Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 139

The dilapidated and leaky yard had mottled walls, was dark and damp, and didn't even have a brazier.

Aunt Wen lay on the hard bed, covered with a quilt of rotten cotton wool. Even in such an icy winter, there is still a stench from the body.

Her voice was hoarse from the roar, and when she breathed, she was panting heavily.

Mother Liu sat outside in the yard and wiped her tears.

On New Year's Eve, everyone happily gathered together to have a reunion dinner. She was the only one who not only had to blow the cold wind here, but also had to be scolded by Aunt Wen.

Suddenly, she heard movement outside.

The guard guarding the courtyard said in a high voice, "Hello, Miss! Say hello to Miss!"

Mother Liu also rushed out to greet her, and said with a shy face, "Greetings to the eldest lady."

Shi Anxia ignored her and went straight into the house.

Hong Que lit the candle and moved a clean chair from the outhouse that was barely big enough to sit on, then left, "Girl, the slaves are waiting outside. Please give me your instructions if you have anything to do."

Shi Anxia nodded and stayed in the room with only Ye Baoer.

There was light in the dark room, and the flickering dim candlelight illuminated the mottled walls.

Occasionally, there would be something near his feet, and it would flash past, causing Ye Baoer to bark.

Shi Anxia sat quietly on the chair, not frightened at all. Having been in far worse places than this, my heart has long been hardened and strong.

She looked up and looked ahead, meeting Aunt Wen's eyes full of hatred.

Shi Anxia came today because she had a secret that she wanted to share with Aunt Wen alone.

She asked softly, "Aunt Wen, do you want to know how your son died?"

Aunt Wen was originally ready to scold Shi Anxia with a lot of dirty words, but before she could speak, she was shocked by the other party's question.

"What do you mean?"

Shi Anxia didn't answer. She grabbed Ye Bao'er's dog ears and played with them. She looked at the ceiling for a while and then said, "I kicked Shi Yunxing to death."

Aunt Wen suddenly got up from the bed and asked sharply, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"I said..." Shi Anxia said word by word, "Shi Yunxing wanted to drag me to be buried with him, but I kicked him away. Who knew he was so unlucky that his head hit a rock..."

She almost lived her entire life carrying this secret.

Never mentioned it to anyone.

It was also for this reason that she had been in a coma after falling into the water, unwilling to wake up and face all this.

She is cruel.

Of course, she didn't really mean to kill Shi Yunxing with her kick. But when he was cursing and pulling her in the water, she was very disgusted, and because of her usual grudges, she had long since regarded him as her biological brother.

She used all her strength on that kick.

If it hadn't been for that kick, Shi Yunxing would not have died.

For the same reason, after Shi Yunxing's death, she did not dare to appear too frequently in front of her mother.

She was afraid of her mother's tearful eyes.
