C4 Rebirth

After a pause, one of the servants bravely ordered Zhang mama, “Mama, I’ll leave this to you. Let’s help the Lady out.”

“Yes,” Zhang mama was scared, but she had to agree, “Quick, help the Lady out. Don’t scare her.”

The two servants quickly helped Mu Fu out.

Zhang mama watched as Mu Feng bit the bloody finger and swallowed it. She watched her eyes staring at her as if she was an evil ghost. Zhang mama felt her scalp go numb. She had lived for decades, but she had never been so scared. But even so, she still had to try her best not to show any fear.

“Lady, I’ll send you on your way,” Zhang mama sneered. She took out a small bundle of string from her sleeve. It was the string of a bow. It was thin but sturdy. As she pulled the string, she walked toward Mu Feng…

The string tightened. Mu Feng’s mouth was open, and her chest was heaving. She looked like she was breathing, but her eyes were staring at the blood-stained Buddha statue on the table…

The ghosts were all ferocious. The Buddha was closing his eyes!

Mu Feng couldn’t breathe, but she could smell the faint fragrance in the air. It was so fragrant and sweet that it didn’t seem like it came from the mortal world. She heard hurried footsteps. It was like a dream…

Was she going to die? Were the Black and White Impermanences coming to take her life?

No! She wasn’t willing to die like this!

If… if there was a next life…

If there was a next life!

…

Rebirth!

Jiayuan, twenty-fourth year, eleventh month, second day.

Mu Residence.

The first snowfall in the capital had arrived late this year. It was only in the eleventh month that the snow finally started to fall. It was also accompanied by a little rain. Before it fell to the ground, it had completely melted. It was muddy all over the ground. Whether it was the pedestrians or the carriages, they were inevitably in a sorry state. However, this couldn’t stop the excitement of the nobles in the capital.

The Great Xia Dynasty paid special attention to the first snow. Since ancient times, there was a saying that the first snow was a sign of good luck. In the eyes of the nobles, the first snow was a sign of good luck, but it was also a sign of elegance. Every year, the nobles in the capital would gather together for the first snow. The entire family would sit around a table, with red plum flowers in their bottles. Outside the window, there were broken pieces of jade and pearls. They would drink wine and sing poetry. It was both a celebration and elegance.

The Mu Residence in the capital was no exception. The red plum flowers in the courtyard and the laughter in the hall were peaceful and happy.

However, the west courtyard was abnormally quiet. The cold wind carried the drizzle, causing the two lanterns in front of the door to sway. The courtyard was deathly silent. Apart from the house in the west courtyard, which was lit, there was nothing else.

In the house, Bi Yao and Bi Qiao were sitting in the outer hall. They were chatting under the lanterns. After a few sentences, they started to sigh.

“Lady, you are so pitiful. You can’t even get out of bed or go out. You can only lie on the bed. Sigh!” Bi Yao sighed and shook her head.

Bi Qiao also agreed, “Who said that? The old master didn’t care about the lady of our house. She has been in the capital for half a year, but he never asked about her. It is rare for him to send someone to invite her over for a meal. How can she go? I am afraid that the old master thinks that we are making her unhappy!”

“It is really strange. Our Lady has always been healthy. Why did she fall ill in the capital? She has been ill for half a year.” Bi Yao frowned, “Is it possible that she is not staying in the capital?”

Bi Qiao spat, “Pooh! Stop talking nonsense! Our Lady has a good life. She can stay in the capital and marry a noble man! Bi Yao, shut your mouth!”

“Pooh!” Bi Yao knew that she had said something wrong. She spat three times in a row, afraid that she would ruin the Lady’s good luck.

“Ahem!”

As they were talking, they heard a cough coming from the room. They put down the needles and threads in their hands and hurriedly ran into the room.

“Lady, you have slept for an entire day. You are finally awake!”
