In the room where the doors and windows were nailed shut with wooden boards, Jiang Wei's hair was disheveled like weeds, her face was withered, and her body was covered in filth like mud.
With one arm around Jiang Rou, Song Tingxuan instructed her to hold the crossbow through the paper window and aim it at Jiang Wei.
A cold arrow pierced his heart, but missed it by half an inch.
Jiang Wei lay stiffly in the thick smoke, breathing weakly.
Blood was everywhere, and the fire was growing bigger and bigger.
"Brother-in-law, my sister was seriously ill and couldn't think straight. She tried to commit suicide by self-immolation, but I'm afraid she can't be saved. Finally, the three of us can be together openly and forever." Jiang Rou said sweetly, leaning against Song Tingxuan's chest.
Song Tingxuan deliberately left Jiang Wei alive, because he didn't want her to die so easily.
Jiang Wei has been married into the Marquis's mansion for five years, worked hard for three years, been imprisoned for two years, and suffered inhuman torture. Now they want to burn her alive so that they can make room for their family of three.
What a hateful, shameless scoundrel, a piece of trash.
But she just happened to fall for such a scumbag, or rather, she fell for his tricks, along with her good sister.
Jiang Wei's vision was already blurred, and she couldn't see anything clearly. The burning sensation on her body was getting stronger and stronger, and she could even hear the sound of her skin and flesh exploding. The air, which was almost devoid of oxygen, was filled with the aroma of meat.
Her legs were blackened to the point of being charcoal, and excruciating pain radiated from every part of her body. Her blood was surging, and her heart felt like it was about to explode.
Jiang Wei was burned alive!!!
It was already late winter, and the weather was getting colder.
The charcoal in the boudoir burned brightly in the brazier, crackling and popping from time to time.
The maid was overjoyed. Her young lady had found a good family. Even the charcoal fire in the house was blooming. What an auspicious sign!
On the rosewood carved bed, the girl slept very restlessly. Her small face, no bigger than a palm, was furrowed and pale, without a trace of blood.
She was terrified by the sound of the charcoal crackling each time, her hands clenched into fists, and tears streamed down her face.
It's as if I can't escape a nightmare.
“Miss…Miss…”
In her dazed state, Jiang Wei heard a familiar voice calling her. After struggling several times, she finally broke free from her confinement and woke up from her dream.
Dewdrop breathed a sigh of relief, then held Jiang Wei's hand with a worried expression. "Miss, did you have a nightmare? You scared me half to death." She then comforted her, "You'll be fine once you wake up."
Dewdrop stroked Jiang Wei's hand, and Jiang Wei, seeing the maid at the very center of her attention, relaxed slightly and slowly let go of her hand.
Dewdrop looked down and saw deep nail marks on her palms, which had already bled. "Miss, what terrible dream did you have? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dewdrop will always be with you."
After saying this, tears streamed down her face. She was so heartbroken that she didn't dare to look at Jiang Wei. She quickly stood up to get some medicine to apply to her face.
Jiang Wei gave a bitter smile; this meant death.
They were killed by those evil spirits.
Is it possible that the souls of those they killed all return to the same place? She even saw her maid again.
Even as a ghost, he still cries easily. But when he was protecting her, he didn't back down at all and stood firmly in front of her.
Over the course of five years, all of them, including the mistress and her servants, perished in that cannibalistic mansion, leaving not even a trace of their bones.
Dewdrop gently applied the medicine to her, afraid to speak for fear of making her cry.
Jiang Wei reached out and pinched her cheek. The more she pinched, the more real the anger on her face seemed to her.
With tears in her eyes, Lu Zhu removed Jiang Wei's hand from her face. "Miss, be careful with your hand and avoid scarring. You're getting married soon, so you need to heal your wound quickly."
It is considered unlucky to get married while injured.
'Get married'? She had already been thoroughly taken advantage of and tortured by her good husband until she was left with only one last bite before being burned alive.
Jiang Wei looked around and saw the brazier not far from the bed. She broke out in a cold sweat and shrank back into the corner of the bed in fear. Her body trembled. "Put it out, put it out, quickly!" she shouted hoarsely.
"I'll take it right away, young lady, please don't hurt your hands." Dewdrop carried the brazier out like the wind.
Dewdrop gently smoothed Jiang Wei's long hair and placed it behind her back, pausing to comfort her.
Jiang Wei finally regained some of her senses and looked around the room, only to realize that this was her boudoir before she got married.
She looked at the gold and pearl ruby headdress on the dressing table, walked barefoot over, picked up the booklet with a red silk cover on the table, and opened it to find that it was indeed her dowry list.
This is Breeze Courtyard.
She was reborn?
Go back to when she was sixteen and before she married Song Tingxuan, when she was full of anticipation and joy.
Now she only wishes she could eat their flesh and drink their blood.
A soft cry came from outside the door, "Sister." Jiang Rou was good at putting on a show, just like her aunt.
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Wei's heart trembled, and the fear of being burned by flames surged into her heart, followed by endless hatred.
Jiang Rou walked in through the cold wind, her eyes darting around. It wasn't that she didn't know the rules, but she was too lazy to follow any rules with Jiang Wei, since outsiders wouldn't know anyway.
She's a dead mother and has no father to care for her, does she even deserve that?
Calling her "sister" is already giving her face.
He thought this in his heart, but wore an innocent smile on his face.
Jiang Rou saw the gold and ruby headdress on the dressing table, adorned with pearls and tortoiseshell, extremely luxurious, and her eyes shone.
He had already sat down, but he hurriedly got up and went over again, without even giving Jiang Wei a glance. His delight was obvious. He reached out and stroked her head, as if she was already his.
"Sister, can I borrow it for a few days? I'll return it to you." Her eyes never left her; her tone wasn't a question, but a statement.
"Ah Jing, put on the jewelry." He spoke with an air of superiority, as if he were taking his own things.
Dewdrop stared wide-eyed at Jiang Rou and her maid. How could they be so shameless, always trying to take everything from the young lady? It's only because the young lady is easy to talk to that they think, otherwise, I would tear their mouths apart and gouge out their eyes.
Dewdrop gritted her teeth in hatred; she was so angry she wanted to tear them apart with her eyes.
Jiang Wei couldn't help but want to kill Jiang Rou the moment she entered.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Killing her would be too easy and too cheap for her.
We must take it all back from them, bit by bit, and slowly drag her down to hell.
"Did I agree? You're so short-sighted," Jiang Wei asked casually.
Jiang Rou didn't take her seriously at all, assuming that she was just reluctant to part with the expensive jewelry.
In the end, though, she still had to give the things back. This idiot is so easy to fool. When did she ever expect her to return the things she borrowed? Even if she doesn't return them, we can still control her.
Jiang Rou felt contempt in her heart, but a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm appeared on her face. "Father, Mother said..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wei slapped Jiang Rou across the face, causing her cheek to swell instantly.
We can beat her up, but we won't kill her.
Hitting someone isn't something a refined young lady would do, but it can be cathartic.
Jiang Rou's eyes widened, and before she could react, Jiang Wei slapped her again with all her might.
"What you took from me before, you should return to me now!"
