"Beast..."
A faint sound came from the bed.
Liu Yao'er walked to the bedside, reached out and pinched Hongyu's chin to examine her, then suddenly pushed her away. "This death looks just like the dead Nian'er, what bad luck! Someone! Nail her to the wall and let her witness Mu Chenyu being torn to pieces."
The murderer who killed her son was right in front of her, but Hongyu was weak and powerless, letting the soldiers lift her up. She saw that Mu Chenyu's body had been dismembered, and blood flowed like a river in the bedroom. The butcher walked towards her with an axe.
She was pressed against the cold wall, followed by the cracking sound of an iron spike piercing bone...
------
"ah……"
Hongyu suddenly woke up with a start. Four maids held down her limbs. An old nanny came over with a bowl. Just as she was about to ask what kind of medicine it was, the old nanny took advantage of her opening her mouth and poured all the medicine into her mouth.
She choked and struggled to her feet, coughing as she lay down by the bed.
Looking at the bright red floor tiles, the image of Mu Chenyu's tragic death flashed before her eyes. She turned away in fright, and there was a jade pendant beside her pillow.
This jade pendant was given to her by her mother before she died, and she also revealed her background: "Your biological father's name is on the jade pendant. He went to the capital to take the imperial examination... and never came back."
The jade pendant is engraved with the character "齐".
In her past life, she searched for her biological father.
There are quite a few families with the surname Qi in the capital, and she visited all the prominent and wealthy families, but none of them recognized the auspicious cloud jade pendant.
And so, she gave up.
Later, Bai Yehua left his mother and son behind, leaving the jade pendant for Nian'er.
Upon picking up the jade pendant, I was surprised to find that my once wrinkled, old hands had become delicate, fair hands.
Could it be that she was reborn?
Turning to look at the old nanny, she was none other than Madam Bai's confidante, Granny Liu.
Granny Liu waved her hand, and the four maids withdrew.
“Miss Hongyu, the old lady values you highly and has made you the young master’s personal maid. If you can give birth to a son or daughter for the Bai family, won’t you have someone to rely on for the rest of your life?”
But you're so disappointing! It's been over half a year, and you still haven't gotten into the young master's bed. There's nothing I can do; the old lady asked me to help you. Don't forget me once you've gained favor!
She hasn't shared a room with Bai Yehua yet? Doesn't that mean she still has a chance to back out?
In her past life, she rescued Bai Yehua from drowning and brought him aboard a fishing boat. Disregarding her reputation, she used artificial respiration to save Bai Yehua's life. At that time, she made up her mind to follow Bai Yehua for the rest of her life, even if it meant being a maid or a concubine.
Who would have thought that Bai Yehua would use her as a tool to continue his family line, and then kill her after he was done with her!
Now that I've been reborn, how can I repeat the same mistakes?
She grabbed Liu Mama's arm and pleaded, "Mama, I won't go..."
"How dare you make such a decision? Don't forget you belong to the Bai family, you must listen to the old lady's arrangements. The young master has already taken his medicine, it will be done tonight."
After saying this, Granny Liu restrained her with one hand, removed her clothes with the other, and finally rolled her into the quilt. "Someone! Take Miss Hongyu to the young master's room."
When Hongyu saw the light again, she was already lying on Bai Yehua's bed. Looking down, her fair and pink body was completely uncovered.
She reached out to pull the blanket over herself, but heard a familiar, heavy voice say, "Don't cover yourself up, you'll be drenched in sweat in no time."
Looking up, a strong and cold face appeared; it was none other than the vigorous Bai Yehua.
Bai Yehua narrowed his long, narrow eyes, ripped open his clothes, and stumbled onto the bed. His burly and strong body was like a majestic mountain, easily trapping Hongyu beneath him.
"Let me go..."
Hongyu's voice was soft and weak, and her whole body was limp as mud. Even so, her hands were still resisting against Bai Yehua's chest.
She slept under Bai Yehua's bed for more than half a year. Every night, Bai Yehua would return with a strong smell of rouge and powder, stagger and fall asleep immediately.
The beauty Chen Yu has never liked heavy makeup, so Bai Yehua must have been involved with other women.
Tonight, Bai Yehua still looked exhausted, but having been drugged by Madam Bai, his infatuated and groping behavior was sure to ruin her reputation.
Tears streamed down her face as she felt her waist being pulled and twisted repeatedly. She could only bite her thin lips and endure the intense taste of blood, knowing her master's peculiar habits.
In her past life, Bai Yehua tormented her in the same way, but doted on Mu Chenyu. To put it bluntly, wasn't it just because of her lowly status?
In this life, she remains the fisherman's stepdaughter. Seeing that she had saved Bai Yehua's life, the fisherman took the opportunity to sell her to the Bai family at a high price.
The thought of falling into "hell" again in this life made her cry out in grievance, "Please, young master, stop..."
"Young Master, Master Mu has arrived with Miss Chenyu."
When Ma Wen came to report from outside, Bai Yehua didn't hesitate to pull away, and as he left the bed, he whispered a warning, "Wait here, don't leave!"
------
In the hall.
Chen Yu sat on the wooden ox with her eyes closed, her face pale and her brows furrowed. Although she was wearing a cloak, her body still trembled from time to time.
This is early autumn.
Master Mu stood to the side, wiping the sweat from his forehead, his brows still furrowed, his eyes filled with worry as he watched Chen Yu.
Normally, Chen Yu is lively and mischievous, and she's always laughing and chatting at dinner. But in the middle of the night, she suddenly fell off the bed, unable to stand, and her whole body was trembling. She wouldn't answer any questions, only muttering to herself, "I won't marry Bai Yehua, I won't marry Bai Yehua..."
In order to find out the reason, Master Mu had no choice but to take Chen Yu to visit the Bai residence at night.
Bai Yehua hurriedly walked in, squatted down and took Shen Yu's hands. Looking at Shen Yu, who was acting strangely and seemed frightened, Bai Yehua was even more puzzled. Shen Yu had been bold since she was a child, climbing trees, catching snakes, fighting... How dare she enter the Jingwang Mausoleum alone when she was eight years old? It is rumored that the place is often haunted.
Not only that, she even dared to perform autopsies on her own.
Why would she be so terrified at this moment?
"Little fish, don't be afraid, Brother Bai is here."
When Chen Yu opened her eyes, she saw that the angular, dark, and handsome face was the one she loved and missed the most.
In her past life, after Bai Yehua died, she spent her days in tears and couldn't sleep at night. She blamed herself for not being able to protect Nian'er. In just two months, she lost her husband and son, and her hair turned completely white. Even when Liu Yao'er cut off her legs, she blamed herself for bringing trouble to the Bai family.
Who would have thought that the tragedy of the Bai family was caused by Bai Yehua, who also caused her to die a gruesome death!
She was reborn, waking up from a nightmare. But as soon as she got out of bed, she collapsed to the ground. Perhaps because she had lost her legs in her previous life, she had no feeling in her legs now, as if they were nothing at all.
Thinking of her and her children's tragic deaths, she was heartbroken. She suddenly broke free from Bai Yehua's hand, raised her hand to slap him, but with her hand hanging in mid-air, she pulled it back.
Bai Yehua must have already taken Liu Yao'er in the Jia family. Such a disaster is brewing. How can he escape unscathed?
She came tonight not to vent her anger, but solely to break off her engagement with Bai Yehua and never be a general's wife again.
Facing those deep, melancholic phoenix eyes, she smiled, but the two dimples that usually graced her lips failed to appear.
"Young Master Bai, Chen Yu wants to annul the engagement."
