Lightning pierced the sky, and the strong wind and rain made the locust trees in the courtyard rustle.
Feeling dizzy...
Mingzhu struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and vaguely saw the runes drawn with bright red blood on the ground, and her mind suddenly woke up.
This is...the soul-calling talisman!
She subconsciously stretched out her hand, and what she saw was a pair of pale, soft and weak delicate jade hands.
Mingzhu immediately realized that this was not her hand!
She went on an expedition with her father at the age of fifteen and was invincible. At the age of seventeen, she was awarded the title of General of the Fuguo, becoming the first female general in the history of the Zhao Dynasty. She was not feared by Emperor Zhao until she was twenty years old and was brutally killed.
Years of practicing martial arts have made her hands no longer as delicate as those of a boudoir woman, but have calluses on her palms.
Moreover, she clearly knew that she had been dead for a long time, but because her soul had been trapped in a dark place and could not be reincarnated, she was tortured day after day.
But at this moment, the hot breath, the warmth of her palms, and the thunder and lightning in her ears told her very clearly that she was resurrected again!
Suddenly, she felt a stabbing pain in her brain, and a memory that did not belong to her rushed in crazily.
This body is named Yan Mingzhu. She is the third daughter of the Earl of Pingchang. Half a year ago, she was replaced by Pingchang Bo Limao as the prince, and the second daughter of the Yan family was married to Pei Zhuoran, the eldest son of the Pei family.
But because Yan Mingzhu was born with an ugly birthmark on the right side of her face, she was rejected by the seductive Pei Zhuoran after her replacement marriage. She never set foot in her house for six months after getting married, making her a joke in the entire imperial capital.
The reason why Mingzhu was reborn in this body is because three days ago, the original owner's biological mother's natal family, Yongyi Houfu, was completely wiped out in the Battle of Yueshan.
One of the surviving lieutenants went to Beijing to accuse Marquis Yongyi of treason and collaborating with the enemy, resulting in the death of none of the 100,000-strong army!
Emperor Zhao was furious and ordered the Yongyi Hou Mansion to be surrounded. He only waited for the bodies of the Yuan family father and son to be transported back to the imperial capital before convicting the Hou Mansion.
The original owner was extremely anxious and firmly believed that his grandfather could not do such a thing. He knelt at the door of Pei Zhuoran's room for three days, just begging the Pei family to speak up for the Hou Mansion.
But the door never opened. The original owner was so distraught that he bit his finger and used his last strength to draw the soul-calling talisman, hoping to summon the heroic souls of his grandfather and the others to find out what happened.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the soul of Mingzhu was attracted, but the soul of the original owner had disappeared and was already dead!
Mingzhu sighed and stroked the blood on the ground, "You can go with peace of mind. Since I have taken over your body, from now on, I am Yan Mingzhu. I will avenge you. Your family, I
Guard for you!"
At this time, the rain above the head suddenly disappeared, and a cry came from my ears: "Girl, please stop kneeling. My uncle is worse than a pig or a dog. The Pei family will not save the Hou Mansion. Girl, hurry up and follow the slaves."
Come on, otherwise your body won’t be able to hold on!”
When I looked up, I saw a baby-faced baby with baby fat advising me with tears. This was Yan Mingzhu's personal maid Liu Xiang.
"Help me up."
Liuxiang originally thought that her girl would not listen to her, but she unexpectedly relented.
He was stunned for a moment, fearing that Yan Mingzhu would regret it, so he quickly helped her up.
The moment she stood up, her long-kneeling knees felt heartbreaking pain, and Yan Mingzhu gritted her teeth without making a sound.
As soon as he got up, two servants came over with sticks and said with fierce looks on their faces: "The eldest son has ordered that this ugly woman be beaten out with sticks to prevent her from disturbing her dream!"
Liu Xiang stood in front of Yan Mingzhu without hesitation, "Don't hurt my girl!"
"Oh, you are such a foolish and loyal maid, and you still dare to stop us from doing things, so I'll beat you to death first!"
A stick was swung hard, and Liu Xiang closed his eyes as if he were dead.
And at that moment, Yan Mingzhu quickly took action, grabbing one end of the stick with one hand and pinching the Yangxi point on the servant's wrist with the other.
The servant's hand suddenly lost strength. Yan Mingzhu just broke it, and there was a click, and the bones of his hand were broken!
As the servant screamed, Yan Mingzhu took away the stick and smashed his head open with one blow!
The servant didn't even scream, he just rolled his eyes and fell straight down.
Another servant witnessed this scene helplessly and was so frightened that his legs became weak and he could not even hold the stick in his hand.
"You...how could you...come..."
The servant turned around and was about to run away and call for help when Yan Mingzhu threw the stick out with her backhand and hit the back of his head accurately. The servant fell to the ground like a dog.
Yan Mingzhu strolled forward, grabbed the hair on the back of his head, and before he could even cry out for help, she grabbed his head and smashed it to the ground!
Liu Xiang stared blankly at everything that happened in front of her. Why didn't she know when her girl became so powerful?
In the rain curtain, Yan Mingzhu was already soaked to the skin, and her hands were stained with blood, dripping down her fingers to the ground, like a Rakshasa returning from hell.
Liu Xiang belatedly discovered that Yan Mingzhu's eyes were no longer as timid as before, but clear and settled, with a killing and heroic aura between his brows, like a battle-hardened general!
"Girl...girl, are you injured?"
Yan Mingzhu only shook her head, "Pazi."
Liu Xiang quickly took out the handkerchief and handed it to her. Yan Mingzhu wiped the blood on her hands and walked towards the main house.
The thunder was still rumbling, but the sound of a man and a woman conspiring could be heard in the main house.
The man is Yan Mingzhu's nominal husband Pei Zhuoran, and the woman is her other dowry maid Cui'er.
Cui'er sat delicately in Pei Zhuoran's arms and said sweetly: "My eldest son, now the Yongyi Marquis Mansion has been surrounded. I think your majesty will punish him soon. This treason and collaboration with the enemy is a capital crime that involves the nine tribes!"
Pei Zhuoran's face was full of impatience, "If Uncle Pingchang hadn't been so shameless, and exchanged peaches for plums during the wedding, and brought in that ugly woman Yan Mingzhu, how could our Pei family be involved in this kind of misfortune?
matter!"
"My eldest son, for the current plan, we can only divorce that ugly woman immediately and sever the relationship with the brother-in-law of Yongyi Houfu, so that the Pei family can stay out of this matter!"
Pei Zhuoran frowned and said, "I have wanted to divorce that ugly woman for a long time, but she refused to sign the divorce letter. Now that something has happened to the Yongyi Hou Mansion, she is even more unwilling to sign."
"What's so difficult about this? As long as you find two skilled people to break Yan Mingzhu's hands and feet, then she won't have the strength to resist, and just hold her hands down, isn't it?"
While Cui'er said extremely cruel words, she took Pei Zhuoran's hand and pressed it on her lower abdomen, "Moreover, I am pregnant with your child. This is the eldest grandson of the Pei family. If you don't give up, Yan Mingzhu, then what will happen to Yan Mingzhu?"
When the child is born, he will have no name or status!"
Pei Zhuoran thought of his own flesh and blood, and a fierce expression came over his face, "Good Cui'er, I will do as you say!"
Hearing all the fragrant sounds outside the house, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "These shameless couple, you treat Cui'er so well, but she is having an affair with your uncle behind your back, and she is pregnant with an evil son, why don't you kill them to death?"
