Shen Liyue didn't know how long she slept. She dreamed that she seemed to be in the sea, falling straight down, surrounded by endless darkness. It was so dark that it was scary.
Gradually, the sinking speed became slower and slower, and Shen Liyue seemed to be at the bottom of the sea and actually stood up.
Scenes from the past played back before my eyes like a kaleidoscope.
She suddenly thought of a lot.
Shen Liyue grew up in an environment full of love.
The Shen family was originally a prominent family in Wangjing City. Their great-grandfathers had been granted titles after conquering the world with the old emperor, and the title had been passed down to the third generation by their father. Shen Liyue had always had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. She had everything she wanted, and everything she needed was of the highest quality.
Her father and mother had always had a good relationship. As far as she could remember, they had never argued or gotten angry. She also had an older brother, Shen Weian, who loved her very much and raised her to be innocent.
Chen Liyue remembered that when she was little, her mother often took her to the palace to play, and she became friends with the princess. However, after she married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, her relationship with Lu Yun gradually faded.
Marrying into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was a child marriage arranged by my grandfather's generation.
Back then, Old Master Fang and Old Master Shen were good friends. They agreed that if they had a son and a daughter, they would be engaged. Unfortunately, Old Master Fang died on the battlefield, leaving behind only one son. Old Master Shen died of old age, having fathered only three sons, so the engagement fell to Shen Liyue's generation.
Just one year after coming of age, Chen Liyue married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
When she first entered the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Liyue was also a lively and active person. Fang's mother always felt that Chen Liyue was unruly and that she was marrying up into the Fang family. Their Fang family earned their titles by shedding their blood on the battlefield, so their family titles were passed down again and again.
The Shen family had not gone to the battlefield since their great-grandfather, and had been working as civil servants in the court with the protection of their ancestors. Therefore, the Shen family's title had been passed down to Shen Wangqiu for the third generation. If they wanted a title again in the future, they would have to earn it on their own.
In the first few years after her marriage, although Shen Liyue was restricted by Fang's mother and was not allowed to leave the house, Shen's mother could still visit her occasionally, and her life was relatively good. In the third year, the Shen family was divided. Shen Liyue thought it was a good thing at the time. Her two uncles had been playboys all their lives, and they only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, relying on the eldest wife like a bloodsucker. Unexpectedly, in the fourth year, Shen Wangqiu offended the new emperor. Because the house was divided, only the eldest wife's property was confiscated. There was no one to support her anymore. Fang's mother even didn't let her go home for the funeral. Her life became completely decadent.
Chen Liyue's originally proud spirit gradually became dim.
Thinking of this, how could she not be angry.
She was angry at Fang's mother for being too bullying, and angry at Fang Zhiran for marrying her without showing any mercy, and even marrying her cousin who used to stay at his house to slap her in the face.
Shen Liyue hated He Yinxue even more.
In the past, I was blind and didn't see He Yinxue's true face. She had been so humble and submissive in the past that even when she was right under my nose, I didn't realize it at all.
Chen Liyue clenched her hands tightly. This life has finally been wasted!
As she was thinking, Shen Liyue suddenly felt an external force shaking her, as if calling her to wake up.
"Miss, Miss!" Lian Dong kept shaking the arm of the person on the bed. Seeing that the person's eyelids moved slightly as if he was about to wake up, Yuzhou hurriedly brought a cup of tea and stood aside waiting.
"Is the young lady in a nightmare?" Yuzhou asked softly.
When Shen Liyue opened her eyes, she found that the environment she was in was very different from before she fell into the water. Shen Liyue was stunned for a while, and asked hesitantly: "Are we...are we going back to the Shen Mansion?"
After asking Shen Liyue, she felt something was wrong. The Shen Mansion had been confiscated. Even if it was bought again, it would definitely not be decorated according to the previous owner's preferences. Fortunately, before Shen Liyue figured it out, Lian Dong blinked and said, "Miss, your question is very strange. We have always been in the Shen Mansion."
Shen Liyue closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again and looked around carefully. This was exactly the boudoir she had lived in before she got married. Everything inside was decorated according to her preferences. There was even a wooden puppy carved by her brother for her by the window.
Everything that happened in the past seemed like a dream, but it was too real. Shen Liyue couldn't tell whether it was a dream or it really happened.
"The Shen Mansion... The Shen Mansion is still there? What about my father and mother? And my brother?"
"The master, mistress, and the eldest son have all gone to bed in their rooms," Lian Dong replied. "I wonder if the young lady had a nightmare?"
"I was just sleepy for a moment." Chen Liyue murmured, "What time is it now?"
"Just now, Zi Shi."
"Okay, then I'll sleep a little longer, and you guys can go down and rest too." Shen Liyue closed her eyes.
Lian Dong and Yu Zhou stepped forward, one tucked in the quilt for Chen Liyue, and the other lowered the bed curtain for her.
After the two of them went down, Shen Liyue lay on the bed, her heart full of surprise.
She didn't know why He Yinxue suddenly reached out and pushed her into the water that day, nor did she know what happened to her later, and she didn't know why she had gone back to the past.
Did everything that happened in the past really exist? Or was it just a fantasy in her dream? Shen Liyue couldn't figure it out, and no one could explain it to her.
There was a very bright star passing across the sky, but Shen Liyue in the house did not see it.
It seemed like she hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. When Shen Liyue opened her eyes, it was already noon. Lord Shen came back early from court today. When Shen Liyue heard about it, she hurriedly asked Lian Dong and Yu Zhou to help her wash up.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Shen Liyue looked at herself in the mirror, dressed up, and couldn't help but be stunned. Is this still her?
