He stretched out his hand to grab a handful of weeds and sat up. A gust of wind blew through him, and his whole body shivered. He blinked his long eyelashes, and everything he saw seemed somewhat familiar.
Didn't she burn to death? Her heart beat rapidly several times, her hands tremblingly reached out to her eyes, and they slowly clasped them together. Tears fell one after another, dripping between the pale intertwined fingers.
I can't hold it, but I can feel the warmth.
So, this is all real.
A large number of memories came up in his daze. It was the life of her clan sister Yu Xijiao...
The third daughter of her father's clan brother, Xuanping Hou Yu Ruiwen, and the granddaughter of Princess An and the eldest princess. Her biological mother, Xie, died young. Her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Xie, took pity on her for losing her mother at a young age, and specifically begged Princess An and eldest princess to take her to the south of the Yangtze River.
Raising, this raising lasts for decades.
Three days ago, Yu Xijiao was escorted back to Beijing by her second aunt. Today is the day when stepmother Qian takes Yu Xijiao to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion for a wedding banquet.
There was a fire in the backyard of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and the happy event turned into a funeral. The hosts all went to discuss the matter, and the guests were in a mess. The stepmother Qian was the cousin of Ning, the second wife of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and she was anxious to appease her cousin and let the maid
Caiyue took Yu Xijiao for a walk and waited for her to come back.
Caiyue led Yu Xijiao to a corridor and sat down. After giving her a cup of tea, Yu Xijiao fell into a drowsy state.
Caiyue helped her into a room to rest. She suddenly woke up in a daze and saw a drunk man rushing toward him with a lewd smile. Yu Xijiao picked up the teapot on the table and threw it at the man.
He fainted and fell to the ground. Just as he was panicking, he heard Caiyue knocking on the door hard and shouting, attracting a large group of people.
If anyone saw her in a room with a disheveled man, Yu Xijiao's reputation would be at stake.
In panic, Yu Xijiao pushed open the back window and jumped out. She missed the mark and fell down, hitting a sharp stone on the back of her head...
It turns out that this is how Yu Xijiao died!
In the dream, she was lying on the ground covered in blood. As she lay dying, she vaguely heard Yu Lanyan mentioning Yu Xijiao triumphantly, saying that she ran away with someone and fell to her death when she jumped out of the back window, abandoning all her clothes.
Stigma.
Her heart beat violently, her hands clenched tightly, her tears turned into silent laughter, the sky has eyes, she was reborn, and from then on, she was Yu Lanxuan and Yu Xijiao.
God gave her the opportunity to avenge herself and Yu Xijiao, and also gave her the opportunity to protect her mother and brother!
"Girl... don't scare me, please open the door quickly! Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang." A more violent sound of banging on the door came, accompanied by the vibration of the door frame. It looked like the door was about to be smashed open.
The skirts were rustling in the wind, lightning flashed across the dark sky, thunder rumbled again, and a heavy rain was about to come.
Looking up at the sky, Yu Xijiao endured the waves of severe pain in her mind and decisively slid into the lake in front of her, then slid to the right. There was a small platform there with shrubs on the edge.
Weed, the whole person shrank, slowed down his breathing, reached out and pulled out a hairpin from his hair to be on guard.
The door was smashed open, and Caiyue led a large group of maids and the mother-in-law rushed in.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a disheveled man lying on the ground with a broken teapot next to him. Caiyue screamed and rushed forward: "Girl, third girl."
There was no one inside.
"The back window is open." someone exclaimed.
Caiyue threw herself at the window again and screamed: "Girl, girl, where are you? I watched you come in, you... come out quickly, don't scare me."
Yu Xijiao looked at this seemingly "loyal" maid through the bushes and the dark sky, breathing slowly and calmly, and a trace of deep anger slipped through her eyes.
This maid bought herself as her master.
"Where is there anyone?" Someone followed Caiyue's shouts to the window and stuck his head out, "Where is there anyone? The back window is close to the lake. If you are not careful, it will fall. In this weather, it will fall.
Where is the life left?"
"No, let alone your girl, I don't even dare to jump down. I don't know the depth of this jump. Who knows if I will miss the mark or drown if I don't fall." There was another one.
The mother-in-law also took a special look and shook her head.
"You girls know how to drink water?"
"No, our girl can't." Caiyue cried miserably.
"If he can't, then he left a long time ago. This person... must have come from behind, right?" Someone pointed at the man on the ground and said, "He won't die like this, right?"
"Maybe he fell down after drinking too much, and he is so drunk!" A housekeeper at the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion clicked her tongue, raised her hand and called to the two women behind her to carry him away.
Nothing was found, and there was nothing interesting to see. The others shook their heads and left.
"Caiyue, what's going on?" Qingyue finally came over panting. She was the maid brought by Yu Xijiao from Jiangnan, and she had just been sent by Qian to find cakes.
"I...I don't know..." Caiyue stammered.
"What don't you know? You are making such a big fuss, you want the girl's life, right?" Qingyue was angry and anxious, raised her hand and slapped Caiyue on the face.
"I...I was also worried that something would happen to the girl, so I lost control all of a sudden." Caiyue covered her face, sobbed and ran out, "The girl is not here, I will go find the girl."
Only Qingyue was left in the house. After walking around the house, she also went to the back window and shouted twice in a low voice outside the window: "Girl, girl, are you here?"
Yu Xijiao wanted to respond to Qingyue, but one hand suddenly stretched out to cover her mouth, and then she fell into a solid embrace. The other hand clasped her waist.
There are actually people in the lake early?
Yu Xijiao's body trembled, and she subconsciously used the hairpin to tie the hand on her waist. The hand lifted up from her waist as if it had eyes. Yu Xijiao felt something pointed at her vest, and her body immediately stiffened...
