Chapter 8 Resurrection
To this day, Sun Wei still thinks about his past life from time to time.
Or in other words, things in the future.
Especially Sima Jun's cold body in her arms.
Finally, the fire consumed him and her as well.
At that moment, she thought it was all over.
But she didn't.
After being burned by the flames, she felt as if she had had a long and painful dream.
When I woke up, I was already back to seven years ago.
At that time, she was still in the remote Lingnan town of Anning. Her family had not yet moved north to Jiankang to join their Sun clan. She and Sima Jun had not yet met.
When she realized that everything was about to start over again, Sun Wei was so happy that she burst into tears.
In her previous life, before she died, she prayed that if there was an afterlife, they would owe each other nothing and would live in peace.
But if she knew that Xuan Dynasty would be destroyed in seven years, would she still watch Sima Jun die?
She won't fall into the same pit twice.
She wanted to change everything, not only for Sima Jun, but also for herself.
After careful consideration, she promised herself seven years. If Sima Jun was still well after seven years, she would leave. This could be considered as making up for her debt to Sima Jun in her previous life.
She often wondered what would have happened if she had not married Sima Jun in her previous life?
What would happen if he didn't even go to the Sun family in Jiankang?
All the injustices started from that time.
Although Sun Wei was born in the remote southern town of Anning, his ancestors were not unknown.
The Sun family originated from Wu County and was a prominent family in Jiangzuo.
When Emperor Yuan fled south, his great-grandfather, Sun Xuan, led the charge to welcome him. Later, Emperor Yuan established the Huilong reign and made Jiankang his capital. Sun Xuan, recognized for his support, was granted the title of Marquis of Huaian County. His two sons, Sun Yu and Sun Xiu, also secured official positions at court. However, just four years later, the Sun family was implicated by Sima Hu, Prince of Luling, and implicated. To protect his family, Sun Yu took the blame and was ultimately exiled to Anning City in Gaoliang Commandery in the south.
After Sun Yu was exiled, the Sun family viewed him as a scourge, fearing they would be implicated. During his five years in exile, no one showed any concern or concern.
Sun Yu had long since seen through the fickleness of the world. After serving his sentence, he did not return to Jiankang, but stayed in Anning, serving as a low-ranking official under the governor of Gaoliang. He married and had children there, including a son, Sun Nian, and later granddaughters, Sun Wei, and grandson, Sun Qiao.
The two boys in the family, Sun Nian and Sun Qiao, are mediocre in talent, but the granddaughter Sun Wei is quite smart.
Since childhood, Sun Wei grew up in the praise of everyone.
She is a beautiful woman with a smart mind and is very likable.
Especially my grandfather Sun Yu.
He valued Sun Wei very much and personally taught her to read and write, and to answer her questions. While other girls were busy learning needlework, Sun Wei could compete with others in poetry and prose, quoting classics and expressing the truth in her writing.
My mother once complained that it was useless for a girl to study, saying that if she couldn't become a scholar or be selected as a filial and honest official, then what was the point? But my grandfather disagreed, saying that his granddaughter would become a dragon and phoenix among men.
Sun Wei, having inherited Sun Yu's true teachings, behaves and speaks differently from her peers. She knows that the peaceful town cannot hold her back, and one day, she will explore the wider world.
In the 12th year of Jianyang, Sun Yu died of illness. Without his salary, the Sun family was left with financial difficulties and even struggled to make ends meet. Sun Yu had anticipated this situation, so before his death, he left a letter asking Sun Nian to take the whole family to seek refuge with his uncle Sun Xiu in Jiankang.
In the 13th year of Jianyang, Sun Wei and his sister left An Ning with their parents and came to the longed-for Jiankang.
