He Danggui was alarmist, “If we don’t get rid of this person, Luo’s Family won’t have descendants!”
“Seriously?” Madam Luo asked in a panic, “Didn’t you just say that we will have some good news soon?”
He Danggui nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, I did under one condition. Grandfather told me that once the person is dealt with, a happy event will happen soon. However, if we cannot handle it, the family won’t have descendants and my grandfather won’t rest in peace in the other world.”
Madam Luo was shocked and asked immediately, “Who is that person?”
He Danggui poked the face of the Sunny Doll and said, “I made this doll following the order from my grandfather. People said that in the northwestern region of ancient times, the wife would hang one doll under the eaves of the house, and let her husband bring another doll with him to wars. The dolls represented the blessings and cares from the wife to the husband. Grandfather misse
Madam Luo was shocked when she heard the words. She stared at He Danggui and asked, “Who told you that?”“All servants said so, and I can’t remember who was the first. They said that Bao Qin Ge is a poison storehouse with countless harmful things and torturing instruments.” He Danggui learned the trick of “rumors” from Sun Meiniang. At least, she didn’t wrong Sun Meiniang. Moreover, it was done to eliminate the villain of Luo’s Family. Without the vermin Sun Meiniang, the whole family could be refreshed.He Danggui smiled and said, “The proudest medicine of Second Aunt is called ‘Jiu Cao Soup’. Whoever drinks it would be sterilized. No one would even notice it.”“Jiu Cao Soup?” Madam Luo was pale, “What is that?”He Danggui explained, “It is a medicine soup made from nine kinds of non-toxic herbs with contradictory medicinal properties. Though the soup is tested non-toxic, it will cause terrible consequences once it gets int
“Isn’t she?” Miss Ji was surprised.“Is that so?” Madam Luo looked at He Danggui.“Well, why not let her answer the question?” He Danggui suggested, “I guess that she was forced by Second Aunt. Once Second Aunt loses her power, Concubine Hua will definitely come out to testify, because she is also a victim.”A few days ago, when He Danggui was in her meditation, Xiaoyou told her through the window that Childe Feng had come to him and told him that Concubine Hua was smirking and talking nonsense in front of people. She even knocked over a table filled with delicacies. However, when everyone was gone, she opened the bed sheets and ate the food hidden in them. She also squashed leftover food and threw it among the dishes on the floor.He Danggui immediately concluded that Concubine Hua was not insane. On the contrary, she was a very smart person. She wanted to reduce her threats to Sun Meiniang and made the latter be less wary
Sun Meiniang was in a nap at Bao Qin Ge when Luo Chuangu went to the kitchen to check the tonic. Suddenly, a maid came to report that Luo Chuanxiong had been “escorted” back from Sanqing Temple, and Madam Luo wanted Sun Meiniang to watch the interrogation. So, Sun Meiniang’s closest maid awakened her master. Sun Meiniang was still drowsy yet and was a bit strange about the reason why Luo Chuanxiong came back so quickly. However, the excitement finally diluted the suspicion. Before waiting for Luo Chuangu to come back, she hurriedly put on an outer garment and rushed to the ancestral hall.As soon as she entered the hall, Sun Meiniang became confused. The hall was empty! Usually, the interrogation would convene a large number of listeners. She slowed down and walked into it, and the door suddenly closed automatically. All windows were sealed and were covered with tents. The room was immersed in darkness. It was weird and creepy. Sun Meiniang was frightened. What h
Sun Meiniang turned her head in horror, but something covered her face. She quickly ripped it away and shouted to the sky, “Somebody! Free me! I will reward you!”But at the moment when she raised her face, another thing fell on her face. That was a piece of fabric with milky fragrance. She let out a short scream and rushed forward. Her face was constantly bumping into all kinds of stuff. She held her head and jumped up. However, something underneath was pulling her skirt from every direction. She struggled to get off but failed. Then, a baby’s voice sounded, “Mom, he tore your skirt!”Another baby’s voice said, “No, it was him!”“Waa—” A baby’s crying came from the left.“Ahh—” Another baby’s scream came from the right.A voice in the front said, “Your skirt is torn!”A voice behind said, “Mom, your tummy is warm. I want to lie in there!”Sun Meiniang almost passed out.Th
Volume 7 Long may the love liveSun Meiniang woke from a coma. There was still severe pain in the broken tongue. She looked up and saw the plaque above the ancestral hall. Before she could figure out the situation, two maids knocked her head to the threshold. Sun Meiniang was frightened and terrified. She wanted to curse loudly but couldn’t say a complete sentence. Those babbling sounds made Madam Luo upset, so she ordered, “Gag her!”Therefore, Sun Meiniang was forced by two sturdy maids to kowtow on the threshold. After only a dozen strokes, her forehead turned red and swollen. After twenty strokes, her head started to bleeding, “Boom! Boom! Boom!” The blood was splashing, and Madam Luo was disgusted when she saw it. So, she turned her back and only listened to the sound.However, He Danggui was unwilling to only listen to the sound. Lying on a temporary bed, she silently turned around to face the door and saw Sun Meiniang knocking hea
The note with Run Xiang’s death scene and her last words fell off from a window when He Danggui opened it to call Chan Yi to bring her some porridge. She didn’t know who put it there, nor did she know the person’s intention. However, she was deeply sad for Run Xiang and intended to seek justice for her.She heard that Run Xiang was an orphan and had a bad relationship with other servants and maids. Run Xiang’s lover, Zhang Xian, was the only one close to Run Xiang. He Danggui wondered who sent her the note. Did the person want to redress an injustice for Run Xiang or set up her?He Danggui was still confused, but it was not important anymore. Anyway, Sun Meiniang’s life was almost over. Even if she could survive, in the long years to come, except for the water well in Bitter Bamboo Grove, she couldn’t go anywhere. Without Sun Meiniang’s protection, Luo Baiqiong would soon meet her sad fate. That would be exciting!“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The
To become a good woman? He Danggui was silent for a moment when she heard the words. After she revenged herself on Sun Meiniang, should she stop? Luo Chuangu and Luo Baiqiong were her grandfather’s offspring. Should she forget the grudges in her previous life? Would she go astray by giving her enemies what they deserved?Meng Ying, as an offspring of 56th generation of Mencius, really liked to preach benevolence and righteousness. She almost shook her faith a little. He didn’t know anything at all! How dared he judge her? He only knew the outcome instead of the cause.Meng Ying asked, “Miss He, what do you think? Master Duan will take care of your kid and you.”He Danggui sighed and then put her right hand on her left wrist, trying to feel the pulse. She said seriously, “The qi and blood circulated normally in pericardium channel, lung channel, and gallbladder channel. The pulse is smooth without any signs of pregnancy. Instead of a none
“What are you looking at?” Madam Luo lifted her drooping eyelids.Miss Ji stepped forward to check the boxes. Then, she instructed two servants to take out the four wooden boxes and put them on the ground in a line. Those boxes were outdated in appearance and were in different sizes. The biggest one was three to four inches long, and the smallest one was less than two inches long. People nearby could sense the smell of rot from them.At the time, Pu Gongying rushed into the hall and whispered to Madam Luo’s ears. Madam Luo rolled her eyes and then nodded, “Let them in.”Pu Gongying beckoned, and two people dressed as Taoist priests came in. They stood at the door obediently. Obviously, they had been taught the rules early. Both of them bowed their heads and waited for Madam to ask questions. Miss Ji glanced at Sun Meiniang who was lying on the ground in messy clothes and asked Madam Luo in a low voice, “There are twelve kowtows left. Sho
