Xiu-Er was covered in blood. She struggled to support herself on the table behind her. Her blurry eyes stared at the man standing in front of her with his hands in his pockets.
The middle-aged man's eyes shone with a vicious light behind his thick glasses. He sneered and gently stroked Xiu-Er's face.
"You are my proudest student, but you know too many of my secrets. If you don't die today, I'll be the one to die tomorrow.”
"Xiu-Er, don't hate me. I had to do this to protect myself.”
Xiu-Er's petite body slowly fell to the ground. She opened her eyes wide and died…full of hatred.
………
"Mother! You're awake!"
The sweet and childish voice rang in her ears. Yue Xiuzhen opened her heavy eyelids and the first thing she saw was a young boy looking at her with tears in his eyes. The little bun's face had two snot hanging over her eyes, and it was about to get into her eyes at any time.
Yue Xiuzhen tried her best to remain calm, staring intently at the two snot drops that were slowly falling down, almost sticking to her long eyelashes. She was quick to react and grabbed the old handkerchief beside the pillow to cover the little bun's nose.
"It's so dirty. Go wash your face."
Dan Nan's eyes lit up. She threw away the old handkerchief on her nose and ran out of the house to call out to the man in the yard.
"Dad, come and see. Mother is awake!”
Dan Nan happily pulled the man into the house to check on Yue Xiu Xin's condition. She raised her little finger and pointed at her lying on the bed." Father, look, Mother is not dead." Mother is awake."
The man's long and narrow eyes looked at the woman coldly as if he was looking at a stranger.
Yue Xiuzhen covered her head and was still immersed in her dream. No, it wasn't a dream. It was the scene when she was killed in her previous life. She was killed by her own teacher because she knew too many of her teacher's secrets. In order to protect her own secrets, her teacher killed her.
Sensing Yue Xiuzhen's absent-mindedness, the man bent down slightly and whispered a warning in her ear,""Don't speak again, do you hear me?”
Yue Xiuzhen raised her head abruptly and looked at the man who was right in front of her. This was her husband, Dan Shihan. He was the only scholar in the village and had passed the scholar examination last year. At this moment, he was dressed like a scholar. He had a green crown on his head and wore a snow-colored robe. He was gentle and elegant, and his scholarly aura was dense.
"Yue Xiuzhen, I didn't expect you to be so tough. You didn't die after drinking a whole cup of poisoned tea!”
Her dazed consciousness became much clearer. When she met the man's cold gaze, Yue Xiuhao narrowed her eyes slightly and saw the man's lips pursed into a line, as if the mockery just now was her hallucination.
"Since you're awake, get up. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and my third and fourth aunts are all here. It's rude of you to stay in bed like this.”
Yue Xiu smiled mockingly and curled her lips in disdain. A cold-blooded and heartless person actually cared about what others thought. It was really ridiculous.
Dan Shihan's eyes widened in surprise, and then he stood silently in front of the bed, his eyes filled with disappointment and disgust.
A series of tiny footsteps came from the courtyard. Dan Shihan's narrow eyes glanced at the door. Suddenly, his expression changed. He took a step forward and sat by the bed, holding Yue Xiu Xin's hand and gazing at her affectionately.
"Aiyoyo, Eldest Miss is really a lucky person. She's really lucky to be safe and sound after drinking the poisoned tea! God bless! Buddha bless! Bodhisattva, please bless me! Amitabha!"
A woman with a jade hairpin and a golden ring and a silk dress came in with her hands clasped together. When she saw Yue Xiuzhen lying on the bed, she wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and cried sadly,"Pin 'er, it's a good thing you didn't have a bad life like Ling' er. You survived the gates of hell. Otherwise…Otherwise, teach me how to face your father, my master!”
Dan Shihan was also very excited. He blinked hard and squeezed out a tear. He asked softly,"Wifey, you're finally awake! Do your injuries still hurt? Do you want to drink some water to moisten your throat?"
Yue Xiu Xin sneered in disgust. Damn man, a hypocrite. There were so many people in the room now, and he was pretending to be affectionate, right? I won't let you have your way.
She glanced at the woman who spoke, the Host's stepmother, Wang. Yue Xiu pulled her hand back and glanced at the Wang family who was surrounding the bed with a dark expression." Dan Shihan, I don't know her. Chase her out."”
Dan Shihan's face twitched. This woman was disobedient again. He had just warned her to keep her mouth shut and pretend to be mute. How could she dare to speak in front of the Yue family?
Yue Xiu Xin ignored the anger in Dan Shihan's eyes and forced herself to sit up.
The clever Dan Nan immediately ran over and climbed onto the bed. She said worriedly,"Mother, you slept for several hours. Are you sick?”He threw himself on Xiu-Er and pressed his chubby hand on Yue Xiuyan's forehead. He asked in confusion,""Eh? Mother is not sick."
"Aiyoyo, what an obedient and sensible child!”Madam Wang stroked Dan Nan's head lovingly and said sadly with tears in her eyes,"Pin 'er, it's a good thing that you survived. Otherwise, I…I would really die of heartache.”
Yue Xiuyan glanced disdainfully at the fat old man standing at the door, the original owner's father, Yue Fen, and said sarcastically,""Madam Wang, don't cry. If you have the strength to cry in front of me, why don't you go back and properly arrange Second Sister's funeral?”
Lady Wang's expression froze. She said angrily," What are you saying? Is it wrong for me to care about you?"”
