C2 Rebirth
"I remember that the old master only married her because of the inheritance of the Wen family." Hui Lan wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Ye Yuning mockingly. "But the old master couldn't find it even after two years. It must be a lie that the Lady Wen made up."
Ye Yuying looked at Hui Lan and said, "It must be."
Ye Yuning could not believe it. It turned out that Fu Ranzhi's love, his father's and mother's death, and the harmonious relationship between his sisters were all a trap and a scheme.
"Take her closer to the pond!" Ye Yuying glanced at her and ordered the woman.
Ye Yuning was frightened. "What are you doing?"
The woman ignored her and pushed her to the ground. Ye Yuying walked towards her and smiled coldly as she pressed her face down.
"I'll send you to hell!"
With that one sentence, the slender white hand pressed her into the water.
Before she could react, the water poured into her mouth and nose, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Her body became lighter and lighter. The hazy scene in front of her finally turned into endless darkness.
Her father, her mother...
The wind shook the trees, and the rustling of the leaves could be heard.
The woman on the bed was motionless as if she had died. Her breathing was extremely weak.
"Phew …" The woman suddenly sat up and tightly gripped the clothes on her chest. Countless scenes flashed through her mind.
The scene was like the various lanterns that were set up in the middle of July, illuminating countless men and women entangled in love. As the woman breathed heavily, she saw the long and painful life of Ye Yuning, who was the Ye Family's legitimate daughter in her previous life.
The chaos in her eyes gradually returned to clarity. After seeing the curtains and decorations in front of her, Ye Yuning's eyes flashed with astonishment, and her eyebrows knitted tightly together. Her heart throbbed in pain, and she could not help but cry out in pain, "Ah!"
"What happened to the young miss?" A maidservant at the corner of the room heard her cry out in pain and suddenly got up. She anxiously lit a candle and walked to Ye Yuning's bedside. She lifted the curtain and bent down to look at her.
"Fei Xiu?" Ye Yuning raised her eyes to look at the maidservant in pain and was shocked.
This shock seemed to have caused the aura that was wandering in her heart to find the right direction. The pain in her internal organs gradually calmed down.
"I am Fei Xiu. What happened to the young miss?" The maidservant called Fei Xiu was puzzled by Ye Yuning's question, but after she asked a question, she was even more worried about the situation of the woman in front of her. "Did the young miss have a nightmare? Or is there something wrong with her body?"
"I … I'm fine." Ye Yuning slowly released her hand that was tightly clenching her lapels and asked, "I am in... the Ye Residence?"
"Young miss, you really fell asleep. This is the Ye Residence. Otherwise, what else could it be?" Fei Xiu laughed bitterly, "Young miss must have been scared out of her wits by the proposal this morning. That Li Changle is also a shameless person. He only thought about the young miss after his wife died. No matter what, the young miss is still the legitimate daughter of our Ye Residence."
Hearing Fei Xiu's long list of words, Ye Yuning quietly stared at Fei Xiu for a while, then slowly lowered her eyebrows and said to Fei Xiu, "I just dreamed of some bad things. Go to sleep. Let me stay here for a while. The candle will light up, so don't put it out."
Fei Xiu stared at her. She felt that something was wrong with Ye Yuning's behavior, but after looking up and down, she still put down the curtain and said, "Then Miss should rest early. Don't read books. Studying at this time is not good for your eyes." After returning to the small bed in the room, Fei Xiu covered herself with a thin blanket and lay down. Before she went to bed, she still worriedly shouted to her, "Miss, if there's anything, just tell Fei Xiu. Fei Xiu is here."
"Alright."
Ye Yuning nodded. She looked at Fei Xiu flipping over and facing the wall. She slowly opened her fist that was tightly clenched into a fist. Seeing the wet palm, she buried her face into her palm and closed her eyes. Her breathing was heavy and long.
She was reborn … She was actually reborn …
In her previous life, Fu Ranzhi had colluded with her maid Hui Lan and her cousin sister, Ye Yuying, to harm the Ye Residence. She did not know how to defend herself, and in the end, the Ye Residence was ruined in the chaotic situation of Chang An. After she lost her backer, Fu Ranzhi thought that she was useless, so he tacitly allowed Ye Yuying and Hui Lan, these two aunties, to drown her, the wife of the Fu Mansion, in the back garden. Before she died, she knew that it was not only the Ye Residence that was ruined, but that her parents' death was also one of the conspiracies of Ye Yuying and her group!
But now, she had been reborn!
The heavens had given her a chance to protect her parents and the Ye Residence!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yuning raised her head and accepted the fact that she had been reborn.
Her lively eyes looked through the hanging gauze curtain and sized up every piece of furniture in the room. She followed her memories and what Fei Xiu had said just now. Ye Yuning had a rough idea that she was thirteen years old.
Ye Yuning had been adopted by Yi Zu's family since she was young. She was raised by Yi Zu and his master, Li Changle, until she was ten years old. Now, it was the third year.
Because she had left home since she was young and missed her parents, Ye Yuning remembered everything that had happened after she returned to the Ye Residence very clearly.
According to what Fei Xiu had said just now, she had met Li Changle's proposal.
Li Changle's wife, Wu Shi, had passed away. According to the matchmaker, she had been seen by Li Changle when she was playing in the countryside. Li Changle seemed to like her young and quiet woman very much. He had recognized her as his mistress at first glance. However, after a while, he sent the matchmaker to find Ye Yuning.
During the year of thirteen, she had not been married yet. She only had a cousin who had married. She did not have many thoughts about marriage. At that time, Li Changle was almost twenty years older than her. He was the age to be her father. Therefore, when she heard that Li Changle was going to marry her as his mistress, she was extremely frightened and rejected him on the spot. She had completely thrown away Li Changle's face.
Li Changle had also blocked her at the flower fair and intended to destroy her innocence. After being educated by Yi Zu for ten years, she valued her chastity very much. She immediately pushed Li Changle down, and Li Changle knocked his head onto the fake mountain rock.
The result of this matter was that she was almost charged with murder. Even though Li Changle didn't die, she was reported to the government by Aunt Wei, who valued her husband Li Changle very much. In the process, her parents had spent a lot of money and effort to pull her out. After she came out, her reputation was ruined, and no one cared about her until she was nineteen. In the end, Fu Ranzhi was bewitched by her and led the wolf into the house, causing Fu Ranzhi to collude with the traitor. In the end, it caused her father and mother to die one after another, and the Ye Mansion collapsed. She was only twenty-three years old, and she was in the lotus pond in the backyard of the Fu Mansion that she had praised countless times.
From Fei Xiu's words, she must have rejected Li Changle, who was so old that he could be her father, this morning.
Since what had happened could not be redeemed, what should she do next?
