Chapter 109 2 Dreams
After Zeng Qian'er returned to her parents' home, Shangguan Yan drove Shangguan Yue back to the Rose Courtyard.
These days, seeing Shangguan Yan's adoptive father restless and always running to Junlan Garden, with a dead father look on his face, I knew he was going crazy.
So she tactfully returned to the Rose Courtyard. She still liked the Rose Courtyard and it was very comfortable to live there. She didn’t know if it was due to environmental factors or something else, but the temperature in the Rose Courtyard was cooler and more comfortable than in other courtyards.
Her favorite is the wooden house. Sleeping in the wooden house always feels like sleeping in the sky.
I checked the Lingxiao grass. The leaves and stems were growing, but the flowers remained the same and did not wither. The purple beads also did not change.
She didn't pick any more flowers, but picked a few leaves and mixed them with some cakes for Xiaobai and the others to eat.
Recently, she and Bianbian didn't dare to use any strength in anything they did, so Shangguan Yue didn't know how strong they were.
She brought the pebbles she picked up from the yard up to the wooden house and squeezed them secretly. The pebbles broke into many small pieces. Fortunately, they did not turn into powder, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
But it's incredible, she's only eight years old! She's so strong that she can crush pebbles. How does she compare to people with martial arts skills?
It's better not to let others know! She hasn't accepted it yet, so what about others? It will be troublesome if they treat them as monsters.
She didn't go to Junlan Garden for lunch, so she had the food delivered to her at the wooden house.
Blowing in the refreshing cool breeze and listening to Xiaobai and Xiaolan playing and laughing, it was like a lullaby. Shangguan Yue fell asleep peacefully and began to have a sweet dream.
In her dream, she came to a world with pavilions, towers, colorful flowers, and bustling streets. Everyone who saw her had to bow down to her, and if she was a little unhappy, those people would tremble.
It's a bit unbelievable. She is not a monster. It's ridiculous that those people are afraid of her.
The dream changed and she entered another scene, where she saw a red brick road leading directly to the house in front.
The eaves were carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the gate was grand and majestic. Shangguan Yue walked along the avenue to the gate.
She pushed open the heavy carved door with both hands, and the luxurious decorations inside dazzled her eyes.
Everywhere you look, there is a golden and magnificent scene. All that can be decorated with gold is used, and all that can be made of jade is made of white jade or jadeite.
Looking up above my head, I saw it was inlaid with large and small luminous pearls, making it as bright as day even at night.
This is so extravagant! Although she loves money, this kind of decoration is just like a nouveau riche, too extravagant and wasteful. She thinks it is better to spend money on practical things.
Walking closer to the large wooden table, I saw that the wood was dark brown and polished very smoothly. Shangguan Yue didn't know much about wood, but the pattern on this wood was very beautiful.
Some look like blooming flowers, and some look like ripples in the lake.
There was a vase in the shape of a peony on the table, with a few dried peach branches inserted in it. The most eye-catching one among them was the bird feather.
The bird feather part protruding from the vase is about one foot long, with one circle of purple, one circle of red and one circle of gold, forming a long eye-like pattern. Looking at it is like looking into a beautiful big eye.
Shangguan Yue approached the Aquarius and reached out to take out the bird feather. Suddenly, the feathers that looked like big eyes emitted a purple light...
The light circled around Shangguan Yue a few times and then stopped, and a tear flowed from her big eyes.
Tears dripped onto the back of Shangguan Yue's right hand, burning her so much that she retracted her hand with a cry.
In the wooden house, Shangguan Yue's closed eyes moved, and slowly opened, staring blankly at the setting sun outside the window. It turned out that she had slept for so long and dreamed for so long.
Dreams are just dreams. Is there such a house in the world? Aren't you afraid that everything will be stolen? If you take out any piece of everything inside and outside, it will be enough to last a lifetime!
She stretched her body and the back of her hand touched the wall of the wooden house. She gritted her teeth in pain. She didn't use any force just now, so why did it hurt so much?
She stretched out her left hand and rubbed the back of her right hand. She hissed in pain. What was strange was that, not only was it painful, but she could also feel a small lump.
I stretched my right hand in front of my eyes. Oh my god! Was it a mosquito bite or an insect bite?
Look more closely, this is not a mosquito bite. This bite is burning and painful, as if there is water inside, as if I was scalded by water.
Shangguan Yue thought about the dream she had just had. Was she burned by a tear? Or was she dreaming?
It was impossible, it was a dream. She remembered that when she was a child, she was bitten by a bug and it was like this, painful and uncomfortable.
This wooden house is built among flowers and plants, so there must be a lot of bugs crawling up here. Why don’t Xiaolan and the others catch all of them? She is most afraid of soft bugs.
.........
Zeng Qianer returned to her mother's home which she had not visited for more than a year. Her mother hugged her and cried non-stop, while her father and brother had not yet left the court.
The sister-in-law was very happy that her younger sister-in-law had returned, but she also blamed her for coming back less often, because her parents often worried about her and were afraid that she was not living well and was suffering.
Seeing her mother's gray hair, Zeng Qian'er felt upset. After getting married, she only cared about her family and Cheng Rui, reminding herself all the time, fearing that she was not doing well enough and would make Cheng Rui dissatisfied.
She was three hundred miles away from home and only went back once every two or three years. She didn't know when her parents started to grow old.
Hugging her mother who gave birth to her and raised her, she decided to come back more often to visit her and no longer report good news or bad news.
She doesn't want to carry too much, it's too tiring. Just let her fly for once!
She also wants her parents and brother to pamper her, love her, and make decisions for her like she did when she was a child, even if it would be a spoiled child for once.
Zeng Qianer chatted a lot with her mother and sister-in-law. It was not until her father and brother left the court that she saw her daughter who had not been back for a long time. The old man actually had red eyes.
Upon learning that his precious daughter had been beaten and poisoned, and that his son-in-law not only did not help but also did not tell him, which almost caused his daughter to lose her life, the old man was so angry that he fumed.
Brother Zeng Zhongkai had always looked down on Cheng Rui's dead face, and did not call anyone to inform his sister when her life was in danger. If his sister had not been lucky enough to meet the help of the general's wife, she would have lost her life long ago.
The murderer who poisoned the woman had a close relationship with Cheng Rui. Cheng Rui must still be thinking about that vicious woman, so he did not pursue the matter of her beating Qian'er.
No one in his Shangshu Mansion in Nanyue had ever dared to be bullied like this. How could a small second wife of a wealthy businessman dare to beat up the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion and poison her?
She was tired of living, and no matter who was supporting her, he would never let her go.
My brother also agreed that the General's Mansion did not hand over the accomplice of the poisonous woman to Cheng Rui, a man who couldn't even protect his own wife. If they handed the murderer over to Cheng Rui, the matter would end up in nothing.
He is the Minister of Justice. If he can't even punish a man who poisoned multiple lives, he is a complete failure as a brother.
No matter if she is the second wife of a wealthy businessman or a high-ranking official, if she cannot even protect her sister whom she has taken care of since childhood, then what is the point of being an official.
My sister was well-behaved and obedient since she was young, innocent and cute, and would never hurt anyone. When she grew up, she was gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. It turned out that Cheng Rui, a toad, ate the swan meat but didn't cherish it.
"Little sister, please stay at home for a while. Since that vicious woman has committed so many murders, please ask the general's wife to send her to the Ministry of Justice. Brother and father will definitely take care of it for you.
As for the man surnamed Cheng, just stop caring about him. You have spent all your energy on him, but does he care about you and cherish you? "
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother." Zeng Qian'er pulled her brother's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Little sister, you... you are so old, and still..." Zeng Zhongkai smiled and touched Zeng Qianer's head. A sister is a sister, and in his heart she will always be a little girl.
