Chapter 1: Death with Hatred
If Ruan Wushuang didn't want to make a holy decree at the beginning, I'm afraid she would have been living a life of self-deception.
In the autumn of the thirty-second year of Dayan Yuanjia, Prime Minister Ruan Shiqing privately swallowed the disaster relief imperial silver, and his concubine Ruan Wushuang and his concubine Ruan Yunrou killed their relatives with righteousness, and a handwritten certificate reported that his father Ruan Shiqing embezzled the disaster relief imperial silver, and now the evidence is conclusive and sentenced Ruan Shiqing to death.
Song Mansion, now the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ruan Wushuang sat quietly on the rocking chair in Xiao Suo's courtyard, her favorite green silk was piled up on her shoulders, her eye sockets were deep, her eyes were dull and staring ahead, her face was as pale as white paper, and there were some tears on her lips, which could be faintly seen that the tears had leaked pus. The empty trousers swayed wantonly in the autumn wind.
The autumn wind blew down the yellow leaves of the ancient trees in the courtyard, and the remnants of the leaves fell all over the ground, and the cold courtyard was even more desolate. She will never forget the day her father was beheaded.
It rained a lot that day, she ran tirelessly in the rain, she only knew one thing that was spreading in the city, saying that her father was reported by herself and Yun Rou for embezzling the imperial silver for disaster relief, fake, all fake, she didn't write any documents to report her father, and her father didn't do that thing at all, so how could she report it, so her father was framed, she was going to find Yun Rou to go into the palace and tell the emperor that they never wrote. Then he begged the emperor to release his father.
But after searching all possible places, she didn't find Ruan Yunrou, disappointment and despair were intertwined in her heart, she sat down on the ground, but she heard a deafening drum beat, it was...... It was the sound of an execution.
She stood up with support, staggered twice, and without waiting to stabilize her figure, she ran desperately towards the execution table at the entrance of the vegetable market.
However, it was still too late, and the heavy rain was so heavy that her vision was blurred, but she could never forget the scene of her father's head falling to the ground, let alone the smiling sister and her husband's face on the prison platform, at that moment she stood in the rain, unable to distinguish whether it was rain or tears on her face.
Resisting the piercing pain in her heart, she wanted to ask her sister why her husband was like this, but before she could move her steps, she fell straight down.
When she woke up, she was in the Song Mansion, but it was a cold courtyard, and her leg was cut off, she didn't care about her at this moment, she cared more about Song Zichen and Ruan Yunrou who would tell her, what was going on? Why did her father suddenly be reported by the clerk, and it was her and Yun Rou's handwritten paperwork, she obviously didn't write anything, in fact, she had already had the answer in her heart, but she was lucky, I hope it wasn't what she thought. Because that betrayal is too heavy.
Then I heard some small footsteps walking towards the small courtyard, and slowly the sound became closer and clearer, and at this time, there was a trace of fluctuation in Ruan Wushuang's eyes.
Ruan Yunrou and Ruan Wushuang's embarrassment is just the opposite, she is dressed in jewelry, painted the most exquisite makeup, and dressed in the best silk and satin, which contrasts with Ruan Wushuang's rag white clothes, and her high-spirited appearance makes Ruan Wushuang even more dry.
Ruan Yunrou glanced at the embarrassed Ruan Wushuang, and covered her mouth and nose with the handkerchief in her hand with a look of disgust, but she was very proud in her heart.
"Ruan Wushuang didn't expect you, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to have today. ”
Ruan Yunrou was full of pride and high spirits as soon as she opened her mouth, and there was even a hint of mockery of Ruan Wushuang in it.
"What's going on?" Ruan Wushuang didn't seem to care about Ruan Yunrou's ridicule and pride, all she cared about was an answer? She obviously treated her as a good sister, and never looked at her differently because she was a concubine, and even took her with her wherever she went, whether it was the palace banquet or the banquet of the daughter, Ruan Wushuang had Ruan Yunrou's figure. She asked herself, Ruan Yunrou was not thin.
"Well, for the sake of you who are also going to die, I'll tell you, do you think it's me, or Zichen killed his father?" Ruan Yunrou evoked a shallow smile, walked up to Ruan Wushuang and gently pressed her hand on Ruan Wushuang's shoulder.
Ruan Wushuang was silent, quietly waiting for her next step.
"Actually, it's you...... You killed your father, haha. Ruan Yunrou laughed almost maniacally, and pressed Ruan Wushuang's shoulder, almost using all her strength to break her shoulder.
The pain in her body made Ruan Wushuang care more than Ruan Yunrou's words, and her eyes widened as she almost lost her soul. Then he pushed Ruan Yunrou away violently, and he rolled on the ground with the rocking chair all of a sudden.
"You lie......" Ruan Wushuang almost used all his strength to roar, Ruan Yunrou was lying, how could she hurt her father.
"Hehe, then I'll tell you what's going on. Ruan Yunrou said and walked slowly to the side of the ancient tree, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, she really liked to see the scene of Ruan Wushuang, who had always been high-spirited, crawling on the ground like a dog, it was really enjoyable.
"When you married Zichen, it was all designed by me and my mother, and the person who raped you was also arranged by us, and you were so stupid that you thought Zichen really liked you, but in fact, he didn't know that the person he liked was me! He only married you to get the support of his father, otherwise you think you are a broken flower and a willow body, who will marry?"
"As for the document accusing my father of embezzling the emperor's silver for disaster relief, it is indeed your own name, but no one forced you. You may not know that your father did not approve of your marriage to Zichen in the first place, it is because your father and Zichen are political enemies in the court!"
"Zichen persuaded his father to stand on the side of the prince, but his father insisted on standing on the side of the four princes, I believe you also know how much court appeal the father of the prime minister has, so the prince naturally wants to get rid of his father, so what can make his father's power uprooted?"
"It must be the case of the disappearance of Huangyin that shocked the entire Dayan two years ago. ”
Ruan Yunrou's words were like artillery fire that shattered all her defense lines little by little, it turned out that everything was a conspiracy, but she jumped in stupidly, Ruan Wushuang laughed twice, and suddenly looked at Ruan Yunrou with cold eyes.
Her eyes were deep, and the chill that burst out of her eyes made Ruan Yunrou's scalp tingle, but then she thought that Ruan Wushuang was just her prisoner now, so she looked at Ruan Wushuang with a smile, but that smile did not contain a trace of warmth.
"Good strategy, you are really good strategy, the so-called signing of me is just Song Zichen's imitation of my words!"
Yes, the moment she woke up in this small courtyard, she spent a lot of time thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, but she never believed that her favorite husband would approach her with a conspiracy, and she didn't believe that her sister, who had been taking care of her, would betray her, and even use herself to kill her father and kill the nine clans of the Ruan family.
And now the facts tell her that she is too stupid, Song Zichen will marry her, on the one hand, he needs his father's power to help him rise to the top, and on the other hand, he wants to imitate her words and frame his father, because she studied under Master Fa Shan, her penmanship is not so easy to imitate, and she finally understands why Song Zichen likes to let her help him copy some documents.
It turned out that he was just trying to imitate her words, and then prepare for the defeat of his father, but she understood it too late, and when Ruan Yunrou didn't come, she even believed him stupidly in her heart.
"You are still just as annoying, does Ruan Wushuang know what I hate you the most? I hate you the most for looking like you have seen through everything and is confident, although you are good to me, but in my opinion, it is all your charity, but I don't need your charity, because I will snatch it from you if I want it. Ruan Yunrou sneered and continued.
"Although we are both his daughters, but he only spoils you, and gives you everything first, and he praises you for being smart, haha...... It's a pity that you are smart, aren't you also defeated in my hands?" Ruan Yunrou laughed arrogantly, along with tears, she hated, she hated that so-called father, she hated Ruan Wushuang, she hated them.
"Defeat, hehe......" Ruan Wushuang whispered softly, sneering at himself, tears slid down his face and fell on the residual leaves, tears slowly blurred on the surface of the leaves, like blooming flowers and like a sign of death. And the remnant leaves are just like her now, if she doesn't bloom in an instant, she can only be dominated by fate.
"Ruan Wushuang, Zichen will welcome me through the door in a few days, but unfortunately you can't see it anymore, I'm here to see you on your way today. ”
Ruan Yunrou smiled enchantingly, and while walking slowly towards Ruan Wushuang, she took out a delicate and small dagger from her arms, which was a token that Song Zichen once gave her to make love, when she couldn't find it a few days ago, she was still guilty about it, but she didn't want the reality to always drench her stimulation with blood, and yesterday's tenderness and sweetness were all turned into intestinal poison, it turned out that the dagger was not missing, but he gave it to Ruan Yunrou.
"Remember this dagger, I'll use it to get you on your way today. ”
Ruan Yunrou bent down and squatted in front of Ruan Wushuang, saying word by word, as if she was showing off like her, but Ruan Wushuang's eyes did not have a trace of waves, as indifferent as a windless lake.
Ruan Yunrou hated Ruan Wushuang like this, her face was ruthless, and the dagger stabbed into Ruan Wushuang's heart, Ruan Yunrou leaned close to her ear and said cruelly: "Remember that you were the one who killed my father." ”
Ruan Wushuang was unable to lie on the ground, and a withered yellow leaf was just blown by the wind to cover her eyes, Song Zichen, Ruan Yunrou, even if I Ruan Wushuang turned into a ghost, I would not let you go.
There is the sound of footsteps in her ears, the most unforgivable thing in her life Ruan Wushuang is herself, if she had seen through Ruan Yunrou's wolf ambition earlier, and Song Zichen's hypocrisy earlier, if she had listened to her father and married Song Zichen without obsession, would her father not have died, and the Ruan family would not have perished, and she was still the daughter of the prime minister who was raised in the boudoir and did not know the world, Ruan Wushuang slowly knocked on his eyelids in endless remorse. The last thing that remains in my heart is, Father, I'm sorry.
