In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

At four o'clock in the morning, lights were turned on inside and outside Yilan Courtyard in the backyard of the Qi Mansion.

A maid tiptoed to the bedside, opened the brocade curtain, and called softly, "Miss, get up."

The quilt on the bed was rolled into a tube, wrapping the person from head to toe.

The maid didn't wait for the young lady's response. She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to lift the quilt to see what was going on.

"No." Qi Wan hummed into the quilt.

When the maid heard that the young lady's voice seemed a little strange, she asked hurriedly, "Young lady, is there something wrong with you?"

Qi Wan tried hard to keep her voice steady and replied, "No, I want to sleep a little longer."

"Okay." The maid put down the brocade curtain, walked out and waved her hand, whispering: "Don't bring water in for now, the young lady won't get up and needs to sleep for a while."

Aunt Wu stood in the corridor holding a copper basin, her brows furrowed. A few more wrinkles appeared on her already thin face.

She said worriedly, "Miss, if you don't get up and go to the front yard to pay your respects, will the old lady scold you?"

Mother Bai held a stack of clean towels in her hand, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "It's no use paying respects, the old lady only likes the fourth young lady."

Wu Ma touched her and said, "Don't talk here, or someone might hear you."

Mother Bai waved the cloth in the direction of the third room and whispered, "What are you afraid of? As long as Lan Ting is not here, no one will go to the third room to tip off."

"Alas!" Outside the corridor, several maids and old women sighed at the same time.

They all knew that Lan Ting was restless and would not listen even when the young lady reminded her.

But the young lady still believed Lan Ting's words and told her everything.

Qi Wan listened to the servants' words, tears welled up again, and she cursed herself inwardly, "In my previous life, I was too stupid to listen to good advice, and too blind to distinguish truth from falsehood."

Thinking of her past life's experiences and the family members and servants who died because of her, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"God bless me to be reborn. I want to protect my family and avenge my blood feud."

She curled up in the quilt, feeling secretly regretful and sad, and cried for a while.

Qi Wan held the bracelet tightly. It was this rosary bracelet that had accompanied her for six years that made her certain that she was reborn and not having a nightmare.

Recalling the details of her past life, she inadvertently turned a bead on her bracelet.

"Whoosh" she flashed into a space.

This is a place with blooming flowers. In the middle there is a towering tower, which is thirty or forty feet high, with nineteen floors, reaching into the sky.

She bravely stepped into the building. The Buddha statue on the first floor was exactly the same as the one she had in the palace, and there were several golden incense burners.

She climbed up the wooden building and when she reached the second floor, she was stunned.

"Oh my God."

The second floor is filled with gold, silver and jewelry, including gold nuggets, silver ingots, agates, pearls, various gems, etc., which emit sparkling light.

The third floor is filled with various precious medicinal herbs and pills.

Each large white porcelain jar containing medicine has a piece of paper pasted on the mouth of the jar, with the name of the medicine and its use written in regular script.

In the corner, there were jars containing poison and an antidote.

She went to the third floor and looked up at the rooftop. It was more than ten floors high. How long would it take to climb up?

"It would be great if we could fly to the roof." Qi Wan said.

"Swoosh" she was driven by some unknown force and reached the top floor.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there are also various precious treasures such as ancient paintings, ancient books, ancient artifacts, etc.

Qi Wan walked to the window and looked out. He felt dizzy and dazed as he was in the clouds.

She hurriedly said, "Go back."

Instantly a person appeared on the bed.

Qi Wan tightly grasped the bracelet and asked secretly, "What kind of magical space treasure is this?"

She was pleasantly surprised to be reborn with the artifact.

"I will be able to take revenge soon."

With this treasure on me, isn't it easy to kill that damned Third Prince?

At five o'clock in the morning, Aunt Wu entered the inner room, walked to the bed and whispered, "Miss, get up. Madam saw that you didn't go to the upper courtyard to pay your respects, so she sent someone to ask you and said that she would come to see you after you paid your respects."

"Okay, I'll get up." Qi Wan responded.

Her mother came to see her with a team of servants, and if she saw that she had not yet gotten up, she would definitely call a doctor to see her.

Qi Wan got up from the bed and the servant came forward to help her put on her shoes and socks.

Seeing that her eyes were a little red and swollen, Wu Ma and Bai Ma looked at each other in surprise.

Wu Ma asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you crying?"

"No." Qi Wan shook her head. "I didn't sleep well. My eyes are a little swollen."

Chunyan brought a cup of honey water and served Qi Wan water.

She looked at the young lady's red and swollen eyes and said softly, "It must be what the Third Madam said yesterday that made the young lady unhappy."

Qi Wan didn't respond, but asked, "Where's Lan Ting?"

"She asked for leave yesterday and said she would be back in the morning," Wu Ma said. "Before she left, she said the young lady had given her the OK."

The little girl outside announced loudly, "Sister Lan Ting is here."

"You want to die? You informed me when I came." Lan Ting cursed the little girl and walked into the door with her slender waist twisted.

She has an oval face with a rosy white tint and a pair of round eyes that are lively and changeable.

She rolled her eyes at the little girl first, then turned around and saw the young lady looking at her. She immediately fluttered her long eyelashes and smiled, saying, "Oh, young lady, you are so lazy to get up at this time."

She usually talks to young ladies like this, without even being polite.

Qi Wan never cared about it.

"Kneel down." Qi Wan stood in the room, looking at Lan Ting with anger in his eyes, and said sternly.

Lan Ting was stunned. She stared at the young lady with her sparkling eyes. She could hardly believe her ears.

The maids and servants in the room were so frightened that they seemed to be frozen in time. They all stared at the young lady with their mouths open and eyes wide open.

They never expected that one day the young lady would lose her temper with Lan Ting, her most trusted maid.

What happened next was even more shocking.

Lan Ting fluttered her long eyelashes a few times, forced a smile and walked forward, reaching out her hand to touch Qi Wan, teasing, "Miss, you may have fallen asleep, right?"

Qi Wan raised his hand and slapped Lan Ting twice with all his strength, shouting, "Bitch, kneel down."

Lan Ting was beaten so hard that her mouth and nose were bleeding, and her little face instantly swelled up like two big red peaches.

Lan Ting had never suffered such a humiliation since she was a child.

She wiped the blood from her nose with a handkerchief, looked at Qi Wan with resentment, and asked indignantly: "Miss, I didn't do anything wrong, why did you hit me?"

She neither knelt nor admitted her mistake, but argued with the young lady to the end, thinking that the worst that could happen was that she would be sold.

Qi Wan listed them one by one to her: "You don't follow the rules, you don't respect me, and you don't distinguish between the superior and the inferior."

"Stealing my clothes and jewelry."

"You lied to me, left the house casually, and lied that I promised you."

Lan Ting sneered back, "So what?"

She stiffened her neck and threatened, "Can you still beat me to death? At worst, you can kick me out of the house, and I will buy my own indenture."

Indeed, these things were not enough to kill a maid.

The worst that could happen is selling her off, and the worst that could happen is selling her to a brothel.

Qi Wan raised her chin, looked at the arrogant Lan Ting with contempt, and said something that shocked everyone, "You lowly maid, every time you leave the house without permission to meet with men, you have unmarried relationships, you are not a good wife, and you want to ruin my reputation."

Lan Ting took a few steps back in fear and shouted in panic, "No, no, I didn't."

Qi Wan gave her a sinister smile and laid her cards on the table, "In this place of mine, if I say yes, then you have it."

Lan Ting saw that Qi Wan's temperament suddenly changed and his face was full of murderous intent.

She was so frightened that she fell to her knees, kowtowed and begged, "Miss, for the sake of us growing up together, please have mercy on me. From now on, I... I will never dare to do that again."

Qi Wan approached her and asked through gritted teeth, "I'm going to spare you today, but I'm waiting for you to collude with outsiders to kill me, my family, and everyone in this room?"

"No, no, I won't." Lan Ting's head kept shaking like a rattle.

Qi Wan leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "I know about your collusion with the Third Prince. Go wait for him underground. I will send him to meet you soon."

"Ah!" Lan Ting was terrified, as if someone had pulled out all her bones, and she collapsed to the ground.

Qi Wan stood up and ordered, "Come here, check her body. If she is not a virgin, beat her to death!"

"Yes, miss." Auntie Wu stepped forward and covered Lan Ting's mouth with her hands. Several maids who did rough work forcibly carried Lan Ting to the side room.

The answer came quickly, "She is not a virgin, nor has she recently lost her virginity, leaving traces of sexual intercourse."

"Beat her to death." Qi Wan gave the order in a loud voice.

Lan Ting had her mouth stuffed with a handkerchief and was tied to a bench, like a New Year's pig waiting to be slaughtered.

When Madam Pei heard what happened in Yilan Courtyard, she immediately sent her trusted maid, Lin Ma, to come over.

After learning the whole story, Mother Lin waved her hand and ordered, "Beating him to death!"

Qi Wan raised his chin high and looked at Lan Ting with hateful eyes.

She saw with her own eyes that Lan Ting was beaten to death outside the courtyard of Yilanyuan.

Two women who did rough labor wrapped Lan Ting's body in a torn mat and prepared to carry it to the ravine for a hasty burial.

Qi Wan gave them both a silver ingot and ordered: "Throw her to the mountain to feed the wild dogs."

"Ah... yes, miss."
