"Ah, stop! Stop! Don't kill them!"

"Shen Mingxiu, I beg you, please spare their lives!"

"Please, please, no, no!"

Ye Qingyu struggled desperately, her eyes stained red with anger and despair. She was held tightly, watching helplessly as her loving grandfather was stabbed in the throat, bright red blood spurting out...

The ground was littered with the bodies of her loved ones, and the courtyard was covered in blood. She struggled desperately, screaming with all her might...

She was released at some point, and Ye Qingyu fell to her knees. She struggled to crawl towards the corpse of her loved one, her fair hands stained with sticky blood...

"Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up..."

"Second uncle, second aunt..."

"Third uncle, third aunt, wake up, ah..."

She held her grandfather's cold body, tears welling up in her eyes, her sobs hoarse and desperate...

She raised her head suddenly, her blood-red eyes filled with boundless hatred, shooting at the man in front of her, "Why! Why did you kill them!"

The man was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, his handsome face had a cold and ruthless expression, and the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.

"Treason and rebellion, the whole family shall be executed!" His voice was cold and calm, cruel and terrifying.

Ye Qingyu laughed crazily, "Haha, what a joke! Treason? The Duke's Mansion helped you ascend to the throne of Crown Prince, helped you ascend to the supreme position. What country are you treasoning against? Grandfather handed all the military power to you. The Duke's Mansion doesn't have a single soldier under his command. How can he plot treason?"

"Shen Mingxiu, you have persecuted loyal officials and murdered the entire families of meritorious officials. You are so cruel before you even ascended the throne. Aren't you afraid that you will lose your position as emperor?"

Someone interrupted her wild laughter with a loud voice, "Stop talking nonsense! Ye Qingyu, you should be thankful that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only divorced you and spared your life for these rebels to collect their bodies!"

Marquis Ye walked forward and looked at her arrogantly, "You have been expelled from the Marquis' Mansion. You are no longer a young lady of the Marquis' Mansion and have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion!"

Ye Qingyu's expression was desolate, and her laughter was shrill and crazy, like she had gone mad. "Father! You are such a good father to me!"

These were her relatives! They treated her like a piece of trash, wishing they could kill her to prove their loyalty.

"Ye Qingyu, you can't blame father for this. You are the granddaughter of a traitor. Your father has been very kind to you by not killing you for the sake of justice. Brother Mingxiu didn't want to kill you either. You should be grateful." Ye Qianqian walked over gracefully in a phoenix robe, and put her slender hand affectionately around Shen Mingxiu, her eyes full of pride and boasting.

"You! Bastards! You will die a miserable death!"

Seeing this, what else was there for her to understand? It turned out that divorcing her was to make room for Ye Qianqian!

"Insulting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you courting death?"

"Haha, death? Who's afraid?"

Ye Qingyu clenched the dagger in her hand, jumped up suddenly, and stabbed towards Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian screamed in terror, "Ah, Brother Mingxiu, save me!"

With a "pu" sound, the sharp sword pierced Ye Qingyu's heart. Ye Qingyu's eyes widened as she stared at the man in front of her.

This was the man she had fought tooth and nail to marry. She had dragged the entire Duke's Mansion to pave the way for him and help him ascend to a high position, but in return, he had her heart pierced by his own hands. And he, because her blood splattered on the hem of his clothes, tore it off in disgust.

Ye Qingyu collapsed to the ground, her weak hands resting on her belly, where she and Shen Mingxiu's child was, already three months old...

My child, please forgive your mother for not being able to bring you into this world.

In a trance, she seemed to see the King of Chu in military uniform, striding towards her.

The King of Chu sighed, "Pick up the bodies of the people in the Duke's Mansion and bury them properly."

What is her life? If there is an afterlife...

In a daze, Ye Qingyu heard a calling voice passing by her ears.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, Miss, wake up."

The voice in her ear was filled with anxiety and worry. The familiar tone, with a hint of childishness, made Ye Qingyu feel a little strange.

Who is it? Who is calling her? Has anyone come to save her?

"Shen Mingxiu! Ye Qianqian! You will not live happily ever after!"

Ye Qingyu screamed desperately, her hoarse voice filled with despair and unwillingness.

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking, and Ye Qingyu opened her eyes abruptly. Her dark and deep eyes were filled with tears and boundless sorrow.

"Miss, Miss, you are finally awake. Are you having a nightmare?"

Ye Qingyu's blurred vision gradually made her see the person in front of her clearly.

There was a hint of baby fat on her porcelain-white oval face, a small nose, willow-shaped eyebrows, and pure almond-shaped eyes looking at her with concern.

The person in front of me looks like Nianchun, but she is a lot younger.

However, Nianchun was killed by her as early as the second year after she married into the Fourth Prince's mansion...

"Nianchun, are you here to pick me up?" Shouldn't she be happy that someone is accompanying her on the way to the underworld?

Nianchun looked at her mistress with a mixture of worry and confusion, "Miss, are you drifting off in sleep? I've been right beside you the whole time."

"Did you have a nightmare? Why are you crying so sadly?" Nianchun wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief with heartache.

The handkerchief brushed against my cheek softly and gently, and the touch felt so real.

Ye Qingyu then felt something was wrong. She seemed to be in a carriage, which was shaking and bumping slightly. The speed was not fast, but it was real.

Ye Qingyu sat up straight abruptly and anxiously lifted the car curtain to look outside.

Everywhere she looked, she saw lush green trees, the faint sound of birdsong, and the bright sunshine shining on her white palms, warm and scorching.

Haha, she is back, she is reborn!

Ye Qingyu laughed foolishly, wondering if God couldn't stand her stupidity and sent her back for revenge!

Nianchun became even more worried when she saw the young lady crying and laughing.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me!"

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly, "I'm fine, where are you now?"

Nianchun was startled and quickly replied, "We were just on our way back to the Marquis' Mansion from Nanhua Temple when our carriage broke down and we're now lagging behind."

Ye Qingyu lifted the car curtain and looked forward. Her clear, dark eyes were like a bottomless cold pool.

She remembered that in her previous life, her tragedy could be said to have started from here.

This was the case in her previous life. Her carriage broke down for some reason and the driver took half an hour to repair it before setting off again.

She was drowsy while swaying in the carriage and did not notice that the driver did not take the official road, but instead went to a secluded path. It was there that she met the robbers and was almost kidnapped.

At this critical moment, she met Ye Shuwen who was passing by on his way to Beijing for the imperial examination. He brought his servants to drive away the robbers and saved her.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she saw this man again at the old lady's place and learned that he was a distant relative of the Marquis' Mansion.

Later, for some unknown reason, my father and the old lady took a fancy to Ye Shuwen and wanted to adopt him as my mother's legitimate son. They used the excuse of saving her life to get her to agree to adopt him as her stepbrother, and went to persuade my grandfather.

At that time, she really thought that they were trying to find her a stepbrother to rely on in the future, but she had no idea of ​​the evil intentions hidden in it.

Everything starts from today...
