground palace was specially created by the owner when the mansion was built, just in case. Although it is wronged by the girl, it is better than death! Girl, don't cry, girl, Uncle Tian will give you the snacks you like!"
"I don't want snacks! I want my mother! I want to find my mother! Why isn't my mother here?" Xiao Yaoyu refused to let go, covering her ears and not listening to Uncle Tian's words.
Uncle Tian looked at the girl pitifully and said, "The master is afraid that the wife will not be able to calm down, so he has never told the wife about the girl's deception. Now the wife is afraid that she is guarding the girl..."
Xiao Yaoyu didn't understand what a guard is, so she kept crying, "Mom! Come and save Yu'er! Mom! Mom!" She said as she jumped out of bed, slapped the four walls of the underground palace, trying to find an exit.
He suddenly pulled his body backward, and then his little face was slapped hard. Yao Yu covered his face and looked at Zimo blankly.
Uncle Tian was startled and roared in a low voice, "Rareless! You little sword boy, how can you attack the girl!"
Zimo didn't defend himself, so he just stared at Yao Yu.
Xiao Yaoyu was beaten there by him and forgot to cry.
Seeing that she stopped crying, Zimo asked coldly, "Do you want to die?"
Xiao Yaoyu shook her head blankly.
"Then live here honestly. I believe the general will save you."
Xiao Yaoyu's nose felt sore when she heard this, "But it's so dark here, Yu'er is afraid..."
Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, took Yan Yu's hand, and said firmly, "I will accompany you until the general saves you."
As if he had a reassurance, Xiao Yaoyu nodded, "Well. Daddy will save me, one day, he will save me."
Uncle Tian finally felt at ease. He glanced at Zimo and took him into the underground palace at first because he was the only one who could calm the girl down when her internal energy was in chaos. Now it seems that although this child is still young, he can still take on a great responsibility.
