Chapter 384 Wang Xifeng's Nightmare
That night, Daiyu slept very well. It was hard for her not to sleep well as long as Granny Yuan was with her.
However, Wang Xifeng, who was still in her original residence, didn't sleep as well.
Perhaps it was because she had been thinking about it during the day that she dreamed about it at night. They were still talking about Qin Keqing's funeral during the day, and then Wang Xifeng dreamed about her that night.
Wang Xifeng is pregnant and now that she's quite far along in her pregnancy, she has a hard time sleeping at night. However, she took a bath before bed, which relieved her discomfort a little, and she fell asleep quickly tonight.
For the past two years, she has never allowed anyone to keep watch outside the tent at night, especially when Jia Lian is at home, Wang Xifeng is particularly concerned about privacy.
The couple lay in bed, separated by a curtain, while someone half-asleep and half-awake listened to the sounds coming from inside.
Wang Xifeng simply couldn't accept it.
This isn't a movie shoot, with countless people watching her every word and action. This is real life, very real life!
Even though she and Jia Lian were living as husband and wife, someone was still watching them. Wang Xifeng felt that she wasn't that magnanimous.
At first, the maids couldn't understand, but they gradually got used to it over the past two years.
Even now, with her belly swollen, the maidservant closest to her is still separated by a door!
Therefore, no one realized that Wang Xifeng was having a nightmare.
Wang Xifeng felt that as soon as she fell asleep, she vaguely saw a tall, elegant woman. The woman's clothes and attire were not in the current style, but rather resembled the fairy-like attire she wore when filming movies.
When Wang Xifeng looked at the man's profile again, she recognized him even more, but the name was on the tip of her tongue, yet she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Auntie, have you forgotten about me?" the woman said, her voice so alluring that it made one's bones feel weak.
Although Wang Xifeng was a woman, she felt very comfortable upon hearing this voice. This woman called her "Auntie." This was a daughter-in-law of the Cao generation in the Jia family. Whose daughter-in-law had such a character?
Wang Xifeng had a name in her heart, but she couldn't say it. It was as if she had been given a prohibition, and she couldn't utter a single word.
The woman turned around, and Wang Xifeng's prohibition seemed to be lifted. She blurted out...
"Qin Keqing!"
The woman opposite him gave a wry smile.
"My aunt and I are being so formal; she always calls me Rong'er's wife..."
"You...you and Jia Zhen harmed me, do you think I can still treat you the same as before?" Wang Xifeng felt that her answer was correct. That was indeed the case. If she hadn't caught them having an affair, why would she have been hiding with her sister Yuan instead of returning to the Jia family mansion?
Although it was indeed very comfortable for her to stay here with her sister, and she would be happy to stay there for the rest of her life, there was also Jia Lian, and she couldn't bear to part with Jia Lian...
Qin Keqing gave a strange smile.
"Why do you need to pretend anymore? You are not her at all. Jia Zhen did nothing wrong."
Wang Xifeng was startled, but then she suddenly thought: Qin Keqing is already dead, this is at most her ghost coming to visit me in a dream, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng smiled.
"So what if it is or isn't? I've worked so hard for this Rongguo Mansion, I've almost lost my life! I deserve the title of Second Mistress Lian! As for you, you've become someone's son's wife, yet you're still having an affair with your father-in-law! I don't want to associate with someone of your character!"
Qin Keqing didn't care at all.
"Auntie, you are of noble character. I, a person of low morals, am truly unworthy to befriend you. I came to your dream today only because the Heavenly Official repeatedly urged me to deliver a message to you."
"I don't need to listen to those words. Go and be reborn into a better world, and be a person with principles in your next life."
This was the first time Wang Xifeng had ever criticized someone from a moral high ground, and she was momentarily quite pleased with herself.
"Aunt, I know your background very well, but how long can you rely on Lord Yuan? Lord Yuan has her own mission; you are just an accident. If one day you and Fairy Jiangzhu stand on opposite sides, do you think Lord Yuan will help you or her?"
Wang Xifeng felt she could ignore such blatant attempts to sow discord. She tried to wake up from her dream but found herself unable to move and could only watch Qin Keqing spout nonsense.
"You're just jealous. You're jealous of my good relationship with Lin Daiyu, and jealous that I have Yuan Jie's help. You have nothing, yet you think you can seduce your son and attract your father. In reality, you're just a plaything for them. You're literate and know everything, yet you insist on getting into this quagmire. It just shows that you've chosen to degenerate."
Wang Xifeng was completely unceremonious; did she just allow her to spout nonsense? She herself could also speak recklessly!
Something seemed to reopen Qin Keqing's wounds, and she suddenly covered her face and screamed.
"That's not how it is. You know nothing. You're just like them. I thought you were a heroine among women, that those men in official robes and hats were no match for you. But it turns out you're just as shallow. I've misjudged you all along!"
Qin Keqing tried to explain, but Wang Xifeng persisted.
"Hmph, a hero is a hero, why bother with the 'feminine' category! I don't like hearing that! You're dead, so why don't you hurry up and be reborn into a good family instead of coming to reminisce with me? I don't think we have any old feelings to reminisce about! Besides..."
Wang Xifeng paused for a moment, then sneered.
"You've already said I'm not her, I'm an imposter, so go find her and catch up with her. What's the point of coming to me!"
“Now that you are using her body, you are her, so naturally you should come to you about this.”
Qin Keqing paused for a while before speaking again.
"Hehe, your words are contradictory. Just now you said I wasn't her, and now you're saying I am... Alright, just say what you have to say. If you're going to waste time arguing with me, you could have said everything!"
Wang Xifeng said irritably.
Qin Keqing calmed down and slowly began to speak.
"Auntie, as the saying goes..."
"The moon wanes when it is full, and water overflows when it is full!" Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered the details in the original novel about Wang Xifeng that her sister had given her. This particular passage was in the original novel, but she had forgotten it in her haste.
At this moment, she remembered everything and couldn't help but have the idea of teasing Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing's expression didn't change after hearing her say that, and she continued,
"Our family has been prominent for a hundred years now, but if one day our joy turns to sorrow..."
"Can't you wish me something good for me?" Wang Xifeng glared with her phoenix eyes, her expression quite authoritative.
"Isn't there a saying that those who climb high will fall hard, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter? Heh, have you been blind to how much effort I've put in to prevent these monkeys from scattering? Who outside still compares our family to yours these days? What you do is your business, it has nothing to do with us! Even if they confiscate your property, they won't touch us..."
Seeing that she had angered a ghost to the point of near rage, Wang Xifeng whispered something else.
"If things were still the same, why would I replace her?"
