Song Luan lay on the bed with lifeless eyes. Even though a whole day had passed, her mind was still confused.
Time goes back to a day ago, when she stayed up all night to finish reading a book called "Powerful Ministers". The book suddenly appeared on the website, integrating the routine of the upgrade flow of cool articles into a masterpiece, and swept all the major female charts.
Song Luan read the book of more than two million words with great gusto. After reading more than half of it, her eyelids started to fight each other. She couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she had encountered the legendary time travel and had become the wife of the hero in the book.
The original owner did not appear much in the book, only in a few chapters. Her final ending was quite tragic. She was burned to death in a fire. It was her husband who set the fire, and it was her son who locked the door.
When Song Luan thought of this, he felt unwell.
"Madam, it's already 9 o'clock." The maid bent over and spoke cautiously, with her head lowered as if she was very afraid of her.
Song Luan sighed heavily, cleared her throat, and said, "You guys go out first. I don't need you to serve me."
The two maids, as if they had been pardoned, bent over and quickly retreated from the room.
Song Luan knew why they were afraid of her. The original owner deserved to die tragically. Her father was a favorite of the emperor and a favored fourth-rank official. Although the original owner's mother was a concubine, she was spoiled since childhood. She learned many bad habits from her mother. She was mean to servants, made friends with snobbish people, and relied on her beauty to insult other concubines in the mansion.
However, the original owner was very beautiful, with fair skin, beautiful face and big breasts. Ever since she came of age, she wanted to marry a high-ranking official.
The male protagonist had just won the third place in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy. He came to visit the Song family. The original owner was framed by her sister. The two were fed drugs and fell into the same bed. If this matter was made public, it would damage the reputation of both families. There was no choice but for the two families to get married.
The hero, Zhao Nanyu, is just a bastard in the Zhao family. He is not favored by his grandmother and father. His life is not easy. He has no power and is bullied by his brothers. The only thing he has is that he has a good appearance, delicate features, and a temperament as white as jade and as clear as the breeze and bright moon. He is also a gentleman.
Before the marriage, the original owner was ridiculed by the sisters she had bullied before. She was already dissatisfied with the marriage, and now she was even more dissatisfied!
After getting married, her temper became worse and worse in the Zhao family. She would beat and scold the servants at will, and she was never nice to her husband Zhao Nanyu. But not long after, she became pregnant. Of course, this woman only sees money and power, and she is extremely displeased with her son. As long as Zhao Nanyu is not at home, she will point at the child and scold him when she is in a bad mood, and will even pinch him when she is extremely angry.
The original owner was so bold that she dressed very gorgeously to seduce royal nobles. Zhao Nanyu ignored her words and actions, so she became even more unscrupulous.
Thinking of this, Song Luan frowned tightly. It is the truth that if you don't do it, you will die.
She got out of bed, put on her clothes, and went to the outer room to wash up. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Song Luan was still in a trance for a while. The original owner looked exactly like her. When she was reading the book, she felt very happy when the original owner died, but now she couldn't laugh anymore.
Speaking of Zhao Nanyu, although he is still an unknown person, not favored or powerful, with a low-key and gentle style, and like a warm breeze to everyone, in fact, this person is a ruthless character.
He was a smiling but dagger hidden in his heart. He gradually eliminated the obstacles in his career. He even smiled when killing people with his own hands. All those who bullied and insulted him died a miserable death.
Moreover, Zhao Nanyu was extremely vengeful and would not let go of any servant who had bullied him when he was five or six years old.
Such a male protagonist who will avenge his grudges and kill people without spilling blood will naturally not give a good ending to the original owner who betrayed him and almost cheated on him.
He rose to higher positions, controlled the government, and had absolute power in the Daliang Kingdom.
The maids lowered their heads and began to serve the dishes. It was time for lunch. Song Luan glanced at the dishes on the table. There were a few light vegetarian dishes, a crystal clear pork elbow, and a bowl of West Lake beef soup. They looked very appetizing.
Song Luan swallowed and gradually felt hungry.
She sat on the chair, picked up the chopsticks and tasted her favorite spring bamboo shoots. They tasted so good that she unconsciously ate two more bites.
The maid standing by the side was still shaking a little. After struggling for a long time, she stood up and said with a stiff upper lip: "Madam, the young master is weak and I'm afraid he can't go without two meals."
Song Luan was stunned, "What?!"
Seeing that she looked okay, the maid boldly continued, "Have you forgotten? Yesterday morning you punished the young master by not allowing him to eat for the whole day. He was hungry last night, so I'm afraid he can't be hungry again this morning."
Fearing that she would not agree, the maid brought Zhao Quan out again, "If the master hears about this when he returns home, he will probably get angry."
Zhao Nanyu loved this child very much.
Song Luan really didn’t know what was going on! It goes without saying that it must have been a good deed done by the original owner before she traveled through time and space. She really didn't even let a child go, let alone her own son.
The child born to the original owner and Zhao Nanyu is named Zhao Shi, who is four years old this year. He lives with his father in the front yard most of the time. He is only taken to the backyard when Zhao Nanyu is away from home.
Song Luan immediately lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks. "Go and bring Shige over here."
The maid was surprised and happy, afraid that she would change her mind, "Yes, I will go right away."
Zhao Nanyu was sent out of Beijing some time ago and has been away for more than half a month. Counting the days, he will be back in the next two days. Thinking of meeting the male protagonist soon, Song Luan's heart is still trembling. She doesn't know if it is too late to please him now. After all, this man will be a high-ranking official in the future.
Not to mention trying to please, at least don't offend.
The maid quickly brought a little boy to the inner room. It was chilly in spring, and Yu Ge'er was wearing very thin clothes, a red round-necked shirt and a pair of red boots. His skin was as white as snow, his eyes were black, and his pupils were very deep. When they entered the room, he let go of the maid's hand with an expressionless face and refused to let her hold his hand anymore.
Shi Ge'er lowered his eyebrows, walked to Song Luan respectfully, and bowed, "Mother, how are you?"
Zhao Shi's facial features were like his parents', without any flaws, he was as handsome as ice and snow. Song Luan had never seen a child more handsome than him in her life. Maybe because he was still young, he still had some flesh on his cheeks, which made him look not only handsome but also very cute.
But his body looks thinner than other children of the same age, making people want to hold him in their arms and love him dearly.
Song Luan wanted to reach out and hug him, but she was afraid that she would scare the child if she acted rashly. She tried to put on a gentle smile and said to him, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?"
Shige seemed to be stunned for a moment, his mouth was tightly tightened, and his brows were furrowed as if he was thinking seriously. After a while, he politely replied with one word, "Yes."
As a single young woman who lives in a otaku lifestyle, Song Luan has no experience in raising children, nor does she know how to get along with children. However, she still understands the principle of gradual progress. She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of crystal pork elbow for Shi Ge'er, "This is delicious."
Then she looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Shi Ge'er felt something strange, as if something was different about his mother today. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, mother."
The mother and son sat at the same table and ate in silence. After Song Luan had finished eating, she looked at him quietly and found that the pork elbow in his bowl was still untouched.
Song Luan was a little discouraged. It seemed that their mother-son relationship was worse than she had imagined.
After eating and drinking, the servants immediately cleared the dishes and chopsticks from the table. The three-year-old Shi Ge'er sat in his seat with a stern face and said nothing.
Song Luan sighed repeatedly in her heart, and she suddenly stretched out her hand towards him, which scared Shi Ge'er.
He leaned back and almost fell to the ground, but luckily Song Luan was quick to catch him.
She held the child in her arms and stroked his back with her delicate hands, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Zhao Shi frowned, his expression serious. He originally thought that he would be very disgusted by the light fragrance on her body, but unexpectedly found that it turned out that his mother's scent was quite pleasant and a little warm, as if it could make people feel at ease.
Song Luan didn't get a response. She looked him up and down and found that he had wounds on his arms and a small scratch on his forehead. She guessed that these were done by the original owner.
She really couldn't understand how the original owner could have the heart to kill such a cute child! ? No food yet! ? It's really like there's water in his brain and he has a bubble in his brain.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something when someone came in and said, "Madam, the young master's teacher is here and said it's time to practice calligraphy."
Shi Ge'er came back to his senses and withdrew from her arms without leaving a trace, "Mother, I'm going to my uncle's place first."
His teacher is his uncle.
Song Luan couldn't stop him, so she lowered her body and poked his cheek with her finger, "Go!"
Shi Ge'er's fair face turned red, then returned to normal and he walked out of the room.
The gentleman outside the door waited for a long time. The young man picked him up and touched his head. He glanced at Huaishuiju with a cold look in his eyes and asked, "Your mother didn't beat you today, did she?"
Shi Ge'er put his head on his shoulder and shook his head, "No."
His face showed some childishness, and his voice was no longer as cold as before, but a babyish voice, "Uncle, I think she seems different today than before."
She would smile at him, pick food for him, and even hug him.
The man snorted coldly, "You must be thinking of doing something bad again."
When Shige heard this, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and a pair of small hands tightly hooked around his neck, "I miss my dad."
"He will be back tonight."
In the Zhao Mansion, not only Shi Ge'er missed his father Zhao Nanyu.
Song Luan also thought of this man. She had been lying on the couch to rest after eating. Suddenly, she sat up like a fish, muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's over..."
Song Luan suddenly remembered that the original owner in the book was not only burned to death, but from the second year after their marriage, Zhao Nanyu quietly began to give her a chronic poison in an attempt to kill her.
Counting the days, her body has been infected by the poison for three years. She doesn't know if it's too late to save herself now...
