You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

In the 30th year of Zhengxing, Lanting Waterside Pavilion was built.

The warm spring sunshine was shining all over the earth. A man in a black python robe stood in the courtyard. The gentle light reflected on his face, making him look extremely handsome and elegant.

Xiao Yan looked at the girl who had fainted at the door, then glanced at the bodies scattered here and there at her feet that couldn't even be put together, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

This can scare people to faint, it's really useless.

The man took out a pure white handkerchief, wiped the blood off his hands, and then walked towards the door.

The usually lively and cute girl now fell to the ground, with the cakes she brought scattered all over the floor.

The goose yellow gauze skirt fits her slim figure and makes her waist look extremely thin.

The skin is whiter than snow and almost crystal clear.

Her neck was slender and white, and he only needed to apply a little force to crush her cervical vertebrae.

"Uh-huh-huh."

The big black dog squatting next to her was barking, and Xiao Yun lowered her eyes to look at it.

A hint of disdain flashed across the man's icy black eyes, as if he was disgusted by the animal's ungentlemanly way of eating.

"She won't eat this, you eat it yourself."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Hei'er licked his nose, walked up to the man and rubbed his trouser legs in a flattering manner, with its ears folded back, waiting for its owner's touch.

Xiao Yan didn't touch it, but walked to the steps next to the girl and sat down.

He picked up a piece of pastry that was still in the food box and ate it slowly.

Very sweet.

The man narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and took another piece to eat.

The movements are elegant and dignified.

"Wang Wang~"

The big black dog barked and stared at the cake in his hand, obviously wanting to eat it.

The man stopped chewing and glanced at it calmly.

Animals are most sensitive to human emotions. When the big black dog met its owner's eyes, its raised tail drooped slightly. It quickly looked away and pretended to be busy running to the corpse.

Xiao Yan finished eating two pieces of cake before picking up the girl from the ground.

The girl's body is soft and boneless, and everything feels soft when touched.

The pleasant scent of lime permeated his nose, and the man's eyes dimmed slightly.

He didn't like her, but she could always easily arouse his desire.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Return to the East Palace..."

……

"Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao..."

A gentle voice sounded in Lin Zhaoyue's ears. She felt as if someone shook her body a few times. Then her body became cold and a cold wind blew into her pajamas. Lin Zhaoyue was woken up by the cold.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Lin Wan's graceful and beautiful face.

Seeing that she woke up, Lin Wan curled her red lips slightly, revealing a gentle ripple.

Looking at the smile on Lin Wan's face, Lin Zhaoyue couldn't stop her eyes from reddening and suddenly burst into tears.

She stood up, hugged the person tightly, and buried her head in her sweet and soft arms.

"Sister, Zhao Zhao misses you guys so much!"

Although Lin Zhaoyue is usually a bit naughty, I have never seen her so sad.

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted her on the back:

"Did Zhao Zhao have a nightmare?"

Lin Zhaoyue wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth she hiccuped. She nodded, then shook her head.

Lin Wan coaxed her for a long time, until the water had cooled down, and finally he calmed her down. He then asked the maid to fetch a basin of hot water.

Raising her head from Lin Wan's arms, Lin Zhaoyue looked around and asked curiously:

"Sister, is this the underworld? Why is it exactly the same as the Lin Mansion? Mother, father, and elder brother..."

Before Lin Zhaoyue could finish her words, Lin Wan reached out and tapped her forehead.

She really used force this time, and Lin Zhaoyue grimaced in pain:

"Sister, it hurts..."

Just after she cried out in pain, Lin Zhaoyue suddenly froze.

Wasn't she already dead? Why was she still feeling pain?

"You deserve it. This is your home, not hell. I think you haven't woken up yet. I don't know who said yesterday that he would be the first to go to the palace to celebrate Princess Duanmin's birthday. If I hadn't come, you would probably still be there when the matter was done."

Princess Duanmin? Birthday celebration?

Lin Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Lin Wan's sleeve and asked:

"Sister, what year and month is it now?"

"April of the 30th year of Zhengxing."

Anguo, Zhengxing 30th year.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at her hands, which were delicate, smooth and white.

She touched her face again and found her skin was smooth. There was no trace of the pitiful look she had shown in the cold palace.

So she was reborn?

Reborn when she was sixteen years old.

Today is Xiao Ran’s coming-of-age ceremony, which means that if things follow the trajectory of her previous life, she and Xiao Yan will get married in three months?

Thinking of everything that happened after she married Xiao Yun, Lin Zhaoyue's face turned pale.

The marriage with Xiao Yan must be cancelled no matter what.

she's scared...

She never wanted to like Xiao Yan again.

"Sister, where are father and mother? Where are my brothers?"

"Father has gone to court, Mother is preparing gifts, my eldest brother has been guarding the northern border, and my third brother has followed my second brother to Jiangzhou. They will probably be back at the end of the month. What happened to Zhaozhao?"

As he spoke, Lin Wan looked at Lin Zhaoyue with a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes.

Doesn’t Zhao Zhao know all this?

Something has been wrong with Zhao Zhao since she woke up. Zhao Zhao's eyes have always been clear, clean and bright, but the sadness and vicissitudes on her face at this moment, as if several lifetimes had passed in one night.

"What happened to Zhao Zhao yesterday? I heard that you locked yourself in your room after returning from the East Palace."

Lin Zhaoyue tried hard to recall what happened yesterday, and finally remembered that she made flower cakes and went to find Xiao Ying yesterday, but Xiao Ying was not in the East Palace. After hearing that Xiao Ying went to Lanting Waterside Pavilion, she followed him there.

She didn't expect to see that scene... and then she fainted from fright.

Xiao Yinyin took her to the East Palace, and when she woke up, she was warned again.

She returned to the Duke's Mansion in fear, and fell asleep, and somehow she was reborn...

"Zhao Zhao, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor for you..."

Just as Lin Wan was about to stand up, Lin Zhaoyue grabbed her hand and shook her head:

"I'm fine, sister. I just had a nightmare and I'm still recovering. Let's wash up and go to the palace first."

Lin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and tried her best to act as normal so as not to worry her sister.

"Sister, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me help you with your hair first."

"But Cuihe has already done it for me."

"Just do it again..."

Having said that, Lin Zhaoyue pulled Lin Wan to the dressing table.

When I was almost done with washing and dressing, Mrs. Lin's voice came from outside the door:

"I heard that Zhao Zhao had a nightmare and was so scared that he cried?"

Lin Zhaoyue turned around and saw a woman in light blue embroidered brocade walking in. She had willow-shaped eyebrows, an oval face, and every move she made was dignified. There were two thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, which were the traces of the years.

"Auntie."

When Lin Zhaoyue saw Mrs. Lin, she ran over and threw herself into her arms.

Smelling the pleasant orchid scent on A Niang's body and feeling her warm body temperature, Lin Zhaoyue's eyes began to turn red again.

It is alive and warm, not a cold and mutilated corpse.

Her family members are all still alive and can be hugged with just an outstretched hand.

"You kid, you're going to get married in three months, why are you still so impatient?"

Mrs. Lin said this and reached out to rub Lin Zhaoyue's soft hair lovingly.

She and her husband have five children, three boys and two girls, and Zhaozhao is the most naughty one, fearless.

When Lin Zhaoyue heard Mrs. Lin say the word "marriage", her body stiffened for a moment, and then she said coquettishly:

"Zhao Zhao doesn't want to get married. Zhao Zhao wants to stay with my mother and be filial to her for the rest of her life."

In her previous life, her heart was on Xiao Yan, and her greatest wish was to grow old with him.

Living her life over again, she had no intention of getting married. She only wished her family good health and the Lin family peace.

Mrs. Lin thought she was being shy, so she smiled and said something to her. Then she looked up and saw that Lin Wan's hairstyle was different from before, so she said:

"Zhao Zhao made it for you?"

Lin Wan touched the bun on her head, nodded, and said:

"Mom, do you look good?"

She was quite satisfied and didn't know when Zhao Zhao became so skillful.

Mrs. Lin nodded affirmatively. She thought the hair style Cuihe had just done was nothing special. Compared with the one Lin Zhaoyue had done, it seemed a little more complicated.

Now it looks simple and elegant.

"nice."

After receiving her mother's praise, Lin Zhaoyue raised her head from Madam Lin's arms, looking for praise:

"Mother, am I really amazing?"

Lin Wan suspected that if Lin Zhaoyue had a tail at this moment, it would definitely be pointing up to the sky.

"Awesome! My Zhao Zhao is the best..."

……

The mother, her two daughters and the mansion left laughing and joking. When they arrived at the palace, it was already the hour of Yin.

There were many carriages parked at the palace gate.

Those invited to attend the princess' coming-of-age ceremony were all high-ranking officials and nobles, except...

"Sister Yue."

This voice...Liu Yiyi.

Lin Zhaoyue clenched her fists unconsciously.

Not to mention the voice, she would recognize Liu Yiyi even if she turned into ashes.

She was the murderer who killed her child, and she and Xiao Yan took the lives of 110 people in her Lin family...

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Liu Yiyi standing there in a pink dress with a sickly pale face.

Seeing her looking at her, she waved the pink embroidered handkerchief in her hand, lifted her skirt and walked towards her.

She only walked a few steps before she covered her lips with her hands and coughed, looking like a typical sick beauty.

A gust of wind blew over, and Liu Yiyi almost fell down with her frail body, not sure if it was because she sprained her ankle or because the wind was too strong.

Anyone who sees that crumbling body would be moved with pity and would want to go up and give it a hand.

Just as her body was about to fall, a pair of jade-like hands held up her arms, and the man's usually cold voice had a subtle warmth:

"Go slower."

"Brother."
