Duan Yingying still remembers the pain of being wrapped in flames and burning.
Even when she turned into a soul, she was still tormented by that pain.
She regretted it and didn't want to die.
Buddhism says that people who commit suicide are not eligible for reincarnation.
Indeed, she was like duckweed, drifting around this imperial city with no fixed place to live.
"It hurts." She said unconsciously.
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" A childish voice of a maid sounded in her ears.
Duan Yingying frowned and opened her eyes.
The maid's face was full of tears. "Miss, you are finally awake. I was so scared that I almost died."
"Qing~er?"
Duan Yingying murmured unconsciously, and then frowned even more tightly, "Didn't I tell you to run for your life? Why did you die?"
"Girl, what are you talking about?" Qing'er hurriedly touched her forehead.
"Isn't it because he was confused by the fever?"
The maid's warm palm with a real touch made Duan Yingying stunned again.
"Miss San is going too far. How could she push you into the lotus pond? What if something unexpected happens?"
"Girl, you must not go to the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow night. You never know what tricks the Second Girl might come up with to harm you."
Duan Yingying glanced around the room and looked up at Qing'er, "Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival?"
"Yes." Qing'er's eyes widened, "Miss, you are not going to go again?"
She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
Duan Yingying felt that the scene before her was particularly familiar.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, wasn’t it the time when she was pushed into the water by Duan Mengmeng and was rescued by Shen Changhe?
Duan Yingying couldn't explain what was happening, but her heart was beating violently.
Could it be that God heard her pleading and gave her the chance to return to that day?
"Go, let's go, Qing'er, hurry up and find all the clothes in my closet."
"No, you still have to wear that one. Only if you follow the previous life's instructions can you avoid making mistakes."
She dragged her sick body to her feet, ran to open the closet, and began to search.
Qing'er was so frightened that she was stunned. "Second Miss, what are you looking for?"
"Qing'er, come and look for it together. It's that light blue dress with magnolia embroidered on the sleeves."
"Don't worry, young lady. I will help you find it."
Qing'er found the dress Duan Yingying mentioned in the closet and handed it to her, "Is this the one you are talking about?"
"Yes." Duan Yingying held the dress in her arms, turned around and sat back on the bed.
Qing'er looked at Duan Yingying, who was curled up on the bed holding her dress, and a feeling of fear slowly crept into her heart.
Could it be that the second girl’s brain was burned out?
Duan Yingying hugged her dress tightly, lowered her head and cried, the experiences of her previous life slowly emerged before her eyes.
She became a wandering ghost.
Watching the Duan family decline and watching my mother go crazy.
Watching her make a scene at Shen Changhe's wedding and get kicked out.
That night, Shen Changhe stood on the street, guarding Lin Yurou in the restaurant;
It turns out that ghosts also have emotions. She was madly jealous, roaring, and regretful, but she couldn't change anything. She couldn't even say a word to Shen Changhe.
Her hideousness could only stir up a gust of cold wind on the empty street, enveloping Shen Changhe.
She surrounded him, greedily unwilling to leave.
If she hadn't been playing any tricks that night, the person he would be guarding tonight would be her, and tomorrow, she would become her bride.
Duan Yingying hugged her arms, feeling the burning pain that never left her. Her face was distorted in pain and her body was shaking.
“Mr. Shen, I’m back.”
She murmured softly, tears falling on her dress. She hurriedly wiped them off with her sleeve and put them away carefully.
——
After a sleepless night, I finally looked forward to the next night.
Old Master Duan prepared a Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner at home, and Duan Yingying asked Qing'er to dress her up.
Even her hairstyle and jewelry were exactly the same as in her previous life.
When she arrived at the banquet hall, Duan Mengmeng had already arrived, surrounding Old Madam Duan and Madam Duan and trying to please them.
"Grandma, mother." Duan Yingying bowed.
Madam Duan's relaxed brows immediately frowned, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your sister helped with the affairs yesterday. What were you doing? You are the elder sister, but you only know how to be lazy. Which young master will dare to marry you in the future?"
Old Madam Duan glanced at Duan Yingying with dissatisfaction, then turned to smile at Duan Mengmeng with extra affection.
Duan Mengmeng hugged Old Madam Duan's arm coquettishly.
In her previous life, Duan Yingying was a cowardly person. Even when Madam Duan said that, she never opened her mouth to explain and just shed tears out of pettiness.
Now, Duan Yingying is no longer afraid of them.
"It turns out that mother didn't know. The day before yesterday, I had an argument with my third sister, and she pushed my daughter into the lotus pond. She choked on a lot of water, and she barely managed to get out of bed today."
Duan Mengmeng's expression changed immediately. "Second sister, what nonsense are you talking about? It was obviously your fault. How could it be that I pushed you?"
As she spoke, tears immediately came down.
Duan Yingying had a blank expression on her face. "Even if what I said was true, that I fell into the lotus pond and you just turned around and left without calling for help, did I still wrongly accuse you?"
"You——" Duan Mengmeng looked unhappy.
When did Duan Yingying become so sharp-tongued that she even dared to talk back.
"Mom, I didn't." She pulled Mrs. Duan's hand and started to act coquettishly.
"Okay." Madam Duan patted her and glared at Duan Yingying again, "Your sister is younger, and she didn't do it on purpose. Just give in to her. How can you be so petty with her?"
