Thirty-five years of hard work
General's Mansion Backyard
A handsome man was lying on the bed, with gauze wrapped around his head and blood oozing out of it.
Jiang Sheng opened his eyes quickly. What kind of eyes were those? The hatred was as deep as the abyss, which made people shudder.
He glanced down and saw that the bones of his ten fingers were as clear as jade. He was obviously a pampered nobleman, not his disabled, rotten and dirty hands.
A lotus mark on the palm of his hand caught his eye and he frowned slightly. He remembered that he had never had any birthmark on the palm of his hand. What was this?
He subconsciously reached out and rubbed it, his eyes flashed before his eyes and he subconsciously closed his eyes, and the whole person disappeared on the spot.
Jiang Sheng opened his eyes again and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings in surprise.
Where is he?
It's just a dream.
Standing by a pool of water, I looked around. On the left was an open space with white gravel, on the right was black soil, and in the middle of the pool were a few lotus flowers.
His intuition told him that the water was a good thing.
He walked over, scooped up some water from the pond and took a sip. He felt relaxed all over, even the wound on his head felt better, so he removed the gauze.
The figure reflected in the pool's water had a wound on its head that healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Jiang Sheng couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally calmed down. He murmured, "Am I... reborn? Then this place must be the Lingquan space mentioned in the storybook."
"It's simply unbelievable. I never thought there would be such a bizarre thing in the world."
God must have given him a chance to start over because he saw how miserable the Jiang family was in his previous life. Thinking of the scenes from his previous life, his eyes turned bloodshot and the deep hatred was about to overwhelm him.
A gust of wind blew and I couldn't help shivering.
Jiang Sheng regained some clarity of mind, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said solemnly, "Thank you for the gift, Immortal. I will never let my family repeat the same mistakes in this life."
After three bows and nine kowtows, he drank several mouthfuls of the pond water.
When he was about to go to the bamboo house to take a look, he heard the voice of the servant Xiaozhu. He appeared on the bed with gauze wrapped on his head.
Xiao Zhu pushed the door open with water in his hand and saw that he was awake. He was surprised and said, "Master, you are finally awake. I was so worried and my head still hurts."
Jiang Sheng stared at him steadily, his eyes distant and unfamiliar, and a little uncertain: "Xiao Zhu, what year is it now?"
With a bang, Xiao Zhu fell to the ground after hearing this.
His face turned pale, and he looked very nervous: "It is the third day of the third month of the thirty-fifth year. Did you fall and lose your memory? I will go find a doctor right away."
Jiang Sheng's mind raced, and long-lost memories came back to him.
He remembered that he had hit his head in his previous life because he lost a bet and missed a step, and fell on his head. After the accident, his good friends never came to see him once.
"Stop, there's no need to call a doctor. I'm just... a little confused. Come here and tell me in detail."
After one stick of incense
Jiang Sheng understood the situation clearly and confirmed that he was reborn, and was reborn at this critical juncture, when his father and brother had not yet died in the battle.
There is still time for everything.
There is still hope for the General's Mansion!
Recalling that in my previous life, the news of my father and brother's death reached the capital in mid-April. It was the most desperate day in the general's mansion. My grandmother was so shocked that she vomited blood and passed away soon after.
The almighty emperor did not let go of the elderly, the weak, women and children in the general's mansion. He found letters of treason in the study and directly issued an imperial decree to punish the general's mansion and exile the entire family to the northern border.
What he was doing at that time was looking for evidence to prove that the General's Mansion had not colluded with the enemy and that everything was a slander. It seems so ridiculous to think about it now.
This was all a setup by the emperor, the facts don’t matter at all!
Jiang Sheng sorted it out in chronological order. It took half a month from the battlefield to the general's mansion, which means that his father and brother had not died in the battle at this time.
He had to arrange matters in the capital as quickly as possible and go to the battlefield to inform his father and brother that the battle of Tianlang Mountain was a trap and he could not go.
Now, the only one who can protect the general's mansion is my grandmother. If I tell her about my rebirth, since she is a royal princess, will she really stand on the side of the general's mansion?
If his grandmother chose to protect the royal family, his rebirth would be a joke and in the end nothing would be changed.
But if he didn't tell her and didn't have his grandmother's cooperation, it would be wishful thinking for him to leave the capital.
Should I take a gamble?
Seeing his master deep in thought, Xiao Zhu stood quietly by the side, not daring to make a sound. When his master woke up, he felt very strange, and his eyes were really scary.
Jiang Sheng closed his eyes and weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to take a gamble. As long as his grandmother was alive, the women and children in the general's mansion could survive. Now he had no choice but to take a gamble.
If they win the bet, the Jiang family will have a chance to turn things around. If they lose...
He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, then asked in a deep voice, "Is grandma here?"
Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, "My Lord, the old lady is in the Buddhist hall. I will help you over there."
Jiang Sheng waved his hand and said coldly, "No need, I can go by myself. You stay in the yard. I'll go see grandma."
He quickly walked to the old lady's yard and entered the Buddhist hall. Looking at his grandmother who was copying scriptures, he thought of his grandmother in his previous life vomiting blood and dying.
When the old lady heard the noise, she looked up and saw her little grandson crying silently. The sadness and pain in his eyes made her heart ache.
Ci Ai said, "Xiao San, come here, Grandmother. Are you scared after falling down the stairs this time? Don't gamble again. A good man should not be addicted to gambling..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Sheng threw himself into her arms, his suppressed sobs making people sad. The old lady couldn't bear to blame him.
She had seven sons in her life, six of whom died on the battlefield. She was left with only one little grandson. She endured the pain of separation from her family all her life, and inevitably spoiled her little grandson a little.
Patting him on the back gently, she said lovingly, "Look at you, a man who is almost coming of age. How can you still be crying? People will laugh at you if they see you."
The nanny laughed and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid you're really scared this time. You've never cried before."
"Hey, Qiuxiang, please step back and close the door, otherwise Xiao San will come to her senses and say that she has lost face again."
"Yes, I will withdraw now."
The sound of a door closing was heard, and only the grandfather and grandson were left in the Buddhist hall. Jiang Sheng seemed to want to cry out all the humiliation he had suffered in his past life at once.
After calming down, my eyes became red and swollen again.
The old lady took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently, her face full of love: "What's wrong, Xiaosan? You cried so sadly this time. Grandma has never seen you like this before."
Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and looked at her intently.
"Grandma, I want to ask you a question. Can you tell me the truth?"
"If one day the Jiang family is loyal and devoted, but the emperor is wary and intolerant, not only will he kill the Jiang family on the battlefield, but he will also slander them under the pretext of collaborating with the enemy."
"...They took the opportunity to exterminate the entire Jiang family, not even sparing the elderly, the weak, women, and children. Will you choose to occupy the royal family or stand on the side of the Jiang family?"
The old lady frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Xiao San, how can you say such things casually? Don't you know that disaster comes from the mouth? You usually act like a playboy, but how can you say such things casually?"
Jiang Sheng smiled bitterly, with lingering pain in his eyes.
