Chapter 1 Rebirth into the Mansion
Chu Ruohan is reborn
The sounds of congratulations and gongs and drums were intertwined all around, and the front of Anyang Marquis' Mansion was extremely lively.
When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was bright red, just like the blood she had vomited before she died.
"The bride steps over the fire basin, and the couple's love is unquestionable."
Listening to the familiar words around her ears, countless noisy laughter hit her mind, and distant memories instantly flooded into her heart. She was back to the day when she married Gu Chengan.
God couldn't stand what the Gu family did, so he let her, a lonely ghost, come and claim her life.
In her previous life, she happily married into the Gu family, but her new husband died suddenly on the wedding day. She was branded with the stigma of being a husband-killer and suffered humiliation. Her mother-in-law abused her and set rules to torture her every day. The servants in the Gu family even took pleasure in beating and scolding her.
Her parents died tragically because of her, her sister couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the river to commit suicide, and her brother, in order to save her from the Gu family's hell, had his legs broken and was thrown into a dilapidated temple to die miserably.
She was given to the powerful by her brother-in-law to play with, and only found out at her death that Gu Chengan had faked his death...
"Miss, Miss...it's time to jump over the fire basin." The maid Yuling reminded in a low voice. There are so many people watching, the young lady cannot make any mistakes!
Chu Ruohan retracted her slightly raised legs, and her two maids who came with her looked at each other in confusion. What happened to the young lady?
Just when everyone thought that the bride was going to break off the engagement, a servant from the Anyang Marquis's Mansion stumbled over.
"Oh no, oh no, my Lord, the Second Young Master has passed away."
The two elders of the Gu family who were sitting in the wedding hall were both shocked.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?"
The servant knelt on the ground and cried, "My Lord, My Lord, the Second Young Master, he is really dead, please go and see him."
Marquis Anyang was stunned. Tang Rong had been serving Cheng'an personally since he was a child. He had no reason and no courage to deceive him at this time.
Don’t you want your head anymore?
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu felt dizzy and swayed. If it weren't for the quick-witted maid beside her, she would have collapsed to the ground. Her eyes were filled with fear and disbelief, and her lips trembled as she uttered, "No... No, my son..."
As he spoke, he was about to run towards Sui Jin Xuan, his steps were staggering, without any trace of his former grace.
Anyang Houqiang said in a hoarse voice but tried to speak steadily: "Everyone, something unexpected happened today. I hope you can forgive me. Please go back first." After that, he bowed deeply to everyone and left.
Those who came to congratulate looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that such a good marriage was going to turn into a funeral?
"Miss, what should we do?"
The sudden change made the bridesmaid and the people who were sending the bride panic. Should they enter the Gu Mansion or not?
Chu Ruoju raised his head and looked at the empty wedding hall with a mocking smile.
There was a sound of crying in the groom's room. Gu's mother threw herself on Gu Cheng'an's bed, tears of grief running down her delicate face.
"Cheng'an, why did you die? How could your mother bear it?"
The cries and screams made the eyes of everyone around them red.
Chu Ruohan stepped into the room and looked through the crowd. The man on the bed had his eyes closed and his face was as pale as paper. He looked like he was dead.
All the misery in her previous life was caused by Gu Cheng'an. He didn't want to marry her and just broke off the engagement, but he faked his death to escape, leaving her, a weak woman, in the spotlight.
When the Marquis saw Chu Ruohan, she acted as if she saw an enemy. Her eyes were bloodshot and she angrily shouted, "It's all your fault, you wicked woman! You've killed my son."
Chu Ruohan looked at this familiar scene and couldn't help but sneer.
When Yuling heard the Marquis's slander against her young lady, she couldn't help but retort, "My young lady hasn't even been married yet, and the Second Young Master Gu died. It's clear that you deliberately concealed his illness in order to deceive her into marriage."
"Bitch, my young master has always been in good health. It's clearly your young lady who has brought misfortune upon her husband."
Nanny Wang, who was beside Hou Gu's mother, reached out her hand to hit Yuling.
Chu Ruohan grabbed her directly. In the previous life, Yuling defended her and was beaten up by this old man.
This old thing bullied her a lot later, and Yuling died at her hands. Thinking of this, Chu Ruohan's eyes were filled with hatred.
Nanny Wang was frightened by Chu Ruohan. Why was the eldest daughter of the Chu family so terrifying?
Her eyes look like she wants to kill someone?
Nanny Wang pulled her hand back with all her strength and took several steps back before she regained her balance.
When Mother Gu saw that the people around her had suffered at the hands of Chu Ruohan, she rushed over angrily.
"You bitch, give me back my son's life..."
Chu Ruohan had already expected this, and when Gu's mother was about to reach her, she dodged to the side, and because of the force of her habit, Gu's mother fell to the ground.
In her previous life, she was beaten by her hair, and Mother Gu vented all her grief over losing her son on her.
Living again, you still want to beat her?
How could she suffer again? Absolutely not.
Chu Ruohan looked at the Marquis' wife on the ground with contempt, and said word by word: "The person is dead, please accept my condolences."
When Gu Chengyan saw his mother fall to the ground, he quickly stepped forward to help her up and stared at Chu Ruohan angrily.
"Since you have married into the Anyang Marquisate, how can you be so disrespectful to your mother-in-law?"
"I haven't even gotten married yet, how can I be considered married?"
Chu Ruohan's sharp gaze met Gu Chengyan's face, the face she would never forget until her death.
Gu Cheng'an's younger brother, the third son of Anyang Marquis's Mansion.
He is the most sinister and cunning person in the entire Marquis' Mansion. In his previous life, countless conspiracies and tricks were born from behind his seemingly gentle face.
Time and time again, he forced her to climb onto the man's bed and torture her...
Mother Gu grabbed Gu Chengyan's sleeve, pointed at Chu Ruohan, and cried, "Let this bitch be buried with Cheng'an, let her be buried with him..."
Mother Gu was so grief-stricken and furious that she fainted before she could finish her words.
The wedding hall was completely transformed into a mourning hall, and the heroine was still wearing her wedding dress, which seemed out of place.
The servants of Anyang Marquis Mansion stopped Chu Ruohan and said, "Our Madam said that the Chu family's wedding procession can go back, but the eldest daughter of the Chu family cannot leave."
Chu Ruohan had never thought about leaving. She couldn't avoid this marriage, and she couldn't afford to avoid it.
She looked at Gu Cheng'an lying in the coffin.
In this life, don’t expect me to wear mourning clothes for you.
The sun sets and night falls
The Marquis' wife fainted three times from crying because she couldn't bear the pain of losing her son. The Marquis of Anyang was also in tears, but he still needed to take care of the affairs of his son after his death in such a large mansion.
"Dad, Mom, you are old, go back and rest first, and leave this to your son." Gu Chengyan persuaded.
"I won't leave. I want to stay with An'er." There was a determination in the Marquis's eyes. It was the last protection a mother could give to her child.
Gu Chengyan's brows were furrowed, and he was extremely anxious. He had to let his parents leave first, otherwise the subsequent plans would not be able to proceed.
"Mom, I'm really heartbroken to see you like this. I'll send you back first and then come back to look after my second brother."
The Marquis's wife wanted to insist, but she heard the Marquis say, "Chengyan is also very filial. Let's go back first."
The Marquis's wife took a look at the mourning hall and was helped away by Gu Chengyan.
Chu Ruohan watched the servants of the Marquis' Mansion leave one after another, leaving her alone just like in her previous life.
Gu Cheng'an
You like to play dead, right? Then today she will send him to hell herself.
