For three consecutive days, she had the same dream. When she woke up, her lips were bleeding, her eyes were cracked, and her eyes were full of anger and madness...
A month ago, my mother, who had just finished her filial piety for her father, was framed by the steward for having an affair with a man. An inexplicable sachet became the evidence. My grandmother locked her up without saying a word. She defended my mother, but was also accused of having an affair.
And locked in this yard where debris is placed.
I thought my mother and I would be released after my grandmother found out everything, but I didn't expect that all this was planned.
With trembling hands, I pressed the cramping area in my lower abdomen. I had been feeling a dull pain in the past few days. I thought it was due to unclean food. When I saw everything in the dream, I realized that I had been poisoned a long time ago, even though it was not like in the dream.
If you are beaten to death, you only have two or three days left to live.
He clenched his hands into fists on his lower abdomen, dug his sharp fingers into his soft palms, and bit his pale lips until they almost bled. For three days in a row, everything confirmed that everything in the dream was true.
Three days ago, the entire family of her maternal grandfather Anguo, who had always loved her, was executed.
Yesterday, her fiancé Chu Zihan, the crown prince of Xin Kangbo, who has always expressed his deep love for her, went to the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion to discuss the marriage process between the two families. In fact, he secretly met with his second cousin Yu Lanyan, who is pregnant.
today……
"County Lord!" The maid Yuxiang walked in with a pale face, carrying a food basket in a panic.
"How is it?" Yu Lanxuan said calmly.
"Mama Yuan has inquired and found out that Mrs. Tai has indeed written a letter urging the Crown Prince to return home. She said that if he does not return home, he will be accused of being unfilial and will be deposed." Yuxiang said anxiously.
Aunt Yuan is an ordinary woman in the house. Her mother saved her life. The news in the past few days was secretly passed on by Aunt Yuan.
Everything is exactly like the dream.
Early tomorrow morning, Mrs. Ning, the second wife, risked her mother's life to force herself to say in front of a full house of guests that if something unexpected happened to her, she hoped that her cousin Yu Lanyan would marry her on her behalf and that they would marry her.
She could only agree to save her mother, but she didn't expect that after she got on the sedan chair, Ning ordered someone to strangle her mother to death. In her dream, she watched helplessly as her mother's face turned gray, her tongue turned out, and finally
The figure lying on the ground was stiff and twisted.
My heart was in severe pain, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out. I stretched out my hand and pressed it on the corner of the table, which was shaking.
When the sedan chair arrived at Xin Kangbo's house, Chu Zihan said that he was too weak to salute directly, so he only allowed himself to say Ning's instructions through the sedan curtain, and then he was sent directly to the bridal chamber, but in fact he was thrown into the utility room in the backyard.
Before nightfall, the news of my mother's death came, and then the news of her own death also spread. While everyone was sighing, they all felt that Prince Xinkang was kind and righteous. Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou expressed her guilt and wanted to make amends to Xinkang's house.
, and as he had said before, he married Yu Lanyan into Xin Kangbo's house overnight, saying that the marriage between the two families could not be broken, and it could not be considered a real marriage without a visit to the court.
At night, Yu Lanyan stepped on her own blood, walked up to her bloody self, and proudly talked about all her plans.
It turned out that my father was killed by his second uncle in order to seize the title of Marquis Zhengyuan.
As his grandson-in-law, Chu Zihan gained the trust of his grandfather and secretly buried evidence of "rebellion" in Anguo Palace.
The reason why he married himself was, on the one hand, to get together with Yu Lanyan in a legitimate way, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the connections left by his grandfather and father to portray himself as a great man with love and righteousness, which would help Chu Zihan gather connections and make contributions!
After her death, her soul drifted out of the capital, and she saw her thin young brother outside the city gate, being picked up on a sharp sword. His little body was like a broken doll, and the pain was to the bone...
"County Lord!" Yuxiang's anxious voice awakened Yu Lanxuan, whose eyes were filled with bloodlust.
"Have you brought everything?" Yu Lanxuan took a deep breath and swallowed the sweet taste in her throat.
"County Lord, I brought them all!" Yuxiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, eagerly opened the lid of the food basket, took out a can of kerosene, and carefully handed it to Yu Lanxuan, and then took out a set of servants' clothes.
clothes.
Yu Lanxuan took the clothes, asked Yuxiang to carry the prepared package, turned around and entered the house of Anshi, the wife of Marquis Zhengyuan. Anshi was resting because she felt a little unwell. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw her daughter coming in. She sat up holding the edge of the bed.
, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Mother, please put on your clothes and follow Aunt Yuan through the back door." Yu Lanxuan pushed the clothes into her mother's arms and said.
"What...what's going on?" An, who had always been gentle, was stunned for a moment.
"Mother, this is what grandpa means. Grandpa will explain it to you. Just go out first." Yu Lanxuan said with a serious face, fearing that her mother would be suspicious and unwilling to leave if she said too much.
Sure enough, when she heard that it was her father's arrangement, An was uneasy but she still changed into the clothes of a servant girl.
After they finished changing, Yu Lanxuan took Anshi and Yuxiang around to the back door of the yard. The back door was tightly closed. Yu Lanxuan looked around, picked up a stone, and opened the lock with a few clicks.
Grandma Yuan had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw An's coming out, she hurriedly saluted.
"Mother Yuan, I'm sorry for bothering you about my mother and Yuxiang. You will take them away tonight." Yu Lanxuan bowed deeply to Mother Yuan.
"County Lord, don't worry, I will definitely protect my wife." Aunt Yuan hurriedly avoided.
"Xuan'er, then you... what should you do?" An's still hasn't figured out the ins and outs of the matter. She just followed Yu Lanxuan's words. Suddenly, she felt uneasy. She held Yu Lanxuan's hand tightly and said eagerly.
.
"Don't worry, mother, tomorrow is my wedding day." Yu Lanxuan comforted Anshi softly, her long eyelashes hiding the cold hatred in her eyes.
"Well, I'll go to your grandfather's house first, and tomorrow... I'll come back tomorrow." The An family said in a confused tone.
Yu Lanxuan's eyes fell on Yuxiang, who was her personal maid and the person she trusted. After taking a deep look at Yuxiang, Yu Lanxuan said, "Yuxiang, my mother will entrust her to you."
"Don't worry, Lord County." Yuxiang choked with sobs.
Yu Lanxuan looked at her mother again, her mother's voice and smile deeply engraved in her heart, then she took two steps back pretending to be cool, waved her hand and said with a smile: "Mother, just go first, Xuan'er will come back in a few days
Go to Anguo Duke’s Mansion to visit my mother.”
She has been poisoned, and even if she follows him out, it will only be a drag.
If God had given her a few more days, he would have made more comprehensive arrangements for her mother. But now she can only pray to God to bless her mother and brother that everything goes well.
"Then you...be careful." Anshi, who had always been well protected, nodded with tears, and then disappeared into the night under the escort of Yuxiang and Grandma Yuan.
Tears fell on her cheeks, Yu Lanxuan wiped them away decisively, closed the back door, moved all the accumulated firewood from the houses on both sides, formed a circle in the small yard, and placed flammable gauze and cloth on top.
, and finally drizzle with fire oil.
I had prepared the red paint early. I picked up a brush, dipped it on the wall, and scrawled bloody words all over the floor.
Finally, she was so tired that she vomited a mouthful of black blood and sat on a pile of firewood soaked with kerosene. She recalled how the family used to be harmonious and beautiful. Now that her father is gone, her mother has escaped from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.
, my younger brother is looking for famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River because of his weak health. He just hopes that God will show mercy and his arrangements can be realized, so as to protect his mother and younger brother's health from now on...
When the sky was dark, the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion became lively, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside from time to time, showing a sense of joy.
Ning, the second wife of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, came to the backyard with a few rough envoys.
The courtyard door was locked at night. An asked someone to unlock it, opened the door and a large group of people poured in. However, after seeing everything in front of them clearly, everyone took a few steps back in shock, and some couldn't help but tremble all over.
, screamed loudly.
The first thing you see is a large field of red characters, dripping with blood, covering the sky and the earth. There are blood-red characters everywhere on the walls and on the ground of the entire courtyard. As soon as you step in, you feel like a ghost in the sea of blood.
The fire was already burning, and there were just a few sparks when I came in. The wind blew in through the door, and it immediately became a big fire. Where the fire was flying, Yu Lanxuan, dressed in plain white clothes, stood in front of the red sea of fire, looking at it coldly.
Ning's lips showed a cold smile.
"Close the door, close the door, close the door quickly." Ning yelled in horror, took a few steps back and fell to the ground, rolling and crawling back, her whole body shivering...
The burning flames and the blazing pain of burning the body tore through all the senses, and finally fell into nothingness in numbness...
The sound of "Bang, bang, bang bang bang!" was coming and going. What was it, a knock on the door? No, it was more like a banging on the door, accompanied by bursts of noise that came and went.
The delicate fingers moved, and Yu Lanxuan suddenly woke up. She covered her head with her hands and gasped for air. Dark clouds were overwhelming her eyes, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the whole world was delineated in the darkness, making people shudder.
