Han Wanying was not surprised to hear her sister's words. She was not a fool and she had guessed these things a long time ago.
Then she heard her sister continue, "Sometimes when I see you enjoying such a glorious life, I always wonder why I didn't have your luck? Why don't I have your talent? Why did I have to enter the palace and become a sacrifice? Why me?"
"Wanying, actually, when I first married into the Crown Prince's Mansion, I really didn't have any feelings for him. All I had was resentment against him because of what I had done. But he was really nice to me back then, and later on, I really fell in love with him, so I was willing to bear his children."
"At that time, I naively thought that even though I didn't enter the palace voluntarily, I still married the right man and that I was lucky. But later I realized that this was just a little joke played by fate on me. After he ascended the throne, I realized that he had always had someone he loved. It turned out that I had always been a dispensable pawn in his hands."
"If it's no longer useful, I can just abandon it. He only gave me the position of concubine, and the empress gave it to the person he loved. Then what am I? What about the relationship he and I have had for so many years? Gradually, I realized that this was just a dream. Things have simply returned to the starting point. Besides, I have a child now. As long as I take care of my child, I can live a good life with or without him."
"But I didn't expect him to be so heartless. He didn't even care about me and his child. He let that bitch waste our lives like this. When I saw my child covered in wounds, crying and screaming in pain in my arms, I swore that I would make sure these two bitches died a miserable death in this life."
"I thought asking my father and mother for help would work. The funny thing is, one only cared about the family's honor, and the other only cared about her precious son. In the end, it was my younger sister who saved me. When I saw you being taken away by the sect, I knew my chance had come."
"Do you know what happened to that last bitch?"
The elder sister's old face was covered in a crazy smile, which made her look particularly mean and cruel. "I turned her into a human pig. Do you know what a human pig is? It means chopping off a person's limbs, gouging out their eyes, cutting off their nose and tongue, then pouring molten copper into their ears and mouth to make them mute, shaving off all their hair, and putting them in a groin."
"While I was doing all this, the emperor she longed for was still standing by, but he could only watch helplessly, not daring to say a word. What happened afterwards was just as I expected. The throne of empress that originally belonged to me is now mine, the position of emperor is now my son's, and the first chair of the country is now our Han family."
"You know, I've never been so glorious before, but this glory was given to me by my younger sister, who was not even five years old. I expected you to be better and stronger, but after seeing you come back stronger and better, I should have been even happier. But for some reason, I feel inexplicably jealous of you, jealous of everything you have. I know it's wrong, but I just can't help it, so gradually I stopped seeing you."
"Later, when you became better and better, and became something I could only dream of, I couldn't even feel jealous at all."
Han Wanying's sister's voice grew fainter and fainter as she spoke, her breathing becoming more and more rapid. She propped herself up and said to Han Wanying, "In my next life, I want to try your life. I don't want to be a daughter of the Han family. I don't want to be trapped in this palace anymore."
Then I saw my sister close her eyes and stop breathing.
Looking at her sister's face, Han Wanying thought to herself: Why are you all thinking about living my life? I hope you can live a happier life in your next life. No one has ever asked me if I am happy, but I still want to say that I am not happy. I am also afraid of pain, but I can't say it hurts, nor can I say it is bitter.
Practicing is really painful and tiring. Watching her loved ones die one by one in front of her, only she knows the feeling. She practices hard just thinking that you can live a better life, but can you please also care about yourself?
Obviously, just a simple sentence like "How are you?" would be enough, but it was still too much of a luxury for her.
Han Wanying stepped forward and tidied up her sister's remains, then spoke to her sister.
If possible, I hope nothing will change. You will still be the sister who hugs me, and I will still be the little kid who knows nothing. But if you don’t want that in your next life, I hope everything will go smoothly for you and you will be happy.
His sister's funeral was unprecedentedly grand, much more luxurious than the late emperor's funeral. One reason was that Han Wanying was there, and the other was that the emperor at the time was Han Wanying's nephew. He knew that his mother had suffered a lot for him, and in his heart, his mother was much more important than his father.
At the funeral, sadness was on everyone's face, but their eyes were filled with calculation. Han Wanying, dressed in plain clothes, looked at these hypocritical people in front of her. Perhaps in this luxurious funeral, few people were truly sad about the death of their sister.
A person walked over to Han Wanying and called out softly to her, "Sister."
Han Wanying looked back and found that it was her younger brother. She really had no impression of this younger brother. This was the brother her mother gave birth to after she went to the sect and regained her father's favor. She had not met him many times.
But her younger brother is no longer young, but I have to say that he really looks like her father in every way.
