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
Madam Luo hurriedly pulled He Danggui out and said, “This is my granddaughter. Last night, she hung out a Broom Woman for Fine Days that my husband, who has been dead, taught her to make. The rain stopped suddenly. However, she did not save the fire.” Madam Luo turned her head to look at He Danggui.He Danggui had to admit, “I did. After I was entrusted by my grandfather in the dream, I came to the ancestral hall, where I saw Second Sister setting fire on something. I called her to stop, but she seemed to be unable to hear nor see me. However, the thing that was buried by her did not catch fire at all. There was only thick smoke there. It went up strangely. Later, with a lot of effort, I managed to draw her away before I watered out the smoke. Then, you and everyone arrived at the ancestral hall and caught her. However, she blamed it on me when she became sober. Madam, I didn’t set the fire.”The smoke last night was a trap for Luo Baiqiong. However,
Run Xiang died with her baby, and Zhang Xian committed suicide for love. He Danggui sighed, “How could the loving couple end like this...”The silence remained for a long while before Bai Yangbai placed his hand on He Danggui’s shoulder. However, she suddenly widened her eyes and screamed, frightening Bai Yangbai to take off his hand.“That’s not right.” He Danggui frowned, “Since Zhang Xian determined to commit suicide, why did he pretend to be the paramour of Sun Meiniang? What’s more, Luo Baishao’s yard caught fire. Did Zhang Xian burn himself there? Why?”Bai Yangbai scratched his cheek in curiosity, “I don’t understand it as well. He was a good man, and he could find prostitutes in the brothel. Why did he choose to follow Run Xiang? I can’t imagine his behavior. I will never be as sad as him because of someone’s death.”“…” He Danggui stared at him, wondering about his plot with Zhang Xian.Under her compel
Meng Xuan comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, it is just a little injury. I was going to change my robe, but I didn’t want to delay it for even one second. I have a feeling that I won’t see you again if I don’t do it now.”“Let me go first.” He Danggui got out of his arms and said anxiously, “I need to check your wound.” She pushed Meng Xuan to the bed and undressed him to examine the injury on his left arm. That was a deep sword cut and was bloody red. Then, He Danggui brought warm water, bandages, and medicine to clean up the wound.After confirming He Dangguiwas fine, Meng Xuan gradually calmed down. Yes, dreams were not reality and nothing happened to her. No one could harm this smart and powerful girl. She would always be fine and warm. A drop of water was still on her eyelashes. Living in this garden full of peach blossoms, spending her days peacefully and counting the colorful falling flowers, she must be happy… However, when would she like to li
