Chapter 2: Lu Chengxuan
Bangzi knocked the third watch, and the candles in the Lu family ancestral hall flickered.
Lu Chengxuan suddenly opened his closed eyes, got up and sat on the wooden board, the Lu family tablet was in front, the feet were still paved with green bricks, the doors and windows around were in disrepair, the red paint had faded, and the cold wind was blowing in through the cracks.
Nothing has changed.
She is still Lu Chengxuan, and this is still the abandoned ancestral hall of the Lu family.
It's the same as when I woke up yesterday.
Back then, Ning Juan committed suicide outside the gate of Ning's house, probably because his resentment was too deep, and his soul did not disperse after his death, wandering in the third year of the Great Zhou.
In the past three years, she watched the sisters of the same clan being tortured in the court, watching most of the brothers of the same clan being killed and injured in disasters at the border, watching Zhao Yiling make great achievements for Gao Li, Da Sima was not enough, she was ordered by Shang Shu, and concurrently served as Situ, watching the Lu family rise to prominence, excluding dissidents, covering the sky with one hand with Zhao Youling, and watching Gu Wanqing entangled in Zhao Yiling's side, like the mistress of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family overturned the case, Zhao Youling inherited his father's business again, and Zhao Youling had been dormant for more than ten years, and finally there was no forbearance in vain.
The Kening family became a joke of Da Zhou.
The enemy lived happily and comfortably, and his relatives fell one after another.
Time did not make the hatred in Ning Xuan's heart dissipate, on the contrary, she felt that she was too stupid at the beginning, why didn't she save her life and fight with Zhao Yiling to the last breath, which made the enemy happy and gave Gu Wanqing a place.
Because the Ning family was too guilty, although the courtyard was burned down by a fire that year, the land was still placed there, no one dared to move it, and Ning Juan's soul could not leave the Ning family too far.
It may be because the original owner of this body once strayed into the Ning family by accident, and Ning Xuan's soul was able to occupy this body after her death, and after a period of fainting, it became what it is now.
What's even more ridiculous is that this body, according to its seniority, should be called Zhao Yiling as an uncle.
At that time, Zhao Youling knew that the deadline was approaching before his father Zhao Zhiye was convicted, and secretly dismissed his wife and children, which was Zhao Yiling, and he also had a sibling sister named Zhao Yiyun and his mother Gu Xiu.
Several wives fled abroad, Gu Xiu's health was not good, Zhao Yiyun was favored by Lu Yuancheng, the governor of Zhengdu, in order to raise Zhao Yiling, and married into the Lu family as a concubine.
After Zhao Yiyun was corrected, he helped blow the wind in his ears by Lu Yuancheng's side, the Ning family declined, and Zhao Yiling's credit was naturally the first place, but Lu Yuancheng, as a brother-in-law, also helped.
And Lu Chengxuan's mother is Lu Yuancheng's aunt, Yu Bangyue once married and gave birth to a daughter before following Lu Yuancheng, Lu Chengxuan is just a foreign surname with the surname of the Lu family, so she will be excluded in the Lu family.
Obviously, it was the third lady Lu Chengxue and the fourth miss Lu Chenghuan who made a mistake and broke the eight-treasure glazed jade bottle rewarded by Lu Guifei in the palace.
Lu Chengxuan frowned, the original owner was also a poor person.
Draped the brocade cloak on his shoulders, Lu Chengxuan looked at his thin and dry body and shook his head, so he simply moved lightly and went to the window, stunned.
The silver-white moonlight outside the window sprinkled on the ground that had just snowed, making the night even more solemn and cold, but no matter how cold it was, it was not as cold as the bottom of her heart.
"Little ...... Miss? As if feeling the movements of the people on the board, Qinglian instantly sobered up, and she was also very cold, but she also put the shawl she was wearing on Lu Chengxuan's shoulder, "Why are you up?" ”
Qinglian was brought by Yu Bangyue from her ex-husband's house, and she has been taking care of Lu Chengxuan's side, and the relationship between the two is really good.
"What time is it?" Lu Chengxuan's voice was a little hoarse, as if her vocal cords were damaged, and now she felt that her throat was as uncomfortable as burning when she said a few words, she was still a little hot now, typhoid fever and the wounds on her body did not all get better because of a change of soul, but continued to deteriorate with the delay of time.
Fortunately, this is winter, otherwise the wound on the back should be suppurated, there are countless injuries like this on Lu Chengxuan's body, some were beaten with rattan, some were pinched, and many of them forgot how they came.
Qinglian glanced at the sky and said cowardly, "It's already ugly." ”
Lu Chengxuan nodded, there was still a period of time before dawn, she couldn't sleep, returned the shawl to Qinglian, and walked to the desk by herself, "Go and bring the candle flame next to the tablet." ”
"Fifth Miss......" Qinglian wanted to give the cloak to Lu Chengxuan.
Lu Chengxuan shook his head, "It's too cold here, if all the clothes are given to me, I'm afraid you will also get frostbitten, and you will have to take care of you when the time comes." ”
There was no charcoal fire in the ancestral hall, her hands and feet were a little stiff from the cold, and her face was a little sickly, but Lu Chengxuan forced herself to insist, maybe God felt that she shouldn't have died in the first place, so she was given three years to see the warmth and coldness of the world and live again, as for - becoming a concubine who is not favored by the enemy, this is an irresponsible punishment for her at the beginning.
God has been very kind to her, that day she was disheartened and took poison in front of the gate of the Ning family, ten years of companionship exhausted all her mental strength, and she was covered with scars, and she no longer had the strength and courage to avenge the Ning family, but now it is different.
The identity of the daughter-in-law of the enemy's family is not too good, but at least it is not bad, her concubine is just a name, and she is not really related by blood, otherwise it is called a real fate.
Since I have already died once, and I have seen many things, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Now Lu Chengxuan has to find a way to survive first, and then ...... Avenge......
"Fifth Miss......" Qinglian was a little eager to speak and stopped, "Why don't you rest first, let's copy it tomorrow." ”
"No need." Lu Chengxuan shook his head and thanked Qinglian for her kindness, "It's too cold here, if we don't go out early, we won't starve to death, and we will freeze to death here, you take a hand and move the desk to the window, so that the moonlight can brighten up the hall a little, otherwise it will hurt your eyes." ”
"I can't die right now." Lu Chengxuan said seriously, besides, she didn't think that the current situation was so bitter, the physical pain would eventually get better one day, and the pain in her heart would never be forgotten, and the cold wind outside could make her more awake and believe that none of this was a dream.
But in Qinglian's heart, she felt very unpleasant.
Qinglian felt a little sorry for her own miss,
Obviously, Miss Fifth is also the titular daughter of Master Lu, but this life is really miserable.
is worse than the maid's situation, Aunt Yu never cares about Lu Chengxuan's life or death in order to protect herself, not only does her aunt not hurt, but her biological brother often punches and kicks.
