The adopted daughter returns with a new face

On August 15th of the twenty-fifth year of Yongchang, the summer was scorching hot, and the southern capital was already filled with colorful lanterns, making it extremely lively.

On the official road of Baili County, a carriage was escorted by a dozen men in armor, driving quietly on the official road.

There were two women in luxurious clothes in the carriage. The woman in green was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a delicate oval face with the plum blossom makeup that was popular in the south.

She had willow-shaped eyebrows with powdered black hair, lips as red as cherries, and was waving a round fan in her hand. There was a barely perceptible hint of hostility in her eyes, and a faint sneer at the corner of her mouth as she looked at the woman in pink lying by the window.

The woman in pink looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, while the woman in green was a little older. She had a head of black hair draped over her back, and a soft smile on her delicate and pretty face. Her eyebrows were like powder, her eyes were like stars, her nose was straight and slender, and her lips were like cherries.

"Sister, the weather is too hot. Let's go to the front and rest for a while." The woman in pink turned around and looked at the woman in green and shouted.

"Zi Yu, this place is uninhabited and the forest is deep. Will it be dangerous if we stop to rest?" Liang Zi Han, the woman in green, said softly.

"But sister, I want to pee." Liang Ziyu, a girl named Ziyu, said in a low voice. She could not hold it any longer.

"Okay, let Lin Feng stop in the forest ahead." The woman in green agreed, and leaned out her head to the leading man in front and shouted, "Brother Lin Feng, Zi Yu said he wanted to take a rest. Let's stop in the cool place in the forest ahead."

"Okay, miss." Lin Feng agreed, a sneer flashed across his handsome face, and he calmly asked everyone to stop and rest in the dense woods ahead.

As soon as Liang Ziyu got off the carriage, he pulled his maid Donggui and ran towards the woods.

Liang Zihan got off the carriage, took a look at the dense forest and gave Lin Feng a look. Lin Feng called two guards and followed the eldest lady and Zhihua into the forest.

Liang Ziyu had just stood up after urinating when she suddenly saw her sister and Lin Feng coming in. She was startled and scolded: "Sister, what are you doing?" She was greeted by Lin Feng, who suddenly stabbed Dong Gui's body with a sword, who had protected her in a hurry, and frightened her.

Dong Gui opened her eyes wide, looked down in pain at the sword that pierced her body in her abdomen, and fell backwards.

"Dong Gui..." Liang Ziyu yelled, ran over and hugged Dong Gui's body, looked at the blood coming out of her mouth, and murmured in fear: "Why?"

"Why? Because you deserve to die, because you touched something that doesn't belong to you." Liang Zihan's face no longer had the gentleness of a lady from a noble family, instead it was filled with indifference.

Liang Ziyu looked up at her sister blankly. She no longer had the gentle expression she used to have. She looked cold and indifferent. She shook her head and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about? Ziyu doesn't understand. Why should Ziyu die?"

"You are a bastard of unknown origin. What qualifications do you have to snatch the position of princess that originally belonged to me? The Liang family raised you up, and this is how you repay the favor?" Liang Zihan scolded.

"Bastard? She is a bastard?" Liang Ziyu was stunned and looked at Liang Zihan blankly.

"Liang Ziyu, you are not the biological daughter of our Liang family, but the bastard that father and his men picked up to prolong my life. Now you have lost all benefits, so go to hell." Liang Zihan waved his hand after he finished speaking, and two guards drew their swords and walked towards Liang Ziyu with a sneer.

When Liang Ziyu saw the sword flashing with cold light in the guard's hand, she didn't have time to think about putting Dong Gui down, she stood up and ran up the mountain.

The two guards looked at Liang Ziyu who was running away, stunned for a moment, then drew their swords and chased after him.

"Catch her for me." Liang Zi Han shouted and chased up the mountain, with Lin Feng and Zhi Hua following behind her.

Liang Ziyu's mind was in a mess. She turned around to look at the guards who were catching up with her. She grabbed the wood chips in the forest and threw them at them, then climbed up the mountain with all her might. However, she had been raised in a secluded place since she was a child, and she could not outrun the guards at all. When her foot was grabbed, she screamed in fear.

"Run, I tell you to run." A guard grabbed Liang Ziyu's feet. Liang Ziyu hugged a tree tightly and kicked his hands hard. His shoes were kicked off before he jumped away and climbed up using both hands and feet.

"Hahaha, crawl quickly, I'll let you crawl first." The two guards laughed and looked at Liang Ziyu who was running for her life in a panic. They stood where they were and watched her run first.

"Why?" Liang Ziyu felt extremely sad. Why did her sister say that she was not her parents' daughter? Then who was she?

"Useless things, why don't you catch her for me?" Liang Zihan angrily scolded the two useless guards.

After being scolded by the eldest lady, the two guards hurriedly chased after Liang Ziyu. Liang Ziyu climbed up the mountain with great effort, but was frightened when he saw a bottomless cliff in front of him. He turned around and was about to run down the mountain, but was caught by the two guards who rushed up.

"Let me go, let me go..." Liang Ziyu was soaked in sweat, her face was covered with sweat, and her little face was red.

"Bitch, you still have the nerve to cry." Liang Zihan came up panting from exhaustion. When he saw Liang Ziyu crying, he went up and slapped her in the face.

Liang Ziyu's face was burning from the beating and tears were falling from her eyes.

"why?"

"Why? You don't know yet, right? You stole my things, and father and mother can't tolerate you, so they made an excuse for us to go back to our hometown to visit our relatives, just to take the opportunity to make you disappear from this world." Liang Zi Han's gloating words were like a thunderbolt hitting Liang Ziyu's head. He couldn't believe it was true.

"Sister, you lied to Ziyu, didn't you? Father and mother didn't want to kill Ziyu, right?" Liang Ziyu forgot the pain on her face and looked at her sister with tears in her eyes. She wanted to hear her say in person that this was a lie.

"Okay, I'll let you know before you die. I was born with a weak body, and the doctor said I wouldn't live past the age of eight. A Taoist priest gave my parents a clear path, that is, they must find someone who was born on the same day, month, and year as me, and use that person's fate to extend my life until I'm eighteen, and then I'll be safe. Now that I'm over eighteen, your fate has been taken away by me.

Even if you live, you won't live past 18, and you've taken things that originally belonged to me. So, as long as you die, everything will be mine." Liang Zihan ruthlessly crushed Liang Ziyu's last glimmer of fantasy and reached out to Zhihua, who took out a dagger from her sleeve and handed it to her master.

"What are you going to do?" Liang Ziyu saw Liang Zihan pull out a dagger, and the cold white light scared her.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Liang Zihan sneered and stretched out his hand to pinch Liang Ziyu's chin. The dagger in his hand was placed on her face and sneered: "Although she is a bastard, she gave birth to a face more beautiful than mine, so she should be destroyed."

"No, ah..." Liang Ziyu hadn't finished shouting "no" when he felt a piercing pain on his face. He screamed and struggled desperately to break free from the guards, covering his face and backing away.

"Catch her..." Liang Zi Han had gone crazy, and with a loud shout, two guards rushed over to grab Liang Zi Yu, and pressed her to the ground regardless of her struggles.

"No, sister, no, I beg you, sister." Liang Ziyu cried, her hands couldn't free, her feet struggled desperately, and her face was full of heart-piercing pain.

Liang Zi Han glanced at Lin Feng and Zhi Hua, and the two of them went up and held down Liang Zi Yu's feet one by one. Liang Zi Han walked forward and squatted, waving the dagger in his hand at Liang Zi Yu's face several times.

What followed was Liang Ziyu's tragic screams, which startled the birds in the forest and made them flutter in the air. On his bloody cheeks, there were two big forks, so deep that the flesh and bones were visible. Liang Ziyu curled up on the ground holding his face in pain, his mind dizzy with pain.

Liang Zihan's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty madness. He stood up, looked at the bottomless cliff in front of him and ordered: "Lin Feng, throw her down to feed the wild beasts."

"Yes, Miss." Lin Feng had a cold look on his face. He raised his foot and kicked Liang Ziyu, who was curled up on the ground, off the cliff.

Liang Zihan finally solved her biggest worry. With a ruthless mockery on his face, he glanced at the cliff and led everyone down the mountain.
