The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

Mo Cerong narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Yanhua with scrutiny: "This can't be used as evidence at all."

A pair of women's earrings can appear in the temple in many ways, and they are not just Su Ruoxi's accessories.

Su Yanhua sneered, "The Su Mansion Temple is different from other temples. It's built differently, and the smell is different. The Su Mansion Temple burns pear incense, and when the pear incense powder comes into contact with pearls, it will dye the pearls. In just two hours, the snow-white pearls will be dyed red like blood."

"After the incident, my father immediately sealed off the temple and sent yamen runners to investigate. Li Xiang was also imprisoned inside. As far as I know, there is no Li Xiang in the entire Lingcheng."

Su Yanhua looked at Mo Cerong in a daze and said, "Why, are you still trying to deny that these earrings aren't Su Ruoxi's at all?"

"She bought another set at the last banquet, and there's a matching earring in her dressing box." Su Yanhua smiled and said, "Of course she has the opportunity to say it belonged to another noble lady, but without her knowledge, do you think the physical evidence of the other earring is more convincing, or her sophistry?"

Su Yanhua approached him and said softly, "Mo Cerong, if you want to cleanse the stain on her, it depends on whether I am willing or not."

She was dressed in plain clothes, standing in front. The beautiful woman did not look weak, and her eyes were cold and could not be melted by anyone. The woman with a flushed face that day seemed to be gradually becoming distant, as if she had never appeared.

Mo Cerong raised his eyes and said in a calm voice, "Then what do you want?"

She stepped back and stood back to her original position. The scent of apricot blossoms was wafting in the air, with a hint of sourness.

"Promise me one thing, and this will be as if it never happened."

"what's up?"

"Lend me your secret guard."

Xuan Feng flew over from the darkness and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, you can't do that."

The secret guards of the royal family and nobles are all trained by their masters personally and are loyal to their masters all their lives. One secret guard can resist a hundred or so royal guards. The power of a secret guard is unimaginable. If they were given to Su Yanhua at will, who knows how much trouble would be caused.

Mo Cerong asked, "Why?"

Su Yanhua pursed her lips tightly, and uttered in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, you have no right to ask."

He looked at her. Her eyes were cold, but her pupils were extremely bright, like a star in the dark night sky.

"Give her the Dark Guard of Xuantie."

Xuan Feng was shocked: "Your Majesty—"

"No need. I don't use secret guards to kill people, so I don't need that many. I just need one who can investigate."

Mo Cerong was silent for a while, then he said, "The black iron is for you."

A gust of black wind blew, and a tall and mighty man in black stood in front of Su Yanhua.

"I will return the black iron to you after this is over."

……

That night, the moon was as white as snow, and the cold moonlight poured down. It had rained all night, and the ground was a little wet. A howling sound came from the courtyard, and the long willow branches fluttered in the night, making people feel fear and uneasiness.

Xu stopped and the servant behind her asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Xu's face was filled with fear: "Did you hear any sound?"

Seeing the maids' bewildered expressions, she spoke again, "There's a woman crying, didn't you hear it?"

The maids looked at each other and shook their heads.

The night was quiet and eerie, the wind outside was howling coldly, and suddenly there was a piercing scream, the sound was so sharp and terrifying that it seemed to pierce directly into the depths of one's soul.

"what!"

Xu yelled, "Did you hear that?"

The maids trembled, and fear was revealed in everything they saw around them.

"Madam, it really sounds like a woman's scream. Is there a female ghost who died unjustly in our yard?"

female ghost?

He died unjustly!

Xu Shi didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face froze and she murmured anxiously, "Go, go—"

Before she had taken a few steps, a maid suddenly shouted and pointed ahead: "Madam, then that—"

The maid was shaking with fear, her face as pale as paper.

Everyone looked over. Moonlight filtered through the pale clouds, casting an eerie shadow. In the dim light, the figure was dressed in white, with black hair draped over their shoulders. Their skin was frighteningly pale, and blue veins were visible on their thin neck. They tore at their own hair, their hands drooping, blood dripping from their fingers onto the ground. Each drop of blood dripped onto the ground, creating a sense of utter silence in this eerily quiet environment.

Everyone couldn't help but scream.

Xu's hands began to tremble unconsciously, and cold sweat began to appear on her temples.

The female ghost slowly turned around, her face pale, her eyes empty and cold, as if she had seen something. She stared at Xu and forced a smile, which revealed a hint of evil.

Xu's head exploded with a shaky sound, and she let out a trembling, broken scream: "No, don't come to me, it's not me who hurt you, don't—"

The maids shouted to Xu in fear: "Madam—"

The room was silent. A woman in white with loose hair pushed the door open and entered. She bowed to the woman leaning against the corner of the table and said, "Miss, Aunt Xu is very frightened."

Su Yanhua opened her eyes and smiled, "Only someone with a guilty conscience would be so scared. Cui'er, thank you for your hard work."

Cui Er straightened her hair and couldn't help asking, "Miss, is Concubine Xu really the one who killed Madam?"

Su Yanhua was silent for a moment. If she had not been reborn, she would not have believed it.

In his previous life, Su Bing went to war and met her mother Jiang Youbai by chance. They fell in love at first sight. Su Bing insisted on marrying Jiang Youbai despite the objection of old lady Su. The wedding was ten miles long and the women in Lingcheng were very envious. They all praised that the son of a general actually married a commoner. After marriage, the two lived a respectful life and loved each other very much.

However, while Jiang Youbai was out, he encountered the impoverished Xu. Reflecting on her own past, Xu, having lost her family, softened her heart and made Xu her his maid, treating her with utmost care. But fate seemed to play a huge joke on Jiang Youbai. One night, while drunk, Su Bing indulged Xu. Though heartbroken, Jiang Youbai could not withstand Xu's remorse, and so he allowed Su Bing to take Xu as his concubine.

Su Bing had a wife and a concubine, and they lived in harmony. Xu defended Jiang Youbai in front of Old Madam Su many times and gradually gained Jiang Youbai's trust. But her mother was too kind and did not understand Xu's wolfish ambitions. When Jiang Youbai was not feeling well, she pretended to treat Jiang Youbai, but secretly poisoned her. Jiang Youbai died of heavy bleeding during childbirth.

Su Yanhua couldn't believe it. Although her mother had been unwell before, she was slowly recovering thanks to Master Wuchan's medical skills. How could she have suddenly died of a massive hemorrhage? Her doubts vanished in Su Ruoxi's grief-stricken tears. As for Xu, Su Bing had only just mentioned her as his wife after his mother's funeral.

When she died tragically in her previous life, Su Ruoxi only told her that she had been drugged, but she still needed to investigate how and what drug she had used. In her previous life, she was blinded by the evil man Xi and mistakenly trusted others. This time, she must find out the truth about her mother's death and avenge her mother.

The night grew colder, a dark wind blew, and a tall man in black burst into the room.

Cui'er was startled and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Yanhua stretched out her hand and said, "Cui'er, we are one family."

Cui'er was stunned. She didn't know when her young lady had any contact with such a person. This person looked very murderous and must have killed many people.

Xuan Tie bowed to Su Yanhua and said, "A few years ago, Master Wuchan of Wuhua Mountain was expelled from the mountain by Abbot Yideng because he killed a wealthy businessman."

Su Yanhua sneered and said, "That's quite a coincidence. I've found out whether Master Wuchan's residence is still in Wuhua Mountain."

Xuan Tie was stunned. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Yes, he lives at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, but the world doesn't know it."

"It's so strange that he killed someone and nothing happened."

Especially the doctors who are respected by the world. They hold people in high esteem when they are sick, but will be blamed by the world when they make mistakes in treatment. It can be said that they climb better but fall harder.

Xuan Tie said, "Only the family of that wealthy businessman and nobleman came to cause trouble, the rest did not."

"Is there anyone else who can treat him?"

Xuan Tie nodded: "Although some people still go, Master Wuchan has never treated anyone again. Someone offered a hundred taels, but Master Wuchan remained indifferent."

Su Yanhua felt even more puzzled. At first, she thought Wuchan was just a man who valued money more than anything else, but now she couldn't look at him normally. She became more and more curious about how Wuchan valued treasures more than anything else, and how Xu had persuaded him to harm others.

Xuan Tie thought of something. He glanced at Su Yanhua and spoke again, "A group of Zen monks will be coming to Wuhua Mountain to pay homage the day after tomorrow. They specifically requested that Master Wuchan accompany them, and Abbot Yideng agreed."

Master Wuchan has been living in seclusion for many years, and people have offered him a hundred taels of silver, but he has refused to come out this time. It seems that this person is either a high-ranking official or someone who has close contacts with Master Wuchan.
